If you’re shopping for a well-rounded SUV that balances everyday practicality with modern technology, you should check out the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox. From its spacious interior to its suite of standard safety features, the Equinox is designed to keep up with your daily routine and then some. 

So, if you’re driving through the city or loading up for a weekend getaway, the Equinox gives you a lot to work with – and it’s worth understanding exactly what’s available before you head to the lot. 

A Powertrain Built for Everyday Driving 

The 2026 Equinox is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine that produces 175 hp and up to 203 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 1,500 lbs, making it useful beyond just passenger duties. 

Available all-wheel drive gives drivers added traction when road conditions change. A standard Drive Mode Selector helps you adapt on the fly, whether you’re dealing with rain-slicked roads or light off-road terrain. 

Trim Levels to Fit Different Lifestyles 

The 2026 Equinox is available in LT, RS, and ACTIV trims. The LT is the entry point and includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an 11.3-in infotainment touchscreen, and an 11-in Driver Information Center.  

The RS trim leans into a sportier look with black mirrors, moldings, emblems, and badging, along with a flat-bottom steering wheel and available two-tone black roof. The ACTIV trim takes a different path, focusing on adventure readiness with all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and Evotex seating surfaces.  

Technology That Keeps You Connected 

At the center of the Equinox’s cabin is the 11.3-in touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. You can use voice commands to access your apps, music, and navigation while keeping your focus on the road. 

OnStar connectivity adds another layer of support, and available wireless phone charging means one less cable to manage. Available HD Surround Vision gives you a helpful view around the vehicle, useful in parking lots and tight spaces. 

An 11-in Driver Information Center comes standard, making it easy to view key vehicle information directly in front of you.  

Safety Features Included as Standard 

The Equinox includes more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features, including the Chevy Safety Assist suite. This includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlights. 

Available features include HD Surround Vision, a Rear Camera Mirror, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking.  

Cargo Space and Interior Flexibility 

With up to 63.5 cu ft of maximum cargo volume when the rear seats are folded flat, the 2026 Equinox offers a surprising amount of room for its size. Hidden storage beneath the rear cargo floor keeps smaller items tucked away, and an available AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading easier when your hands are full. 

The Equinox seats 5 and measures just over 15 feet in overall length – practical for everyday parking and maneuvering without sacrificing interior comfort.
