Chevy's upcoming 2010 Equinox crossover is now expected to boast higher fuel economy ratings than GM had originally hoped for, making it the most efficient vehicles in its class.

The four-cylinder front-wheel drive Equinox is expected to return 32 mpg highway, a full 2 mpg better than original expectations. City mileage also climbs as GM now predicts it will average 22 mpg, 1 mpg higher than previous estimates. While these numbers haven't been officially confirmed by the EPA as of yet, GM appears confident they will hold when all testing is complete.

 

Power for the aforementioned Equinox comes from a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine that produces 182 horsepower. A more powerful 3.0-liter DOHC V6 engine with 264 horsepower will also be available, it is expected to return 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway in FWD trim.

Look for the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox to start arriving in dealerships next month with a base price of $23,185.

Honestly if it didn't had "Chevy" logo, I'd def consider it. That logo annoys me =/

this is one of the reason why GM & Chrysler failed...they can do it, but just react to the market too slow...it's little too late after all, brands from GM/ Chrysler loss their credibility & goodwill.

good lookin' suv in my opinion, that 3.0L V6 sounds very nice...

I like very much the design of the interior, it looks very modern and refined.

Good work GM, I hope that products like this and (camaro -- I fan)... keep coming up so that GM could accomplish another 100 years.

my 4 cylinder X-trail gets 35mpg... so this is pretty respectable for an american ride. and this car boosts almost 20 or so hp more than my car... prob to handle the extra weight though :P!!!

It is really atractive, I agree with Siawa that logo is not appealing. Inside and out it's a beauty but I'll wait for the 2010 Jeep Cherokee saw it at the NYC car show, WOW.
