2010 Chevrolet Equinox Overview

Price Range: $22,615 to $29,970

Your Price: Ask Us

Those who thought that Chevy was in trouble haven’t noticed the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox that not only gets an interior/exterior redesign, but drastically improved fuel economy. Oh yeah, the Equinox happens to be an SUV.

Entering its second generation, the 2010 Equinox becomes sleeker and more compact with functional definition. When it comes to looks, the Equinox can best be described as part Traverse crossover (aerodynamic), part Malibu sedan (split grille) and part Saturn Vue (headlights). The Equinox is available in three trims – LS, LT and LTZ – and provides ample power from two engines – a 2.4-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder and 3.0-liter, 264-horsepower V-6. Both engines are front-wheel drive and are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The V-6 also offers a manual-shift. All-wheel drive is optional. The most astounding change with the 2010 Equinox is probably the improved fuel economy. The Equinox receives 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway—not bad for an American-made SUV.

The Equinox seats five and competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape. It can tow between 1,500—3,500 pounds depending on which engine you opt for. One of the most notable aspects of the Equinox is how it utilizes interior space. The adjustable 60/40 rear seats can move forward and backward to give you 31.4 cubic feet with the rear seat in place, or 63.7 cubic feet with the seats stowed. A sleeker dash includes an available Pioneer® premium sound system, in-dash six-disc CD changer, auxiliary input jack for your iPod®, and XM® Radio – creating a world-class sonic experience. The available DVD entertainment system includes a 7-inch flip-down monitor and wireless headphones for rear seat passengers. The available heated front bucket seats with leather inserts add a greater level of comfort, while the optional internal hard drive, navigation system, backup camera and power liftgate are sure to impress.

Safety features include four-wheel antilock brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and Proactive Roll Avoidance to reduce the vehicle’s propensity to roll over in a panic situation. Standard dual front airbags and head-curtain side-impact airbags help reduce the risk of injury in a collision.

If you like the size of an SUV and the fuel economy of a sedan, the redesigned 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is an American force to be reckoned with.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
