Known and loved for its affordability and reliability, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox continues the tradition of excellence started in 2005 when the first generation Equinox was released. And while not much has changed from 2023 to 2024, the Chevrolet Equinox’s engine is as efficient as ever and drives the performance that earned it J.D. Power’s Best Compact SUV in 2024.
Here, we’ll talk about the Chevrolet Equinox’s engine, fuel efficiency, and other specs that you’ll want to know before taking your new Equinox on its first Schaumburg drive.
Across all four of its available trims, the Chevrolet Equinox is powered by the 1.5L Turbo, 4-cylinder engine. It’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, though you can choose between a FWD and AWD drivetrain:

Since the Chevrolet Equinox engine is the same across trims, the only factor that changes fuel efficiency is the drivetrain. When it comes to the Chevrolet Equinox’s mpg rating then, you should expect slightly reduced mileage for the AWD version compared to the FWD one:
Given the slight differences in mileage and fuel-tank capacity between the FWD and AWD drivetrains, you should also expect a slight difference in total range.
Though, when we say slight, we mean it – the EPA range estimates for the FWD and AWD Equinox are very similar, so we leave it to you to decide if the trade-off with your Chevrolet Equinox mpg rating is worth the extra control and stability provided by an AWD system:
In terms of mileage and range, then, it seems to us that regardless of which drivetrain you choose, your Equinox will make it easy for you to get to and from Streamwood with minimal refueling stops. Wins all around!
