2008 4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
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

Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

I bought this car because of the front seat leg room. I'm 6' 5" tall with a 36" inseam. This is the first car I've ever owned that I fit in perfectly. The cloth bucket seats are very comfortable. Every control is in easy reach even though I have the seat as far back as it can go. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel is great. This is the first mid size sedan since I've owned. It has more interior room than a 1999 Buick LeSabre I owned 10 years ago. see full Nissan Altima review
