Browse DFW Car Central's inventory to check out the new 2012 Equinox today.

Introduced in 2004, the Equinox was the first crossover SUV produced by Chevrolet. It has received several upgrades, but one of the most significant occurred last year when the Equinox received a full redesign. The Chevrolet Equinox 2011 stood out with its well thought out detailing and exquisite new styling. Accents like bold wheel arches and a two-tiered grille were evocative of the popular Traverse and Malibu, but the Equinox still sported its own edgy style. Like the Chevy Equinox 2011, the 2012 model is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. You can find the 2012 Chevy Equinox in ravishing colors like Twilight Blue Metallic, Summit White, Silver Ice Metallic and Black Granite Metallic.

The base LS trim is readily equipped with cruise control, full power accessories, Bluetooth, OnStar, satellite radio and other features that provide entertainment and convenience. The LT trim is broken into a subset: the 1LT and 2LT. The Equinox 1LT is outfitted with numerous amenities including a rearview camera, heated outside mirrors and a premium sound system with a seven-inch touchscreen. The 2LT steps it up a notch with remote start, heated front seats, automatic climate control, an auto-dimming mirror and more. Dallas-Ft. Worth Chevrolet shoppers can also choose the top-level LTZ trim. The Equinox LTZ comes standard with several of the above mentioned features and also includes automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, driver memory functions, a power liftgate and high-quality perforated leather upholstery.

Dallas-Ft. Worth Chevrolet shoppers will be impressed by the 2012 Chevy Equinox's fuel economy and powertrain options. A 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder good for 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque is standard equipment. A front-wheel drive four-cylinder Equinox has an EPA highway economy estimate of 32 mpg. Although there might be several cars that can achieve 32 mpg highway, there are very few compact crossovers that can. For an added bonus in fuel savings, there's an 'Eco' mode on the four-cylinder models that changes shift points and reduces the idle speed to further conserve fuel. A 3.0-liter V6 option is also available on all trims except the LS. The V6 generates 264-hp and 222 lb.-ft. of torque. This high-power engine utilizes dual overhead camshafts with variable valve timing and sports direct injection to boost economy. Both engines come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is optional.
