Since its redesign for the 2018 model-year, the Chevrolet Equinox compact SUV delivers an enhanced driving experience delivered and better overall quality. Once again this year, Parents magazine found the Chevrolet's steering to be particularly precise, while its powertrain is as powerful as you'd expect.

What Parents liked:

- Brawny engine delivers good acceleration.
- Steering is reassuring.
- Easy to find anchors for car seats.
- A following distance indicator tells you how many seconds behind the vehicle in front you are.
