Chevrolet Equinox Pricing Announced 


DETROIT, Dec. 18  /PRNewswire/ -- The all-new Chevrolet Equinox will have a
manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $21,560 when it arrives in
Chevrolet dealerships starting in mid-March.  The price, which includes the $565
dealer freight charge, puts the stylish V-6-powered Equinox squarely in the
heart of the compact utility segment.

"We believe Equinox provides a perfect balance of style, comfort and SUV
capabilities," said Brent Dewar, Chevrolet general manager.  "A spacious
interior, excellent ride and handling, and terrific looks will help Equinox set
a new standard for compact sport utility vehicles."

Equinox is offered in LS and LT models.  The MSRP for the LS model is $21,560,
while the LT model carries an MSRP of $23,275.  Prices include a $565
destination charge.

Equinox features a standard 3400 V-6 engine mated to an Aisin-Warner five- speed
automatic transmission.  The 185-horsepower engine features a broad torque curve
for confident merging and passing, and the transmission has an adaptive learning
capacity to ensure shift quality is maintained throughout the vehicle's service
life.

The Equinox LS standard features include a split-folding sliding rear seat,
16-inch wheels, power windows, remote keyless entry and an AM/FM stereo with CD
player.  The LT offers additional standard features including cruise control,
deep tinted glass, fog lamps, 16-inch cast aluminum wheels and a monochromatic
exterior.  Both models will be available with an on-demand all- wheel drive
option.

The long 112-inch wheelbase and wide stance of Equinox help create a spacious
interior and contribute to a controlled ride and confident handling.

A number of unique interior features enhance the vehicle's functionality. The
Multi-Flex sliding rear seat travels 8 inches for up to 35 cubic feet of cargo
capability or limousine-like legroom (nearly 43 inches) for rear-seat
passengers.  The rear cargo panel system provides multi-level storage, and does
duty as a security cover and a tailgating table.  In addition, the center
console armrest provides concealed storage for smaller items, while the floor
storage bin below accommodates larger items such as a backpack.

Equinox offers a great selection of optional equipment, including 17-inch cast
aluminum wheels, side head-curtain air bags, leather seating, heated front
seats, a six-way power driver's seat and a power sunroof.  Also available is an
AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback, an in-dash six- disc CD player,
and a seven-speaker premium sound system.  Equinox will also offer OnStar and XM
Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only).

Fuel economy is estimated at 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway for front-wheel drive
and 18 mpg city/23 mpg highway with the all-wheel drive.
