According to a memo sent out this morning from Chevy spokesman Brian Goebel the latest internal tests of the new 2010 Chevy Equinox has it running at an impressive 32 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city.

The tests were done on the four-cylinder version of the Chevy Equinox that uses the new 2.4 liter direct injected EcoTec engine. It was originally expected to top out at 30 mpg but the engineers have squeaked a little more out of it in the last few months.

This puts the Equinox well ahead of comparable vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 that gets 22 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway or the Honda CR-V, which gets 20 in the city and 27 on the highway.

The 2010 Chevy Equinox should be available for purchase this June.
