2015 Chevrolet Colorado Lancaster SC

Performance

With a range of engines to choose from, there's a new Chevy Equinox to power any excursion. One, both an energetic and a fuel-economical option, is a turbocharged 1.5-liter model capable of 170 horsepower. It's the balanced choice, and its mileage is great, clocking up to 26 mpg in a city like Matthews NC, 32 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined, according to EPA estimates. Another is a more performance-oriented 2.0-liter model, turbocharged for confident handling and ready to shell out 252 horsepower. It's a top choice among drivers who need raw power. The final engine is an available ultra-efficient 1.6-liter turbo-diesel. It goes the extra mile per gallon, achieving as much as 39 mpg highway by EPA estimates. That's a cruising range of up to 577 miles per tank. Pair any engine with a six-speed or nine-speed auto transmission and add optional selectable all-wheel drive into the mix. The result is a fellow traveler ready to best the worst Mother Nature can send its way off the Atlantic coast.
