2010 Chevrolet Equinox

The Chevrolet Equinox is redesigned for 2010. That makes this the second generation of this crossover SUV. Though sized more like a midsize SUV, the Equinox has pricing and features of a compact SUV, though now with some luxury and technology civilities not expected in its cost class.

The redesigned Equinox is well-nigh the same size equally the outgoing model. Just it has different styling inside and out and two new engine choices. The base engine is an upgraded version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder that powered the concluding model. Thanks to direct injection, information technology at present has more power and gets class-leading fuel economic system of 32 mpg on the highway. Lots of audio insulation makes it quieter than about 4-cylinders, also.

Equinox is also offered with a 3.0-liter V6 that replaces a 3.6-liter V6. Information technology has similar power numbers at 264 horsepower, but it feels much less powerful than the larger V6 information technology replaces. In fact, we don't think it feels much more powerful than the capable iv-cylinder, then we think the base of operations engine is the all-time selection.

The new Equinox handles better than its predecessor. It is more carlike than the pre-2010 models, with less lean in turns. Information technology's not sporty, simply information technology's on par with its master competitors, including the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The ride is likewise quite good. We plant that with either the standard 17- or available 18-inch wheels, the Equinox absorbs even sharp bumps without disrupting passenger comfort.

Inside, the Equinox has an attractively designed interior. In that location are some nice amenities, including water ice blue ambient lighting, dual-zone automated climate control, a difficult-drive sound system, a dual-screen rear DVD entertainment arrangement, and a power rear liftgate. The interior materials look and experience like difficult plastic, though.

The Equinox offers plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and they accept 10 inches of travel, then drivers of all sizes with fit. The useful MultiFlex rear seat carries over. It offers viii inches of travel, then alpine passengers tin ride in back or the commuter can push the rear seat forward to carry more cargo.

Its roomy cabin and reasonable pricing make the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox attractive, and buyers can become some prissy civilities they wouldn't expect in this price range. While the last model's handling was too sloppy for many, that problem has been remedied, making the Equinox a player in the entry crossover SUV market.

The 2010 Chevy Equinox is offered in LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ trim levels, each with forepart-wheel drive (2WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). All models come standard with GM's Ecotec four-cylinder engine, now with direct injection technology that improves horsepower from 164 to 182 and torque from 160 to 172 pound-feet. Fuel economy is also improved, every bit GM says the ii.4-liter 4 cylinder with achieve 22/32 mpg (city/hwy) with 2WD and 20/29 with AWD. The manual is a six-speed automatic with an Eco characteristic that alters the shift points to increment fuel economy …

The Chevrolet Equinox is redesigned for 2010. That makes this the second generation of this crossover SUV. Though sized more than like a midsize SUV, the Equinox has pricing and features of a compact SUV, though at present with some luxury and technology amenities non expected in its cost course.

The redesigned Equinox is virtually the same size as the approachable model. Only information technology has different styling inside and out and two new engine choices. The base engine is an upgraded version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder that powered the last model. Thanks to directly injection, it now has more ability and gets class-leading fuel economy of 32 mpg on the highway. Lots of audio insulation makes information technology quieter than most four-cylinders, too.

Equinox is too offered with a three.0-liter V6 that replaces a 3.half dozen-liter V6. It has like power numbers at 264 horsepower, but it feels much less powerful than the larger V6 it replaces. In fact, we don't call back it feels much more powerful than the capable 4-cylinder, then we think the base engine is the best pick.
