An SUV with four-wheel drive (4WD) makes all the difference when you need reliable traction and control for challenging road conditions. If you're considering a new Chevy Equinox, you may be wondering if this popular crossover SUV offers a 4WD? Here's what you need to know.
Understanding 4WD in the Chevy Equinox
Four-wheel drive, or 4WD, is a drivetrain system that simultaneously sends power to all four of a vehicle's wheels. This provides maximum traction on slippery or uneven surfaces. 4WD is beneficial for navigating snowy, icy, or muddy roads, as well as light off-roading on trails or rough terrain.
The Chevy Equinox has a switchable all-wheel drive (AWD) system on most trims. AWD operates similarly to 4WD, sending power to all four wheels. However, it typically cannot be locked into a 4WD mode and may not be as robust for heavy-duty off-roading. Still, AWD delivers excellent all-weather confidence for your everyday drives around Selma.
Equinox Trims with Available AWD
There are several great options if you're interested in an Equinox with an all-wheel drive for your adventures near Fresno. You can get the Chevy Equinox LS, LT, RS, and Premier trims with an AWD for greater control.
Choosing an Equinox with AWD is smart for Hanford-area drivers who want added peace of mind in inclement weather and varying road conditions. Plus, the Chevy Equinox model's AWD system works seamlessly with standard features like StabiliTrak electronic stability control to optimize traction and handling.
