What are the dimensions of the Equinox's cup holders?

Equinox's cup holders are 8cm in size. Introduction to cup holders: Cup holders are an indispensable element in automotive functional design. The first patent for a car cup holder was approved, but at that time, it was just an additional accessory. In the 1950s, in-car dining and in-car theaters began to gain widespread popularity, which indeed increased the popularity of cup holders. Notes: In high-end models, cup holders may have heating or cooling functions, which are not uncommon configurations. However, the 300C's cup holders can provide both heating and cooling functions simultaneously, meaning the left side can heat while the right side cools, or vice versa, fully preparing hot and cold beverages as needed.
I've been driving the Chevrolet Equinox for three years and am very familiar with the size of its cup holders. There are two cup holders in the front center console, each about 7-8 cm in diameter and 10 cm deep, which perfectly fit a large Starbucks coffee cup or a 500 ml thermos without easily tipping over. I love this design because there's also plenty of storage space, and you can fit a phone or keys next to it. The rear cup holders are slightly smaller but similarly deep, making them stable enough for kids' drink bottles. Overall, the Equinox's cup holder dimensions are very practical for daily commutes, eliminating worries about drink spills. I also recommend wiping them with a damp cloth during car washes to keep them clean and prevent stain buildup.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've studied the interior design of the Equinox. Its cup holder dimensions are approximately 7.5 cm in diameter and 10 cm in depth, a configuration designed to maximize space efficiency. Engineers considered the sizes of common beverage containers during the layout planning, allowing most insulated tumblers or canned drinks to fit comfortably. I've noticed an additional advantage of these dimensions - they don't occupy too much center console space while featuring well-designed anti-slip grooves that prevent movement during sharp turns. Compared to other SUVs, it's slightly larger than Nissan's Rogue, demonstrating thoughtful ergonomics. It proves particularly convenient for daily use, especially during long trips, as the deeper cup holders effectively minimize drink wobbling.
I often drive my kids to and from school, and the rear seat cup holders in the Equinox are just the right size. They easily accommodate children's water bottles or milk bottles, with a diameter of about 7 cm and a depth of around 10 cm. The depth is sufficient to prevent accidental spills, saving us the hassle of cleaning. The material is plastic, making it easy to clean—just a quick wipe with a cloth. The front seat cup holders are similarly sized, so there's no problem fitting a large coffee cup. The size design takes family needs into account, preventing drinks from wobbling on bumpy roads, ensuring kids can drink safely during long trips. While not oversized, it's perfectly adequate for daily use.
