The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox was entirely redesigned this year and a few interesting features were added, like the Teen Driver system which activates safety technology when your teen takes the wheel. This includes muting the radio until the front-seat occupants have buckled their seat belts. Powertrains include an optional turbo-diesel engine and available all-wheel drive.
