Introduction
First introduced as a 2005 model, and updated slightly for 2007, the Chevrolet Equinox gets a complete redesign for 2010. With exterior design inspired by the Malibu sedan and Traverse crossover, the new 2010 Chevrolet Equinox crossover utility vehicle (CUV) has the same 112.5-inch wheelbase as the previous version, but is an inch wider and about one inch shorter. The front track is also wider to improve ride and handling, according to Chevrolet. When the 2010 Equinox goes on sale in mid-2009, it will be available in LS, LT and LTZ trims, each with available all-wheel drive (AWD). Two all-new engines will be offered, a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder delivering an estimated 30 mpg highway and a 3.0-liter V-6 expected to achieve 25 mpg highway.
