| The Equinox is the first crossover SUV from Chevrolet, marketed by GM as a [[compact SUV]]. Riding on GM's [[GM Theta platform|Theta]] platform, the [[unibody]] Equinox is mechanically similar to the [[GMC Terrain]], [[Saturn Vue]], [[Pontiac Torrent]], and the 2007 [[Suzuki XL7]]. However, the Equinox and the Torrent are larger than the Vue, riding on a 112.5 in (2857 mm) wheelbase, 5.9 in (150 mm) longer than the [[Saturn Corporation|Saturn]]. It comes standard with a [[front-wheel drive]] layout, with optional [[all-wheel drive]]. Being a unibody architecture, the Equinox is not designed for serious off-roading like the truck-based [[Chevrolet Tahoe]] and Chevrolet TrailBlazer.
| | | data14 = {{{platform|}}} |
| The Equinox is produced at the [[CAMI Automotive]] [[General Motors|GM]]/[[Suzuki]] [[joint venture]] plant in [[Ingersoll, Ontario]], [[Canada]]. The 3.4 L [[GM 60-Degree V6 engine#LNJ|LNJ]] [[V6 engine]] is made in [[People's Republic of China|China]] (by [[Shanghai GM]]), while the [[Aisin AF33 transmission|Aisin AF33]] [[automatic transmission]] is made in [[Japan]].

| ===Equinox Sport===
| | | data16 = {{{transmission|}}} |
| In 2008, [[Chevrolet]] will add a Sport model of the Equinox that features lowered ride height and the new 3.6 [[DOHC]] [[V6]]. The larger, more powerful engine allows the Equinox to accelerate from 0 to {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} in under seven seconds and increases horsepower over 40% (raising it to 264). The Sport model will showcase a slightly different exterior styling, 18 inch wheels and a six speed [[automatic transmission]]. It will be available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations<sup>[http://www.leftlanenews.com/2008-chevrolet-equinox-sport-revealed.html]</sup>. [[General Motors|GM]] has stated the Equinox Sport was the first vehicle to reflect its more cautious naming standards. Instead of using the [[Super Sport]] badge as it had in the past on higher performance vehicles (such as this one), GM has opted to reserve the SS nomenclature for special models worthy of its namesake<sup>[http://www.leftlanenews.com/gm-overusing-ss-label-a-mistake.html]</sup>.

| ===Equinox LTZ=== | | | data18 = {{{length|}}} |
| In addition to the Equinox Sport, a new Equinox LTZ model joins the lineup. The LTZ model is differentiated from other Equinox models by its {{convert|17|in|mm|sing=on}} bright chrome-clad aluminum wheels, bright chrome door handles and bright chrome luggage rack side rail inserts. Standard interior features include heated front seats, leather seating inserts, head curtain side impact air bags, AM/FM stereo with six-disc in-dash CD changer and MP3 CD playback capability and a [[Pioneer]] premium seven-speaker audio system. Equinox LTZ also features the same enhanced ride and handling package as LS and LT models.

| Changes made to ’08 Equinox models include the relocation of the [[compass]] readout from the inside rearview mirror to the driver information center (on models so-equipped), and three new exterior colors: Navy Blue Metallic, Black Granite Metallic and Golden Teal Metallic.
| | | data20 = {{{height|}}} |
| | | | label21 = [[{{#ifeq:{{{sp|us}}}|us|Curb|Kerb}} weight]] |
| [[OnStar]] is standard on ’08 Equinox models. [[OnStar]]-equipped Equinox models are equipped for Turn-by-Turn [[Navigation]], the first factory-installed, fully integrated GPS navigation system from OnStar. Equinox features an enhanced ride and handling package for 2008 that includes stiffer shocks, hydraulic bushings and tuned spring rates.
| | | data21 = {{{weight|}}} |
| | | | label22 = Fuel capacity |
| Also new for 2008 is Electronic Trailer Sway Control – a feature that is integrated into the standard [[StabiliTrak]] system and detects the occurrence of trailer sway that may be caused by improper trailer weight balance or excessive vehicle speed. Upon detection of trailer sway, [[StabiliTrak]] will begin to apply brakes individually, independent of the driver applying the brake pedal, to assist the driver in stabilizing the vehicle, and the [[StabiliTrak]] activation telltale will flash to signal the driver to reduce vehicle speed. If trailer sway continues, [[StabiliTrak]] will reduce engine torque to reduce the speed of the vehicle.
| | | data22 = {{{fuel_capacity|}}} |
| | | | label23 = [[all-electric range|Electric range]] |
| Standard safety features include [[StabiliTrak]] electronic stability control system, standard four-wheel disc brakes with [[Anti-lock braking system|ABS]] and tire pressure monitoring system. Head curtain side air bags are available.

