2011 Chevrolet Equinox AWD 3.0 L V6 0-60

First video of a 2nd gen with the V6.
2011 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ, AWD, with the 3.0L Direct-Injected, VVT V6 that makes 264HP (6,950RPM), and 222lb/ft of torque (5100RPM). It is the AWD model, and the LTZ trim that has a few extras, including heavy 18" rims, so it may be a little slower than the less-expensive models.

Note that the equinox is the same vehicle as the GMC terrain, with different styling.

Vehicle assembled at GM's CAMI assembly, in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada.

slowwww for a v6

[rudolphna54]

@brucenash 0-60 in about 8 seconds for a 3,500lb SUV is slow? Okay.

[brucenash]

@rudolphna54 first of all its 9 seconds, and has poor fuel economy, no off road worthy, and its just a chevrolet... sorry but i dont see the point of buying it...

[rudolphna54]

@brucenash 9 seconds on a car with 880 miles, it's not completely broken in. Anyway, we average 19mpg in everyday driving, and we got 25mpg on a 1,200 mile trip, at 75mph, with temps in the 30s and 40s. That's not that bad considering 265HP V6 and AWD, loaded down with 5 people, luggage, and a dog. Also, it's not for off road, it's for comfortably hauling people on long trips, which it does perfectly. You want off-road, buy a Jeep.

its the same as a saturn vue

[rudolphna54]

@juan92r No, the Vue never used this engine. The L66 V6 used in later model Vues was a 3.5L unit from Honda. The 3.0L used in earlier Vues was an Opel design, built in England and only made 180HP. This is the brand new 3.0L GM High Feature-V6 engine, DOHC 24V with VVT, and Direct Injection, built in St. Catharines, Canada.
