Chevrolet unveiled the all-new 2010 Chevrolet
Equinox, a compact crossover that blends distinctive
design with outstanding efficiency. A new, 2.4L
direct injection engine helps the Equinox deliver
expected best-in-segment estimated highway fuel
economy of 30 mpg (EPA certification pending) – a
25-percent improvement over the previous model.
Chevrolet expects nearly two-thirds of customers
will choose the efficient, 2.4L engine.
The new
Equinox draws its exterior design inspiration from
the Chevrolet Malibu sedan and Traverse crossover;
and like those vehicles, the new Equinox complements
its styling with attention to detail and unexpected
features, according to Ed Peper, GM North America
vice president, Chevrolet.
The Equinox makes its world debut at the North
American Auto Show in Detroit next month.
‘At a time when customers are so concerned about
the fuel efficiency of their vehicle, the Equinox
delivers,’ said Peper. ‘It offers the roominess and
capability of a crossover with great fuel economy.
Equinox will provide customers a vehicle filled with
refinement, comfort and great value.’
The 2010 Equinox goes on sale in mid-2009. It is
available in LS, LT and LTZ trim, with available all-wheel-drive.
Two new engines are offered, each with fuel-saving
direct injection and variable valve timing
technology.
