The Equinox has a smaller 11.3-inch main touchscreen, but it also comes with an 11-inch digital gauge display.
The Chevy Equinox Has Standard Adaptive Cruise Control: The Equinox is happy to provide standard adaptive cruise control with lane-centering to all drivers. This driver assistance feature is only available on the Chevy Tahoe, meaning you need to purchase it separately or buy a higher trim level.
