The 2024 GM Equinox combines comfort, style and performance, enabling the vehicle to stand head and shoulder above the competition.

Its latest accolade comes from J.D. Power’s 2023 U.S. Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study, showing that it offered some of the highest comfort levels in its class.

Exceptionally Comfortable Seating

The study concluded that the Equinox should receive the highest comfort ranking in the “Mass Market Small/Compact SUV” segment for satisfactory seats. According to J.D. Power, the results weren’t a fluke but a testament to the meticulous attention GM pays to designing and crafting seating solutions.

The study surveyed a diverse set of vehicle owners within 90 days of purchasing 2023 models. Data showed that the 2023 Equinox had the fewest seat problems in its category at just 5.2 per 100 vehicles. The remarkable achievement puts the EV ahead of other strong contenders, like the Kia Niro and the Ford Bronco.

Convenience At Your Fingertips

Aside from comfy seats, the Equinox also stands apart because of the availability of comfort-related convenience features. For example, GM fits the car with four-way manually adjustable seats as standard, with the option of eight-way power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats.

Additionally, drivers can enjoy memory seats, a feature usually only found on premium vehicles. Seating automatically assumes the preferred position of drivers simply by pressing a button. These innovations show that GM is ahead of the curve on comfort and enabling driver satisfaction.

A Trusted Nameplate

The Equinox, though, offers more than mere seating quality. It is one of Chevrolet’s best-selling vehicles, second only to the Silverado, thanks to transmission and braking capabilities, road testing rating, and overall driving experience. Consumer Reports gave it its “recommended” rating for its high performance and utility.

Under the hood, the car boasts a turbocharged 1.5-litre I4 LSD gasoline engine, delivering over 175 horsepower and enough torque for most domestic needs. It also comes equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission for convenient and smooth driving on the road.

The Future Of The Equinox In Canada

The EV Equinox is due to make its debut in Canada in 2024 at a competitive base price Chevrolet believes will appeal to the mass market. The entry-level 1LT trim will offer an assortment of features for Canadian drivers, including a heated steering wheel and front seats to help drivers on chilly winter mornings in the north. The vehicle will also come with a decent range, estimated at over 250 miles for the long-range model. The powerful electric motors and advanced charging options will help meet the diverse needs of Canadian drivers.
