With its stylish new exterior and opulent interior, the 2022 Equinox Premier trim model lets everyone know you’ve arrived. This compact crossover also brings the heat, with a turbocharged powertrain and sporty performance options, including all-wheel drive.
Why choose the 2022 Equinox Premier trim?
Cruise home in the new Equinox Premier because you want a sporty compact crossover with all the trimmings. Like other Equinox models, the Premier provides dynamic handling and light-duty off-roading capabilities. Unlike other trim models, however, the top-of-the-line Premier is fully loaded with exclusive luxury features, including leather seating.
Which features come with the 2022 Equinox Premier trim?
There are four Equinox trims: the base LS, mid-grade LT, sporty RS, and top-trim Premier. As the high-end Equinox model, the Premier comes fully loaded with upscale creature comforts and enhanced infotainment gear.
Technically, the Premier starts with the LT’s standard features and the contents of the Confidence & Convenience package. From there, it adds a variety of luxury items. These include a hands-free gesture liftgate. With the key in your pocket, you can swish your foot under the bumper to automatically open the liftgate and set down your cargo. And this high-end Equinox also adds leather seating and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, creating a very exclusive vibe.
