The Equinox’s size, however, puts it a bit between those compact SUVs and larger ones like Ford’s Edge. That’s a good place to be, especially if the price keeps it competitive with the smaller players.
A V-6 engine will also be available. It produces 264 hp and is estimated to get 18/25 mpg city/highway. That’s just 1 mpg better than the outgoing model’s more antiquated engine, and it’s not as good as the V-6 RAV4, which gets 19/27 mpg.
We liked the looks and interior of the new Equinox when we saw it at this year’s Detroit auto show, and this price makes the new model even more attractive.
