More comfort and safety

The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox continues to stand out from the CX-5 on the road. Offering greater comfort and a quieter cabin, the Equinox truly shines with refinement. OnStar connected services also offer greater peace of mind, connecting you to a live agent if you need directions, for example, but also being there in the event of an accident by automatically notifying emergency services if you don't respond. Plus, OnStar services can track your Equinox if it's stolen. Add to that an exclusive feature called Teen Driver, which monitors your Chevrolet Equinox while it's being driven by your teenager and allows you to set speed and volume limits for the radio, and you've got a truly distinct SUV that stands out for the comfort and peace of mind it provides.
