Chevrolet of Bucyrus – Can the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox Carry Your Family Gear Comfortably around Upper Sandusky, OH?

Families balancing school pickups, sports practices, and weekend trips want two things from a compact SUV: smart space and easy tech. The 2026 Equinox delivers on both with a flexible cabin, clever storage, and an interface built to simplify your day. If your routine takes you between neighborhoods, parks, and nearby highways around Upper Sandusky, OH, here is a focused look at the cargo and cabin usability that make this small SUV a practical fit.

Start with the numbers that count. With the rear seats folded, Equinox offers up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume—roomy enough for a family’s camping gear, a couple of bikes, or multiple suitcases. The 60/40 split-bench rear seat lets you carry a mix of people and longer items like folding tables or lacrosse sticks. Under the rear cargo floor, a hidden storage area keeps smaller valuables out of sight and everyday essentials organized. And when your hands are full with groceries, youth sports bags, or a stroller, the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate adds welcome convenience at the curb.

Beyond space, usability makes a difference on busy days. The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center put maps, media, and information in view at a glance. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility reduce cable clutter, while Google built-in allows you to use Google Assistant for navigation or calls using simple voice commands—especially helpful when you are keeping an eye on traffic and kids in the second row. Available wireless phone charging tidies up the center console and keeps devices ready for the ride home.

Ride and drivability also matter when your schedule is packed. With a 1.5L Turbo engine making 175 hp and the available all-wheel drive system, Equinox handles variable weather and mixed surfaces with composed confidence. Towing up to 1,500 lbs. supports small trailers or extra gear for a family weekend trip. Chevy Safety Assist, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®, helps provide an added layer of reassurance on school-day commutes and highway merges.

• Cargo flexibility: 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume with a folding 60/40 split-bench seat makes mixed passenger and gear loads straightforward.
• Hands-free loading: The available AutoSense Power Liftgate opens when your hands are full with backpacks, groceries, or sports equipment.
• Hidden organization: Underfloor cargo storage helps keep valuables out of sight and must-haves tidy.
• Family-friendly tech: An 11.3-inch diagonal touch-screen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Google built-in, and available wireless charging simplify daily routines.
• Confident driving: A 1.5L Turbo engine, available all-wheel drive, and up to 1,500 lbs. of towing support everyday errands and weekend plans.

If you are comparing SUV options, take a close look at trims tailored for your style and needs. RS brings athletic cues like a Black grille, Black emblems and badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and available 20-inch wheels, while ACTIV adds a more rugged stance with all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and available two-tone roof treatments. Inside ACTIV, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces offer a premium feel that holds up to family life.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can the 2026 Equinox fit two car seats and a stroller without hassle?

Yes. The second row’s generous layout supports two child seats securely when installed per the Owner’s Manual and child seat manufacturer instructions. With one side of the 60/40 split-bench folded, you can stow a compact stroller while keeping room for a passenger. For larger strollers, folding both sides creates a flat load floor, and the hidden underfloor storage is ideal for small items like extra wipes, toys, or blankets.

When you are ready to see how the layout fits your family gear, bring your child seats and stroller to a test drive and set them up during your visit. Our team will help you explore the cargo floor, hidden storage, and available AutoSense Power Liftgate operation so you can decide what configuration works best. Chevrolet of Bucyrus is serving Mansfield, Upper Sandusky, and Galion with friendly guidance, detailed demos, and flexible appointment times to help you get comfortable with the features that matter most to your family.
