Under the hood, you will find an efficient and effective engine that allows the Equinox to perform in premium fashion. Here, you’ll find a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.

This power and force are seamlessly distributed via a 6-speed automatic transmission that promotes efficient gear shifting. Pair this transmission with an Automatic Stop/Start system which works to preserve fuel by shutting down the engine when idling, and you have a highly efficient SUV. Taking a look at the exact figures, you’ll be able to earn an impressive EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway MPG.

So, how can you optimize this fuel efficiency? Read on to see!

How To Maximize MPG

While the Equinox comes ready to earn highly efficient fuel economy figures, as evidenced above, there are some things you can do to maximize MPG further. For instance, using cruise control can help promote an even driving experience that evenly disperses gas. Fortunately, the Equinox comes standard with Cruise Control, so you’ll be able to utilize this feature.

Typically, avoiding rush hour is another way to save fuel for your vehicle. Though, the Equinox also offers an available Adaptive Cruise Control system that allows you to use cruise control in congested areas, as well. This will help you navigate rush hour traffic with ease and efficiency, again promoting a smooth driving experience.

Other ways you can maximize fuel economy include:

• Planning trips ahead of time
• Avoiding idling
• Avoiding cold engine operation

A Note About Space and MPG…

Now, as an SUV, the Equinox, of course, comes with adequate space for storage. 29.9 cubic feet of cargo volume, to be exact. So, you will have plenty of storage room at your disposal.

While this is the case, you will want to make sure you remove any gear, luggage, shopping bags, etc., you have stored in the cabin once you reach your destination. Items like these add weight to the vehicle, making the SUV work harder, burning more fuel in the process. So, if you want to maximize MPG, you will want to remove any unnecessary items from your cabin when able to.
