[USA] Chevrolet Equinox (Topic Ufficiale)

**Touareg 2.0** · 21-12-2008 11:04

Now when the federal government has approved a $13.4 billion low interest loan to General Motors and Chrysler, it is obvious that they will last through the first months of 2009.
That also means GM will attend the Detroit Motor Show and show us new models and perhaps even concepts. Currently there is a rumor that GM will unveil a Volt based Cadillac.
When it comes to new models, then the first one GM has revealed details about, is the second-generation Chevy Equinox. For 2010 this little CUV gets a complete redesign from inside-out.

What’s most important in addition to the new design is better fuel-economy thanks to new direct injected engines.
First one is the 2.4-liter direct injected I-4 with 182 hp that delivers estimated 30 mpg highway and 21 mpg city(old engine fuel economy was 24/17). Second in is the 3.0-liter DOHC direct injected V-& engine with 255 hp, which delivers an estimated 30 mpg on highway and 21 mpg in the city.
2010 Equinox is available with either all-wheel or front wheel-drive. New Equinox makes its first public debut in Detroit next month, sales will start in mid 2009. For specific details take a look at the full press release below.

Il frontale anche se e' sempre la solita zolfa...(Grande mascherone con fanali scalinati) si lascia guardare.
Il posteriore e' veramente tirato via....ANTICO..!!

Ancora un bel cruscotto su ultimi modelli GM...
