GMA's sources told the outlet that 2.0-liter uptake was merely 7%, the kind of adoption you might expect if the 2.0-liter only came with a manual transmission. Despite that climb, buyers weren't going for the more potent engine.

Last year, the Equinox was Chevy's second-best seller after the Silverado, posting 346,048 sales. Since 2008, when dealers moved 67,447 Equinoxes in the U.S., the compact crossover has been on a sales climb interrupted only once, in 2016. The standard mill is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, the optional engine on the LT and Premier trims being the 2.0-liter with 252 hp and 260 lb-ft that adds $2,500 to the MSRP. At the moment, and as it has for three generations, the Equinox offers two engines - after Chevy also dropped the short-lived 1.6-liter diesel four-cylinder. GM Authority reports changes coming for the carryover 2020 model, though, Chevy apparently dropping the optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder for the 2021 model year. That means features like the Blazer-inspired front and rear fascias, more standard equipment and more safety tech, the French stitching in the Premier trim, and the brand new RS trim will wait until 2022. The coronavirus tripped up those plans, delaying the refreshed crossover and a group of other Chevy models like the full-sized SUVs. Chevrolet showed the 2021 Equinox at this year's Chicago Auto Show with the intent to put the model on sale later this year.
