Rear seat slides 8" forward and back. In the back position, excellent leg room for adults. When slid forward, good rear cargo room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Front seats are not very supportive, and you sink down into them see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

The seats on this were really not nice. Cheap is the word. Poor shaping, no lumbar support. They have really improved this in the new 2012 sedan, at least. It only took them 5 years. see full Nissan Versa review |
