    NEXT-GEN 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX STARTS AT $24,475

    • Crossover offers customers the perfect blend of design, technology and value

    DETROIT — Chevrolet announced today that pricing for the next-generation 2018 Equinox will start at $24,475 when it goes on sale this spring. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price includes the destination charge but excludes tax, title and additional dealer fees.

    Equinox offers a fresh, new design and technologies to help keep passengers comfortable and connected on the road.

    “In a word, crossover customers want one thing: everything. From comfort and connectivity to efficient performance and safety, the all-new 2018 Chevrolet Equinox delivers on all counts,” said Steve Majoros, director of marketing, Chevrolet Cars and Crossovers.

    The 2018 Equinox will offer three turbocharged engines — including the segment’s first turbo-diesel — providing customers more choices when it comes to performance, efficiency and capability.

    The standard 1.5L engine will be available at launch, with the 2.0L Turbo and diesel options available in the second quarter of 2017. The 2.0L engine will be coupled to GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission, offering an exciting driving experience with more horsepower and torque.

    The 2018 Equinox will be available in L, LS, LT and Premier trim levels, in FWD or AWD combinations.

    Chevrolet’s connectivity technologies include a standard 7- and an available 8-inch-diagonal color touchscreen with MyLink infotainment designed to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an available OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.*

    The new Equinox offers an expanded range of active safety features:

    • New Safety Alert Seat
    • New Surround Vision
    • New Forward Collision Alert with Following Distance Indicator
    • New Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking
    • New Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
    • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert  
    • Rear Cross Traffic Alert

    Rear Seat Reminder and Teen Driver are also offered. Rear Seat Reminder can provide an alert when the rear doors are used during or just before a trip, prompting you to double-check for valuables left in the back seat when you exit the vehicle. Teen Driver allows parents to monitor driving habits and facilitates discussions to help encourage better driving habits, even when parents are not in the vehicle.

    It seems like GM is re-engineering their MSRP structure.  A few munts back, all the Camaros at the local dealership were getting their window stickers replaced to show a $500 base price reduction.  That is different than a rebate.

     

    If I go into the inventory section of Chevy's site right now and look at local Trax inventory, there is a section there describing a "factory reduction in MSRP" of about $1100 in addition to a discount that reads as more temporary.  So that $29k Trax Premiere AWD is now $27k and change.  This is a necessary market correction, in my opinion, v. the competition.

    • GM stated a few years back that they were all in on EVs and would prove that by bringing to market a number of EVs that would meet the needs of the retail market. Chevrolet started with the Silverado EV RST edition, delivering an estimated 440 miles of range on a full charge with 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque with a 0-60 mph time of less than 4.5 seconds, DC fast charging up to 350kW and a 10,000 pounds of trailering with 1,500 pounds of payload. The Silverado RST was a fully loaded truck that has many features and yet Chevrolet also stated that two other modules would also be available by the end of 2024, 4WT with a 450-mile range, 3WT with 393-mile range, and a Trail Boss edition. Full details could be viewed here: The First-Ever Silverado EV | Electric Truck | Chevrolet WT EV Truck Trail Boss EV truck GMC was soon to follow with their Sierra EV Denali pickup 1st Edition that delivered 460 miles of range with 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque with the same 0-60 mph time, charging, hauling and trailering specifications.
