For the Equinox’s second act, Chevrolet has redesigned it inside and out and now offers a four-cylinder—a 2.4-liter similar to the one in the Cobalt, Malibu, and Saturn Vue, except the Equinox’s four has direct fuel injection and a higher compression ratio (11.4:1). Output is 182 horsepower at a high 6700 rpm, and 172 pound-feet of torque gets delivered at 4900 rpm. Unlike GM’s powerful four-cylinder engines of the past, this one is smooth and emits nary a protest all the way to 7000 rpm.

With the four-cylinder and the standard six-speed automatic, the 3800-pound, base front-drive Equinox gets from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 8.7 seconds; the nearly 4000-pound all-wheel-drive model is estimated at 9.6 seconds to 60. More impressive are EPA fuel-economy ratings of 22 mpg city and 32 highway for the front-drive four-cylinder version.
