For adventure seekers, the ACTIV trim stands out with all-terrain tires and a specially tuned suspension-features that set it apart from typical competitors. Combined with refined steering, responsive handling, and active noise cancellation for a quiet cabin, the Equinox performs confidently whether you're navigating city streets or exploring more rugged terrain.
