How does the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox perform in Utah winter snow?
The 2027 Equinox is exceptionally well-suited for Utah winters. When equipped with available All-Wheel Drive, power is automatically routed to the wheels with the best traction.

Front-Wheel Drive models pair the 1.5L Turbo engine with a smooth, efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) delivering 184 lb-ft of torque.
