NEW YORK, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- At this year's Detroit Auto Show, nearly 50 cars made their debut and not a single one was a gasoline powered pick-up or truck based SUV. Rather, crossovers were in the main spotlight.

Built on lighter car frames and getting better fuel economy - crossovers like the RAV-4 from Toyota and the Honda CR-V are expected to play a big part in the future, as they replace heavier truck-based, SUVs, while maintaining the style, flexibility and accommodation that made them so popular over the last 15 years.

In Detroit, Chevrolet unveiled a completely redesigned Equinox crossover, with lighter materials, improved aerodynamics and a brand new six-speed, direct inject 4-cylinder engine that helps the roomy, Equinox reach 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Ahead of the curve on "fuel solutions," Chevrolet has eight models that get 30 mpg on the highway. The new Equinox will make nine when it arrives in showrooms this summer - and the Equinox is expected to lead the Crossover segment in highway fuel economy.
