Chevrolet Equinox
The bowtie brand's compact crossover gets a refresh this year, with a redesigned front end, revised taillights and new alloy wheel designs. The Equinox's cockpit gets an updated dashboard centre stack as well as a standard seven-inch touchscreen and rearview camera. Front-wheel and all-wheel drivetrains are offered once again, in addition to the choice between a 182-horsepower, 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine and a 301-horsepower, 3.6-litre V6. Equipped with the latter, the 2016 Equinox can tow up to 1,588 kg.
