Like the Equinox, the GXP gets stiffer spring rates and shocks, slightly thicker anti-roll bars, and a marginally lower ride height, which should make it handle slightly better. Front-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive on offer.

Like its GXP siblings, the Torrent offers an uncompromising balance of performance, style and comfort, and is differentiated from the standard Torrent with an aggressive stance and exterior design that includes a unique hood, a new front fascia with cooling inlets and detailed grille inserts.
Even the exhaust note resonates performance with the driver. The front suspension has a MacPherson strut design and the rear features a four-link independent layout. The front struts have internal rebound springs which improve roll stiffness and steering sensitivity, while maintaining ride comfort. Stiffer shock valving, spring rates, suspension bushing; larger, solid stabilizer bars and hydraulic power steering contribute to a more response and sporty driving experience.
Complementing the new, aggressive exterior design, the Torrent GXP sports a distinct hood, a one-inch lower stance and with lower front and rear fascias and eighteen-inch flangeless, high-polished forged aluminum five-spoke wheels. Possessing such levels of horsepower in a vehicle of this type and weight would commonly be useless and unadvisable in my mind.
The GXP copes with the power admirably, mostly because it does more than simply power out of corners. It copes with the twists, too.
I had the benefit on this first trip around our section of Milford to have a GM engineer alongside directing me. Like the rest of my Email address:.
