The Sedan SUV crossover market has seen its ups and downs over the last few years, with many vehicles underperforming thus resulting in a shrinking market. But when the 2021 Chevy Equinox was introduced, all of that changed. It proved to be the perfect family crossover with top-notch standard technology. It also delivered a driving experience that exceeded the expectations of drivers and critics. more Powertrain Options Chevy gives drivers the option of two very capable powertrain options that deliver different driving experiences. The standard four-cylinder engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter that delivers 170 horsepower. It's perfect for the leisurely driver who likes to cruise from one place to another and still feel a little bit of pep. The other engine option is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that ups the horsepower to 252 ponies. We recommend this option for drivers with a heavier foot. Excellent Versatility Whether you're fighting rush-hour traffic or making a go for it on the highway, the Equinox is a competent vehicle that performs well no matter what driving conditions lay ahead of you.

The Equinox also does well to isolate the cabin from outside noises like wind and its engine. This ensures a smooth and peaceful ride and more concentration on the road. Connectivity Is Key The modern world of connectivity has made it mandatory for drivers and passengers to stay online no matter where they are. Knowing this, Chevy installed all trim levels of the 2021 Equinox with an infotainment system that features both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Bluetooth and USB ports are also standard on all trims, which is a great bonus since these features typically cost extra on competing vehicles. Touchscreen and Voice Command All trim levels of the 2021 Equinox come standard with a seven-inch touchscreen that can control many of the vehicle's functions. The touchscreen is quite user-friendly as the controls are large and easy to distinguish. But Chevy didn't stop there. The Equinox also comes standard with a Voice Command feature, further adding to its tech-savvy cabin. Maximum Storage Capacity In a category where innovation seems sluggish at best, Chevy opens new doors, or in this case, cubby holes, and provides more places to store items without sacrificing passenger comfort.

The highly anticipated 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV will be unveiled next month in February 2021—the first all-electric General Motors SUV. more The Chevrolet Bolt has been a revelation for GM in the growing EV industry—even being recognized as the 2017 MotorTrend Car of the Year. While the compact hatchback is an ideal commuter for individuals and couples, it doesn’t quite possess the interior room and cargo volume that small families with children demand. Luckily, the vehicle is poised to grow in size for the 2022 model year in the form of an all-new Bolt “Electric Utility Vehicle” (EUV). While the hatchback model will carry over for 2022, the Bolt EUV will be nearly six inches longer with a three-inch longer wheelbase in comparison, according to MotorTrend. That will certainly equate to more room for second-row passengers and expanded cargo capabilities. SUVs certainly are in greater demand than hatchbacks, so the interest in the Bolt EUV is expected to be paramount—as there are very few all-electric SUVs currently on the market. Propulsion and Battery Range Though significantly larger than its hatchback predecessor, the new Bolt EUV will ride on the same BEV2 architecture and is expected to utilize a similar version of its battery electric powertrain. A 66 kWh lithium ion battery pack and electric motor rated at 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque powers the regular 2021 Bolt—which features a maximum EPA-rated range of 259 miles. Interestingly, a teaser photo released by GM showed the Bolt EUV’s digital cluster with 235 miles of range left with 80 percent battery charge remaining. That would equate to approximately a 280-mile range on a full charge. Interior, Technology, and Safety The most exciting new technology featured in the Bolt EUV is GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance system. The Bolt EUV will be the first Chevrolet vehicle to debut this technology—which first appeared on the Cadillac CT6 in 2017. The steering wheel will feature a light bar that illuminates different colors to indicate the status of Super Cruise to the driver. The colors green, red and blue are used to indicate when Super Cruise is available (green), when the driver is not paying attention (red) and when the driver takes over the wheel while Super Cruise is engaged (blue). The rest of the interior will likely mimic the nicer materials, more comfortable seats and the updated infotainment system found on the updated 2021 Chevrolet Bolt. The 2021 Bolt’s tablet-sized display screen features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and available 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity. The 2021 Bolt’s standard and available safety features are also expected to carry over, which include Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist, Rear Camera Mirror and HD Surround Vision. 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Pricing and Availability The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV will go into production in summer 2021.  Pricing has yet to be announced, but GM Authority expects it will start in the mid-$30,000 range.
