Compact SUVs are well regarded and the Chevrolet Equinox/Pontiac Torrent duo are not exceptions. Often accompanied by substantial purchase rebates, they offer a large interior and a style pleasing to many. Two V6 engines are proposed: 185 horsepower 3.4-litre and 264 horsepower 3.6-litre engines. It the buyer does not choose the all-wheel drive package; he gets a front-wheel drive.
