2023 Chevrolet Equinox review

1. Surprisingly roomy

The 2023 Equinox may be a compact SUV, but there is nothing compact about the interior space in this five-passenger crossover. With an impressive 39.9 inches of rear seat legroom, the Equinox is the perfect traveling companion for your next long weekend. Your Equinox also has a generous 29.9 cu-ft of cargo space behind the second row and up to 63.9 cu-ft of space with the rear seat folded. That means it's ready for even the most adventurous home improvement project or epic family camping excursion.

2. Sleek styling

You don't want to blend in with the sea of other crossovers, so the 2023 Equinox comes with a bevy of fun styling options to help you stand out. Whether you like your ride bright or blacked out, you'll find chrome and blackout trim packages to fit your style. Not to mention the special Midnight Edition that features gloss black wheels and a host of other cool upgrades. Want to go even sportier? Look out for the Redline Edition, which bumps the wheel size up to 19 inches and adds a great mix of red and black trim pieces inside and out. The 2023 Equinox is anything but boring.

3. Driver-focused

All trim levels of the 2023 Equinox are powered by a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine putting out 175 horsepower (a five-hp bump up from 2022) paired with a six-speed automatic, plus you'll even find available AWD. You'll also get standard driver aids like forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high beams, plus optional features like a blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors.

4. Great standard features

If you go for the base LS trim, you'll still get standard equipment like a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ connectivity and even heated side mirrors and LED headlights. The LT ramps up the list of standard comfort and convenience features, while the cool RS is one of the sportiest trim levels — along with the Midnight and Redline editions. The top-spec Premier trim adds leather upholstery, wireless device charging, a hands-free liftgate, and a whole lot more as standard. You'll be sure to find just the right 2023 Equinox to fit your needs.

5. Tons of options

Sure, you can go with the standard stuff, but the 2023 Equinox has a lot more to offer. The base trim has the option to add the LS Convenience package which will give you a power-adjustable driver's seat, upgraded multi-color driver information display, and rear privacy glass. Check out the optional Confidence & Convenience package for the LT trim to get dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and more! Even the top trim Premier has more available goodies to look out for like ventilated front seats, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera system, and navigation just to name a few.
