ACTIV brings a fresh persona to the redesigned Equinox, inspired by customers whose passions start where the pavement ends. Equinox ACTIV features a unique front fascia and styling cues that create and accentuate the off-road look, all-terrain tires, and an available white roof for a two-tone finish. Additional ACTIV content includes: rugged front fascia with vertical grille inserts and gray metallic-finished accents, blacked-out badging, 17-inch machined-face aluminum wheels, Maple Sugar and Black interior theme, with premium Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces.
There are also ACTIV embroidered on driver and passenger seat head restraints, and available heated and ventilated front seats and rear heated outboard seats, and memory driver seat personalization. The all-new Equinox is 2.3 inches wider than the outgoing model, enhancing its more planted stance.

Layered against the driver information center and angled slightly toward the driver is the interior focal point — a new 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment1 screen that’s more than 30% larger than the largest screen offered in the current model. It’s the gateway to music, media, maps and other connected services via Google built-in2. The dashboard is pulled away, adding to the spacious interior.
Equinox debuts with a 1.5L Turbo engine that produces 175 horsepower and is matched with a continuously variable transmission in front-wheel-drive configurations, or an eight-speed automatic transmission with available all-wheel-drive. Equinox is trailering-capable6, with a maximum capacity of up to 1,500 pounds when equipped with available AWD. For the first time, Equinox offers RS and ACTIV customers driver-selectable modes, accessed via a rotator on the center console. The driver can select from Normal and Snow on FWD-equipped vehicles. AWD adds Off-Road mode. Drive modes adjust the propulsion system performance to best handle the conditions. ■
