High-Gloss Black Accents: From the unique RS-specific grille to the black mirror caps, roof rails, and emblems, this Equinox trades chrome for a modern, monochromatic look.
19-inch Carbon Flash Machined Aluminum Wheels: These massive, dark-painted wheels provide a planted stance and a premium road presence.
RS-Exclusive Interior: The cabin features durable Evotex seating with Torch Red and Santorini Blue stitching, giving the interior a high-energy, sporty feel.
Flat-Bottom Steering Wheel: A race-inspired touch that enhances the driver-centric feel of the redesigned cockpit.

11-inch Diagonal Driver Information Center: A fully digital, customizable gauge cluster that replaces traditional dials with a crisp, modern interface.
