The much-awaited redesign of Chevy’s entry in the hot compact SUV wars goes on sale this spring. The current model has soldiered on without a major update in five years and rides a platform that dates to 2004.
The new Equinox will launch with a standard 170-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic, but it will be joined by a 252-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with GM’s new nine-speed automatic and a 136-hp, 1.6-liter turbo-diesel in the second quarter of 2017. The high-mileage diesel will go head-to-head with Mazda’s diesel promised later next year for the redone 2017 CX-5 compact SUV.
Chevy also is loading up the new Equinox with its latest multimedia and driver safety technology – including a forward collision system with automatic braking and a 360-degree camera system – to keep pace with the fast-changing competition in the class.

Chevy says the Equinox will be offered in L, LS, LT and Premier trims, with front-wheel and all-wheel drive, but it gave no further pricing information beyond the base model.
