The Equinox is low enough to the ground that all three of my children, ages 8, 10 and 12, could climb in and out fairly easily. It meets a nice, modern, androgynous middle ground.

It has smoothed-out lines without being too feminine or curvaceous. It manages to look upbeat and sporty without feeling testosterone-laden. The Chevrolet Equinox is one of the few vehicles out there that appeals aesthetically to everyone in my family - or at least wasn’t overtly offensive to either my husband or to me. If you’re in the market for something like the Equinox, you may also want to check out the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Kia Sportage. See the 20 models compared side by side here. The 2013 version hasn’t changed much since the past model year, the only major change being the addition of that available 3.6-liter V-6 engine, a step up from the entry-level 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.

I drove the well-equipped AWD LTZ with a new 3.6-liter V-6 engine, plus optional MyLink radio with navigation. Shoppers can choose between FWD and AWD in any of the Chevrolet Equinox trim levels, which include LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ (see all-wheel-drive versions side-by-side here). When climbing in for the first time, my 10-year-old daughter exclaimed, “Mom, this is the coolest car ever! Can we pretty please keep it?” The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is a capable crossover SUV with a sliding rear seat that can flex and grow with your family, draping occupants in an interior that’s more luxurious and spacious-feeling than many of its body-type competitors.
