2 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Equinox 1.5T model is 10.2 seconds; for the 2.0T model, it is 7.8 seconds. The Equinox is a midsize SUV under the Chevrolet brand, equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The Equinox measures 4646mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1684mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2725mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV featuring a 6-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. The steering assistance type is electric power steering.
I've been driving the Equinox for daily commuting for quite a while. The acceleration feels quite steady, with 0-100 km/h typically taking between 8 to 9 seconds, depending on whether you have the 1.5T or 2.0T model. Mine is the 1.5T version - the start isn't particularly aggressive but it's sufficient, and highway overtaking isn't an issue. If you opt for the 2.0T version, it's a bit quicker, around just over 7 seconds. Personally, I pay more attention to fuel consumption and safety in daily driving. This car averages about 8 liters per 100 km, and it's not strenuous in city driving. I'd recommend new owners try different driving modes - the Eco mode provides a gentler start, which is easier on the tires and brake pads, especially useful on slippery roads during rainy days when you shouldn't stomp on the accelerator. After all, for a family SUV, practicality comes first over sheer speed.
