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.
