2010 Chevrolet Equinox, and here's what I discovered while traveling through the city and suburbs.

The Equinox is positioned as a "car-like" crossover, and it replaces the previous generation, which was competent yet forgettable.

So how does this new one stack up? Well, read on.

Available in four trim levels: LS, 1LT, 2LT, and LTZ, the Equinox offers two engines. Standard is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 182 horsepower, while an optional 3.0-liter V-6 makes 264 horsepower. Both pair with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available.

My tester was an all-wheel drive LTZ with the 3.0-liter V-6. It came with standard features like ABS, an antiskid system, traction control, a rearview camera, a rear parking assist system, a power rear liftgate, fog lamps, heated front seats, a cargo net and cargo cover, cruise control, satellite radio, an uplevel audio system, a wireless cell phone link, a USB port, and steering-wheel audio controls. Base price: $29,795.
