Used 2021 Chevy Equinox SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
Chevrolet offers the 2021 Equinox in four trim levels. The base L trim is available only by special order, which means you're most likely to choose from LS, LT, and Premier trims when shopping at your local Chevy dealership. For 2021, only one engine is available: a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder (170 horsepower, 203 lb-ft of torque) matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all but the L model can be equipped with all-wheel drive.
Which Equinox trim does Edmunds recommend?
If you are intent on purchasing a Chevy Equinox, we recommend the LT trim level. It represents the sweet spot in the Equinox lineup, providing the broadest array of standard and available features at the most reasonable price.
