Chevrolet Equinox Mk. II and GMC Terrain

The crossover that replaces the Chevrolet Tracker (OEM of the Suzuki Escudo), known as the Chevrolet Equinox, has received its full model change to please American consumers with its efficiency, space, quality, and all the premium amenities offered in one premium package.





But there is something else regarding the full-model change of the new Equinox, General Motors' GMC division used the Chevrolet Equinox's platform for its OEM, known as the GMC Terrain (the American kind because the Saudi Arabian GMC Terrain is a rebadged Opel Antara).





Much ado from that, the GMC Terrain is the replacement of the Isuzu Ascender and the Pontiac Torrent, and it shares the same platform as the new Equinox from Chevrolet. Despite the different exterior sides of the new Equinox and the GMC Terrain, these shapes came the same thing, just like the Chevrolet Suburban/Tahoe in which the GMC Yukon/Yukon Denali and the Cadillac Escalade shared the same body frame but filled with different strokes for these American rides. Now onto the details, both the new Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain have the available All-Wheel Drive option that gives them all-round cruising for adults on the road. The new Equinox only comes with the 2.4-litre, straight-four, engine that delivers over 184PS at the fuel economy of over 10.8km/L, while the GMC Terrain not only offers the 2.4-litre 184PS straight-four engine, but also the DOHC 3.0-litre V6 direct injection engine that delivers over 268PS at the fuel economy of over 9.1km/L. Both of these crossovers are equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission.

For peace of mind, both the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain have all the following features such as electronic parking aid, anti-lock brake system, three-point center seat belt, child safety door locks, traction control, air bags, anti-theft, tire inflation/pressure monitor, side guard door beams, and OnStar services available for American residents only.








You have to hand it to them, these premium amenities from the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain’s interior truly a grown-up quality for adults. With power windows, power door locks, power driver seat, front power lumbar support, cruise control, steering wheel with controls, illuminated vanity mirror, electrochromic mirror, and a variety of audio systems available, doubtless these crossovers truly are a premium quality touring lifestyle no matter what.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

With the full model change of the Chevrolet Equinox, and the new entry to the GMC line-up known as the Terrain, these crossovers truly deserve the premium treatment they deserved for the whole family. To bring most of these crossovers, both the Equinox and Terrain grab every attention to everyone thanks to its premium styling, premium interior and everything that is premium enough to cream the competition.
