Despite this, the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox offers better value.
The Chevrolet Equinox facelift was unveiled last year at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show, where it debuted with sportier styling inspired by the Blazer and Camaro. Originally, the refreshed Equinox was going to launch for the 2021 model year, but factory shutdowns caused by the pandemic forced Chevrolet to delay the launch until the 2022 model year.
As a result, the 2020 model was carried over to 2021. Over a year after its debut, the Equinox will finally arrive in US dealers in Q3 this year. Before then, Chevrolet has announced the all-important pricing details, confirming that the 2022 model will have a higher entry cost.
GMC Terrain owners are affected, too.
We ve long known that listening to loud music is bad for your hearing. It doesn t matter whether you re using headphones or listening to the stereo in your home or car. Loud is loud. And if you re the owner of a 2018-2021 model year Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, then you should be aware of a new technical service bulletin (TSB) from General Motors first noticed by GM Authority.
The problem involves the crossovers power window motor losing memory because of intense speaker vibration. More specifically, the front windows could lower by approximately one-quarter of an inch or more if the audio system is too loud or is playing music with heavy bass.

The new RS trim can t come fast enough.
Last spring we learned the 2021 Chevy Equinox refresh is being delayed until the 2022 model year due to complications associated with the pandemic. The refreshed Traverse and Silverado have also been pushed back by a model year for the same reason. However, it s the Equinox that s currently experiencing a troubling sign.
According to GM Authority, company sources have confirmed national inventory for the 2021 Equinox is currently running at a 71-day supply. Now, compared to the Blazer s reported 28-day, this much higher number is good news, right? No. Ideally, automakers want to maintain no more than a 60-day supply. Anything less indicates production can t keep up with demand, as in the case of the Blazer and, prior to that, the Trailblazer. Above 60 days, however, is problematic because it s indicative of oversupply, low demand, or a combination of both.
