With our customers here at Chuck Hutton Chevrolet leading very busy lives and having every open slot of their schedule filled up daily, the task of the daily commute can be unavoidable! Many vehicles that are now coming out are making this tedious task much more bearable, and give you the opportunity to begin enjoying your commute as opposed to dreading it. The well-equipped and budget-minded 2021 Chevy Equinox now has another achievement to boast about for the year, as it earned a spot on the U.S News & World Report's list of the 15 best Commuter Cars and SUVs of 2021.
Every vehicle to make this list has taken detailed measures to be budget-minded, as they are all under $25,000. Ample cargo space and roomy seating, a comfortable ride quality, an easy-to-use infotainment system, and a large number of standard safety features are all characteristics that helped this year's Equinox earn this segment-leading achievement. When you come to visit us this spring for a test drive, you have the choice from the entry-level L, LS, LT, and Premier trims.
The power source for this efficient and time-saving model is a 1.5-liter turbo engine paired to a six-speed automatic transmission generating 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. You'll be pleased daily to enjoy an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 31 mpg on the highway when the SUV is equipped with FWD. You'll also benefit from the hidden storage directly under the rear cargo floor, and a hands-free power liftgate that offers you easy and quick access to the cargo area. Even before the events of the past year, busy workdays begin well before you arrive at the office, and the benefit of having connectivity to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability allows you to connect with your cohorts at any hour.
With a spry driving personality and roomy cabin, any daily driver is bound to feel that they are knocking out the items on their to-do list with so very much more than a vehicle that just handles the bare essentials! The Car And Driver staff favored the LT model after their numerous test drives, as it provides the addition of several worthwhile features from its spot situated just above the LS trim. Busy days with a fresh coffee and your laptop by your side will be more productive with an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, SiriusXM satellite radio, tinted rear windows, body-colored exterior mirror housings, and extra chrome trim.
On top of its presence on this “best of” list offered up by one of the nation's most trusted publications, the Equinox also scored a five-star honor from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For the busy and time-crunched Tennessee commuters that place driver-assistance features at the top of their lists, the Equinox boasts standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist with lane-departure warning, and available adaptive cruise control.
