Default Chevrolet Equinox


<center></center>

Detroit, Michigan - The new 2005 Chevrolet Equinox compact SUV will replace the Tracker in Chevrolet's lineup but will be larger than most other compact SUV's.

"Equinox will be the largest vehicle in its class and set new standards for compact SUV functionality," said Margaret Brooks, Equinox marketing director. Based on the new Saturn VUE platform, the Equinox has the longest wheelbase (112.5 inches), and a wide stance (61.6 inches.)

One of its most distinguishing features is the Multi-Flex rear seating, which provides flexibility for passenger comfort and cargo. The rear seat slides nearly 8 inches, which provides extra room for passengers when moved back, or additional cargo space when moved forward. A fold-flat front passenger seat, combined with a split-folding rear seat, allows the Equinox to carry extra-long cargo inside the vehicle. A height-adjustable cargo shelf, with plastic on one side and carpet on the other, doubles as a security cover and a picnic table. Equinox also comes with abundant storage locations throughout, including a center front console with hidden storage compartments and integrated storage bins in the rear.

A Vortec 185 horsepower 3.4 litre V6 engine and five-speed automatic transaxle transmission are standard on all models. Equinox will be available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A 3,500-pound towing capability is available as an option.

The on-demand all-wheel-drive system delivers power to the front wheels during normal driving conditions on dry road surfaces, and delivers power to the rear wheels if front wheel slippage is detected. The Equinox has an independent suspension: McPherson Strut front suspension and an independent four-link rear suspension with coil springs. Brakes are front disc brakes with dual piston calipers, and drum brakes in the rear. A Bosch ABS system is optional.

better than the tracker by far. Unfortunantly GM already has too many SUVs, which leads me to the question of why make more?

high demand? For now yes, but once the market turns, and it will these SUVs will be a burden for the automakers.
