Adaptable Cargo Space
Crossover SUVs tend to excel at cargo-hauling. The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox can offer up to 1,810 litres of cargo volume when the rear seat is folded down. Additionally, the automaker also included a secure storage compartment under the floor.
Programmable Power Liftgate
The ability to haul a lot of cargo for its size isn’t much good if it’s difficult to get items in the 2023 Equinox in the first place. Chevrolet offers a programmable power liftgate that can be opened and closed with the push of a button.

Performance & Capability
Engine Specs
Every 2023 Chevrolet Equinox uses the same powertrain. A turbocharged 1.5-litre, four-cylinder engine is under the hood that will be attached to a six-speed automatic transmission. It will make 175 horsepower (a five-horsepower increase) and 203 pound-feet of torque.
Broadly Available AWD
Driving during a Canadian winter can be difficult at times. The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox can be equipped with the manufacturer’s all-wheel drive system on most of its trim grades. All-wheel drive will certainly help on slippery roads, but it will also be beneficial during general cornering.

|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder |
| Horsepower | 175 |
| Transmission | 6-speed automatic |
