How big is the cargo area on an Equinox?
The cargo area behind the rear seats is about 29.6 cubic feet, expanding to roughly 63.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. These figures reflect the common two-row configuration used in the latest Equinox models.
Current-generation measurements (2018–present)
The following figures apply to the modern, two-row Equinox common in recent model years. They show cargo volume behind the second row and with the second row folded flat.
- Behind the rear seats: 29.6 cubic feet (0.84 cubic meters)
- Rear seats folded: 63.9 cubic feet (1.81 cubic meters)
In practical terms, that space handles several suitcases or a sizable grocery run with the seats up, and the folded configuration accommodates longer items when needed.
Notes on interpretation
These numbers assume standard equipment and a flat cargo floor. Actual usable space can vary with cargo organizers, floor depth, and any equipment that sits under the floor panel, such as spare tires in some trims.
Older generations (context and variation)
To provide context, the Equinox’s cargo footprint has remained in a similar range across prior generations, with only modest differences due to interior packaging and features. The following figures summarize typical values for the 2010–2017 generation.
- Behind the rear seats: roughly 29.0–31.5 cubic feet (0.82–0.89 cubic meters)
- Rear seats folded: about 63–64 cubic feet (1.79–1.81 cubic meters)
Overall, the vehicle’s cargo capacity has stayed practical for everyday use and longer trips, with minor year-to-year variations.
Summary
Across its current and recent past generations, the Equinox typically offers around 29.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats and about 63.9 cu ft with the rear seats folded. This makes the Equinox a versatile option for daily hauling and weekend errands, while still accommodating longer items when you fold the rear row.
