2022 Chevy Equinox Fuel-Saving Technologies

In large part, the Chevy Equinox mpg ratings are made possible by the engine, but this SUV is also chock-full of fuel-saving features to help you along the way:

  • Automatic Stop/Start: When you stop with your foot on the brake, the Chevy Equinox engine may shut off to conserve fuel. Removing your foot from the brake instantly restarts the engine. This can be a big fuel saver, especially if you spend a lot of time in stop-and-go traffic. You can also turn this feature off at will.
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Air pressure affects fuel economy positively or negatively. The Chevy Equinox comes standard with TPMS to alert you when a tire has too little or too much air pressure.
