Good Grades: Attractive styling, good low end acceleration from the 2.4 liter, 182 hp four-cylinder engine, good braking, solid ergonomics, comfortable seats (and roomy rear seats), reasonable cargo space, and good fuel economy for a small CUV (22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway).

Bad Grades: Strange seat materials, numb steering feel, odd dash textures.

Final Grade: The Equinox is one of the better looking small CUV’s on the market today.
Plus, you can buy it in four-cylinder or six-cylinder form. GM has produced a worthy vehicle that should be competitive in its market segment—if its reliability is solid.

The Car Exam Grade: B+

Base MSRP: $23,360 (including destination charge)
