2010 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I never really liked (or disliked) the previous generation Equinox...and it took several test drives versus the competition, and many online owner reviews to convince me that the "new GM" really was new.. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2006 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 I have always been a GM fan. If this Equinox had been my first, I would never have bought another GM vehicle. I have had several Tahoes and Suburbans. All were excellent vehicles. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
