2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The Equinox lineup includes three gas-powered trims—LT, RS, and ACTIV—each crafted for a unique driving experience. The LT trim emphasizes everyday comfort and practicality, offering a quiet, refined cabin with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and modern technology for convenient daily drives. The RS trim delivers sporty style and distinctive character, featuring bold exterior accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and interior details that convey confidence and performance-inspired design. For drivers who enjoy off-pavement excursions or rugged styling, the ACTIV trim brings enhanced capability, Evotex seating surfaces with ACTIV stitching, off-road-inspired exterior accents, and an optional two-tone roof for added personality. Each Equinox trim balances style, utility, and advanced technology to meet diverse driver needs.

Powered by a 1.5L Turbo engine generating 175 horsepower, the 2026 Equinox provides an efficient yet capable ride. Available all-wheel drive ensures traction and control in varied weather and road conditions, while the standard Drive Mode Selector allows drivers to tailor the driving dynamics to their preferences. This combination of power and adaptability makes the Equinox, one of the most comfortable family SUVs.

The Equinox’s engineering ensures dependable performance across all trims. With the ability to tow up to 1,500 pounds when equipped and available AWD for traction on demand, the SUV offers both utility and driving confidence. The suspension is tuned to provide a balanced ride that blends comfort with responsive handling, making daily drives smooth while supporting light off-road capability on ACTIV models.

Inside, the Equinox combines technology, comfort, and versatility. The large 11.3-inch touchscreen paired with the 11-inch Driver Information Center allows drivers to access navigation, apps, and key vehicle data with ease. Flexible 60/40 split-folding seats and available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate make loading cargo simple, while hidden storage under the rear floor adds practicality. Premium finishes, including Evotex and sueded microfiber surfaces, elevate the cabin, creating a comfortable environment for drivers and passengers alike.

Safety is a core focus for the 2026 Equinox. All gas trims include Chevrolet Safety Assist, featuring Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, and IntelliBeam® auto high beams. Additional available safety technologies enhance visibility, monitoring, and parking assistance, giving drivers confidence behind the wheel. Combined with wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, OnStar®, and Google built-in compatibility, the Equinox ensures both safety and connectivity on every journey.
