And if you fold the rear seats, you get 1943 liters. Impresses the ground clearance - as much as 20.1 centimeters. But this is not all its features.

"Chevrolet Equinox" is good not only for its exterior design, but also for its interior. First of all, an ergonomic instrument panel, a central center armrest (on which you can even put a laptop), and a glove box are thrown into the eye. In the cabin there are a lot of different glove boxes and compartments. But the main highlight is an intelligent system that itself includes ventilation, air conditioning and heated seats, deciding that this should be activated by analyzing the temperature regime from the outside.

Features and specifications

Models "Equinox" - these crossovers "Chevrolet", which are rightfully considered popular in many ways due to its rich configuration and characteristics. The off-road vehicle is equipped with anti-theft system, CZ with remote control, XM-radio, satellite system called On-Star, on-board computer, stabilization system, trailer.

The cost starts from 23 thousand dollars. The all-wheel drive version with the maximum equipment will cost $ 30,000.

Tracker

Talking about the best crossovers "Chevrolet", we can not fail to note this model. This is not an SUV. Chevrolet Tracker - a mini-crossover, which was released in 2013. It is interesting that in the US it is not for sale. After all, there is a popular model brother, appeared on the car market before, and this is Buick Encore.

Trax, also called this mini-crossover from Chevrolet, is offered with three different engines. Each of them is 4-cylinder, but of different volume. The first is a 1.4-liter turbo-petrol. The second one is atmospheric, with a volume of 1.6 liters. And the third one is a 1.7-liter turbodiesel. Both 6-band "automatic machines" and 5, 6-speed manual transmissions are offered.

The front is fitted with independent springs "McPherson". Rear - semi-independent torsion suspension. The steering wheel is equipped with an electric booster. Front are disc vented brakes, and behind - drum. These are the main technical characteristics of the Chevrolet Tracker model. But it is worth noting the attention to some more nuances concerning this car.

Equipment

The Trax model exists in four trim levels. The basic version boasts air-conditioning, electric mirrors and glasses, a 4-speaker audio system and a salon in the fabric finish. In more expensive models, you can see leather seats, cruise control and a "start-stop" system. In addition, in expensive versions will be a powerful system Mylink, which comes with a 7-inch display, as well as a seven-channel audio system Bose.

What about security? Crossover "Chevrolet" has always been reliable. Trax confirms this once again. Even in basic equipment, there are 6 airbags, as well as ESP and ABS systems. For an additional fee, HAS, TSA, and HDC are offered. By the way, according to the results of Euro NCAP tests, the model received 5 stars. But the main advantage that the "Chevrolet Tracker" crossover boasts is its price. It starts with a mark of 1 111 000 rubles, which is not very much for an SUV.

Captiva

This SUV appeared in 2006. It's not a huge jeep with aggressive design, but a compact SUV car. And if we talk about the most popular crossovers "Chevrolet", then this model is sure to enter the list.

The design of the model is quite attractive and manly. In the middle of a powerful radiator grille, the company's Chevrolet emblem flaunts. Captiva looks very unusual, and a special charm gives it the original fog lights. The rear part also looks good due to the beautiful optics and exhaust pipes.

The interior is thought over to trifles. There is nothing superfluous. Of course, in the decoration was used plastic, but it is of high quality. Pleases easy-to-read dashboard. All control buttons are at hand, and complements the atmosphere finish, made for aluminum and wood. Pleases and steering wheel, because it can be adjusted both in height and in the angle of inclination. And the salon easily accommodates seven people, and this is its main advantage. Except for the trunk, of course. The volume of this compartment with the folded rear row will be 1565 liters.

Safety and engine

In the basic configuration of the car Chevrolet Captiva there are six airbags, as well as an ESP (Dynamic Stabilization). Still there is an electropackage, the conditioner, CD / MP3 and 17-inch cast disks.

The 2006 model exists in three versions - with two petrol and one diesel engine. True, the latest version in Russia is not for sale. But the potential buyer can choose between two all-wheel drive cars, one of which is aggregated by a 2.4-liter 136-horsepower engine and the other with a 6-cylinder 230-liter motor. from. And a volume of 3.2 liters. PPC is also offered to choose - either "mechanics" or "automatic", each with 5 gears.

It is interesting that in the mode of normal driving around the city or highway the rear wheels are not involved. They are connected automatically when the driving wheels start to go with a slip.

What about the more modern models? The 2013 version is available to Russian buyers in two versions. One - 4-cylinder, 2.4-liter. Its power is 167 liters. from. And the second - 3-liter, 6-cylinder. It produces 249 liters. from. Interestingly, the body of the novelty began to install a solid steel frame, which made the model even safer.

Orlando

Another model that deserves attention. Crossover "Chevrolet Orlando" is a 5-door compact car belonging to family cars. This model is manufactured by General Motors. The base for the car was the Chevrolet Cruze platform. In 2008, this machine was introduced to the public as a concept car, and in the series it was released in 2010.

This model has a very original and memorable design. This can be seen by looking at the photo provided below. In this case, a person immediately realizes that before him is "Chevrolet". Recognizable radiator grille produces "family" features. In general, designers, working on the shape of the compact, tried to give it a cubic form, especially the back part. And they clearly succeeded.

Interestingly, there are 30 different combinations, how to install the chairs. And the side seats can not only be folded, but also tilted forward. In the cabin there are a lot of different compartments and niches, which is very prudent. There are even two cupholders in the center console, pockets for bottles and a holder for coins. And there is a panoramic roof that provides additional lighting.

What's under the hood?

The family compact-van "Orlando" under the hood is 141-strong 1.8-liter unit. Although, this is only one of several. Still popular is the model with a diesel 2-liter engine for 131 liters. from. But the most powerful version is an aggregate producing 163 liters. from. It is also diesel and has a volume of 2 liters.

MacPherson stands in front, and behind it is a semi-independent suspension. Three different configurations are offered. In the database there is an MKPP, 4 airbags, an audio system, heated seats and an electric package for side mirrors. I must say that this is a fairly popular model of Chevrolet. Crossovers, the price of which starts from 700 000 rubles, simply can not be unclaimed.

Trailblazer

Another crossover that deserves attention. His story began exactly 15 years ago, in 2001. And, despite the fairly solid "age", this machine still has not lost its freshness of design. Balanced proportions are what Chevrolet models have always been famous for. Crossovers, the model range of which is quite wide, have their own peculiarities. Everyone has his own "zest". And here at Trailblazer this is the crossed out lighting in the front. The very feature that adds an originality to the car.

The interior was designed taking into account all the requirements of modern motorists. Armchairs comfortable and wide, the center console clearly distinguishes the driver's seat from the passenger. By the way, there is enough space for everyone inside. 7 people can fit easily.

It is also worth noting that the volume of the luggage compartment is 2.84 cubic meters, if you add the 2 nd and 3 rd row. And this makes him not only an ideal vehicle for travel, but also an assistant in the implementation of relocation to a new location.

Power unit

Finally - a few words about the model of Trailblazer 2013. Under its hood is a powerful 391-strong 8-cylinder engine. This powerful SUV accelerates to "hundreds" in just 5.7 seconds. And for Russian buyers it makes even more attractive ground clearance - 22 centimeters.
