The Holden Equinox brought a fresh, global flavour to Holden’s SUV range when it arrived in Australia as the successor to the Captiva. Based on Chevrolet’s North American Equinox, it offered a more refined drive, stronger safety credentials and a modern cabin aimed squarely at families, commuters and weekend travellers. Depending on the variant, buyers could enjoy features such as turbocharged petrol engines, all wheel drive, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, advanced driver assistance, generous cargo space and comfortable seating for five. Its responsive 2.0 litre turbo engine in particular gave the Equinox a surprisingly lively character for a mid size SUV, making it well suited to Australian highways and suburban driving alike.

For Automotive Superstore customers, the Holden Equinox is a practical platform for maintenance, protection and personalisation. Popular upgrades include quality brake pads, filters, wiper blades, roof racks, cargo liners, floor mats, lighting, batteries and towing accessories. An interesting piece of trivia is that the Equinox represented one of Holden’s final efforts to reshape itself as a fully imported brand before the marque was retired in 2020, giving it added significance in local motoring history. While it may not have worn the traditional Commodore badge, the Equinox still played a role in Holden’s last chapter, offering Australian drivers a versatile SUV with everyday comfort, useful technology and plenty of scope for accessory upgrades.
