2010-equinox-iiiChevrolets new 2010 Equinox is a definitely a step up from its predecessor; this SUV is a beautiful site to see inside and out.  If it wasn’t for the front emblem, you’d think you were looking at a Mercedes SUV.  Chevy also introduced a whole new concept unlike the rest of the family, a center stack of controls and readouts.

Not only does it come in either FWD or AWD but there are two different power plants to choose from.

The in-line four cylinder rates at 182-hp and gets around 21/30 mpg city/highway FWD, 21/27 mpg AWD city/highway, which is better than the Jeep Patriot, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and the Nissan Rogue.  Keep in mind that all these other vehicles are smaller in size than the Equinox.

The V-6, 255hp gets 18/25 mpg city/highway, FWD, 17/24 mpg city/highway, AWD.  Both engines have direct injection to help save fuel.

The Cabin is as quiet as they get with the acoustic laminated glass, liquid applied sound dampener and a refined exhaust.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail is definitely one of GM’s finest works.  The engineers went out of their way to make sure this little beauty of a machine is a joy to drive and the comfort second to none for the whole family.
