2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

If you're searching for a used 2017 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD for sale in Detroit, MI, this Silver Ice Metallic SUV at NUMBER 1 CAR COMPANY deserves a serious look. With all-wheel drive, a capable four-cylinder engine, and a well-rounded feature set, this Equinox checks the boxes for Metro Detroit drivers who need a reliable, versatile SUV for everyday life — whether that's navigating Woodward Avenue, commuting into Downtown, or heading out on a weekend trip up north.

About This 2017 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD

This 2017 Equinox comes in at 129,224 miles, which is firmly in high-mileage territory — but that's not the whole story. The Equinox platform is known for lasting well into six figures when properly maintained, and many buyers find that a well-cared-for example at this mileage offers tremendous value compared to newer alternatives. Stock #1172 is finished in Silver Ice Metallic, a clean, timeless color that holds up well and hides minor surface imperfections. The 1LT package means this is the entry point into LT trim, bringing meaningful upgrades over the base LS without the premium price of the 2LT.

2017 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's Ecotec 2.4L four-cylinder engine, producing 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. For daily driving in Metro Detroit — stop-and-go on I-75, merging onto I-94, or highway cruising — this combination delivers adequate power and respectable fuel economy for the segment. The AWD system is a genuine asset in Michigan winters, helping you maintain traction on icy suburban streets and unpredictable Wayne County roads. It's not a performance SUV by any measure, but it's composed, predictable, and well-suited to the kind of driving most people actually do.

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

Comfort and Convenience

The LT 1LT trim brings a noticeable step up in comfort and technology over the base LS. Expect features like a MyLink infotainment system with a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB inputs — keeping you connected without overcomplicating things. The Equinox cabin is practical and family-friendly, with comfortable seating for five, decent cargo space behind the rear seats, and an easy-to-use layout that doesn't require a learning curve.

Practical SUV Utility

The rear seats fold flat to open up a generous cargo area — useful for hauling gear, groceries, or anything else that comes with life in Detroit. The elevated ride height gives you good visibility in traffic, and the overall footprint of the Equinox makes it easy to park in tighter urban spots without feeling like you're wrestling a full-size SUV.

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Equinox has a generally solid reputation among owners, though like any vehicle at this mileage, it pays to know what to watch for. The 2.4L four-cylinder is widely considered the more durable engine choice in the Equinox lineup for this generation — avoiding the oil consumption issues that plagued some 3.6L V6 variants. Common ownership considerations at higher miles include timing chain inspection, transmission fluid condition, and general suspension wear. A pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic is always a smart move on any used vehicle. With proper care, many 2.4L Equinox owners have pushed well past 150,000 miles without major mechanical issues.
