Choosing an Equinox engine option really depends on how you'll use it. For urban driving and highway cruising, the 1.5L turbo will do quite nicely. Ditto for the 1.6L turbo diesel that goes to the front of the class for open-road fuel economy. If having some fun trumps mileage concerns, the 2.0-liter will take care of that. With the engine choice made, we'd go with the LT trim and add the Confidence and Convenience Package with all its driver-assist/safety technology.
