SUVs often are highly considered because of its bulky, manly, and strong design. It boasts of sheer power because of its massive build, desired by tough men and women to further their strong appeal and demeanor. Unfortunately, massive translates to heavy which then results in higher fuel consumption and less speed. However, this is not the case for 2018 Chevrolet Equinox!
According to Car and Driver, the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox boasts of its 400-pound reduction in weight. The total weight loss indicates a slightly smaller footprint that would make it at par with competitors such as Honda CR-V and Ford Escape.
The basis for the weight loss is General Motor's D2U architecture. The new architecture aims to allow for a low cowl and correspondingly low-mounted instrument panel ultimately for more improved visibility. Lighter total vehicle weight also doesn't put too much stress on its engines which means more power and considerably less fuel consumption.
The interior of 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is sure to be an envy of its competition. The new denim style fabric boasts of its durability. Well, the masculine and fashion forward men and women will also be drawn into its Levis-like appeal and design something that has not been done before.
