Where is the spare tire located on the Chevrolet Equinox?
2 Answers
The spare tire of the Equinox is located under the trunk floor panel. Open the trunk, lift the trunk floor panel, remove the foam tool kit on the rear seat, unscrew the locking knob of the spare tire, and then you can take out the spare tire. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Vehicle spare tires are divided into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. 2. The Equinox features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169ps, a maximum power of 124kw, and a maximum torque of 250nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle dimensions are: length 4646mm, width 1843mm, height 1684mm, with a wheelbase of 2725mm.
I’ve been driving my Chevrolet Equinox for quite a while, and the spare tire is conveniently tucked under the floor in the trunk. Just lift the rear hatch, and you’ll find a removable panel or carpet in the cargo area—pull it up to reveal the spare tire compartment beneath. The spare is usually a compact temporary one, secured in a slot, with a toolkit (wrench and jack) stored alongside, ready for a flat tire emergency. Last time I had a puncture on a long trip, I quickly lifted the floor and swapped the tire—the whole process took less than 10 minutes. Remember to check the spare’s pressure regularly; don’t let it sit flat and rust, or it’ll fail you when needed. The design is clever—it doesn’t eat into other storage space, keeps luggage loading hassle-free, and stays secure without rattling while driving. Super practical and safe.
