Chantilly, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/14/2011 -- Chantilly Chevy shoppers looking for an SUV with the best combination of features and fuel-efficiency can find exactly what they’re looking for at the leading Chevy dealer in VA. Pohanka Chevrolet is excited to offer car shoppers with their next great SUV, the 2011 Chevy Equinox.

Chantilly Chevy drivers will appreciate all that this equipped SUV has to offer, including its best-in-segment highway fuel economy available with the Ecotec 2.4L engine. The standard 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine produces 182 horsepower. The available 3.0L V-6 engine is rated at 264 horsepower, which delivers an EPA-estimated 25 mpg highway and 17 mpg city.

Safety is a key feature on the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox as well, something that Chantilly Chevy drivers will appreciate. Standard safety equipment includes dual frontal air bags, head curtain side air bags, pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags and four-wheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control.

Available in LS, LT and LTZ trims at Pohanka Chevrolet, the Equinox compliments its styling and fuel efficiency with attention to detail and unexpected features.

Chantilly Chevy drivers will love the technology options that are available in the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. With features such as a seven-inch touch-screen navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, rear-seat DVD-based entertainment system with two independent screens, rear-vision camera system and premium audio systems available, drivers can tailor their Equinox to their driving needs.

The interior was designed with practicality as well. It includes a number of storage bins- an oversized glove box, a closed storage bin in the instrument panel above the center stack and closed storage under the center armrest large enough for a laptop computer.

A “floating” center stack houses many ergonomic comfort and convenience controls. Contemporary, ice-blue ambient lighting – featured within and surrounding the center stack, encircling the center-console cupholders and within the door pull cups – accentuates the cabin and provides an upscale-looking environment. The front and rear seats, which include cloth and perforated leather-trimmed offerings for higher trim levels, are designed for best-in-class comfort. For 2011, the 2LT model includes standard heated cloth seats and a compass is added to the LS models.

Chantilly Chevy drivers will find winter driving will be made more enjoyable with the available “Smart” remote starting system that also activates the HVAC system and heated seats. The Equinox is also equipped with OnStar, which includes Directions and Connections service and XM Satellite Radio.

The exterior features of the Equinox are as useful as they are stylish. The exterior features a multi-dimensional hood and wraparound rear side glass and a sleeker profile that helps improve aerodynamic performance.
The fuel-efficient 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is available now at the premier Chantilly Chevy dealer, Pohanka Chevrolet. For more information on the Equinox, contact the dealership at 888-235-8742.
