With generous room, smart styling, available all-wheel drive and confident performance, the Chevy Equinox continues to be one of the standouts of the compact SUV segment. Those attributes are enhanced for 2008 with the new Equinox Sport, a performance-oriented variant that delivers a serious dose of driving fun and style.
The Equinox Sport has an aggressive stance and a sporting nature, thanks to a lowered suspension, bold 18-inch wheels, a powerful, 264-horsepower (197 kW)* DOHC engine - backed up with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual tap up/tap down control. Equinox Sport also feature hydraulic power steering, a tuned exhaust and unique interior and exterior appointments - all of which contribute to making Equinox Sport an uncompromising performance vehicle. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models are available.
'The Equinox Sport embodies all of the value-driven performance ingredients that have made Chevrolet the brand for performance enthusiasts of all walks of life,' said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. 'Better still, customers don't have to sacrifice the versatility they expect from the Equinox - they simply get an SUV that hauls their friends and cargo quickly, and with head-turning style.'
