Holden Equinox LT 2018 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
7

The mid-point of the Holden Equinox 2018 model range is the LT, which is listed at $36,990.

The LT gets a bigger engine than the two lower-spec models - a larger 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit with plenty of extra poke: 188kW and 353Nm, or about 48 per cent more power and 28 per cent more torque than the entry-level cars - but it uses a bit more fuel, too: 8.2L/100km as opposed to 6.5L/100km for the entry model. Gone, too, is the six-speed automatic, with a new nine-speed auto transmission taking its place for this front-wheel drive only model. A diesel will be available later in 2018.

The LT builds upon the LS+ model, upgrading to 18-inch alloy wheels, a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen media system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, four USB points (two front, two rear) a 230-volt powerpoint in the second row, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, HID headlights and the provision for roof-rack mounting.

All of the same safety tech remains, including a reversing camera, rear parking sensors (complemented by rear parking sensors in this spec), and six airbags, 'Holden Eye' camera safety system with auto emergency braking (AEB), lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning. Additionally, there’s blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and auto high-beam assist, and Holden’s 'Safety Alert' driver’s seat, which will vibrate to warn the driver of potential hazards.
