It’s one thing to call something a “family vehicle,” but it’s another to prove it. The Chevrolet Equinox was named to the Cars.com 2020 Car Seat Check Honor Roll, which recognizes it as being one of the best new cars for car seats! PLUS, it was awarded a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That means it makes parents’ jobs easier and keeps kids safer – exactly what a family vehicle should do. The ever-popular SUV seats up to five people and gets 31 miles per gallon highway (26 mpg city). It has available all-wheel drive for those Midwest winters and tons of safety options, including: • Standard rear-vision camera • Available adaptive cruise control • Available rear cross [...]

The first all-new 2018 Chevrolet Equinox has rolled onto the Runde Chevrolet lot! The redesigned vehicle features a new look, with sleeker headlights and chrome trim on all models, as well as improved efficiency and technology.  Dubuque Chevrolet customers are really going to like this new body style. “Customers who previewed the vehicle early on had a strong emotional response to the sleek and sophisticated exterior design,” said John Cafaro, executive director of General Motors Design, in a press release. “Those same themes are carried through to the interior, making the space beautifully intuitive.” The 2018 Equinox gives you plenty of choices for performance, efficiency, and capability, with a choice between three engines: 1.5L turbo, 2.0L turbo — matched with GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission — or a 1.6L turbo-diesel.

Kennedy Road in Dubuque, you probably recognize her as she’s worked there for several years now. Her new front wheel drive Chevrolet Equinox was ready and waiting for her with a red bow on the hood.

John Riley, who manages our Chevy Sales Department, received the following email message from the husband of Kathie Thor this week.  Hi John: Here’s a few photos for your scrap book. Thanks for all your help with Kathie’s Christmas Surprise. She had no idea I had made a deal with you for a new vehicle. There was a lot of excitement at the Thor household Christmas morning. Thanks again, Randy Randy Thor of Cuba City, WI surprised his better half, Kathie Thor, with a sophisticated new set of wheels.  He grabbed some quick photos of Kathie beside her new ride (my guess is that he didn’t have to ask her to smile).  Kathie was completely caught off guard by the new Chevy Equinox that was waiting for her at home and the Thor’s had a very Merry X-Mas.  [...]

RAC: Where are you going to college? ML: Western Illinois University — It’s about two and a half hours away. RAC: And do you have your own car? ML: Yeah, a 2000 Cavalier Z24.
