2010 Chevrolet Equinox FWD 1LT Review

Stylish Midsize SUV

A three-quarter front view of a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

In short: A well-priced, roomy midsize SUV.

The attractive 2nd-generation Equinox offers great gas mileage and smart styling at an affordable price. While it won't be winning any street races (or towing heavy cargo with its 2.4-liter, 182-horsepower 4-cylinder), this stylish, easy-to-drive sport ute nonetheless provides for a comfortable, quiet ride, thanks to its acoustic laminated glass windows and roomy, well thought-out interior.

Warranty/Service: 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty; 5-year/100,000-mile roadside assistance program; 5-year/100,000-mile courtesy transportation program
