 Pros The vehicle gives great gas mileage, 22 city and 32 highway, exceeding all same-class competitors.

 Pros The 4-cylinder engine is powerful enough to provide 182 of horsepower at 6700 rpm, however quality engineering has ensured that passengers enjoy a quiet ride, unlike most similar same-engine-size vehicles.

 Pros New design ensures additional security in taking turns, and the SUV handling is more similar to cars than to larger SUVs. Enjoy the safety of StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, with traction control, rollover mitigation, and electronic trailer sway control.

 Pros Reduced drag and a sleeker, more aerodynamic design on the Chevrolet Equinox SUV Crossover are both aesthetically pleasing as well as helpful in increasing fuel-efficiency.

 Pros Passengers enjoy a smooth ride with standard 17-inch aluminum wheels.

 Cons As a midway point between cars and SUVs, the Chevrolet Equinox SUV Crossover has neither the compactness of smaller vehicles nor the large capacity of bigger SUVs. Buyers that are focused on one or the other will be dissatisfied with a compromise.

 Cons Interior materials could use some improvement, as the hard plastic takes away from the overall high-quality feel.

 Cons While most common safety features come standard, buyers will pay extra for the highest safety options.
