The Equinox slots between the HHR and TrailBlazer, and the first crossover SUV from the marque.

The Equinox uses the GM Theta platform and is produced at the CAMI Automotive GM/Suzuki joint venture plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. The 3.4 L LNJ V6 engine is made in China, while the Aisin AF33 transmission is made in Japan.

The Equinox is a unibody crossover vehicle. It comes standard with a front wheel drive layout, with optional all wheel drive. It is not designed for serious off roading like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet TrailBlazer.

The Equinox is larger than the VUE, riding on a 112.5 in (2857mm) wheelbase, 5.9 in (149.9 mm) longer than the Saturn. It has much in common with the Pontiac Torrent and 2007 Suzuki XL-7, however; the Equinox is a corporate twin to the Torrent.

2008 model changes

Equinox Sport

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 60 mph 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 transmission. It will be available in either front wheel drive or all wheel drive configurations. GM has stated that 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 name sake.

Equinox LTZ

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 17-inch 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.

2008 model features

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.
