Chevy has refreshed its second best-selling vehicle after the Silverado. The current-gen Equinox has been more or less the same since it was launched in 2017, but the 2021 model has gone through a mild facelift. The SUV now looks sharper, smarter, and a lot more aggressive. The company has added a host of driver assistance features and even introduced a new RS trim to the lineup. Chevy managed to sell over 346,000 examples of the Equinox in 2019, and the new RS trim should help boost sales even more.

Interestingly, Chevrolet has retained the same drivetrains that power the current-gen Equinox as well. The current model came with a diesel engine, but it was soon taken off the shelves. The 2021 Chevy Equinox will be offered with two engines to choose from:
-* A 1.5-liter, Four-Cylinder, Turbocharged Engine
-* It Produces 170 Horses and 203 Pound-Feet of Torque
-* And Mates To A Six-Speed Automatic Transmission
-* A 2.0-liter, Four-Cylinder, Turbocharged Engine
-* This One Develops 252 Ponies and 260 Pound-Feet of Torque
-* And It's Paired To a Nine-Speed Automatic Gearbox
There’s nothing new on the inside per se, but Chevy has added a host of driver assistance features that now include the likes of:
-* HD Surround Vision Camera System
-* Automatic Parking Assist
-* Safety Alert Seat
-* Front Park Assist
On the outside, the 2021 Chevy Equinox features many changes depending on trim. These include:
-* Redesigned Front and Rear Ends To Give The SUV An Aggressive Stance
-* New LED Headlights and Daytime Running Lights
-* Grille With Chrome Inserts
-* Logo Projecting Tailgate
Chevrolet has not announced any prices yet, but we don’t expect much of a hike since it hasn’t really made changes other than a few design elements and brought in the new RS trim. Which, by the way, will most likely slot below the Premier. The company announced that the SUV will reach the dealerships this fall.
