How much room can a compact SUV really offer? The Chevrolet Equinox offers 104.3 cubic feet of passenger volume, providing five occupants with space that rivals that of larger crossovers. The redesigned cabin pairs that roominess with modern technology, refined seating materials, and a clean, driver-focused dashboard. Whether the destination is a daily commute or a weekend trip, the interior build keeps everyone comfortable and connected.
This article discusses:
Trim Interiors at a Glance
Each Equinox trim shapes the cabin around a different driver. The LT keeps things practical and budget-friendly, the RS leans sporty and upscale with contrast stitching, and the ACTIV adds rugged style for weekend adventures. The table below compares interior highlights across the three to help narrow the choice.
| Feature | LT | RS | ACTIV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seating material | Cloth (Evotex available) | Evotex synthetic leather | Sueded microfiber |
| Power driver’s seat | Available | 8-way with lumbar | 8-way with lumbar |
| Dual-zone climate control | Available | Standard | Standard |
| Interior character | Clean and functional | Athletic and polished | Robust and refined |
Chevrolet Equinox Interior Dimensions and Cargo Space
Space defines the Equinox interior. The two-row cabin seats five, and second-row passengers enjoy nearly as much head, leg, and shoulder room as those up front.

That balance keeps the Equinox competitive among compact SUVs and comfortable for families on longer drives. Behind the rear seats sits a usable cargo hold, and folding the 60/40 split-folding bench expands that room well beyond the segment norm for larger loads.

Comfort and Upholstery
Comfort starts with the seats. The Equinox offers three upholstery surfaces across its lineup: durable cloth, Evotex synthetic leather, and sueded microfiber.
Heated front seats come standard on every trim, and an available eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support helps you settle into an ideal position. Active noise cancellation keeps the cabin quiet at highway speeds, so conversation and music come through clearly.
