It’s time to throw out the old playbook. It’s time to take a fresh look at what a compact crossover vehicle should be. Introducing the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. It sets a new benchmark for its category, with dynamic styling and a remarkable combination of more power and better fuel effi ciency than either the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. Equinox beats them both with astounding 9.2 L/100 km city and 6.1 L/100 km highway fuel-consumption ratings. In fact, the 2011 Equinox provides the best highway fuel effi ciency in its class.* That’s thanks to advanced technologies like Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT), as well as a standard six-speed automatic transmission. Add to that an impressively spacious interior and a sophisticated and comprehensive safety package. We’re not just talking new here. We’re talking about a whole new approach to the compact crossover.

How can an SUV haul so much, yet use so little fuel? Equinox Hybrid provides the definitive answer thanks to its ground-breaking Two-Mode Hybrid System. Just how fuel efficient is this rugged Chevy full-size SUV? It gets the same city fuel efficiency ratings as the four-cylinder Toyota Camry.* That’s nothing short of amazing. Yet it holds nothing back when it comes to conventional truck capabilities, starting with the 332 horsepower Vortec 6.0L LIVC V8 gasoline powered engine with Active Fuel Management and Variable Valve Timing. It is teamed up with the electric power of the advanced GM Hybrid Electric Propulsion System to deliver an unbeatable combination. So you get the hauling capacity you need, with a maximum trailering weight that goes all the way up to 2812 kg (6200 lb.). The SUV with a dual nature – the Two-Mode Hybrid System-powered 2011 Equinox Hybrid.

The look is bold. The lines are sharp and crisp. The stance is assured, just like the attitude. Also contributing to its character are Chevrolet’s trademark dual-port grille and standard 17-inch aluminum wheels. But as with every element of the new Equinox, there’s more than meets the eye. The more functional aspects of the design require a little more attention – to recognize how its size and efficient use of space deliver impressive utility. A closer examination will also reveal the exceptionally tight gaps between body panels – the product of one-piece body stampings. It demonstrates the obsessive approach to quality that affects every aspect of the manufacturing process. In the development of an all-new vehicle, there are no shortcuts. Creative design executed to perfection.

There’s a real fl air inside the new Equinox, thanks to the sporty dual cockpit design that is unique in its segment. Premium accents, like the blue ambient lighting, offer a luxury car appeal. The lighting also increases interior visibility in low-light conditions. The quality of the cabin is further enhanced by its spaciousness and the level of quiet achieved through the use of acoustic laminated glass and triple door seals in addition to many sound-dampening measures. But Equinox also attends to your personal preferences with reclining front bucket seats and a tilt and telescoping steering column. Rear passengers have the added comfort of the Multi-Flex® rear seat that can slide up to 200 mm (7.9 in.) to increase legroom. And the easy-entry door design and narrow step-over not only improve access – they also help keep your clothes from getting dirty. A stylish yet tremendously practical approach to design.

The new Equinox doesn’t ask you to trade off power for better fuel effi ciency. With Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing on both the standard 182 horsepower 2.4L ECOTEC four-cylinder engine and the available 264 horsepower 3.0L V6 engine, power and fuel effi ciency are both maximized. As its name suggests, Direct Injection delivers fuel directly into the combustion chamber for a more complete burn, reducing both fuel consumption and emissions. Variable Valve Timing automatically adjusts the timing of the valve operation to optimize the use of fuel and increase power output. For performance you have to drive to believe. And the standard sixspeed automatic transmission further improves fuel effi ciency, with an ECO button that allows you to switch to a fuel-saving mode on models with the 2.4L engine. Advanced technology – for the power you need and the fuel effi ciency you demand
