This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth and responsive shifting and delivers power to all four wheels thanks to the optional all-wheel drive of our tester, which allows for excellent traction and stability on the road.
On the inside, the Equinox RS greets you with a black and red color scheme that pairs nicely with its red and black exterior. The red accents throughout the cabin do a great job of breaking up the otherwise large swaths of black in this cabin.
