Of course, GM uses its technical platform called D2 for another bunch of cars, yet a clear identity of the Equinox model series had crystallized. Yet, things started to get better, thanks to a better personalized design and to the addition of a six-cylinder engines.įinally, the third generation of the Chevrolet Equinox was presented in 2016, on the autumnal equinox – the 22nd of September – and, beyond any possible confusion, it really looked like a Chevrolet compact SUV. That technical platform, called Theta, was taken over for the second generation of the Equinox in 2009.
The first generation of the Equinox used to share its technical platform and, visibly, some body parts with the Saturn Vue and Pontiac Torrent (come on, Pontiac SUVs should have never happened!) and the Suzuki XL-7.
Yet, something really wrong happened back then: rushing to meet the growing demand for compact SUVs, the GM management had chosen a compromise path. Its career started with the 2005 model year. The Chevrolet Equinox is particularly relevant seen from this perspective. As Heraclitus said: “ The only constant in life is change.” The already mentioned model series names are still there because their concepts adapted to change.īut also new concepts came to fulfill the requirements of the third millennium way of life in the western hemisphere. Yet, things cannot just stay the same forever. Some of its model series have become legendary through the decades and generations: Malibu, Camaro, Corvette, Blazer – just to name some of them. Chevrolet is one of those pillar brands of the American automobile industry.
