The Chevy Equinox is well worth a look for those seeking a "larger" small SUV that also offers superior handling and driving comfort over traditional truck-based models. As a crossover SUV (built on a carlike platform), the Equinox provides the look and versatility of a traditional SUV, while providing more carlike driving dynamics and better fuel efficiency.
While its handling and steering is fairly unremarkable, its quiet cabin and comfortable ride quality is impressive, particularly on long highway excursions.
