Equinox enters the 2011 model year in very high demand, with vehicles
purchased by customers almost immediately after they reach dealers. More than
half of Equinox buyers have switched from non-GM brands. And to keep up with
demand, GM is retooling part of the plant to further increase production
capacity.
Available in LS, LT and LTZ trim, with available all-wheel
drive, the Equinox complements its styling and fuel efficiency with attention to
detail and unexpected features.
More Miles, Less Fuel
Both
the standard Ecotec 2.4L engine and available 3.0 L V-6 in the Chevrolet Equinox
feature fuel-saving direct injection and variable valve timing technology.
The standard 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine is rated at 182
horsepower (136 kW), which delivers segment-best EPA-estimated fuel economy of
32 mpg highway, 22 mpg city and AWD models rated at 20 city/29 highway.
The 3.0L V-6 is rated at 264 horsepower (197 kW), which delivers an
EPA-estimated 25 mpg highway, 17 mpg city. For 2011, it also offers FlexFuel
capability that allows the Equinox to operate on gasoline, E85 bioethanol or a
combination of both. E85 comprises 85 percent bioethanol, a domestically
produced, renewable fuel that produces fewer greenhouse gases in the combustion
process, and 15 percent gasoline. Chevrolet produces more FlexFuel models than
any other automotive brand.
