2010 Chevrolet Equinox Crossover SUV:
The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox Crossover SUV is powered by two different fuel-saving engines that use a new direct-injection technology. The base model Equinox uses a four-cylinder 2.4 liter which produces 182 horsepower and gets an impressive 22 mpg in the city and a very nice 32 mpg highway which is superior to even a Ford Escape Hybrid. The second engine is a V-6 that is the same that can be found in the Cadillac SRX crossover at 3.0 liters and 264 horsepower. The V-6 only gets 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg in the highway which is still exceptional considering its performance capabilities.
Six-speed automatic transmissions control both engines and have significant torque and upshift ability for a decent zero to sixty capability. The smaller engine seems to have some issues with performance at high speeds, especially in generating passing power, but the larger engine does not suffer from this flaw. The Equinox handles corners very well with minimal body roll and capable steering response.
