With other options popping up such as the 2018 Mazda CX-5, Chevy is full aware that consumers have many choices, and is also fully aware of the high level of skepticism that abounds with current diesel models. The various design elements used for the Equinox had the consumer in mind who really "wants it all," and was meant to be a versatile crossover that offers the complete package for any savvy driver.

When the Equinox is traveling below 50 mph, and the system senses that a front-end collision may occur, Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking can quickly reduce the severity level of any crash.

If you happen to unintentionally drift from your lane, Available Land Keep Assist can help you with alerts, and gentle turns on the steering wheel to gradually get your vehicle back in place. Rear Cross Traffic Alert is one of our personal favorites in the safety feature department: it utilizes radar sensors to monitor approaching traffic passing behind the vehicle, and avidly provides notifications through a screen with a rear vision camera. The available Surround Vision feature gives you a bird's eye view of your vehicle, on the 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen.
