WHAT CHEVY HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE EQUINOX:

Source: General Motors

Equinox debuts for 2005 as a smaller, less-expensive midsize-SUV companion to Chevrolet's TrailBlazer. It shares its car-type platform with the Vue from GM's Saturn division, but has a longer wheelbase and body, and has steel body panels in place of Vue's plastic. Equinox seats five; no 3rd-row seat is offered. The rear seat slides fore and aft 8 inches to maximize passenger or cargo space. The one-piece rear hatch does not include separate-opening glass. Equinox comes in LS and uplevel LT trim, both with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. A 185-hp V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission make up the sole powertrain. Traction control is standard on the 2WD LT, optional as part of the ABS option on the 2WD LS. ABS is standard on all but the 2WD LS. Head-protecting curtain side airbags are optional. Available features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, satellite radio, OnStar assistance, and 17-inch wheels in place of standard 16s.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker. Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options. The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently. NA = price not available, NC = no charge.

OUR TAKE ON THE 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX: The Chevy Equinox brings in a whole new era of sport utility vehicles: the cross SUV. This new trend in the automotive industry brings all of the benefits of a sport utility vehicle onto a car-like platform. The spaciousness and all wheel drive performance of a sport utility crosses with the fuel efficiency and agility of a car. The Equinox is priced well below most mid size SUVs and sales are expected to dominate GMCs SUV lineup. The Equinox is also built in a Pontiac configuration as well known as the 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

THE CHEVY EQUINOX COMPETES WITH: 2006 Dodge Nitro, 2006 Dodge Caliber, 2006 Toyota Rav4, 2008 Nissan Rogue, 2009 Nissan Murano
