Chevy Equinox Interior Guide: Features, Tech, Dimensions, & More

The new Chevy Equinox interior is a sight to behold – it comes loaded with comfort, style, tech, and versatility. When you want to drive a modern two-row SUV boasting the latest Chevrolet technologies and safety systems matched with generous cargo space and seating for up to five, get into the Equinox at your local Chevy dealer, McGee Chevrolet of Middlebury.

Experience Comfort and Convenience on Tap With the Chevrolet Equinox

The Chevy Equinox interior is adorned with appealing comforts and conveniences like heated front seats and power front-seat adjustment – both of which can be ideal for driving during crisp winters in Vermont. When you're ready to explore the various trims, our McGee Chevrolet of Middlebury can facilitate an introduction and test drive.

2027 Chevy Equinox Interior Dimensions

If you're looking for a five-seater SUV that accommodates the whole family without feeling cramped, the Chevy Equinox interior space is worth reviewing. Across its two rows, the model puts passenger comfort first, giving ample wiggle room for children who struggle to sit still and teens who want to sprawl out a little.

Here's what to expect from the Chevy Equinox this year:

• Headroom (Front/Rear): 40/39.2 inches
• Legroom (Front/Rear): 40.9/39.9 inches
• Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 57.7/55.8 inches
• Hip Room (Front/Rear): 54.2/51.7 inches

The best way to see if this kind of space suits you is to schedule a tour of a new Chevrolet Equinox at our location in Vermont.

Chevrolet Equinox Cargo Volume

Ample cargo volume is the standard with the Chevrolet Equinox interior. Up to 29.8 cubic feet of cargo volume awaits behind the rear row, which is more than enough for transporting luggage to the airport. It can accommodate the weekly grocery shopping trip with ease, too.

For additional space, you can fold the rear row to open the space to a maximum of 63.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. You won't have access to the three seats in the second row, but that can be great for parents who want to grab a few things after dropping the kids off at school.

This amount of space is similar to other vehicles in the Chevrolet lineup. A Chevy Trax Vs. Chevy Equinox comparison, for example, shows similar dimensions. However, the Trax has its place – it may be suitable for smaller families with 25.6 cubic feet of standard cargo volume, with the ability to expand to 54.1 cubic feet when you fold the second row.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox Interior Comforts

Comforts can vary depending on the different Chevy Equinox trims and configurations available. This year's model is similarly well-equipped with comforts that make it a joy to drive or ride in the rear row.

For example, those crisp winters in Vermont are mitigated by the model's standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Front-seat ventilation is available on select models to combat the summer sun, as is a two-zone climate system – single-zone is standard.

Additionally, the model offers manual adjustment for the front seats as standard features. Still, select models offer up to eight power adjustments for the driver's seat. Power lumbar support is also available.

Chevrolet Equinox Interior Conveniences

The Chevy Equinox is a specimen of the modern era, so you can rest assured it's got that edge of convenience you're looking for when driving. The Chevy Equinox Convenience Package I is a great example. It's the standard option on the entry-level edition and includes:

• Remote Start
• Driver and front passenger visors with illuminated mirrors
• Driver and front passenger heated seats
• Heated steering wheel

Convenience Package II is standard on the ACTIV model and adds power adjustability for the front row, a cabin humidity sensor, and Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers, among a host of other conveniences.

Convenience Package III is available on the ACTIV and RS models and adds even more ease with greater power adjustability for the front seats, Driver Memory Settings, and heated rear seats.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox Safety Features

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox gives you more than comfort and convenience – it offers peace of mind. This is largely thanks to its high-tech and modern safety features. These are just a few of the active and passive safety aids that come standard:

• HD Rear Vision Camera
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Reverse Automatic Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Teen Driver
• Safety Alert Seat
• Rear Park Assist
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
• Following Distance Indicator
• Passenger Sensing System
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• Side Bicyclist Alert
• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking

However, if your goal is to make driving even easier on yourself, you could opt for a higher-tier trim and benefit from even more extensive safety features. For example, Traffic Sign Recognition, HD Surround Vision, and Rear Pedestrian Alert are available on select upper-level tiers and enhance driver awareness.

Chevrolet Equinox Interior Colors & Upholstery

The interior of the Chevy Equinox provides a sleek, cohesive design. This varies depending on the configuration you're looking for. Black appointments and seating are the standard color scheme, and it pairs well with the model's standard cloth upholstery. However, you can get the entry-level LS model in Black or Artemis with Evotex trim.

On the ACTIV, a brown Maple Sugar color is the standard, and it blends wonderfully with the black accents on the dashboard. This level also comes standard with sueded microfiber seat trim.

The RS trim Evotex trim is the sole option, and it comes with Black coloration with Red accents.

Chevy Equinox EV

The Chevy Equinox EV interior is a little different from the above discussion we've been having. This all-electric model is separate from the gas-only edition and comes with its own unique trim lineup. We've highlighted some of its integral features in our visual below. When you're ready to see both models in person, our McGee Chevrolet of Middlebury team can provide a thorough tour and put you inside your preferred option for a test drive.

Expert Opinion

Scott Bell is the Vice President of Global Chevrolet at General Motors – and he's had plenty to say about the Chevrolet Equinox and its EV sibling. As to why it's so successful, Bell says designers have "taken what's been successful for Chevrolet in the past – our truck DNA – and inserted that into the latest models of Traverse and Equinox."¹ That makes it feel more capable to some drivers, particularly those who want a get-it-done edge.

As far as the EV version goes, Bell confidently addresses a big driver concern: range anxiety. "...there's not a more affordable EV in the marketplace that has 319 miles of range^1,2 – it doesn't exist. If you are looking for as much range as you can get for the dollar you're spending, there's your story. But also the styling is awesome. And the technology inside is phenomenal."¹
