Chevy Equinox Accessories & Parts

The Chevy Equinox holds the distinction of being the first crossover SUV produced by Chevy. Compact, with unibody construction, the first generation Equinox was built on GM's Theta platform, sharing it with with the GMC Terrain, Pontiac Torrent, and Saturn Vue. It premiered for the 2005 model year equipped with a 3.4L V6 engine capable of approximately 185 horsepower along with 210 pounds-per-foot of torque. Power is directed through a five-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive. However, all-wheel drive was also offered as an option. Inside, power windows, power locks, and a CD stereo were standard Equinox parts, while higher trim levels displayed heated leather seats, alloy wheels, a premium audio system, and other luxurious accessories. The model received praise right from the start, taking home the Auto Pacific Vehicle Satisfaction Award along with being named to the Edmunds.com Editor's Most Wanted List.

In 2008, Chevy unveiled the Equinox Sport, which featured a beefier 3.6L V6 engine good for 264 horsepower. It also showcased a six-speed automatic transmission and 18" wheels. Along with the Sport came the Equinox LTZ. The LTZ shows off a more luxurious image with such accessories as chrome wheels, door handles, and luggage rails. Inside, heated seats with leather inserts, a full stereo with CD/MP3 player, and side curtain airbags are standard. Also in 2008, the base Equinox was updated. OnStar GPS Turn-by-Turn navigation, Electronic Trailer Sway Control, StabiliTrak, ABS brakes, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and new exterior colors were added to the package. It wasn't long, however, before Chevy released the second-generation Equinox, which premiered at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. It is still derived from the Theta platform but this time shows off a 2.4L inline four-cylinder engine that is good for about 182 horsepower. A more powerful 3.0L V6, improved with the power-enhancing Chevy Equinox parts, that is rated at approximately 264 horsepower is also available. And as with the inaugural Chevy Equinox, both an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard with all-wheel drive being offered as an option.

The Chevy Equinox has enjoyed consistent success since its debut. It has received numerous awards from within the industry and has demonstrated solid sales figures. Beginning in the 2004 model year, the Chevy Equinox has averaged 95,270 models sold per year, ranking it towards the top of all domestic compact crossover SUVs. Boasting respectable performance, good cargo space, a quiet drive, top-quality underhood parts, and a smooth overall body shape, the Chevy Equinox is a strong competitor in the crossover segment and figures only to grow stronger.

The Chevy Equinox burst onto the scene and quickly gave every other crossover in its class a run for the money. That's because its comfortable performance in conjunction with a roomy yet practical interior layout separates it from the masses. There's enough pop and efficiency to get by on a rainy day if need be, but ultimately, it's the whole package why drivers have fallen in love with this sporty machine.
