Thanks to its spacious cabin, powerful and efficient performance, variety of trim levels and just-right-for-most-folks size, make the 2009 Chevy Equinox one of the best crossover SUV. 

Roomy and versatile cabin, something-for-everyone lineup, excellent crash test scores. The Chevrolet Equinox also gained side curtain airbags and satellite radio as a standard feature.

Respectable performance along with decent fuel efficiency highlight the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox's strong points, which also include a space-efficient design, a versatile cabin, a comfortable ride and strong crash test scores. A key feature is the adjustable split rear seat design -- those seats can slide fore and aft to boost cargo capacity or rear legroom as needed.

Neither as small as the true compact SUVs nor as ungainly as the larger midsize utes, the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox strikes many as being just the right size. Though some rivals offer third-row seats, these marketing ploys are typically useful only for kids no bigger than their Barbie and WWE dolls. The Equinox plays a more honest game, instead offering expandable space for second-row passengers.
