Chevrolet’s new compact SUV stacks up right in the middle.
Most people in the Northern Hemisphere think of an equinox as being the first day of spring or fall, but Equinox is also, of course, the name of this small utility vehicle. We intentionally omit “sport” from that descriptor because this vehicle lacks the necessary athleticism to qualify—it could use some of the energy and fury of Equinox, the Norwegian thrash-metal band with which it shares its name. With the 182-hp, 2.4-liter inline-four motivating base models, it isn’t super slow, but drive prudently and you’ll think so. We recorded a best 0-to-60-mph time of 8.7 seconds and a quarter-mile in 16.8 at 84 mph. Those figures put it near the back of the mini-SUV pack, as does our observed fuel economy of just 18 mpg.
