About the Chevrolet Equinox
The second-generation Chevrolet Equinox arrived for the 2010 model year, moving to the Theta platform and offering a significantly more upscale interior than its predecessor. The 2.4-litre Ecotec engine featured direct injection, a first for the segment, which helped it achieve a then-impressive 32 mpg on the highway. While not a performance vehicle, it was praised for its 'MultiFlex' sliding rear seat and quiet cabin, thanks to active noise cancellation on the four-cylinder models. It served as a critical volume seller for GM during its post-bankruptcy recovery period.

Chevrolet Equinox fun facts
- The 2.4-litre model featured an 'Eco' button that altered transmission shift points and locked the torque converter earlier to maximise fuel economy.
- To reduce cabin drone, the 2010 Equinox 2.4 was equipped with an active noise cancellation system that played opposing frequencies through the car's speakers.
- The second-generation Equinox was so popular that GM had to add production capacity at its Oshawa, Ontario plant to meet demand.
