Introduced as an early 2005 model the Equinox sport utility vehicle was considered Chevrolet's first crossover SUV because it combines SUV styling with a car-based unibody design. Chevrolet says the Equinox takes a fresh memorable approach to SUV design aimed at many types of customers. The Equinox rides a 112.5-inch wheelbase and features a wide stance: 71.4 inches overall with a 61.6-inch front track width. Chevrolet's 3.4-liter V-6 produces 185 horsepower and 210 pounds-feet of torque and drives a five-speed-automatic transmission. When equipped with an optional towing package the Equinox can haul up to 3500 pounds. Optional on-demand all-wheel drive delivers power to the front wheels during normal conditions but sends power to the rear wheels if front-wheel slippage is detected.
