2010 Chevrolet Equinox 1LT shows what GM is capable of

The Chevrolet Equinox has never really been a winner in the compact crossover / SUV segment. With sub-par styling and a somewhat disappointing power-train lineup, the Equinox has been often overlooked when compared to its key competitors; the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4 and the Ford Escape. That however, is all about to change in 2010.

For ‘10, the Equinox gets totally redesigned with a theme inspired by the Malibu and the Traverse; a brand new interior with a bunch of features, and a new 2.4L direct injected 4-cylinder that delivers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway. In fact, this is the type of vehicle that makes us think “what the heck was General Motors doing all-along.”
