2023 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox LT is designed for parents researching safe, practical family vehicles, comfortably accommodating up to three car seats across its rear bench thanks to wide seat bases and clearly marked LATCH anchors. Parents with young children or families with teens will appreciate how the Equinox balances versatility and comfort. The rear seatâs flat cushion and accessible anchors make installing forward- and rear-facing car seats straightforward, while ample space allows older kids or teens to ride comfortably on longer drives. Busy families benefit from split-fold rear seats that expand cargo area for strollers or sports gear, while features like remote start and heated seats keep everyone comfortable year-round, supporting a growing familyâs evolving needs. The Equinoxâs 1.5L DOHC turbocharged engine and 6-speed automatic transmission deliver smooth acceleration, minimizing jolts that could disturb sleeping passengers. Confident power provides safe highway merging with full loads, and the all-wheel-drive system offers added confidence in adverse weather. Fuel efficiency is engineered for family road trips, offering competitive mileage for its class, while the four-wheel independent suspension ensures a cushioned, composed ride, even when roads get rough or fully loaded for vacation travel. Safety is at the core of this SUV, providing peace of mind for protecting what matters most. The LATCH anchors are positioned on both outboard rear seats and are easy to access, ensuring secure installation of car seats. Comprehensive airbag coverage includes dual front, side-impact, and overhead airbags, protecting all passengers. Advanced systemsâsuch as Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross Traffic Alertâactively help prevent accidents. With strong IIHS and NHTSA crash test ratings in recent years, the Equinox is engineered for family safety. The rear seat reminder helps prevent leaving items or children behind, and available Teen Driver technology lets parents set speed and audio limits, supporting safer habits for new drivers. Cabin air filters maintain a healthier interior, especially important for young children. Family-friendly features abound with the Confidence & Convenience Package, including dual-zone automatic climate control for optimal comfort and heated front seats for chilly mornings. Compared to rivals like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Equinox stands out for its wide rear seat, making it easier to install multiple car seats side by side. The Equinox can fit up to three car seats across the back seat, with easily accessible LATCH anchors for quick and secure installation. Its comprehensive airbag coverage, advanced driver assistance systems, strong crash test ratings, and rear seat reminder make it a safe choice for families with kids or teens.
