With time, comes evolution. We improve upon ourselves and the things we make by learning from our past work. The oblique and unrefined become replaced by newer, smarter counterparts. That’s why, when designing the Chevy Equinox, Chevy kept the best parts of the Equinox’s past, but also kept an SUV-sized eye on the future.

With these five new features, the Chevy Equinox is an evolution all its own.

Up, Up And…

The mark of a good feature is one you don’t even notice. Simply place your foot under the rear bumper of your Equinox and the liftgate will automatically open and rise up to your desired height. That’s right! Not only is the liftgate activated via a simple wave of your foot, but you can also set how high the liftgate opens. It’s perfect for when you want to max out the height for extra headspace or when you need to bring it down for low clearance.

Explore Metro Detroit in a vehicle built for discovery. Chevy Equinox combines sleek looks, maximum comfort and cutting edge entertainment to navigate your city in style.

More Stuff, More Simply

2018 Equinox Cargo Space 768x568

Fit more stuff, more simply in the all-new 2018 Chevy Equinox.

With the Chevy Equinox comes the capability to fold the rear seats all the way down, giving you even more space for whatever life throws at you. Working on a new hardware project and need to transport materials? Going on a long camping trip? Bringing your dogs with you? With flat-folding rear seats, you’ll be able to store more stuff, more simply.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

When it rains, it pours. With the Chevy Equinox, having to keep a part of your brain focused on maintaining an appropriate wiper speed to the changing frequency of rain is a thing of the past. Rain-sensing technology will notice when it’s raining and adjust wiper-speed to the degree of precipitation, giving you more brain capacity to focus on the road ahead.

A Mountain of Space for a Mountain of Stuff
