Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox

11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen

The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen anchors the Equinox cabin with a clear, responsive interface that streamlines your day. Pair it with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility to bring your playlists, maps, and messages to the big screen without a cord. Google built-in adds another level of convenience: use Google Assistant to set destinations, send texts, adjust cabin settings, or queue up podcasts with simple voice commands so you can keep your focus on the road. Available wireless phone charging keeps your device powered on the go, and the 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center places key vehicle data and turn-by-turn directions directly in your line of sight. It is an intelligent layout that reduces clutter, minimizes distractions, and makes technology feel naturally integrated into every trip.

Chevy Safety Assist and standard driver assistance

Equinox emphasizes safety with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, led by Chevy Safety Assist. This core package includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. These features work continuously in the background to help enhance your situational awareness and respond to the unexpected. Beyond the standards, available HD Surround Vision provides a helpful top-down view when maneuvering in tight spaces, while Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Rear Camera Mirror further expand your confidence in busy parking lots and dense traffic. The result is an SUV that supports your attention with technology that is there when you need it and unobtrusive when you do not.

Available all-wheel drive and Drive Mode Selector

With available all-wheel drive, Equinox adds traction when roads are wet, snowy, or unpaved. The standard Drive Mode Selector lets you tailor responses for your conditions, whether you want more efficient cruising, surer footing on slick roads, or enhanced control on variable terrain. Paired with the efficient 1.5L Turbo engine, Equinox is tuned for everyday drivability, combining smooth acceleration with easy manners in traffic and steady composure on the highway. For quick weekend getaways, the ability to tow up to 1,500 lbs. helps you bring along small trailers or extra gear, expanding what is possible for your adventures without moving into a larger vehicle.

Versatile cargo space with available AutoSense Power Liftgate

Equinox is built to adapt as your week unfolds. The folding 60/40 split-bench rear seat allows for long items and passengers to ride comfortably at the same time, and with the rear seats folded, you can access up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume. Hidden storage beneath the rear cargo floor helps protect valuables and reduces cabin clutter on family trips. Loading is easier with the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate. When your hands are full, the liftgate opens automatically as you approach with the key fob, making quick work of grocery runs or sports practices. Inside, the convenient center console with pass-through storage keeps frequently used items organized and within easy reach, so you can get in, get going, and keep the cabin tidy throughout the week.

Distinct design choices: LT, RS, and ACTIV

The Equinox lineup offers a look and feel for every driver. LT is an exceptional everyday driver with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. RS turns heads with a unique RS-only grille and lower fascia, Black emblems and badging, Black roof rails and mirror caps, 19-inch wheels, an available two-tone Black roof, and a flat-bottom steering wheel with Torch Red or Santorini Blue stitching. ACTIV leans into adventure with 17-inch machined wheels, all-terrain tires, uniquely tuned suspension, and Evotex plus sueded microfiber seating surfaces with ACTIV stitched into the head restraints. Want even more attitude? The Midnight Edition, available on LT, adds a high-contrast, Blacked-out aesthetic with exclusive 19-inch Black wheels, high-gloss Black mirror caps, Black roof rails, and Black grille, badging, and bowties. Whichever direction you choose, the strong lines, confident stance, and distinctive fascias make Equinox unmistakable.
