The 2008 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell technology is a limited-production model that General Motors is using to explore fuel-cell technology, and an environmentally friendly car. Powered of Chevrolet Equinox by a hydrogen fuel-cell engine, the Fuel Cell model otherwise looks and acts much like the conventional production Equinox, which gains a pair of new models, one bent toward luxury, the other toward performance. This midsize luxury crossover seats five (Fuel Cell models only seat four) and shares its basic design with the Pontiac Torrent and Suzuki XL7. Equinox LS and LT models are joined this year by the luxury-themed LTZ and high-performance Sport. All are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The LS, LT, and LTZ have a 185-hp 3.4-liter V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Sports have a 264-hp 3.6-liter V6, 6-speed automatic transmission, firmer suspension tuning, and specific trim. Maximum towing capacity is 3500 lb. 2008 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell is available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain side airbags.
