The rear seats are also nice with enough legroom for adults and their ability to tilt and slide provides even more comfort and convenience. The heated leather front seats are quite comfy and the 8-way adjustability means they should fit anyone. The interior is typical GM, some nice materials mixed with some cheaper surfaces that leave a good overall impression. I liked how the cargo mat prevented objects from sliding about, however I would personally go aftermarket and save a few hundred dollars. The $260 Interior Protection package which delivers rubber floor mats and a cargo mat was also included. The only glitch I came across was the occasional lack of response from the touchscreen I would have to select the wanted function 2 or 3 times to get it to respond The system functions well but the smallish buttons can make it difficult to quickly find the desired control.

The system use the latest version of Mylink software which included a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. For $1,530 you gain a sunroof over the front seats only, a Pioneer Premium 8 Speaker sound system that leaves a lot to desired when compared to premium sound system in other SUV’s, the ability to stream music via Bluetooth, GPS and the voice recognition software that controls your stereo, navigation and phone works well and surprisingly rapidly.

The next package is called the True North Edition. The sudden and unexpected appearance of the red warning light in the dash at first confused me as I was not sure what it was referring to, and nothing seemed to be wrong with neither the vehicle nor my driving. It shows a green car when you are driving safely and a red depiction of the accident you are about to have if, for example, the system feels you are following too closely. The system provides the alerts visually from a small display on top of the centre of the dash board. This is one package that is worth the money. It includes Forward collision alert, Lane departure alert, Side blind spot alert, rear cross traffic alert and rear park assist.

First off is the $1,250 Driver Confidence package. The LTZ AWD model I drove featured all of the optional technology packages. I also have to give Chevrolet credit for allowing the consumer to select AWD at all trim levels, rather than forcing them to spend many thousands more for higher trim levels just for the extra security it provides I wish all manufacturers would follow suit. While the base model will not stream music from your phone, the focus the company has placed in providing a safe vehicle is easy to see.

For example all models now include a 7” touchscreen with revised graphics, Bluetooth phone connectivity and a rear-view camera. In a wise move to win over buyers the head honcho’s have chosen to increase the appeal of the model by adding to the standard equipment offered at all levels. This is the top of a new 3 trim level structure- LS, LT and LTZ. I recently spent some time acquainting myself with the refreshed 2016 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ AWD. Get it right and you could win over new buyers, but make a mistake and the customers will abandon the brand like a sinking ship. Whenever the time comes to revisit the design or packaging of such successful products those responsible for making the final decisions carry a heavy burden of responsibility. In fact the Equinox is the second only to the Silverado pickup truck in terms of total North American sales. For Chevrolet this trend has resulted in increased sales of their small SUV the Equinox.

The SUV has become the staple for the Canadian family and every month it seems like we see more of them on the roads.
