The Equinox’s claim to fame is its fuel economy - an EPA-estimated 22/32 mpg city/highway with the standard 182- horsepower four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. (See a side-by-side comparison of the new Equinox and the previous version.) I tested two LT versions of the crossover, one with the four-cylinder and one with the optional V-6 engine. It’s offered in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. Some people might find the Equinox’s ride a bit too firm for a family vehicle, but there’s enough good stuff going on here to elevate the Equinox - for the first time - into a discussion of the best small crossovers on the market. It also features a large backseat to keep passengers happy. The second-generation Chevrolet Equinox four-cylinder surpasses the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4 - three of its main competitors - in gas mileage, and its stylish cabin brings high-quality materials and an upscale flair to the class. Twice a year, the equinox marks a near-perfect balance between length of day and night across the planet, and for 2010 the redesigned Equinox offers an excellent balance of size and efficiency, roominess and utility, quality and price. “Equinox” has become a truly apt name for Chevrolet’s small crossover.
