2010 Chevy Equinox: The Crown Jewel of Compact Crossovers

What's New About the Equinox:

Chevy has stepped up its game with the upscale-looking redesigned five-seater Equinox. The redesigned compact crossover is now available with either a fuel-efficient four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine. Also new for this year, the Equinox is equipped with such high-tech features as a navigational system, a 40-gig hard drive and Bluetooth hands free phone connectivity.

Must Have Goodies:

The Equinox is available in several trim packages: LS, LT or LTZ. Depending on the trim package, your Equinox can be optioned out with leather seats, a DVD rear seat entertainment system, a programmable power-operated liftgate, a power sunroof, a rear-view backup camera, a premium-class 250-watt audio system and 19-inch chrome wheels. Although the Equinox we reviewed was equipped with Chevy’s LT1 package, it lacked many of the aforementioned options. However, our vehicle was still nicely equipped.
