Two Chevrolet Equinox SUVs for Life in Cold Spring 

Cold Spring, MN asks a lot from an SUV. Winter brings snow and slippery roads, while the rest of the year demands space for family, cargo, commuting, and weekends away. Chevrolet offers two distinctly different solutions: the Equinox with Turbocharged gas power and available AWD, and the Equinox EV with up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range. 

The Equinox Gets the Important Things Right 

The Chevrolet Equinox seats 5 and provides 29.8 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 63.5 cu. ft. when they’re folded. Hidden storage beneath the cargo floor adds useful space for smaller items, while an available AutoSense Power Liftgate simplifies loading. Its 1.5L Turbocharged engine produces 175 hp and 203 lbs. ft. of torque. Available AWD is particularly useful for Minnesota winters, and properly equipped AWD models can tow up to 1,500 lbs. 

Three Trims With Three Different Characters 

The Equinox lineup consists of LT, ACTIV, and RS. LT covers the essentials with the comfort, technology, and safety equipment most drivers need. ACTIV is more specialized, adding all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension for rougher surfaces. Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces distinguish the interior, while an available contrasting white roof gives it a suitably different appearance. RS takes a more road-focused approach with sportier styling. This isn’t simply a trim hierarchy; each version gives Cold Spring drivers a slightly different interpretation of the Equinox. 

Then There’s the Equinox EV 

The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a separate electric SUV rather than a gas Equinox converted to battery power. Its FWD configuration provides up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, while maximum cargo capacity reaches 57.2 cu. ft. DC fast charging supports rates up to 150 kW, with Chevrolet estimating approximately 77 miles of range can be added in 10 minutes under appropriate conditions. Level 2 charging makes overnight home charging practical for daily use. Available dual-motor AWD also gives Minnesota drivers an electric option with additional traction. 

Technology Without Making Life Complicated 

The Equinox features an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Available wireless phone charging and a new available Interior Camera add further convenience. The Equinox EV uses a much larger 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen. Available Super Cruise® adds compatible hands-free driver assistance for longer journeys on supported roads. 

Which Equinox Belongs in Your Driveway? 

The Equinox is the conventional choice, combining 175 hp, available AWD, up to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo capacity, and the ease of a gas powertrain. The Equinox EV takes a different route with up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, available AWD, and home and DC fast-charging capability.
