2018 Chevrolet Equinox is the skinny supermodel of crossovers

Well, well, well... look who got a makeover this year. Welcome the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox.

The front fascia now sports a more modern look, skewing more toward the sleek lines of the Chevy Volt and Cruze. It's a good thing.

The new model is 5 inches shorter at the wheelbase and more than 3 inches shorter overall.

As an added bonus, Chevy's popular crossover lost 400 pounds for the 2018 model year, about 10 percent of last year's weight.

Currently a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is available, with 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque.

A 2.0-liter turbo engine as well as a 1.6-liter turbo diesel will be available later this year.

All-wheel drive is also available, but the drivetrain can switch to front-wheel drive at the driver's discretion.

Projector-beam headlights are standard, as well as LED daytime running lights.

The MyLink infotainment system in the Equinox is one of the easiest to use, with big tiles and intuitive menus.

The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox starts at $24,475. Keep on scrolling for more photos of this nicely appointed crossover.
