Parkway Chevrolet recognizes the 2014
Chevy Equinox as more than just a crossover, and as more than just a way to
offer 32 MPG on the highway without compromising comfort and space. And it’s
more than just a way to stay connected to your calls, music and more without
taking your hands off the wheel. The 2014
Equinox is more than all this, because it offers all this. And that’s only
the beginning.
Equinox
designers and engineers set out to create an uncompromising design that not
only turns heads, but also helps reduce wind drag and boost efficiency.
Sculpted lines and exterior accents add style to the equation and support
impressive fuel economy: 22 MPG city/32 highway. From the distinctly contoured
roofline and multidimensional hood to the sophisticated wraparound headlamps
and available chrome accents, Equinox
offers design that intrigues from front to rear, inside and out. Choose from
standard 17-inch aluminum wheels (LS, LT), 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels
(standard on LTZ) or 19-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels (LTZ V6).
From
carpools and family outings to shopping and sporting events, Equinox
is well equipped to handle life’s journeys – and whatever you decide to bring
with you. With available Roof Rack Side Rails smartly integrated into the roof,
it’s easy to add center rails and dealer-installed accessories. So you can
carry everything from bikes to boards to skis. This is a vehicle that will
allow you to haul the kitchen sink down Sam Houston Toll-way. The Programmable Power
Lift Gate is available for easy loading and unloading, you can open the lift
gate 3/4 of the way or to the max, or customize how far it opens to clear your
garage door. With 63.7 Cubic ft. of maximum cargo space, the convenient 60/40
split-folding rear seat lets you easily make room for groceries, camping gear,
flowers and mulch – you name it. With the available dealer-installed trailer
hitch, standard Trailer Sway Control and standard Hill Start Assist, you can
pull your camper or recreational vehicles with confidence.
Togetherness
should never come at the expense of personal space. And it never will in Equinox.
Every inch of the interior is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Conveniences
include several storage bins, four 12-volt power outlets and eight cup holders.
The covered storage under the center armrest is big enough to hold a laptop.
Slide it back to add almost 8 inches of rear leg room, slide it forward to add
8 inches of cargo room, or fold it flat to create 63.7 cubic feet of maximum
cargo space. Adjustments include lumbar support and vertical height, so the
driver and front passenger can find just the right position. The standard 2.4L
DOHC 4-Cylinder engine, offers an impressive EPA-estimated 22 MPG city/32
highway along with an Eco button you can press to maximize efficiency on the
fly. The available 3.6L v6 engine is known for delivering best-in-class 301
horsepower and 272 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine gives you the power to go
0–60 in 6.7 seconds or tow up to 3,500 lbs., when properly equipped. No matter
which engine you choose, this electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission
provides exceptional refinement and responsiveness.
Chevrolet
is the first auto manufacturer to bring Siri Eyes Free on the iPhone® 4s and
iPhone 5 along for the ride. With this feature, you can ask Siri to read text
messages and notifications aloud, compose text messages, find and add calendar
entries, use maps to get directions, and so much more — without taking your
hands off the wheel. Simply pair your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone with
Chevrolet MyLink for the convenience of hands-free calling. You can even scroll
through your contacts or recent calls on the 7-inch diagonal touch-screen. This
comes in handy when stuck in Houston traffic.
Chevrolet
MyLink lets you play music stored on your compatible smartphone or stream it
from apps such as Pandora® Internet Radio. Gracenote® will organize your music
library and populate song information and album art. While using voice or touch
controls, you can set destinations, choose your map view or activate
turn-by-turn directions. Combining dual front seatback-mounted monitors with
wireless headphones, this system helps the kids stay entertained while you
enjoy the silence.
Let’s
face it, life isn’t always predictable. Especially on the road. That’s why Equinox
offers an array of advanced safety features to help protect against the
unexpected.
-A. Available Forward Collision Alert: This feature
monitors your proximity to the vehicle in front of you and alerts you to any
potential front-end crash risk, so you have time to stop and/or change course.
-B. Available Lane Departure Warning: If you
unintentionally drift out of your lane without signaling, this feature provides
a visual and audible alert.
-C. OnStar RemoteLink Mobile App: With this app, you
can remotely lock and unlock your Equinox and even start your engine from your
smartphone. You can also view real-time vehicle diagnostics including fuel
level, remaining oil life and tire pressure. And now you can send directions
from your phone to your Equinox with just a few simple steps.
-D. Available Rear Vision Camera: An image of what’s
behind your Equinox is displayed onto the 7-inch diagonal color touch-screen
display, so you can watch your back while looking forward. Available Rear Park
Assist also helps you back up safely by sounding an audible alert when it
detects certain stationary objects up to eight feet behind your Equinox.
-E. Standard 4-Wheel Antilock Disc Brakes: These
brakes help maintain steering control by reducing wheel lockup during hard
braking on most slippery surfaces. Equinox also includes an advanced Electronic
Brake Force distribution system that helps balance brake force between the
front and rear brakes under heavy braking.
-F. StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System:
This system improves vehicle stability on most road surfaces, especially during
emergency maneuvers and difficult driving conditions.
-G. Six Standard Air Bags: Should a moderate to
severe collision occur, sensors determine which of the six air bags (including
head-curtain side-impact air bags) to deploy to minimize impact. Front safety
belt pretensioners also respond while the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tethers
for Children) system helps keep child safety seats secure.
-H. OnStar Automatic Crash Response: In many crashes,
built-in sensors in your Equinox can automatically alert an OnStar® Advisor who
is immediately connected into your vehicle and can use GPS technology to
pinpoint your exact location and request immediate assistance, even if you
can’t respond.
The 2014
Chevrolet Equinox is an amazing vehicle that is built to help you tackle
any of life’s challenges. This allows you to keep your focus on being effective
and not on the challenges of transportation. The associates at Parkway Chevrolet are focused on
passing this quality guarantee on to you, the consumer. If you have any
