What transmission does the Equinox use?
2 Answers
The Equinox uses both 6-speed and 9-speed automatic manual transmissions. The Equinox is a model under SAIC-GM, featuring a new family-style front fascia design. The large chrome-plated front grille is connected on both sides to the LED-equipped headlight clusters, while the front bumper boasts rich lines and a sense of power, giving the front end a very stylish overall appearance. The Equinox is equipped with two turbocharged gasoline engines: a 1.5T and a 2.0T, with maximum output powers of 172 horsepower and 256 horsepower, and peak torques of 275 Nm and 352 Nm, respectively. The Equinox is expected to be equipped with features such as the MyLink system with a 7-inch or 8-inch screen, a panoramic camera, a forward collision warning system, low-speed automatic braking, lane keeping, one-button start, front seat heating and ventilation, and more.
I've been driving the Chevrolet Equinox for over two years now. This model comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission paired with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering exceptionally smooth daily driving experience. In stop-and-go city traffic, gear shifts are barely noticeable. Compared to the older 6-speed transmission, the 9-speed has closer gear ratios, reducing highway cruising fuel consumption to around 7L/100km - both fuel-efficient and quiet. Transmission fluid maintenance isn't complicated, typically requiring replacement every 60,000 km at a cost of a few hundred yuan, preventing early wear issues. If you're considering purchasing one, try different modes like Sport for quicker acceleration response. Overall, this powertrain combination balances economy and performance well, making it ideal for family commuting without major flaws.
