Overview of the Chevrolet Equinox

Learn about the Chevrolet Equinox

Summary

The Chevrolet Equinox is a mid-size SUV that has been consistently rated with high safety and reliability ratings. With plenty of legroom and cargo space, the Chevrolet Equinox is a smart choice for a growing family. Enjoy a wealth of active safety features on higher trim levels, and choose from three different engine types, including diesel. For advanced safety options, we encourage you to test drive higher trim levels, as they come loaded with fancier trappings that many drivers expect from their modern vehicles.

Safety

Driver and passenger airbags are standard on all trim models, as well as brake assist—which helps you brake faster in emergencies—and the rearview camera, which has been standard on all base models since 2017. Advanced active safety features are available on higher trims, so be prepared to pay a premium for these safety specs. High-end safety features include:

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert to help you avoid colliding into cars that are in your blind spot
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, which alerts you when your car is veering out of the lane, and which also stabilizes your car
Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking, which automatically applies the brakes at low speeds if a front-end collision situation is detected.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert to help you back out of parking spaces

All the above features have gradually become available since 2016.

Interior

The interior of the Chevrolet Equinox comes with versatile rear seating, power windows and air conditioning. Interior cargo shades have been an available add-on for over 10 years, which many families appreciate for their little ones. A sun/moonroof is an optional feature on all base models and standard on higher trim levels. The rear headrests and tiny side rear window in models before 2018 significantly lower visibility. However, the 2018 model refresh does mitigate some of that.

Pros and cons of the Chevrolet Equinox
