2027 Chevrolet Equinox Cargo Space and Family Practicality
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox offers up to 63.5 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded and 29.8 cubic feet behind the second row. It seats five with a 60/40 split-folding rear bench, so it swallows car seats, strollers, Costco runs and road-trip luggage — a genuinely practical family compact SUV.
Space is the whole point of a family SUV, so let's get specific about what the 2027 Equinox actually holds and how that plays out in real life.

Equinox Cargo Space by the Numbers
The Equinox gives you two cargo figures that matter, depending on whether the rear seats are up or down:
| Configuration | Cargo Volume |
|---|---|
| Behind the 2nd row (seats up) | 29.8 cu ft |
| Rear seats folded | 63.5 cu ft |
Seats five, with a 60/40 split-folding rear bench so you can carry passengers and long cargo at the same time.
Seating and Family Space
Up front and in the back, the Equinox is sized for real families. The rear bench holds three across in a pinch and two comfortably, with enough legroom for adults on a road trip and lower anchors for child seats. The 60/40 split means one child can stay buckled in back while you fold the other side for a stroller, hockey bag or a run to the hardware store.
What Fits in Real Life
Numbers are abstract, so here is the practical version. Behind the second row you can fit a week's worth of groceries plus a stroller, or several roller bags for a family road trip. Fold the seats and you have room for a bicycle with the front wheel off, flat-pack furniture, or a weekend's worth of camping gear. For Okarche and OKC-metro families, the everyday math — car seats in back, cargo behind — simply works without playing Tetris.
Cargo-Friendly Features
A few design touches make loading easier. The Electronic Precision Shift on the steering column frees up center-console storage for bags and devices. A hands-free power liftgate — standard on RS and ACTIV and available on the LT via Convenience Package II — lets you open the back with your hands full. And the low, flat load floor with the seats down makes sliding in long items painless.
How Equinox Cargo Compares
Among compact SUVs, the Equinox's cargo room is competitive. The Honda CR-V edges it slightly on maximum volume, and the Toyota RAV4 is in the same ballpark, but the differences are small enough that real-world usability — seat folding, liftgate height, load-floor shape — matters more than a cubic-foot or two on paper. For most families, the Equinox has more than enough.
