The 2007 Chevy Equinox comes in two trim levels: the basic LS and the better-appointed LT. Both are available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). All models come with a 3.4-liter V6 and five-speed automatic transmission.
Equinox LS FWD ($22,180) and AWD ($23,680) come with air conditioning; cruise control; tilt steering; cloth upholstery; a fold-flat front passenger seat; a Multi-Flex 60/40 split rear bench seat that folds, slides, and reclines; six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio; and power windows, mirrors, and locks with remote keyless entry. Tires are Bridgestone P235/65 all-season radials on 16-inch steel wheels. Added as standard on '07 models are a driver information center and new safety features. Options for the LS include an upgraded audio system with MP3 capability ($135), OnStar communications ($1,045), deep-tinted glass ($275), and a tow package ($350). An engine block heater ($50) and carpeted floor mats ($40) are also available.
LT FWD ($22,970) and AWD ($24,470) add fog lights, carpeted floor mats, deep tinted glass, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. Mirrors, door handles, and roof-rack side rails are body-color rather than charcoal or black. Options for the LT include Package 2LT ($1,280) with an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror with temperature display and compass, six-way power driver seat adjuster with manual lumbar adjustment and map pocket, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and Bridgestone P235/60 all-season radials on 17-inch aluminum wheels.
Additional options for LT include an MP3-capable audio unit with six-CD changer ($435), seven-speaker premium audio ($325), navigation ($2,145), XM Satellite Radio ($199), a tilt-and-slide sunroof ($695), leather seats ($595), heated front seats with cloth or leather ($250), a remote starter ($190), luggage rack crossbars ($150), 17-inch chromed aluminum wheels ($850), and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system ($995).
Safety features include antilock brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, tire pressure monitor; dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags. Optional side-impact and head-curtain airbags ($395) come with a rollover sensor, so they can provide head and torso protection in a rollover as well as a side impact.
