2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2026 Equinox lineup offers 3 distinct trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV. The LT displays a premium exterior accented with an active aero shutter grille, available bright finishes, and high-end features such as LED lighting and solar-absorbing privacy glass. Embrace your dark side with its dramatic Midnight Edition. The RS shifts the design language with blacked-out details, a sport-inspired fascia, and either 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels that give it a commanding, aggressive posture. Add its optional black roof for an extra kick. The RS doesn’t forget practicality, also adding a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, and a heated wiper park. At the top sits the ACTIV, sculpted with an off-road flair, featuring unique grille patterns, rugged body cladding, all-terrain tires, and exclusive 2-tone paint options that make it stand out whether on city streets or open roads.

Every 2026 Equinox is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, crafted for both efficiency and reliable punch. It delivers a robust 175 hp and 203 lbs.-ft. of torque. Front-wheel drive remains standard, while available all-wheel drive provides additional traction when the roads demand more control. This powertrain strikes an equilibrium between city practicality and highway endurance.

The Equinox performs with a quiet confidence. Its tuned suspension softens rough pavement while maintaining responsive steering feedback, ensuring drivers feel connected without being jarred. With available all-wheel drive, torque is distributed intelligently across the wheels, enhancing grip on wet or unpaved surfaces. With a 1,500-lb. towing capacity when properly equipped, you’re able to hook up rec equipment or a teardrop trailer to hit the road.

Step inside, and the 2026 Equinox reveals a spacious cabin crafted with precision. Seating up to 5, the SUV embraces ergonomics with supportive front-row seating and rear bench flexibility for passengers or expanded cargo. Standard heated front seats can be upgraded with ventilation as well, and heated rear seats. The centerpiece is an 11.3” infotainment display that anchors the dashboard with clarity and intuitive usability. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard. Thoughtful storage compartments create an interior that feels upscale yet durable enough for everyday family life. Fold-flat rear seats and an available hands-free power liftgate give you immediate access to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo area with a dual-level floor, ensuring you can easily stow all your gear and take a road trip.

Chevrolet Safety Assist is standard across every trim, providing peace of mind through features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert. The system also incorporates Front Pedestrian Braking and IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams, ensuring driver awareness in complex conditions. Available adaptive cruise control further elevates highway confidence, while an array of cameras and sensors work in unison to expand visibility and reduce blind spots, giving you confidence for all your Stillwater travels.