| The 2010 Equinox was revealed by GM on December 21, 2008. The Equinox is expected to be redesigned for the 2010 model year, arriving in dealerships in May 2009. It will get a new 2.4-liter, direct-injection [[Straight-4|4-cylinder]] engine, with better fuel economy promised by GM.<ref>[http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080715/FREE/705485855/1530/FREE GM confirms new products - AutoWeek Magazine<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
| |
| | |
| The new 2.4-liter engine will produce {{convert|182|hp}} and achieve up to 30 miles per gallon (highway,) which is a 25% increase in fuel economy over the outgoing model. Also available is a 3.0-liter V6 engine which produces {{convert|255|hp}}. The 2010 Chevy Equinox will be built on a stiffened version of the same "Theta" platform used in the previous model.<ref>{{citeweb | url = http://www.automoblog.net/2008/12/22/2010-chevy-equinox/ | title = 2010 Chevy Equinox Unveiled | publisher = Automoblog.net | accessdate = 2008-12-23}}</ref>

| ==Fuel Cell version==
| |
| [[Image:Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell.jpg|thumb|left|Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell]]
| |
| The Chevrolet Equinox [[Fuel cell vehicle]] uses hydrogen for fuel and its only emission is water. The Equinox Fuel Cell will use the same fourth-generation hydrogen technology found in the [[Chevrolet Sequel]] concept, which was unveiled earlier in September. The Equinox Fuel Cell is designed for only {{convert|50000|mi|km}} of driving, but is engineered to be operable in subfreezing temperatures throughout its life. GM states that the Equinox Fuel Cell is about 500 pounds heavier than the original Equinox and has one inch less ground clearance. To reduce weight, the Equinox Fuel Cell has aluminum doors and a carbon fiber hood. As a fun fact, the Equinox fuel cell has [[Pontiac Torrent]] headlights.
| |
| | |
| ===Safety occupants, pedestrians===
| |
| The Equinox Fuel Cell will come with a range of safety features, including ABS, [[traction control]], and GM's [[OnStar]] telematics service, which will offer drivers advice on operating the cars as well as information on nearby hydrogen filling stations. The car is expected to meet all 2007 federal safety standards. The Equinox Fuel Cell will have a screen on the dashboard which lets the driver know how much gas they have saved relative to the same mileage of a gasoline-powered Equinox. The instrument panel will also feature a kilowatt meter and a fuel cell energy display. The fuel cell has four vapor outlets which replace the exhaust pipe. Three carbon-fiber fuel tanks storing up to a maximum of 9.25 [[pound (mass)|pound]]s (4.2 kg) of gaseous hydrogen at 10,000 psi (70 [[megapascal|MPa]]) will give the Equinox a range of {{convert|200|mi|km}}. The Equinox Fuel Cell is certified by the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] as a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV). GM will build more than 100 Chevrolet Equinox [[Fuel Cell]] vehicles and will begin deploying these test fleet vehicles in the fall of 2007 as part of a comprehensive plan dubbed “[[Project Driveway]]."
