The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox continues the theme of value, efficiency, comfort, and style associated with the Equinox line.

Since the 2010 Equinox came to market, it has brought Detroit to the playing field once dominated by Japanese automakers.

The sleek design and roomy cabin of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox gives all passengers a sense of comfort. Many vehicles in this class are trying to create seven-passenger seating out of a five-passenger wheelbase. That sounds good on paper, but in actuality it leaves something to be desired for the people sitting in the back row. Chevy is sticking to the five-passenger motto and allowing bigger models like the Chevrolet Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban to handle the larger crowds.

The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox sticks to the details.

The 2012 model brings slight modifications to the Equinox gallery including a change in exterior hues, tail-lamp tint, and different wheel designs. These little tweaks keep the model fresh and ensure that it remains up-to-date with the fashion and desire of the target market.

The engine groups for the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox will stay the same, featuring the fuel-sipping 2.4L four-cylinder that can achieve 29 MPG on the highway with the AWD model. Driving around the city will average about 20 MPG for the four-cylinder dynamo, making errand-running and trips to the grocery store more economical than with other fuel-guzzling  SUVs. This four-cylinder has 182 horsepower, keeping it up to pace with the Honda CR-V and making sure that your fuel gauge does not pay the price. If you are in need of more pep, you can get the 3.0L V-6 that cranks out 265 horsepower. The AWD V6 can achieve a respectful 22 MPG on the highway and 17 MPG running around town. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic, which takes advantage of aggressive lower gears for better acceleration and lower gearing for better mileage on the highway and longer trips.

Overall, the the 2012 Equinox offers a sleek and stylish design, great fuel economy, comfort, and versatility — qualities you only get by combining the best of many vehicles into one.
