Exterior

Improved aerodynamic performance through a number of carefully designed exterior features, including moving the base of the windshield forward approximately 75 mm (three inches) for a sleeker profile.
A multi-dimensional hood and wraparound rear side glass and a wheels-at-the-corners stance.
Dimensionally, the Equinox rides on the same 112.5-inch wheelbase as its predecessor, but is about one inch shorter in length and one inch wider. It also has a wider front track that enhances the ride and handling
Equinox’s rocker panels are integrated into the doors to make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle. They narrow the area over which a passenger must step, offering protection for pant legs that could brush against dirty rockers.
Segment-leading wheel line-up: standard 17-inch or available 18 and 19-inch alloy wheels, and available 19" Dual-spoke Chrome wheels.
LTZ Chrome Appearance Package includes- Body-colour bumpers with bright front and rear lowers, Chrome door handles, Outside rear-view, power, manual folding heated chrome mirrors, Chrome luggage rack side rails, plus more.
The new Equinox features Chevy’s signature global face – a two-tier grille and prominent gold bowtie insignia. Strong fender shapes, a distinctive premium roofline, wraparound headlamps and dual round taillamps.
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.

Dress It Up. Or Down

Equinox is not only the perfect fit for everyday activities, but it's also the ideal companion for a night on the town. Take a closer look at Equinox's dual-port grille, standard 17-inch aluminum wheels and jewel-like headlights. We're thinking sweatpants and soccer practice, but also dinner and a show, and dressing up to the nines.

  

  


Interior

A variety of technologies are integrated in the Equinox, such as a DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system with two independent screens to enable DVD viewing on one and gaming on the other.
Available programmable power-operated rear lift.gate
Contemporary, ice-blue ambient lighting – featured within and surrounding the centre stack, encircling the centre-console cup holders and within the door pull cups – accentuates the cabin.
Inside, the Equinox features a number of storage bins, such as an oversized glove box; a closed storage bin in the instrument panel above the centre stack; and closed storage under the centre armrest large enough for a laptop computer.
Roster of personal technologies, including navigation, 40-gig hard drive, Bluetooth and USB audio connectivity. Also range of premium-feature audio systems with up to eight speakers and 250 watts of output.
GM’s first application of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is used on 2.4L-equipped models.
With the 60/40-split-back rear seat moved all the way forward, the cargo area offers 889 litres (31.4 cubic feet) of storage.
The new Equinox retains its MultiFlex rear seat capability, which allows the seat to be moved fore or aft nearly 200 mm (7.9 inches), for the best rear legroom in its class.
Front-seat fore-aft travel of 10 inches, combined with the tilt/telescoping steering wheel and standard power-adjustable seat height, offer exceptional driver comfort.
The front and rear seats, which include cloth and uplevel, perforated leather-trimmed offerings, are designed for best-in-class comfort.

 


Mechanical

AWD models are estimated at 6.9 L/100 km highway and 10.1 L/100 km in the city.
All models have a six-speed automatic transmission; an “eco” mode on models with the 2.4L engine alters shift points to improve fuel economy.
New 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine estimated at 255 horsepower (190 kW), which delivers an estimated 11.9 L/100 km in the city and 8.14 L/100 km on the highway.
Highway driving range up to 1,166 km (723 miles) with the 2.4L engine mean less-frequent fill-ups.
The 2010 Equinox is built on a body-integral structure with single-piece body side stampings and targeted applications of high-strength steel. Those elements form the foundation of a solid, quiet driving experience.
A new, 2.4L direct injection engine helps this great-looking compact crossover deliver best-in-segment highway fuel consumption 6.1 L/100 km.

More Power. Less Fuel

No need to trade off power for better fuel efficiency. With Equinox's Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) on both the standard 182 horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder engine and the available 264 horsepower 3.0L V6, you can take more trips with the family, and fewer trips to the pump. Plus, Equinox's 2.4L engine, which includes a standard ECO button, allows you to drive in the most fuel-efficient mode possible, with a class-leading 6.1 L/100 km on the highway and 9.2 L/100 km in the city. In fact, the 2010 Equinox has better city and highway fuel efficiency ratings than either the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 and offers a highway driving range of up to 1,166 km on a single tank of gas.
