Motor1.com Delivers Scoops on Chevy Equinox Spy Shots Revealing Exciting Updates

When customers begin to get curious and ask us questions here at O'Rielly Chevy regarding the details of vehicles that are slated for release in the coming days, spy shots are one of the best assets we have to clue us in on the particulars. Even though the cars are usually covered up to hide the most obvious traits revealing new features and updates, they can serve the purpose of giving us an idea of what to expect at first glance, and how they behave while making their way down the road in everyday traffic.

When we get the notifications that our inboxes have received new messages, we always get a bit excited when any of them may lead to photos that show us what the cars of the future will look like! Manufacturers go to great lengths to keep their prototypes secret, and until reveals at large car shows take place, these are the avenues where you can begin to imagine just how cool the next year's fleet will be. New spy shots we got our hands on shown here suggest that an updated Chevy Equinox will soon be on the way, with two different test models seen at GM's Milford Proving Grounds.

Both of them have similar amounts of camouflage at the front and rear, and with the center section uncovered, many think that Chevy's engineers are preparing a thorough model refresh as opposed to a completely new generation. The Equinox with the uncovered center appears to have a more aggressive and lower front fascia than the crossover in full camo, and the partially hidden model sports different wheels. Both appear to have the same placeholder pieces for the headlights, and one test mule has dual exhausts at each corner, rather than the concealed outlets or pair of trapezoidal finishers the current model features.

We now speculate that the engine range for the Equinox would remain the same, but the engineers may be hard at work trying to tweak the outputs a bit. The nine-speed gearbox found in the Blazer could also be used, and the latest infotainment, as well as safety tech, will likely be on board to assure the Equinox keeps up with the constantly-changing crossover category. Many reviews on Cars.com dole out the praise for their current-year models: the stellar highway mileage, convenient additional storage under the rear floor, and dual temperature zones are among the favored features that new owners are raving about.

This is the perfect-for-the-times crossover that brandishes pep off the line that people can't believe derives from a 4-cylinder, and one that new owners can't wait to embark on a long trip with! “Sher” from Carlisle, OH claimed that she had “never owned a vehicle with this many features,” and that owning an Equinox completely re-defined and made overly fun even the most routine of errands!
