2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes in 3 trims to fit a variety of lifestyles: the minimalist LS, sporty RS, and trail-ready ACTIV, each with its own distinctive exterior features. The LS trim is the entry-level model but provides high-end features like solar-absorbing privacy glass, LED lighting, and heated side mirrors that are a welcome convenience in New England. Beyond that, the LS shows off striking 17” Grazen Metallic alloy wheels, an active aero shutter grille, and a dramatic Midnight Edition so you can embrace your dark side. The RS trim, on the other hand, stands out with sportier touches. With up to 20” black wheels, blacked-out details from mirrors and moldings to emblems and badging, a black grille and optional black roof, it commands attention. It builds upon the LS trim’s practicality, adding rain-sensing wipers, a heated wiper park, and an AutoSense power liftgate. For the wild-at-heart, the ACTIV trim takes on any terrain with all-terrain tires, burly suspension, a unique front fascia, and exclusive details for rugged adventure. It also offers an available 2-tone white roof, giving it an eye-catching and rugged look.

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox boasts a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, delivering 175 hp and an ample 203 lbs.-ft. of torque with a kick. This engine is paired with a smooth-shifting intelligent Continuously Variable Transmission, creating a powertrain that promises confident shifting, dependability, and a smooth ride.

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox promises a fun drive and impressive performance with precise handling and maneuverability. Standard front-wheel drive offers excellent fuel economy while providing confident traction on dry roads, while the available all-wheel drive system lets you take on snow, rain-slicked roads, rocky gravel, and off-roading with ease. The ACTIV provides superior grip on any terrain, paired with a uniquely tuned suspension for optimal control and comfort. This advanced drivetrain helps maintain stability and grip, regardless of the driving conditions. With its smooth suspension system, responsive steering, and agile handling, the Equinox offers an enjoyable driving experience while maintaining composure, even when towing up to 1,500 lbs.
