From transporting cargo to getting us around town for errands to comfortably carrying us across longer distances for vacations, our vehicles need to be able to do a lot in order to meet all of our needs. Since most of us don’t have the money or space to have a fleet of vehicles at our command, it’s important to choose a single model that’s well-rounded. Here at Newton Chevrolet GMC, we know that our customers are looking for cars that are reliable, comfortable, and won’t break the bank. That’s why we’re proud to offer quality models like the 2024 Chevy Equinox, a compact SUV that handles well, looks stylish, and comes in a variety of trim levels so that you can get one that’s exactly right for your needs and your budget.
The Equinox has a spacious interior that provides plenty of room for both passengers and cargo. If you need seating for five, you can leave all the seats up and still have 29.9 cu.ft. of space in the back, which is plenty for a family’s worth of luggage or groceries. For bulkier items, you can fold the rear seats flat to unlock up to 63.9 cu.ft. of space, so you don’t have to pay extra to have that new piece of furniture delivered. This is just one example of how the Equinox is a versatile vehicle that’s prepared to tackle a wide variety of situations.

Whether you’re driving alone or have enough passengers to fill all five seats, the 2024 Equinox has plenty of comfort to go around. The spacious interior lets everyone have a good amount of space to themselves, and there are enough cup holders for each person onboard to have a tasty refreshment while en route. Between the two front seats is a large center console storage bin that lets you easily stash essential things, like your wallet or purse, without taking up your front passenger’s legroom or asking them to hold something for you.
When it comes to technology, the 2024 Equinox is fully stocked. With standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can access your favorite navigation apps, music streaming services, and podcatchers through the vehicle’s interface. The top-tier Premier trim also comes standard with a wireless charging pad, so you can use your device and keep it powered up without ever having to reach for a single cord. Another available feature is an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, which makes it easy to access the internet while on the go.
While the Equinox gives you plenty of ways to make use of your personal devices, there are also a variety of features built into its interface. For instance, connected navigation is available on the LT, RS, and Premier trims, so you don’t need your phone’s map app to get where you’re going. Voice commands come standard across all trims, but if you’re looking for the full digital assistant experience, you can opt for a model with Amazon Alexa built-in. With this feature, you can ask questions, give commands, and even operate smart devices connected to your Amazon account while on the road.
While the base Equinox LS is a comfortable vehicle with plenty to offer, there are perks to upgrading to higher trim levels. On a cold winter morning, the standard heating system will go a long way, but you can warm up even faster with the available heated seats. New for the 2024 model year, heated front seats now come standard on the LT trim, as well as the RS and Premier. If you want to keep your back seat passengers equally toasty, you can find heated rear seats as an available feature on the Premier, which also comes standard with a heated steering wheel.
One thing that just about every driver can agree on is the importance of safety. Driving can get complicated, especially in heavy traffic or bad weather, so you want to make sure you have as many advantages on your side as possible. That’s why Chevy is dedicated to making the Equinox a safe vehicle with plenty of driver assistance features. That dedication is paying off since the 2024 Equinox earned a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Even the most affordable trim of the Equinox comes standard with plenty of invaluable driver-assist features. A rear vision camera gives you a better view of your surroundings when parking or backing out of a driveway. Forward Collision Alert warns you when the system senses that an accident is imminent, and if you don’t react quickly enough, then Automatic Emergency Braking will activate to mitigate the collision. The system doesn’t just sense large objects like other vehicles; it can also detect pedestrians.
When you’re driving on the highway at high speeds, it’s extra important to keep your distance from the vehicles around you. With the standard Following Distance Indicator in the 2024 Equinox, you can make sure that you have enough of a cushion of time to react safely if the vehicle ahead of you slows down or stops suddenly. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist can prevent you from drifting too close to the traffic to your sides.
Of course, rural roads have their own dangers, such as not having as much lighting at night. With standard IntelliBeam automatic high beam assist, you don’t have to worry about turning your brights on and off to maintain visibility without distracting or dazing the drivers around you. The system automatically detects light levels and reacts accordingly, so you can focus on driving.
While safety matters for drivers and passengers of all ages, parents have an even greater sense of urgency when it comes to road safety. Luckily, the Equinox has you covered every step of the way. The second row of seating features standard LATCH anchors so that you can securely attach a car seat without repurposing the vehicle’s seat belts. Rear Seat Reminder also comes standard, helping you remember to check the back seat when you leave the Equinox if the system senses that the rear doors were opened and closed earlier in the trip. When the kids get old enough to drive on their own, you can use Chevy’s Teen Driver system to set limits, monitor their progress, and coach them to be responsible drivers.
Not only can the 2024 Equinox get you where you need to go, but it can also help you make an entrance when you arrive. Whether you want subtle class or a splashy exterior that’s sure to turn heads, there’s an Equinox that matches your sense of style, inside and out. For the 2024 model year, two new exterior paint colors have been added to the lineup: Riptide Blue Metallic and Lakeshore Blue Metallic. These shades of blue give you some bright colors that aren’t quite as ostentatious as Radiant Red, letting you show off your colorful personality in a way that works for you. If you don’t want to be quite so flashy, you can always opt for a different paint color, like Mosaic Black Metallic, Summit White, Sterling Gray Metallic, or Harvest Bronze Metallic.
Choosing your favorite color for the exterior isn’t the only way that you can make your Equinox stand out from the crowd. You can also opt for a special edition package that adds unique accents and gives your SUV a cohesive look that’s sure to impress. Options vary across different trim levels, which means that there’s something for everyone, no matter what your budget is.
On the base LS trim, you can choose the Sport Edition or Midnight Edition. Both of these packages add a variety of black accents to the exterior, like 18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, an exclusive mold-in-color black grille, and eye-catching black Chevy bowtie emblems to replace the standard metallic badges. Both packages also feature body-color mirror caps that blend in with the body of the vehicle. The only difference between these two packages is that the Midnight Edition fully embraces the dark side, with a Mosaic Black Metallic exterior color that makes all of these black elements blend in for a rich, textured look. With the Sport Edition, the black accents will contrast with whichever exterior color you choose, making them pop.
You don’t need a special edition to make the RS trim unique because it has a sporty style of its own. It also features darker details, including gloss black side rails and window surrounds and a gloss black grille with a trim-exclusive mesh pattern. There are also special touches in the cabin, like Jet Black cloth or leather seats with red interior stitching and black ice chrome accents. On the top-tier Premier trim, you can get the Redline Edition, which features exclusive decals, black wheels with sporty red accents, a unique grille design, and black Equinox badges that are outlined in red.
