2014 Chevrolet Equinox review
1. Comfortable, roomy seating
Whether you need space to stretch your legs, install rear-facing car seats, or cart around a carload of teens, the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox has the space you need. In the front, the 2014 Equinox has 41.2 inches of legroom, while the back seats have 39.9 inches. Reclining rear seats come standard, so everyone can stay comfortable no matter how long the drive.
2. Towing capacity
The 2014 Chevy Equinox may be a crossover, but it's pretty mighty, too. With the available 3.6L V6 engine, the 2014 Chevy Equinox can tow up to an estimated 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Standard features like Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist make it easier to tow a trailer, small RV, or boat. This means your next wilderness getaway can include your toys, too.3. Space for all your gear
Whether you're bringing the kids and dogs to the park or packing up for a solo camping weekend, the 2014 Chevy Equinox has enough cargo space for your next adventure. The crossover has 31.5 cu-ft of cargo space, increasing to 63.7 cu-ft when you fold the back seats flat. If you need more space, look for an Equinox with optional roof racks.
4. Upscale features
If you want a taste of luxury, the 2014 Chevy Equinox can provide it. The top-spec LTZ trim has leather seats, chrome accents, and an available sunroof. The LTZ also comes standard with a Pioneer® premium eight-speaker sound system with a subwoofer and amplifier; and has an optional rear-seat entertainment system.
5. Sized for city living
While the Chevy Equinox stands out for its roomy interior, it's a relatively small SUV. That makes it a great option if you live in the city or regularly commute to one. You'll have no problem sliding the 2014 Equinox into a parallel parking space or navigating through a traffic jam.
