I’m finally taking delivery of my new Equinox EV next week and couldn't be more excited! Since it’s a brand-new model, I want to make sure I protect the interior from day one. I've been looking at those massive 17.7-inch screens and I'm a bit worried about fingerprints—has anyone found a good tempered glass protector yet? Also, with the open space under the floating console, I feel like I need some bins or organizers to keep things from sliding around. I'm also debating between the official Chevy all-weather mats or waiting for a third-party option like TuxMat. What interior upgrades or small mods are you all considering to keep your cabin looking sharp and organized?
yo, congrats on the delivery! i actually picked mine up a few weeks ago and i was lowkey stressed about that massive screen. one smudge and it looks like a mess, but you gotta be careful with protectors cuz some can mess with the touch sensitivity. i'd suggest the Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit Screen Protector for Chevrolet Equinox EV. it’s super clear but definitely take your time with the install so u dont trap dust.
for that open space under the console, i found that a Musology Center Console Organizer Tray for Chevrolet Equinox EV works wonders. it keeps stuff from sliding into the footwell, which is actually a bit of a safety hazard if something rolls under the pedals.
about the mats... i'd seriously wait for the TuxMat Custom Car Mats for Chevrolet Equinox EV. the official Chevrolet Equinox EV All-Weather Floor Liners are okay, but TuxMat covers more of the carpet. just make sure they're anchored right so they dont slip. anyway, gl with the pickup!! 👍

Hmm, I've had a different experience. TuxMat Custom-Fit All-Weather Floor Mats offer better coverage than 3D MAXpider KAGU Series All-Weather Floor Liners. Over the years, TuxMats protected carpets better, though MAXpider cleans faster.
Hey there! Congrats on the new ride! Taking delivery is such a rush, and the Equinox EV is a fantastic choice. Since you are focused on reliability and keeping things looking sharp, I have a few thoughts to share. Quick question tho, are you mainly driving solo or will you have kids and pets in the back on the regular? That makes a huge difference in what kind of protection you actually need for the long haul. For the bins and under-console stuff, honestly just grab any of the storage solutions from KIKIMO. They usually make solid stuff that fits perfectly without sliding around. If you want the most durable floor protection, just get whatever WeatherTech has available for the floor liners. You seriously cant go wrong with their quality and it will save you so much stress in the long run. I love how easy their stuff is to clean compared to the cheaper brands! It is all about that long-term durability honestly.
Can confirm this works. Did the same thing on mine and its been solid ever since.
Did this last week, worked perfectly
I've tried many setups where mats slipped under the pedals... huge safety concern. Are you looking for max floor grip?? And does screen glare worry you for visibility at night?
