Stay tuned later this week for ’s full review of the Equinox.ALL WHEEL DRIVE - POWER SUNROOF - CD PLAYER - SIRIUS XM - CRUISE CONTROL - FOG LAMPS - POWER DRIVER SEAT - CLEAN CARFAXĢ010 Black Chevrolet Equinox LT This Chevrolet Equinox has many features and is well equipped including, 3.0L V6 SIDI DOHC, AWD.Ģ0 year 200,000 mile warranty on MOST new cars The four-cylinder isn’t the most potent drivetrain, but for EPA highway mileage in the 30s, it would have to be far pokier to merit more complaints. Since the fuel economy gain in Eco mode is relatively minor, most drivers will likely leave it off in highway traffic. Instead, you must learn to push the accelerator with gusto, and you’ll be greeted with steady acceleration but not enough to get out of the way of barreling traffic. When Eco mode is engaged on the highway, there isn’t a burst of acceleration when you hammer down the gas pedal to pass there’s no big kickdown in gears by the transmission. We puttered around in a four-cylinder Chevy Equinox all over Chicago, and the Eco button doesn’t appear to cause any noticeable changes - until you get on the highway. Smith’s characterizations may have been too harsh. ![]() The Equinox has an Active Noise Cancellation system that can lower undesirable sounds by up to 20 dB at certain frequencies, according to GM engineer Jim Vallance. At idle speed, the engine can come off a bit coarse-sounding. What are the compromises? For starters, in Eco mode the engine may start lugging at 40 or 50 mph, Smith said, like a manual transmission that’s shifted too early into its topmost gear. “We could get a lot more out of it than we did … but drivability has to be within certain acceptable limits.” “It could have a broader range,” he said. The net effect? About 1 mpg more with it on, Smith said. It cuts the engine’s speed at idle, too, but it doesn’t affect the accelerator pedal. Specifically, Eco mode locks up the Equinox’s torque converter at lower speeds - most automatics do this at highway speeds - and changes shift patterns in the four-cylinder’s six-speed auto. At a press event last Friday near our Chicago offices, GM program engineering manager Doug Smith gave us a rundown. Eco mode doesn’t come without a cost to the driving experience, though. Thanks in part to that button, GM and Chevy say the four-cylinder Equinox achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway. The Equinox’s example is one of the few such buttons we’ve seen in a non-hybrid that actually influences the way the engine and transmission react. The goal is the same: Improving fuel economy. In other cars, “Eco” or “Econ” buttons can limit A/C usage or, in the case of the Honda Insight and Toyota Highlander Hybrid, scale back accelerator sensitivity. It comes in four-cylinder versions of the Equinox. Hop in the redesigned Chevrolet Equinox SUV, and you may notice an “Eco” button ahead of the automatic gearshift. ![]()
