Safety - What the Auto Press Says

The federal government  and insurance industry have not yet tested the 2010 Equinox. However, the government gave the 2009 model five stars for both driver and passenger safety in frontal crash tests and four stars for front- and rear-seat safety in side crash tests. A major plus in the safety department is the Equinox's three standard LATCH devices (Lower Anchors and Top tethers for CHildren) in the rear seat -- meaning it can accommodate three child safety seats at a time using seatbelts.

• "Standard safety equipment includes six airbags -- dual frontal airbags, head curtain side airbags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side airbags - plus four-wheel disc brakes with electronic stability control and traction control. Safety and convenience are enhanced with standard OnStar, while XM Satellite Radio provides added entertainment value." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Dual front airbags, side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for both rows are standard, as are four-wheel-disc antilock brakes, traction control and an electronic stability system." -- Cars.com
