Inside, the Equinox still has some interior trim that belongs on a less expensive model, but there are some very nice features: The rear seat slides forward or back about eight inches, giving you the option of lots of room for passengers or cargo. The test Sport had several options, including leather upholstery, a sunroof, roof racks and side-curtain airbags, bringing the total price, with shipping, to $29,580. Load up an all-wheel-drive Sport with most all options, including a navigation system, and you’re nudging $34,000. The next step up from the base LS is the LT, then the LTZ, then the Sport. Standard on all models is air conditioning, a six-speaker AM/FM stereo with CD player, cruise control, antilock brakes, stability control, keyless entry and a five-speed automatic transmission to go with the 3.4-liter V-6. The least expensive Equinox starts at $22,995, including shipping, and even at that price, the base Equinox is very well equipped. Had we wanted the all-wheel-drive model, that would have added $1,600. So does the sticker: Base price of our front-drive Equinox Sport is $27,380. The Sport is more than just a bigger engine, though: Quite a bit of suspension work has been done to the SUV, the numb electric power steering was replaced by a much better hydraulic unit, handsome 18-inch tires and alloy wheels replace the 16- or 17-inchers on other Equinox models, and some modest but effective body trim identifies it as something different. Hard to get excited about that.įor 2008, that sensible-shoes Equinox remains, but it’s joined by the Equinox Sport. It’s an attractive, utilitarian vehicle marketed at a reasonable price, powered by a reasonably old-fashioned, Chinese-built 3.4-liter V-6 engine with 185 horsepower. Though offered in all-wheel-drive, the Equinox is no off-roader, and most sold are front-wheel-drive. The Equinox, introduced as a 2005 model, has filled an important but moderately low-profile niche for General Motors: As a five-passenger “crossover,” sharing bits and pieces with the Saturn Vue, it targets consumers who don’t need the ruggedness of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, or want a minivan like the Chevrolet Uplander. ^^Read the vehicle's owner's manual for more important feature limitations and information.The 2008 Chevrolet Equinox Sport is the answer to a question I thought no one was asking: “Why isn’t there a deluxe, high-performance version of the Equinox?” See your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information.
