When you drive through Columbus, are you taking stock of the cars around you and wondering what it would be like to drive something different? Something reliable, comfortable, and fun? Have you considered looking for a Chevy Equinox in Columbus? If you answered yes to both these questions, the answer is simple: get the newest Chevy Equinox! The 2025 Equinox has a vast array of safety and driver assist features, perfect for the busy driver or family who needs to zip around the city and do so with the confidence that their vehicle is looking out for them.

There are enough safety and driver assist features in the 2025 Chevy Equinox to satisfy everyone; you'll have extra help navigating Columbus traffic, hairpin turns, parking lots, and backing out of the garage onto a busy street. Let the 2025 Equinox help you live your best life by taking some of the pressure off of driving and breathing some fresh air into your routine. You'll love how safe you feel inside the Equinox and how simple it is to do what you need to do without having added stress while you're at the wheel.

Traffic Sign Recognition

Sometimes, it's difficult to catch traffic guidance while you're zipping past, especially if the sign is bent, leaning, or worn. At other times, such as when there's inclement weather, you may not be able to see signs at all, or you might have to hope for the best and follow what the cars in front of you are doing. Whether you're driving through the rain on your way to Broad Street or you're trying to get to your class at Ohio State University, you need something you can depend on to let you know what the rules of the road are. That's why Chevy's available Traffic Sign Recognition driver assist feature is so important.

You can rely on this feature to help you stay at the speed limit, be aware of road conditions up ahead, and be alert for directions like Yield and Stop. You don't have to stress about what the speed limit is anymore, and you won't have to second guess yourself if you happen to only get a second to look at a sign. You can take the easy road and let the 2025 Equinox help you out. This feature is available on all 2025 Equinox models, regardless of trim level.

Rear Park Assist

Do you hate parallel parking? Not sure you trust yourself to back into a parking space that seems just a little too small? Then, you'll love the Rear Park Assist feature on the 2025 Equinox. This feature will alert you to vehicles and objects behind you when you put your vehicle in reverse. The purpose of this driver assist feature is to ensure that while you're parking, you don't collide with anything that could damage your vehicle. If you're wary of parallel parking on the street, it's time to try out the Rear Park Assist feature. You'll feel the pressure going down each time you get behind the wheel! Breathe a sigh of relief; no more panicking at the thought of trying to find a parking space on High Street!

You won't have to hunt for an easy parking space anymore. You'll spend less time parking and more time creating memories with those you love. Don't let parking be a daunting task; with Rear Park Assist, parking will be a cinch from now on. This driver assist feature comes standard on all 2025 Chevy Equinox models, so no matter which trim level you go with, you'll have a backup to help you back up.

Rear Cross Traffic Braking

Another safety feature that has been a long time coming is the 2025 Equinox's Rear Cross Traffic Braking feature. If you've ever been in a narrow parking lot, you have probably worried about backing out because it's impossible to see if there's any traffic behind you. Sometimes, you can catch yourself before the other vehicle hits you, but at other times, a bump is inevitable. To prevent these small-time collisions, the Equinox is equipped with the Rear Cross Traffic Braking system, which not only helps prevent collisions but will actively step in if you miss something. Things like this happen in the blink of an eye, so the alert might not be enough to stop you. That's why the brake will engage to prevent you from hitting something or someone behind you.

This feature will save you a lot of grief as you go about your day-to-day, whether you're commuting, running errands, picking up the kiddos, or dropping by a friend's house for the afternoon. It's a comfort to know that your vehicle has your back, no matter the situation, and the Equinox is prepared to help you avoid any unpleasantry that might ruin your bumper or worse. This feature also comes standard on every trim level of the 2025 Equinox.

Blind Zone Steering Assist

As the name implies, the Equinox's Blind Zone Steering Assist feature benefits the driver by providing an extra set of eyes, so to speak, on those hard to see places. If you're turning and a car tries to run the red light, or you're at a stop and someone decides it's their turn too early, you'll be glad you have access to this feature. The Blind Zone Steering Assist can turn your vehicle for you in the case of an emergency where a vehicle is entering the lane you're turning on to. This can prevent a collision, and it can also provide you with enough time to make a decision about what to do next.

This feature isn't always available, let alone standard, on Chevy's competitors, but for the 2025 Equinox, it's a standard driver assist safety feature that will save your bacon time and time again. Terrible drivers don't watch out for other drivers on the road, but with you and your Equinox paying attention, you'll manage to avoid having to interact with them much, if at all. Enjoy the drive from now on, knowing that your 2025 Equinox is prepared to work with you to prevent any harm coming to you or your passengers.
