Keep Your Family Safe With the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox

  Driving around in the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox will make you feel safe while enjoying the comforts of a family car. From the backup camera technology to other safety features and its versatility, this spacious compact SUV gives you plenty to love.   

Take Advantage of the Latest Backup Camera Technology

  The idea of backup cameras in cars has been around for a while. However, it wasn’t until 2002 that the first RearView Monitor backup camera system appeared. Now, nearly all modern cars come standard with this feature, including the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox.    Backup cameras have become essential, and for good reason. After all, the design of cars blocks part of your view behind it. It gets even worse if there are passengers in the back seat or you have a lot of cargo.    Using backup cameras protects people and animals, as well as property, from accidentally being run over. With this safety tech, drivers have a way of dealing with people who can’t or don’t know how to get out of the way, such as the very young and elderly.    Other Safety Features on the Equinox   Driving the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox gives you access to an abundance of safety features. You get the Chevy Safety Assist as standard.    This suite of driver assistance features includes:   
  • Forward collision alert 
  • IntelliBeam and auto high beam assist 
  • Front pedestrian braking 
  • Automatic emergency braking 
  • Lane keep assist with lane departure warning
  • Following distance indicator 
  Tech at Your Fingertips   Not only will you be safe behind the wheel of the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox, but you will also have access to the latest technology. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard, making it easy to connect your smartphone. The Equinox even comes with Amazon Alexa built into your vehicle. This is a first-time offering and makes it easy to connect your life. You can even link Alexa in your SUV to your smart home devices.    Don’t Worry About Stopping at the Gas Station   As you drive the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox around town, you will notice that you don’t have to stop at the gas station frequently. This comes from the EPA-estimated 31 mpg on the highway and similarly impressive ratings for city driving. The secret is the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that is powerful yet efficient.    You don’t have to worry about getting enough traction in the cold winter months, either. Just choose an Equinox trim with available all-wheel drive, and you will be set.    Take Everything or Everyone With You   You don’t have to pick and choose what or who to bring with you in the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. The rear seats split 60/40 and fold down, giving you up to 63.9 cubic feet for cargo. On top of that, you can keep valuables safe with hidden storage under the rear cargo floor.    Check Out the Equinox’s Backup Camera on a Test-drive   Get a feel for how easy to use and helpful the backup camera in the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox is on a test drive. Visit Baum Chevrolet Buick in Clinton, IL, to get behind the wheel of this amazing SUV.

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Gives You a Clear View of the Road

If you are looking for a family-friendly SUV, then the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe likely makes your list. With three rows of seats, this SUV can fit the whole family. It also has smart features, like rain-sensing wipers, that will help you appreciate the little things in life. Rain-sensing Wipers Help You See the Road If you happen to visit Baum Chevrolet Buick while it’s raining, you will get to check out the rain-sensing wipers in the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe on your test-drive. Whether or not you get to try them out before buying the Tahoe, the technology behind the wipers is worth learning more about. Automakers have tried to create rain-sensing wiper systems for years with limited success. Today, however, companies like Chevrolet are using systems that deliver results. These typically rely on optical sensors to detect moisture. Many systems will mount the sensor, so it is by the rearview mirror and touches the inside of your windshield. The sensor then emits infrared light at a 45-degree angle and evaluates what happens. If the light reflects back to the sensor, the windshield is dry or nearly dry. If less light reaches the sensor, it is raining. Using optical sensors like this adds even more functionality to rain-sensing wipers. In addition to turning on and off by themselves, this technology lets them adjust their speed based on how quickly the moisture accumulates. A convenient touch will turn off the system, such as when washing your Tahoe. Handling for All Driving Conditions Even with the extreme seasons in Illinois, you won’t have to worry about whether your 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is up to the challenge. That is particularly true when you choose to add Magnetic Ride Control to the standard independent rear suspension. For an even smoother experience, opt for the first-in-class Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. Performance to Match The performance behind the Tahoe matches its unique suspension, which is the most advanced in its class. You can choose from two V8 engines, letting you find the perfect balance of efficiency and power. Attention to Detail Inside the Cabin No matter how far you drive in the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, you will appreciate the attention to detail that Chevrolet put into the SUV. The reimagined cabin feels even more spacious than before. There are also unique features, including a Power Sliding Center Console that helps you make the most of the space. Slide it back as far as 10 inches, creating a hidden storage spot perfect for valuables. The interior of the Tahoe is as versatile, if not more versatile, than ever before. You can make use of up to 122.9 cubic feet for cargo, the best-in-class figure. Or keep all of the seats upright and let your third-row passengers enjoy 40 percent more legroom than they did in the previous generation.
