The Equinox has a great interior with plenty of standard features, which makes it hard to choose between trims. Our trim comparison can help with that, however. Let’s take a look at the different trim levels and what you are getting for your money!

LS

The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox LS is the base trim and starts at $26,600. Standard offerings for this trim are front-wheel drive and a 1.5 turbo engine that’s capable of 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. What makes the Equinox exceptional is the fact that it comes with Chevrolet MyLink, which includes Bluetooth streaming audio, voice-activated technology, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

If you’re worried about safety, the Equinox L comes with a few basic features that make all the difference, including rear vision camera and StabiliTrak. This electronic stability control system helps you during low-traction conditions. Additionally, it has Teen Driver mode to keep your kids distraction-free when you aren’t around. New safety features have been the standard since the 2020 model – they include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist. Finally, it comes with a host of OnStar features including Crisis Assist, emergency services, hands-free calling, stolen vehicle assistance, and other assistance features.

New for 2023 is the Driver Confidence II package that adds rear parking sensors, in addition to separate options for adding blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Also new is the LS Convenience package which adds an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a two-way power-adjustable lumbar support, as well a 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster and tinted rear glass.
