General Motors has launching the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox,
which debuts in six trim levels and a pricing range set between RMB 174,900 and
RMB 249,900 (US$ 25,355-36,225).
It looks identical to the North American version,
benefiting from the same front fascia that adopts Chevy's signature dual-port
grille, silver wing-shaped roof rack, and dual five-spoke aluminum alloy
wheels.
The company hasn’t released any images of the
interior yet, but says that leather, 8-inch touchscreen display, panoramic
sunroof, and others, are part of the package, and add up to the long list of
standard features that include start/stop system, keyless entry, push-button
start, Bluetooth, USB, Active Noise Cancelation and active grille shutters.
Chevrolet's 2018 Equinox aimed at the People's
Republic also gets Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward Collision Alert, and other
advanced safety systems. Buyers will get
to choose between the 1.5-liter turbo, rated at 177 hp and 275 Nm of
torque, mated with the six-speed DSS transmission, and the 2.0-liter
twin-scroll direct-injected turbocharged unit, delivering 256 hp and 353 Nm of torque, which comes with GM's 9-speed auto, a first for the Chinese
market.
