Interior and exterior changes give the new 2007 Chevrolet Equinox a vibrant makeover for 2007, while new safety features better protect its occupants. The list of notable standard equipment has lengthened also.

The five-passenger Chevrolet Equinox, offers a larger interior than the Tracker had, more comfortable ride and a novel rear seat that can slide forward and back nearly 8 inches to provide a whopping 40.2 inches of back-seat legroom — unheard of in the smaller SUV segment. Also standard in every Equinox: A V6 and automatic transmission. The Equinox has a larger, more powerful, 185-horsepower 3.4-liter overhead valve V6. It's mated to a smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic. The engine's 210 lb-ft of torque at 3800 rpm provide satisfying get up and go from start-up as well as when drivers need to merge onto freeways and dodge into oncoming traffic. And the power plant moves the Equinox confidently during highway travel.

Fuel economy for the test Equinox LT with all-wheel drive was rated at 19 miles a gallon in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway, the very same rating that a VUE with all-wheel drive gets when it's fitted with a VUE V6. The seat track that's included to move the Equinox rear seat forward and aft helps explain why there's all that rear-seat legroom in the Equinox. The VUE's rear-seat legroom is 36.8 inches, which is less than the 39.4 inches in the competing Honda CR-V.
