2021 Chevrolet Equinox Interior and Cargo

The L and LS trims come with a dreary Medium Ash Gray upholstery as standard. The LT can be ordered with Jet Black upholstery, but while this doesn't actually increase the price, it does require making $3,395 of changes first. The Premier has perforated leather as standard in three color options: Medium Ash, Jet Black, or a combination of Jet Black and Brandy (light brown). The cabin feels solid, but there is an unwelcome contrast between the softer upholstery and the hard plastics on the dash and door panels.

With all the seats in place, the Equinox offers 29.9 cubic feet of cargo space. That's a few cubes below par but still enough to accommodate day-to-day activities or a month's worth of groceries. With the back seats folded down in a 60/40 split, cargo capacity increases to 63.9 cubic feet. That's plenty of space for those odd occasions when you need to haul something big.

Cabin storage is impressive, as the Equinox comes standard with an abundance of cupholders, small bins, and trays.

The base L trim may only have a few comforts and conveniences, but it's safety suite is nothing to scoff at. The list includes cruise control, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, a rearview camera, lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, a teen driver system, keyless entry, manual air-conditioning, two 12-volt outlets, and a manual tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.

The LS doesn't add much extra as standard - namely a spare wheel and tire and floor mats - but it does allow for far more customization from packages and accessories. The LT includes HID headlights, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, SiriusXM, and access to the all-new Leather Package. The Premier adds remote start, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, driver-seat memory, lane change and blind-spot alert, rear park assist and rear cross-traffic alert, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a hands-free power liftgate.

L、LS、LT标准配备7英寸touchscreen interface with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. You can also create a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot and charge devices from any of the four USB ports. The seven-inch infotainment is coupled to a six-speaker sound system. The Premier has an eight-inch version of the same infotainment system, as well as a wireless charging pad, and USB data ports with an SD card reader. If you're willing to fork out an additional $1,995 to keep the kids gruntled, there's an available rear-seat entertainment system, too.
