In this episode of Scenic Drives, automotive host Patrick McIntyre meets local photographer Brandon Scott along California’s Highway 1 to explore Garrapata State Park. The route’s mix of tight switchbacks, open straights, and gravel turnouts highlights the Equinox’s versatile performance. In ACTIV trim, the uniquely tuned suspension and all-terrain tires deliver capability on rougher surfaces and on-road comfort.
The ACTIV’s clean and innovative interior showcases an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment display and an 11.0-inch diagonal digital cluster that’s sharp and intuitive. Sueded microfiber seating surfaces, hidden storage compartments, and up to 63.5 cubic feet of max cargo space¹ make it well suited for road trips, running errands, or just a fun-filled weekend.
Confident, composed, and functional, the Equinox ACTIV proves that refinement and adventure can coexist in one well-rounded SUV.
¹ With rear seats folded flat. Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution.
