The Equinox chassis is built on the GM D2UX platform, with a height of approximately 17cm when fully loaded and about 20cm when unloaded. The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle. It supports and installs the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the vehicle, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal operation. Here are some methods for chassis maintenance: 1. Regularly check the oil levels of each assembly: This includes the transmission, braking system, power steering system, etc. On one hand, strictly follow the time intervals specified in the manual to replenish or replace fluids at authorized service stations. On the other hand, perform regular self-checks. Generally, you can inspect these during refueling, checking whether the oil in each reservoir is between the upper and lower marks. If it falls below the lower mark, replenish it promptly. If the oil level drops rapidly, it indicates a system leak, which requires immediate identification and repair. 2. Replace worn brake pads promptly: Brake pads and clutch plates are consumables that wear out over time and lose their original functionality. Failure to replace them promptly can lead to accidents. Most vehicles have corresponding warning indicators that will alert the user when replacement is needed.

The Chevrolet Equinox utilizes General Motors' D2UX platform chassis, which is quite impressive—one of the most advanced architectures in its class. The lightweight design reduces the vehicle's weight by nearly 200 kilograms, making it notably agile and fuel-efficient. It incorporates a significant amount of high-strength steel, enhancing overall rigidity, which noticeably improves cornering support and stability during high-speed lane changes. This chassis also prioritizes safety performance, consistently achieving high scores in crash tests. On regular drives, the suspension effectively absorbs road imperfections—neither overly harsh over speed bumps nor rough patches. The all-wheel-drive version boasts well-balanced front-to-rear weight distribution, delivering handling dynamics that rival sedans.
