Chevrolet Equinox Pricing Announced DETROIT, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/
-- The all-new Chevrolet Equinox will have a manufacturer's
suggested retail price (MSRP) of $21,560 when it arrives in
Chevrolet dealerships starting in mid-March. The price, which
includes the $565 dealer freight charge, puts the stylish
V-6-powered Equinox squarely in the heart of the compact utility
segment. "We believe Equinox provides a perfect balance of style,
comfort and SUV capabilities," said Brent Dewar, Chevrolet general
manager. "A spacious interior, excellent ride and handling, and
terrific looks will help Equinox set a new standard for compact
sport utility vehicles." Equinox is offered in LS and LT models.
The MSRP for the LS model is $21,560, while the LT model carries an
MSRP of $23,275. Prices include a $565 destination charge. Equinox
features a standard 3400 V-6 engine mated to an Aisin-Warner five-
speed automatic transmission. The 185-horsepower engine features a
broad torque curve for confident merging and passing, and the
transmission has an adaptive learning capacity to ensure shift
quality is maintained throughout the vehicle's service life. The
Equinox LS standard features include a split-folding sliding rear
seat, 16-inch wheels, power windows, remote keyless entry and an
AM/FM stereo with CD player. The LT offers additional standard
features including cruise control, deep tinted glass, fog lamps,
16-inch cast aluminum wheels and a monochromatic exterior. Both
models will be available with an on-demand all- wheel drive option.
The long 112-inch wheelbase and wide stance of Equinox help create
a spacious interior and contribute to a controlled ride and
confident handling. A number of unique interior features enhance
the vehicle's functionality. The Multi-Flex sliding rear seat
travels 8 inches for up to 35 cubic feet of cargo capability or
limousine-like legroom (nearly 43 inches) for rear-seat passengers.
The rear cargo panel system provides multi-level storage, and does
duty as a security cover and a tailgating table. In addition, the
center console armrest provides concealed storage for smaller
items, while the floor storage bin below accommodates larger items
such as a backpack. Equinox offers a great selection of optional
equipment, including 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, side
head-curtain air bags, leather seating, heated front seats, a
six-way power driver's seat and a power sunroof. Also available is
an AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback, an in-dash six-
disc CD player, and a seven-speaker premium sound system. Equinox
will also offer OnStar and XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S.
only). Fuel economy is estimated at 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway for
front-wheel drive and 18 mpg city/23 mpg highway with the all-wheel
drive. DATASOURCE: Chevrolet CONTACT: Carolyn Normandin of
