The result: The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox.
Say again? The Equinox?
That's right. General Motors expects its all-new, 2010 Equinox to put a serious dent in the draw of the traditional best-selling compact crossovers. That's a tall order. Chevy has moved just 21,000 of the little utes so far this year, compared with Toyota selling 52,000 RAV4s and Honda selling 65,000 CR-Vs. But now that we've driven the new Equinox, we'd say it has a shot.
The task: Take on two of the most popular small SUVs, the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V.
For Starters Its Good And Unique Too Chevrolet always comes in New Model And Be Hit.The 3.0-liter V6 develops 264 hp and 222 lb-ft, will get 25 mpg on the highway and reaches 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. Both engines come with six-speed automatic transmissions; the four-cylinder has an eco mode, which adjusts shift points for better mileage.
