However, the system isn't perfect: The sun's glare occasionally washes out the screen, and some settings require several steps to adjust. There are also physical buttons for some functions, in addition to the touch screen. The MyLink infotainment system makes the driver's life easier because of its intuitive interface.

So, there's really no way to make the seat more comfortable while you're sitting in it." - Autoweek (2018) … The rear seat does recline, but the lever is located at the top of the seatback. That's a fraction of an inch less than the old one and just an inch short of the Honda CR-V. But somehow the Equinox has 39.7 inches of rear-seat legroom. "Chop out a healthy chunk of wheelbase and one might expect legroom to suffer.Get a car with this feature and tall passengers in back will have to slouch." - (2018) Headroom and seat height are good across the board, but the optional panoramic moonroof annexes nearly 2 inches of headroom, front and rear. As compact SUVs go, the old Equinox had exceptionally big, comfy seats these are, well, ordinary. "But two days' driving confirmed one of our initial takeaways: The Equinox's new seats are a step backward.We preferred the extra bit of coziness the Premier trim's leather seats afforded." - Autoblog (2018) Still, you won't be fighting to maintain a proper upright position directly behind the wheel when traversing tight corners. "The seats in the LT are firm and supportive, though the side bolstering on the seatback might feel a little tight for a good number of drivers.The lower anchors present no problems, but the tether anchors can be confused with other hardware if you aren't looking closely enough. There are complete LATCH car-seat systems in the second row's outboard seats and a top tether anchor for the middle seat. Both rows of seats offer good head- and legroom, though the optional sunroof noticeably decreases headroom. The front seats provide plenty of support, even on long drives, and comfort levels are typical for the class. Leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated front seats, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel are available. The Chevy Equinox seats five and comes standard with cloth upholstery.

Plastic is still used liberally, but there's a clear move toward softer touch and lower impact materials." - Automobile Magazine (2018) This isn't a bad thing, as it does away with the rough plastic-fantastic Equinox interior of yore.

Like the exterior design, the inside is plucked from other Chevrolet models. "When we slowed down and drove like a regular Equinox buyer, we had time to enjoy the redesigned cabin.The topmost Premier trim level uses a nice mix of leather and soft-touch plastics, although cheaper materials creep in as you move down the price ladder into the less expensive LT model (L and LS trims are available, but Chevrolet didn't have any of those price leaders available for us to drive)." - Car and Driver (2018) It'll look familiar to anyone who's been in the most recent Chevrolet Malibu or Cruze, and it's useful and well organized, if a little staid. "The interior similarly places function over form.Hard plastics are one thing, but the textures are mismatched and there's a definite downmarket look and feel." - Edmunds "The interior materials quality is disappointing for the class and even more so when you consider how expensive the Equinox is.
