At Impex Chevrolet in Reidsville, NC
The redesigned Equinox brings modern capability, confident style, and family-ready flexibility to your everyday routine. From its 1.5L Turbo engine and standard Drive Mode Selector to the crisp 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, the Equinox is engineered to make every mile smarter and more enjoyable. Chevy Safety Assist, with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, adds peace of mind before you even shift into Drive, while available all-wheel drive and up to 1,500 lbs. of towing capability broaden your weekend plans. Shoppers weighing a lease versus financing often focus on how they’ll use their SUV over the next three to five years. If you love the latest tech, fresh design cues like the RS grille or ACTIV’s rugged details, and the flexibility to move on to the newest model regularly, a lease can fit like a glove. If you prefer long-term value, the freedom to personalize, and the confidence that comes with full ownership, financing may be the better path. Our team at Impex Chevrolet is here to help you decide which route aligns with your driving habits and goals.
Is leasing a good option if I drive a lot?
Leases come with mileage limits, but higher-mileage options may be available. If you consistently exceed average mileage, financing may be a better fit for long-term flexibility.
Can I buy my Equinox at the end of a lease?
Yes, many leases include a purchase option at lease-end, so you can keep the SUV you already love if it still suits your needs.
How does the warranty factor into leasing vs. buying?
Most lessees remain within the new-vehicle warranty period, simplifying maintenance. Buyers who plan to keep the vehicle long-term can add protection plans for extended peace of mind.
What credit considerations should I keep in mind?
Both leasing and financing require credit approval. Strong credit profiles often access more term choices and lower rates. Our team can review options tailored to your situation.
Can I customize the Equinox if I lease?
Leases typically limit permanent modifications. If you anticipate accessories or appearance upgrades beyond dealer-installed items, financing provides more freedom.
Leasing suits drivers who want the freshest look and feel without long-term commitment. The Equinox’s available features advance quickly, from Google built-in and the 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen to evolving driver assistance tech like HD Surround Vision, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Side Bicyclist Alert. Choosing a lease lets you align your SUV with Chevy’s latest updates sooner, while staying centered on warranty-backed years for streamlined ownership. With multiple trims and personalities, leasing helps you sample the confident, Black-accented RS or the adventure-ready ACTIV with uniquely tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces. Available all-wheel drive and Drive Mode Selector add confidence if your routine includes wet commutes or gravel roads, and the standard 1.5L Turbo engine provides responsive power for daily errands. If your life tends to change every few years, or if you enjoy switching from urban-friendly style to a more trail-inspired look, leasing offers the flexibility to match the Equinox to your evolving preferences and schedule.
Financing gives you the keys to long-term flexibility. When you own the Equinox, you decide how to configure and equip it for your life, from crossbars for weekend gear to interior organizers that keep family essentials in reach. Ownership makes full use of the Equinox’s practicality—up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate—so you can handle moves, home projects, or growing kids without watching a calendar. The efficient 1.5L Turbo engine and available all-wheel drive combine everyday drivability with traction readiness, while up to 1,500 lbs. of towing capacity supports small trailers or bikes for your next trip. Financing can also be compelling for drivers who plan to keep their SUV beyond a typical lease term, especially if you want to capture resale value on your timetable. With ownership, you can maintain the Equinox to your standards, choose your accessories and upgrades, and optimize long-term value around your driving habits and goals.
The Equinox blends thoughtful design with technology that works hard for you each day, starting with a refined cabin anchored by an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and Google built-in for seamless voice control over navigation, music, and apps. Integrated Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep your favorite content accessible without cords, while an available wireless phone charging pad tidies the front console. Confidence comes standard through Chevy Safety Assist, a suite that includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® auto high beams, supported by available upgrades like HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. Under the hood, the efficient 1.5L Turbo pairs with the standard Drive Mode Selector and available all-wheel drive to adapt to rain, gravel, or weekend getaways. Practicality shines with up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo space, hidden underfloor storage, and the available AutoSense Power Liftgate that opens hands-free when your arms are full. Style seekers can choose the RS with a flat-bottom steering wheel, unique grille, and Black emblems, or opt for ACTIV’s rugged appearance, distinctive suspension tuning, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating. With colors like Cacti Green/Summit White and special editions such as the Midnight Edition on LT, the Equinox makes personalization effortless.
Local driving patterns and terrain play a big role in the best payment strategy for you. If your weekly routine spans Winston-Salem, High Point, and school or office routes with a lot of stop-and-go traffic, leasing can keep you in newer safety tech more frequently, putting a premium on evolving features like HD Surround Vision and the latest refinements to Chevy Safety Assist. When your schedule includes longer highway stints to places like Danville, VA, and Roanoke, VA, financing may make sense if you want to own your SUV for the long haul and put on the miles without mileage caps. Families who juggle sports practices and Costco runs often value the Equinox’s roomy cargo area, hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate, and the ability to tailor the interior over time—benefits that tend to favor ownership. On the other hand, style-focused drivers who love the RS’s blacked-out details or ACTIV’s adventurous look might prefer leasing to refresh the vibe every few years. If you’re weighing long-term value against short-term flexibility, the team at Impex Chevrolet will help you map your day-to-day driving to an option that fits just right.
We make it simple to compare scenarios side by side. Start with our online tools to pre-qualify, estimate a payment range, and preview lease and finance structures that align with your preferred mileage and term. Our finance center works closely with GM Financial, so we can walk you through available programs and explain how factors like annual miles, lease-end options, or equity-building ownership affect your total cost of driving. Prefer a personal touch? Schedule a one-on-one consultation to review your commute, weekend plans, and must-have features—like available all-wheel drive, the RS appearance package, or ACTIV’s off-road-inspired tuning—and we’ll match them to the most practical path. We also streamline trade-ins with quick, transparent valuations to help you understand how your current vehicle can shape the numbers. Whether you complete most steps online or visit our showroom for a test drive, our process is geared for clarity, speed, and comfort. From first browse to key handoff, our goal is to make choosing your next Equinox—and how to pay for it—straightforward and confidence-inspiring.
