Detroit Preview： 2010 Chevrolet Equinox debuts with direct injection

　　Now that General Motors will be getting a cash infusion to stay in business at least through January, the automaker plans to unveil some new products at next month's Detroit Auto Show. The first one we can show you is the second-generation 2010 Chevy Equinox. You might recognize the greenhouse from spy photos we published earlier this year in which which the CUV was misidentified as the Cadillac BRX. While the Equinox gets a complete re-skin for 2010, the new CUV's dimensions are within an inch of the current model in all directions.

　　The Equinox remains a unibody crossover with either front- or all-wheel drive and the same basic suspension layout as before. The platform is an evolution of the current Theta architecture shared with the Saturn Vue. The Equinox's new styling looks more contemporary with prominent wheel arches and the obligatory Chevy twin-port grille. Inside, a new dual cockpit setup looks very similar to the one in the larger Traverse. As expected of any new model these days, the full array of USB audio, Bluetooth and DVD entertainment systems are also now available. Starter Edition 2010 Equinox will be equipped with new engines, one naturally aspirated, direct injection of fuel 2.4L Ecotec four-cylinder engine will be used, the maximum power of 182hp, the maximum torque of 174lb-ft. For those who require more power users, the new 255hp, 214lb-ft of 3.0L V6 engine to meet your requirements.

　　既然通用将得到政府的注资而继续存活下去，那么他们计划将在下个月的底特律车展上推出几款全新的车型。我们向大家介绍的第一辆车型是这款第二代的2010雪佛兰Equinox。今年年初我们曾将一张谍照上的Equinox误认为了是一辆凯迪拉克BRX。

　　对于2010款车型，Equinox得到了完全的更新，这款全新CUV的尺寸相比目前这代车型在各个方向上都差不多。 Equinox仍然保持了和原来一样的后轮驱动或者全轮驱动系统，还有同样的悬架布置。它所使用的平台是目前和Saturn Vue一起共享的Theta平台的改进版。Equinox的全新造型看起来更加的现代，突出的轮拱和雪佛兰特有的双口格栅让它看起来威猛无比，丝毫不逊于任何SUV。车内全新的两部分驾驶舱布置看起来和Traverse非常的相似。

　　正如我们对于当今任何全新车型所要求的，全套的USB音频系统，蓝牙和DVD娱乐系统都是必不可少的。入门版2010 Equinox将配备全新的引擎，一款自然吸气，燃油直喷的2.4L Ecotec四缸引擎将得到使用，最大功率182hp，最大扭矩174lb-ft。对那些要求更大动力的用户来说，全新255hp，214lb-ft的3.0L V6引擎能够满足你们的要求。
