Chevy Equinox Exterior

There is one update right off the bat, and that’s this new midnight blue metallic paint color. Which, you can notice, is a very dark shade of blue. Other than that, the front design does carry over unchanged this year. For the premiere, you have this full chrome-finished grille, and on the other trims, you have black bars with just the crumbs around.

The other significant premiere difference are these full LED headlights as opposed to the HIDs on the 2020 Chevy Equinox LT and the halogens on all the rest in a separate housing down below you have the turn signal and for the premiere only the halogen fog lights. The rest of the styling continues with the same look for 2020 with the signature elements like the wraparound rear window.

These taillights also have the same design across all of the trims except for the LED elements that are premiered exclusively. Then finally, at the bottom, you have a single hidden exhaust outlet unless you go for the more powerful 2-liter turbo model. All in all, the 2020 Chevy Equinox has a conservative design that looks handsome and will continue to age very gracefully.

The most significant change is the fact that these 18-inch wheels on the premier now do without the black contrast inserts from last year, which does now give them a more subdued look. There are also some optional 19-inch wheels on this 1.5-liter model or standard on the 2-liter model.

All models, however, do get heating, and now that brings us to probably the most significant change for 2020, and that’s that most of the advanced safety systems are now standard across the entire Equinox line up instead of just being optional on the premier.

That means that even the base 2020 Chevy Equinox LS comes with forwarding emergency braking with pedestrian detection Lane Keeping Assist and Auto high beam headlights. Then the premiere also has the option of adding adaptive cruise control. This is definitely a great addition to the lineup, especially since the base price has not changed.

That doesn’t mean you’ll continue to be presented with these same color options and materials as last year. So, for your 2020 Chevy Equinox L and 2020 Chevy Equinox LS, that’s going to be a cloth seat in the medium.
