2010 Chevrolet Equinox

The all-new 2010 Chevrolet Equinox compact crossover blends distinctive design with outstanding efficiency. A new, 2.4L direct injection engine helps the Equinox deliver best-in-segment estimated highway fuel economy of 30 mpg -- a 25-percent improvement over the previous model.

The new Equinox draws its exterior design inspiration from the Chevrolet Malibu sedan and Traverse crossover; and like those vehicles, the new Equinox complements its styling with attention to detail and unexpected features.

The design features Chevy's signature global face -- the two-tier grille and prominent gold Bowtie insignia. Strong fender shapes, a distinctive premium roofline, wraparound headlamps and dual round taillamps are additional elements that define Equinox.

The 2010 Equinox is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim, with available all-wheel-drive. Two new engines are offered, each with fuel-saving direct injection and variable valve timing technology.

The new 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine generates about 182 horsepower. The new 3.0L direct injected V-6 engine at 255 horsepower delivers an estimated 25 mpg highway, 18 mpg city.

Inside, the Equinox features attention to detail, including a number of storage bins, such as an oversized glove box; a closed storage bin in the instrument panel above the center stack; and closed storage under the center armrest large enough for a laptop computer.
