Harley-Davidson created an entry-level motorcycle that seems impossible for those who only know the brand’s big bikes: the X440 uses a 440 cc single-cylinder engine, delivers 27 hp, 38 Nm, a declared fuel consumption of 35 km/l, and showcases a small, rational, and much more accessible Harley in India.

Mitsubishi confirms the triumphant return of a car beloved by Brazilians that was discontinued after almost 40 years, based on the Triton, 4×4, and targets rival Toyota Land Cruiser in a plan of 13 SUVs.
The SUV, set to debut in November, will be available in two versions in Brazil: RS and Activ.
While the RS will have a more sporty and urban appeal, the Activ is aimed at drivers seeking an adventurous style.
Both versions will feature all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, according to the details observed in the official video.
This marks an advancement over the North American models, which only have front-wheel drive and CVT transmission.

Cutting-Edge Technology
One of the main highlights is the connectivity. The Equinox will be the first Chevrolet model in Brazil with support for 5G technology, accompanied by the most updated MyLink multimedia center.
This promises to deliver an even more interactive experience for drivers, but there is one detail that raises questions: will it be the first model without Apple CarPlay support in the country?
This decision follows a global trend of GM, but it has not yet been confirmed for the Brazilian market. If it materializes, it could generate mixed reactions among consumers.
Proven Engine and Energy Efficiency
Under the hood, the Equinox retains the 1.5 turbo gasoline engine, already known to Brazilian consumers and praised for its efficiency. With 175 hp of power, it promises to maintain a balance between performance and consumption.
General Motors has indicated that there may be improvements in energy efficiency, possibly due to the 8-speed transmission or adjustments to the engine.
This combination could make the Equinox more competitive in an increasingly demanding market.
Renovated Design and Striking Style
The design of the Equinox has undergone a complete overhaul. The new generation adopts straighter lines and a muscular look, following the visual language of models like Montana and Trax.
At the front, the SUV features a wide grille and split headlights with LED daytime running lights at the top.
The rear maintains horizontal taillights but with a modern touch thanks to the vertical extension.
At 4.65 m in length and 2.73 m in wheelbase, the Equinox combines interior space and external presence, pleasing both families and drivers looking for a more robust vehicle.

RS and Activ Versions: Which One Suits You Best?
Each version of the Equinox brings its own identity:
Equinox RS: bets on a sporty look, with diamond-cut wheels, glossy black trim on the grille, and red details in the interior.
The seats feature the version emblem on the headrests, reinforcing the exclusive character.
Equinox Activ: prioritizes an adventurous style, with robust wheels, chrome accents on the grille, and a color palette that blends beige, gray, and orange in the interior.
Both versions offer all-wheel drive, ensuring more safety and performance on varied terrains.

Chevrolet and the Centennial in Brazil
In addition to the launch of the new Equinox, Chevrolet is preparing to celebrate 100 years of operation in Brazil in 2025.
This historical mark reinforces the automaker’s commitment to the Brazilian market, bringing innovations that meet local demands.
The new Equinox symbolizes this legacy, blending tradition and cutting-edge technology.
What to Expect from the Launch?
The official presentation of the new Equinox is expected to occur in November, when more details about prices, versions, and features will be disclosed.
Consumers eagerly await an SUV that promises to redefine the standard in the segment.
And you, do you believe that the new Chevrolet Equinox will be able to surpass its competitors in the Brazilian market?
