The Equinox has proven itself as a strong retail vehicle, and GM has also increased deliveries to fleets, while retaining its sales mix of just over 15 percent to fleets and 85 percent to retail buyers. In 2013, commercial fleets took delivery of 15,006 Equinox SUVs. Government fleets added 1,702 and rental fleets added 20,317. GM increased fleet registrations to 37,025 in 2013 from 33,521 in 2012.
