CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2022 & TRAVERSE 2022 - walkaround
15The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is among the most popular compact crossovers, but mass consumption doesn't mean it's truly compelling. Sure, the Chevy has plentiful passenger room, a feature-laden infotainment system, and athletic handling. However, it falls short in terms of interior quality and storage space compared with its competitors. While all-wheel drive is optional, all Equinox models are powered by the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The spendier trim levels push prices into expensive territory but people who are committed to the bow-tie brand and unfazed by mediocrity will appreciate the 2022 Equinox.
What's New for 2022?
A refreshed front end highlights the changes to the 2022 #Equinox. The makeover brings more distinctive headlights, a new grille design, and updated front and rear bumpers. Chevy also adds an RS model, which includes sporty styling cues such as dark 19-inch wheels and blacked-out exterior trim. Its interior boasts a unique shift knob, red stitching, and black upholstery. The top-tier Premier also has spiffier cabin details, such as French stitching and gloss-black trim on the console. The more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is no longer offered, leaving the turbo 1.5-liter engine as the sole offering. This update to Chevy's compact SUV was originally intended for the 2021 model year, but has been delayed to 2022 because of the global Coronavirus pandemic.
2022 Traverse Overview
Chevrolet's handsome minivan-alternative—the 2022 Traverse SUV—has enough capability to negotiate snowy roads and plenty of space to make road trips comfortable for the whole family. A 3.6-liter V-6 provides ample power, and it proved relatively fuel efficient in our testing; front-wheel drive is standard but all-wheel drive is optional. The Traverse is one of the bigger options in the mid-size SUV class and boasts one of the largest cargo areas, outdoing key rivals such as the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, and the Kia Telluride.
