Inside, a snazzy new control panel and eye-catching two-tone color schemes make its rivals' cabins seem dull and unimaginative by comparison. With a bold yet classy face and soft curves, the Equinox looks more grown-up and sophisticated than its many competitors (and its predecessor). While the efficiency of these new engines is praise-worthy, it's the Equinox's complete stem-to-stern design overhaul that should really garner attention. A new direct-injected 3.0-liter V6 option isn't as punchy as the outgoing top-of-the-line 3.6-liter V6, but it's more fuel efficient. Under the hood resides a new base engine, a torquey four-cylinder that offers best-in-class fuel economy and competitive acceleration. The new 2010 Equinox shares its basic underpinnings with last year's version, but is otherwise entirely new. The original Equinox was a decent vehicle, notable for its spacious cabin and peppy yet fuel-efficient V6, but it didn't offer enough character or refinement to grab attention in a crowded, competitive marketplace. Thankfully for us consumers, GM's desperation has resulted in just that. Small crossovers have become the best-selling SUVs, but the segment has been dominated by Honda and Toyota. You could think of it as the number-one draft pick for an 0-16 team or the make-or-break third album after a sophomore stinker. The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is of paramount importance for the new GM.
