Easy on gas, pleasant to look at and nice to drive if, perhaps, a smidge underpowered, the Equinox is nearly the ideal compact SUV. With plenty of passenger space and flexible cargo room, few customers will want anything larger.
Ford will soon be coming out with its all-new Escape, though, which looks like it could have the Equinox on the run. We'll just have to see.
