The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is available in three distinct trims, each offering a unique take on style and capability. The LS trim provides a clean, modern starting point with LED lighting, solar-absorbing privacy glass, and heated side mirrors—ideal for cold Midwest mornings. Exterior highlights include an active aero grille, 17-inch Grazen Metallic alloy wheels, and an available Midnight Edition that adds bold visual flair.

For a more aggressive look, the RS trim stands out with blacked-out exterior accents, available 20-inch black wheels, and darkened badging and moldings. A black grille and optional black roof enhance its sporty appeal, while practical upgrades like rain-sensing wipers, a heated wiper park, and an AutoSense power liftgate add everyday convenience.

Designed for drivers with an adventurous spirit, the ACTIV trim features 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, a more rugged suspension setup, a distinctive front fascia, and exclusive trim details. An available two-tone white roof completes its bold, trail-ready look.

Powering the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is a turbocharged 1.5L engine that delivers an ideal blend of efficiency and strength. Producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, this engine is paired with an intelligent continuously variable transmission (CVT) for smooth, responsive performance. Whether navigating daily traffic in Roselle or heading off the beaten path, the Equinox provides dependable power and confident acceleration.

The Equinox delivers a well-balanced driving experience that blends comfort, efficiency, and capability. Front-wheel drive (FWD) comes standard and offers excellent fuel economy with confident handling on paved roads. For added control in varying conditions, the available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system—particularly on the ACTIV trim—enhances traction and stability, paired with a specially tuned suspension for improved ride quality. With responsive steering, composed handling, and the ability to tow up to 1,500 pounds, the Equinox proves capable in a wide range of driving scenarios.

Inside, the Equinox welcomes up to five passengers with a cabin designed around comfort, flexibility, and advanced technology. Heated front seats come standard, with available upgrades including ventilated front seats, heated rear seating, dual-zone climate control, a cabin humidity sensor, and solar-absorbing glass to maintain comfort year-round. Every trim features an expansive 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Google Built-In, wireless smartphone integration, and an available Wi Fi® hotspot, allowing easy access to navigation, entertainment, and hands-free communication. Premium touches like available Evotex seating surfaces and ambient lighting elevate the interior feel. For cargo needs, the rear seats fold flat to reveal up to 63.5 cu. ft. of storage space, complemented by a dual-level cargo floor and an available hands-free power liftgate.

Safety is a core focus of the 2026 Equinox, which comes standard with Chevrolet Safety Assist. This suite includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Lane Departure Warning, working together to help prevent potential hazards. The Equinox also features a reinforced body structure engineered to help absorb and distribute impact forces. Available features such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a surround-view camera system further enhance awareness by providing a comprehensive view around the vehicle—making parking and low-speed maneuvering easier and safer. Wherever the road leads, the Equinox is built to support driver confidence.
