2021 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews: Driving Experience

In their 2021 Chevy Equinox review, the folks at Car and Driver praise its responsiveness and easy handling, saying:

• “Agreeable and easy to drive, the Equinox handles competently, and its steering is accurate and direct.”

Of course, Car and Driver wasn’t the only resource to weigh in on the 2021 Equinox performance! U.S. News & World Report also touched on the impressive specs delivered by the available 2.0L engine in particular:

•  “…the horsepower rating from the larger engine is one of the highest in the class, bested only by a couple of Jeep models.”

2021 Chevy Equinox Reviews: Safety & Driver-Assist Features

Boasting an all-new, fully-equipped standard suite of safety features, the 2021 Equinox inspires confidence in any condition on Shawnee Mission roads. Called “Chevy Safety Assist,” here’s what Kelley Blue Book had to say about the advanced driver-assistive tech that now comes standard in every Equinox model:

• “Last year the Chevy Equinox finally caught up to the competition with its suite of standard active-safety features. Now included are automatic emergency braking, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist, plus IntelliBeam automatic headlights.”

Curious about the Equinox safety ratings from the IIHS and the NHTSA? So far, only the NHTSA has tested the 2021 Equinox AWD model, which received a 5-star overall crash test rating. But if the 2020 Equinox FWD safety ratings are any indication, it’s safe to say the 2021 FWD models should perform just as well!

• NHTSA 2020 Equinox FWD Rating: 5-star overall crash test rating

• IIHS 2020 Equinox Rating: Highest rating of “Good” on all crash tests, highest rating of “Superior” on all accident avoidance and mitigation tests

2021 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews: Entertainment

Modern SUVs must meet a lot more expectations than the SUV models of years past. They don’t just need to be spacious and safe for Overland Park families, but they also must serve as an entertainment center to keep passengers occupied and the driver focused. In the entertainment category, the 2021 Equinox earns top marks!

Here’s what Car and Driver had to say:

• “A 7.0-inch touchscreen (or optional 8.0-inch screen) displays Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment interface atop the Equinox’s dash; the system continues to impress with its ease of use and quick responses. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard, as are Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB connectivity, and an auxiliary input jack. Standard onboard Wi-Fi makes the Equinox one of the best-connected crossovers.”
