Are you currently shopping for or have you been thinking about getting into a newer SUV? Well if you live in Dubuque or the Tri-State vicinity, there’s a sport utility you should definitely consider … of course I’m talking about a used Chevy Equinox.  

This mid-size SUV has been one of Runde Auto Group’s best-selling vehicles for many years now and there are a lot of good reasons for it. 

The Equinox is an all-around vehicle that’s built to provide extreme comfort during routine daily driving. If it were an Olympic athlete instead of a vehicle, it would likely compete in either the decathlon or in the gymnastics all-around competition simply because it can do a lot of things and do them all well.  And with all-wheel-drive available as an option, there’s virtually nowhere you can’t go when you’re driving an Equinox.

Here are just a few of the things a Used Chevy Equinox does with ease:  

• If you want to haul any cargo, just fold down the back seat and you’ll have more than enough space to haul most purchases from Walmart or Target.
• It’s a vehicle that’s got gobs of style, class, and performance all rolled into one.
• It can provide a quiet comfortable ride. If you’re a new parent, just put your baby in a car seat in the 2nd row and go for a drive. Within a few minutes, even a crying/screaming baby will be transformed into a soundly sleeping cherub.  
• The latest Chevy Equinox model provides excellent gas mileage, making it a cost-effective choice whether you drive 2 minutes or 2 hours to get to work.
• The Equinox makes maneuvering around town easier as most late model versions are now equipped with a backup camera and rear parking sensors that make parking in tight places a snap.
• And you know what? It’s a vehicle that’s going to turn heads as passersby see it parked and standing tall in your driveway.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking “Hey, it’s just a mid-size SUV. What’s the big deal?”   Well, good question.  Maybe what really sets the Equinox apart is the interior. It’s got a spacious and well-appointed cabin that’s designed with comfort and convenience in mind. The front and rear seats are comfortable and supportive, and there’s definitely plenty of room for both passengers and cargo.

But the Equinox isn’t just about style and performance. It’s also about technology and safety. It’s got a standard infotainment system that includes a center touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker audio system. And it can also be equipped with several driver assistance/safety features, including lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.

Why should you consider the Equinox over other mid-size SUVs like the Ford Escape or the Jeep Cherokee?”  Well, GM engineers definitely designed it to reflect what buyers want in terms of safety, performance and looks. 

1. They aimed to ensure that Equinox meets all safety regulations and standards, and that it includes advanced safety features to protect passengers in the event of a crash.
2. They focused on performance, namely the latest version of the Equinox is equipped with a 1.5 liter turbocharged engine that produces upwards of 170 horsepower. That’s some serious power folks and it’ll give you more than enough get-up-and-go to be able to pass a vehicle quickly on the highway.
3. They wanted to provide drivers/owners with a good-looking vehicle so they designed the car with a sleek exterior design that exudes a sense of sophistication and elegance.

Basically, it’s a ride that’s got everything you need and nothing you don’t. It’s got style, performance, and technology all rolled into one. And you know what?  The Chevy Equinox will give you a lot of bang for your buck.
