Fast facts
Fast facts
Nearly 13cm longer than the average crossover
The Equinox is nearly 13cm longer than the average crossover, but almost exactly the same width. When parking, you will need to think more about the space in front and behind than squeezing between the lines.
Around 107 litres more boot space with the seats up
With all five seats in use, the Equinox has 846 litres of boot space. That is around 107 litres, or 14%, more than the average crossover, giving you extra room for shopping, luggage or a pushchair without having to fold the back seats.
It physically fits every regional bay
The Equinox fits within the standard-sized parking spaces in all eight regions, but only five leave a comfortable amount of room around it. The standard spaces in the United Kingdom, European Union and Australia are the tightest.
It makes good use of its size
Taking both its seats-up and maximum cargo capacity into account, the Equinox provides about 138 litres per square metre of ground space. That is roughly 6% above average for a crossover, so it makes good use of its exterior size.

Cargo space & efficiency
2022 Chevrolet Equinox cargo capacity and space efficiency
With all five seats in use, the Equinox has 846 litres of boot space. That is around 107 litres, or 14%, more than the average crossover, giving you extra room for shopping, luggage or a pushchair without folding the back seats. Set the car up to carry as much as possible and capacity rises to 1,809 litres. That is about 62 litres below the average crossover, so the Equinox stands out more for its everyday boot space than for its outright maximum capacity. Taking both its seats-up and maximum cargo capacity into account, the Equinox provides about 138 litres per square metre of ground space. That is roughly 6% above average for a crossover, so it makes good use of its exterior size.

Parking
Will the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox fit in a standard parking space?
The Equinox fits within the standard-sized parking spaces in all eight regions, but only five leave a comfortable amount of space around it. Fitting between the lines should not be a problem, although opening the doors and getting in or out may be less straightforward in narrower spaces. The standard spaces in the United Kingdom, European Union and Australia are the tightest, while those in China, India, Japan, the Middle East and USA/Canada provide a more comfortable fit.
DriveSize parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width excluding mirrors where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 45 cm per side (excluding mirrors), and length clearance is 42 cm at each end.

Usability
2022 Chevrolet Equinox usability & manoeuvrability
The Equinox has an 11.4-metre turning circle, very close to the roughly 11.2-metre average for a crossover. The difference is only about 16cm, so it should feel much like a typical crossover in car parks and tight turns, although it is not one of the most nimble cars in its class. Ground clearance is 19.3cm, around 1cm higher than the average crossover. That gives you a little more breathing room over raised entrances, rough tracks and steep driveways. At 1,485kg, it is also roughly 150kg lighter than the average crossover.

DriveSize overview: 2022 Chevrolet Equinox
Based on its dimensions, the Equinox is likely to suit families who want to use all five seats without giving up a generous boot. It could also work well for couples who regularly carry luggage, sports equipment, a pushchair or other bulky everyday items. Its 846-litre boot is around 107 litres larger than that of the average crossover, making everyday carrying space its clearest strength.
Its 465.1cm length means it may be less convenient for drivers who regularly use tight United Kingdom or European parking spaces, or who have a short garage. Maximum cargo capacity and manoeuvrability are closer to average, so the Equinox is best viewed as a roomy everyday crossover rather than one chosen purely for maximum carrying space.
For a closely sized alternative, compare it with the 2022 Toyota RAV4.
