The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
