Since you live in Northern New Jersey, you know the weather can get bad. You also know that traveling from Denville to Clifton or Newark to Morristown is a regular trip. One that can rack up a lot of gas and keep you in your car for at least a couple of hours there and back. That's all the reason I picked up a new Chevy Equinox. Top-level efficiency, a performance that can handle the weather, and a tech-centric cabin points to the 2024 Chevy Equinox at Schumacher Chevrolet.
Put Some Respect on this Technology
Imagine this. You've had a long day at the office. And if that wasn't enough, now you've gotta make a trip from Clifton to Parsippany for business. You're tired, so your senses aren't hitting on all cylinders. But you've got help with the Chevy Safety Assist. This technology provides six standard safety features for every single Chevy Equinox:
Automatic Emergency Braking will apply brakes when a vehicle or another object is directly ahead of you and collision is possible.Forward Collision Alert uses alerts to give you a heads-up when a potential collision is coming.
Front Pedestrian Braking will also detect people or animals who cross in front of your vehicle. And will brake if needed.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning comes in clutch when snowy weather in Northern New Jersey makes the road markings hard to see. This technology uses sensors to help you stay centered.
Following Distance Indicator will help you keep a safe traveling distance from the vehicle in front of you.
IntelliBeam Auto High Beams will automatically adjust your high beams when sensors detect vehicles coming in the opposite direction.
An upgrade to a higher trim will add HD Surround Vision, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to provide even more peace of mind on your way home.
Performance and Efficiency
You're a pro. You know how to handle slick roads and rough weather in Northern New Jersey. And you also know that you need a vehicle with AWD to help you maneuver. The Chevy Equinox gives you part-time AWD—a feature that will automatically switch your vehicle to AWD when traction is lost. Now, that's clutch—and necessary in Northern New Jersey.
And, of course, you don't want to dump hundreds of dollars into your gas tank every month. So, the Chevy Equinox will give you an EPA-estimated 26/32 MPG city/highway with FWD. The estimated cost to fill your tank to the brim is around $54. And with that full tank, you can travel up to 406 miles. It won't get much better than that.
You'll Enjoy Driving Again
How many hours do you spend in your vehicle each week? Including traffic, the average is about eight hours a week. That's a full workday, per week, you spend in your vehicle. So, you may as well ride in comfort with the Chevy Equinox. The LS trim includes form-fitting premium cloth bucket seats for those who want the most affordable Equinox. You'll also have 40.9 inches of front legroom in the front with 39.9 inches in the rear.
Upgrades are AvailableBut as always, there's more appointments available for more convenience and comfort. The Chevy Equinox RS adds perforated leather-appointed seats, while the Chevy Equinox Premium offers heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats.
All trims can support groceries, shopping bags, and strollers with 63.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. And when you need to load your car while your hands are full, the available hands-free power liftgate delivers more accessibility.
It Keeps You Connected
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility is included with every Chevy Equinox. No upgrade needed. The mobile Wi-Fi hotspot also comes in handy when you need to check an email while parked or let your kids stream shows without taking data off your monthly phone plan. That's also a standard inclusion for every Equinox, along with the 7-inch infotainment screen.
But with an upgrade to the Chevy Equinox Premiere, that size climbs to an 8-inch infotainment screen with in-cabin Navigation. And the added wireless charging pad is a Godsend for those who despise clutter and value an organized cabin.
