The Chevrolet Equinox boasts plenty of room inside for five adults, with a handy Multi-Flex seating system that provides eight inches of fore-and-aft travel for the rear bench seat and a folding front passenger seatback to optimize either occupant comfort or cargo carrying capacity. Additionally, the height-adjustable cargo shelf serves double duty, able to function as either a picnic table or a cargo cover. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, automatic headlights and power door locks. Daytime running lights, a vehicle theft control system, and 16-inch wheels with 235/65 Bridgestone tires are also included on all Equinoxes. Optional are 16-inch alloy wheels or 17-inch alloys with 235/60 rubber. Other options include roof-rail side curtain airbags, premium sound with an MP3 player and an in-dash six-CD changer, XM satellite radio, OnStar telematics, heated front seats with driver-side power adjustment, leather upholstery, and a power moonroof. Wisely, designers have eschewed the body cladding, simulated brush bars and big-knobbed tires that can ruin the appearance of other crossover vehicles. The Chevy Equinox is cleanly styled, and is instantly recognizable as a Chevrolet. The interior borrows more from its Saturn VUE cousin that the exterior, with the simple gauge cluster and jutting transmission selector giving away the Equinox's VUE DNA.
