About This 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT

The 2018 Equinox represents Chevrolet's full redesign of one of its most popular crossovers, and the LT trim sits right in the sweet spot — offering a generous suite of features without the premium price tag of higher trims. With 102,909 miles on the odometer, this Equinox is well into its stride.

It's the kind of SUV that families across the Los Angeles area rely on every single day.
 

2018 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, one of the highlights of the third-generation Equinox redesign. This engine delivers a strong balance of power and efficiency — rated at approximately 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, it pulls confidently in city traffic and on the freeway. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and front-wheel drive, this setup is ideal for Southern California driving conditions. You'll appreciate the fuel economy — expect around 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway — which goes a long way on LA's busy corridors.
 

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

The LT trim brings meaningful comfort and technology upgrades over the base LS. Expect features like Chevrolet's 7-inch MyLink infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a rearview camera, remote keyless entry, and cruise control as standard. Inside, the cabin is well-laid-out with supportive seating for up to five passengers, ample cargo space behind the rear seats, and a thoughtful layout of storage cubbies and charging points. The rear seats also fold flat to expand cargo capacity — a big plus for families or anyone who needs extra hauling room on weekends.

Safety tech on the LT includes available lane keep assist, forward collision alert, and rear park assist — features that are particularly valuable in stop-and-go traffic along the 710, the 105, or the 405.
 

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Equinox earned solid marks from both critics and owners during its release year. The third-generation redesign addressed many of the complaints about previous generations, bringing a lighter, more fuel-efficient platform and a more refined interior. Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, intuitive infotainment system, and the low cost of routine maintenance. Chevy's dealer network is extensive, meaning parts and service are easy to find throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

One thing to keep in mind with the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is that, like any modern turbo motor, keeping up with oil changes on schedule is important for long-term health. With consistent care, these engines are known to run well past 150,000 miles. At 102,909 miles, this Equinox has plenty of life left ahead of it.
