Mark Allen Chevrolet - What to Know About the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox brings a smart blend of style, everyday comfort, and weekend-ready capability to the compact SUV class. It’s engineered for families, commuters, and adventurers who want a confident drive without complication. At Mark Allen Chevrolet, serving Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and Jenks, we focus on helping you match the right trim and options to your routine so you get the most value out of every mile.
From its bolder grille to its refined cabin, the newest Equinox feels modern yet familiar. Multiple trims let you choose your personality — from athletic to adventurous — and thoughtful details throughout the cabin make daily life easier. If you’re returning to the segment or upgrading from an older SUV, this model’s step-up in screen size, safety coverage, and storage flexibility stands out right away.
- LT: A well-equipped starting point with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a large infotainment display for easy everyday use.
- RS: Sport-infused looks and feel with unique grille and fascia, bold dark accents, and a flat-bottom steering wheel for an energetic aesthetic.
- ACTIV: Rugged character designed to explore with distinctive styling, all-terrain tires, and a tuned suspension that’s ready for unpaved detours.
Inside, the Equinox centers everything around visibility and simplicity. You get an intuitive interface, clear sightlines, and smart storage that keeps essentials exactly where you need them. The available two-tone roof and premium stitching on select models add personality, while the pass-through center console helps organize devices and day-to-day items without clutter.
- Displays: A large 11.3-inch infotainment touch-screen pairs with a digital driver display for crisp, glanceable information.
- Connectivity: Google built-in, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, help you navigate, message, and stream with voice commands.
- Convenience: Available wireless phone charging and multiple USB ports keep power flowing on busy schedules.
On the road, the Equinox feels balanced and composed. A turbocharged engine provides confident acceleration, while the Drive Mode Selector helps tailor response to conditions. The chassis tuning is comfortable around town yet steady at highway speeds, and steering feel inspires confidence in parking lots and on winding backroads alike.
- Turbocharged efficiency: Smooth power delivery for merging and passing, with a calm, fuel-conscious temperament for daily use.
- All-wheel drive: Available traction for rain-soaked commutes, gravel drives, and weekend getaways.
- Towing-ready confidence: When properly equipped, it’s capable of handling small trailers or gear for outdoor adventures.
Safety is a core part of the 2026 Equinox story. You’ll find broad standard coverage plus available upgrades that expand visibility and awareness. As always, driver attention remains essential — technology is there to assist, not replace, safe driving habits.
- Chevy Safety Assist: A bundle of advanced features that can help with front collisions, lane keeping, and night driving.
- Surround awareness: Available HD Surround Vision provides a bird’s-eye perspective for tight spots and tricky angles.
- Parking peace of mind: Available Rear Cross Traffic Braking and a Rear Camera Mirror enhance confidence in busy lots.
- Driver alerts: Tools like Following Distance Indicator and Forward Collision Alert help maintain safer spacing.
Cargo flexibility is another highlight. With split-folding rear seats and hidden storage under the cargo floor, packing for road trips, home projects, or sports practice is straightforward. The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading easier when your hands are full, and roof rails open the door to bikes, boards, and bulkier gear.
If you’re choosing your first Equinox, start with your daily drive — then layer in the extras that fit your lifestyle. Prefer an expressive look and city-friendly agility? RS may be perfect. Need added clearance and traction for trailheads? ACTIV offers the aesthetic and hardware to match. We can also help you explore accessories and protection packages for a custom fit without overbuying.
