2010 Chevrolet Equinox Trims and Specs

A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine powers the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LS, and with the six-speed automatic transmission, its aim is maximum efficiency. There are numerous power and convenience features included, like mirrors, windows, and door locks with remote keyless entry, air conditioning and cruise control, a tachometer, and trip computer. There’s a satellite-ready CD/MP3 player with a digital-media player connection and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel in front of the driver’s bucket seat, which offers height adjustability and lumbar adjustment. You’ll also get one year of OnStar service, a center console, illuminated visor mirrors, variable-intermittent front wipers, and a rear wiper and washer combination with a rear defogger. Safety features include daytime running and automatic headlights, traction and hill ascent control, dual front, front-side, and curtain-side airbags, antilock four-wheel disc brakes with brake assist behind the 17-inch alloys, and an anti-skid system.

How did you ever survive without heated power mirrors? Floor mats? Roof rails? All this, plus a compass and rear privacy glass, can be yours in the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LT1. Conspicuously absent from lower trims, these features draw the distinction that makes the LT1 what it is. You’ll also get power windows and doors, remote keyless entry, tachometer, a trip computer, and cruise control. The driver enjoys a bucket seat with height and lumbar adjustability, as well as a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and a center console. Passengers get air conditioning, illuminated visor mirrors, and a satellite-ready CD and MP3 player, equipped with a digital-media player connection and one year of OnStar service. It’s powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a six-speed automatic, as are all trims up to this point, but here you get the option of a 3.0-liter V6. Traction and hill ascent control are standard, as are anti-skid and four-wheel antilock disc brakes. It all rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels and comes with six standard airbags, daytime running lights, and automatic headlights.

With the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LS AWD, you get the added stability of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system to complement the traction/hill ascent control and anti-skid systems already standard with the Equinox. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic is still the powertrain of choice here, but the LS AWD is no stripped model. For the driver, there’s a bucket seat with height and lumbar adjustment, as well as a tilt and telescoping steering wheel. There’s a tachometer, trip computer, and cruise control, not to mention variable-intermittent front wipers, a rear wiper and washer, and a rear defogger, as well as a center console. There are also illuminated visor mirrors, air conditioning, and a satellite-ready CD and MP3 player that comes with a digital-media player connection and one year of OnStar service. Safety comes via six standard airbags, daytime running and automatic headlights, and antilock four-wheel disc brakes with brake assist behind 17-inch alloy wheels.

With its standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or optional 3.0-liter V6, six-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive system, the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LT1 AWD is geared more for efficiency and stability than off-road prowess, even with its traction control, anti-skid, and hill ascent control. That shouldn’t stop you from driving right up on the grass to your campsite, though. Pile up your sleeping bags and tent on the roof rails, and don’t worry about getting lost. You’ve got a compass and trip computer, not to mention rear privacy glass, so no one can see all that choice gear you brought. Heated power mirrors mean you’ll still be able to see on cold, frosty mornings, and power windows and door locks should do their part to keep bears out. Remote keyless entry means you won’t have to fumble with your keys when looking for a midnight snack, and illuminated visor mirrors allow you to check your bug bites even at night. If you get bored, there’s a satellite-ready CD and MP3 player, with a digital-media player connection so everyone can get a turn listening to their favorite music. If you get in trouble, one year of OnStar service is included as well. No need to swelter on the ride up, since air conditioning is standard, and if you get rained out, there are variable-intermittent front wipers and a rear wiper and washer combo with defogger to handle the inclement weather. For the ride home, the driver’s seat has height and lumbar adjustability and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, in case your back isn’t up for the drive. 17-inch alloy wheels allow style with substance in the form of four-wheel antilock disc brakes, not to mention a brake assist system. There are dual front, front-side, and curtain-side airbags, along with daytime running lights and automatic headlights.

The LT2 package for the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox adds a lot of luxury. By checking that option, you get an 8-way power driver’s seat and a Pioneer sound system with iPod adapter, Bluetooth, and controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Air conditioning is upgraded to automatic climate control, and a rearview camera is added as well as an automatically dimming rearview. Foglights are added to the daytime running lights and automatic headlights, and remote engine start is added to the power windows, heated power mirrors, power doors, and remote keyless entry. Otherwise, the features are the same. It’s powered by a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, with the option of a 3.0-liter V6. The steering wheel is a tilt and telescoping unit, and the driver also gets a tachometer, trip computer, compass, and cruise control. Illuminated visor mirrors are included as well as a center console, roof rails, and front and rear wipers and washers, with a rear defogger. Safety comes from dual front, front-side and curtain-side airbags, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, traction and hill ascent control, and an anti-skid system.

With the luxury of the LT2 package and the confidence of all four 17-inch alloy wheels being powered, the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LT2 AWD is a balanced offering. The standard engine is a 2.4-liter four cylinder, but a 3.0-liter V6 is optional, both coming with a six-speed automatic. Visibility won’t be an issue, with foglights, daytime running lights, automatic headlights, illuminated visor mirrors, an automatically dimming rearview, and a rearview camera. Not enough? Variable-intermittent front wipers and a rear wiper and washer combination work with a rear defogger to keep things clear. In addition to the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, stability is added through traction control, hill ascent control, anti-skid, and four-wheel antilock brakes with brake assist. For comfort, there’s automatic climate control and a tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls for the Pioneer sound system, which comes with an iPod adapter and Bluetooth. There’s also an 8-way power driver’s seat, tachometer, trip computer, cruise control, center console, and a compass. Look to dual front, front-side, and curtain side airbags for safety.

The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ offers you the choice of a 2.4-liter four- or 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, both mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Here you get leather upholstery to match the leather-wrapped, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, which also holds controls for the Pioneer sound system with iPod adapter and Bluetooth. The driver’s seat has 8-way power and a memory system, which also governs the heated power mirrors. Further power features include windows, door locks, and remote keyless entry and start. The liftgate is also powered and complements the rear tinted glass and cargo cover that provide so much privacy. The front seats are heated, but automatic climate control will make sure things stay nice and temperate. A rearview camera is joined here by a rear-obstacle-detection system, in case your eyes (and mirrors) fail you. There are also daytime running lights, foglights, automatic headlights, and even an automatically dimming rearview to keep you out of the dark. Variable-intermittent front wipers and a rear wiper and washer combination with a defogger help there a bit as well, and illuminated visor mirrors don’t hurt, either. Don’t forget all the driver amenities like a tachometer and trip computer, cruise control, and compass. Safety is well taken care of, with antilock four-wheel disc brakes, traction and hill ascent control, anti-skid, and six standard airbags.

The top-tier trim of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is the LTZ AWD, offering four-wheel power from its 2.4-liter four or optional 3.0-liter V6 engine. Either is paired with a six-speed automatic and gets the benefit of traction control. There is full leather throughout, and the front bucket seats are heated with 8-way power for the driver. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is a tilt and telescoping unit, but is not included in the memory system, which governs the seat and the heated power mirrors. Further power features include a power liftgate, windows, doors, and remote keyless entry and start. The Pioneer sound system has an integrated iPod adapter, Bluetooth, and controls on the steering wheel. The driver also gets a tachometer and trip computer, cruise control, compass, and an automatically dimming rearview. There’s rear privacy glass and a cargo cover, as well as roof rails and foglights. Daytime running lights and automatic headlights mean you don’t even have to think about turning them on and off, even when using the variable-intermittent front wipers. Rear glass is covered by a wiper and washer combination with a defogger. Safety features include hill ascent control, anti-skid, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, and six standard airbags.
