Chevrolet bolsters Equinox's durability by making upholstery more stain resistant

Chevrolet has developed a new stain-resistant interior for its 2018 Equinox in response to concerns from drivers dealing with spills and other messes. according to a post on the Graff Mount Pleasant website.

The new Equinox interior is designed to resist stains and handle spills, scuffs and normal wear and tear issues, the posting said. The new denim-like or leather seats are designed for easy cleanup and treatments on the upholstery help resist stains.

“Many fashion trends disappear after a year of two, while the Equinox is designed for the long haul, making the durability of its materials very important,” Mara Kapsis, color and trim designer for the 2018 Equinox, said in the posting. “By following real people and absorbing the little things in life that help or hinder them – such as photos posted of muddy paws, spilled drinks or stains on the seats – we learned more about how we could make the new Equinox easier to live with and enjoy every day.”
