Chevy Equinox’s Efficient Engine

Under the hood of the Chevy Equinox, you’ll find a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. This engine will pump out an impressive 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, delivered via the SUV’s 6-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain is also configured with an Automatic Stop/Start system, preventing the possibility for idling by shutting down the engine at sustained stops.

This efficient engine and corresponding engine set up equips the Equinox to earn impressive fuel economy figures. In fact, behind the wheel of the SUV you’ll be able to earn an EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway MPG.

Breaking Down the Equinox’s Dimensions and Its Effect on MPG

The Equinox comes ready to haul gear, which is no surprise given its class designation as an SUV. Behind the second row of seats, you’ll have 29.9 cubic feet of cargo volume at your disposal. Need more space? Fold down the second row and create up to 63.9 cubic feet of cargo volume. Either way, you’ll have plenty of room to store gear.

Whatever you have stowed away in the Equinox, you will want to make sure you remove it when you reach your destination. Each item you have stored will add weight to the vehicle; correspondingly, the SUV will have to work harder, burn more gas, and MPG will be affected. So, removing any unnecessary weight will help ensure your fuel economy is optimized.

Additional Ways To Maximize Equinox MPG

Aside from removing excess weight from your Equinox, there are some additional ways you can work towards achieving maximized fuel economy figures. For instance, driving smoothly promotes an even use of gas, helping boost MPG. In the same light, using cruise control, which comes standard on the Equinox, can also promote better fuel economy figures.

Some additional practices you can undertake to boost MPG include:

Avoiding rush hour
Planning your trips ahead of time
Keeping up with vehicle service and maintenance (i.e. oil changes)

Another way to ensure your Miles Per Gallon are maximized is by checking your tire pressure levels. Fortunately, the Equinox makes monitoring your tire pressure levels easy via its standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
