The 2018 Holden Equinox is a medium size SUV that is a much bigger beast inside and offers a spacious cabin that families will love.

The rear and front seats both offer generous legroom and ample headroom that caters for tall passengers. The fabric seats are more characterful over the LTZ’s leather trim, offering a diamond pattern finish with contrasting stitching, and proving comfy over a long trip.

That said, the leather seats get human comforts such as heating and ventilation including rear row warming and also have haptic feedback which will vibrate when a forward vision alert predicts a collision may incur.

The boot is a special highlight, with 846 litres of space, almost 300 litres more than some competitors – and is easily accessed via a broad opening hatch with a deep loading width that will house a large pram and sundry items. Storage is also spacious with a large centre console bin, deep door pockets and hidden umbrella holders inside the front door panels.
