Key takeaways
- The RS comes with tons of optional packages to ensure that you get exactly what you want at a decent price.
- The RS is better than its little brother, the LT as it comes with upgraded features such as larger wheels.
- When it comes to standard features, the RS packs a punch, and for an unbeatable price.
- The RS comes with roof rails for those who wish to transport cargo that won’t fit in the rear of the vehicle.
What is the RS package on an Equinox?
The RS is actually a trim level on the Chevy Equinox. There are, however, several packages to create the Equinox RS of your dreams. There is an RS Leather Package that’s available on the Equinox RS, you’re treated to Jet Black perforated leather-appointed seating, and the driver’s seat comes with a map pocket located on the rear. The last feature you’re treated to is a Bose premium 7-speaker system, which is an upgrade from the 6-speaker system that comes standard on the RS.
Not all the packages for the RS focus on the interior though, if you’re planning on using the roof rails often you may want to opt for the “Hit The Road package”. This package comes with cross rails and molded assist steps, making the rails sturdier, and making it easier for you to access them.
The RS also has a package that goes all in on safety and convenience. This package is the safety and infotainment package. With this package you can look for an upgraded 8-inch infotainment system that is larger than the standard one, a 120-volt power outlet that allows you to charge larger devices, adaptive cruise control that follows the vehicle in front of you at a set distance, and if no vehicle is detected it works like traditional cruise control.
What is the difference between RS and LT Equinox?
The RS is the next step up from the LT and comes with better features.
For the RS, you can look for these features that the lower tier LT doesn’t have. The RS comes with larger 19-inch aluminum wheels, compared to the smaller 17-inch wheels on the LT, roof mounted side rails also come standard on the RS.

The Equinox RS comes loaded with features that focus on comfort as well as utility. For interior entertainment you can look for a 7-inch touchscreen that comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, allowing you to access navigation and music apps from your phone. Active noise cancellation comes standard, and when on the road, the RS does what it needs to do to have a quiet interior, making it easier to hear other passengers.
When in the front row of the vehicle, the driver and front passenger are treated to heated seats, while the driver also gets treated to power lumbar support, both of these features ensure that when you get to your destination, you’re ready to go.
The RS also comes with a suite of remote and keyless access features. To get in and start your vehicle you simply need to have the key in your possession, making it easy to get in and go. And if you’re ever running a bit behind schedule and need to go immediately, simply start your vehicle with the remote start feature so the moment you’re in it all you have to do is buckle up and be on your way.
