How much cargo space does the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offer for daily life in Glenpool, OK?

Mark Allen Chevrolet - How much cargo space does the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offer for daily life in Glenpool, OK?

When shoppers in Glenpool, OK ask about the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox, one of the first questions we hear at Mark Allen Chevrolet is simple and practical: how much room is there for real life. From weekly grocery runs in Glenpool to weekend adventures at Keystone Lake, the Equinox is designed to flex around your plans with smart storage, easy seat folding, and thoughtful access features that make loading and unloading a breeze.

Chevrolet engineered the 2026 Equinox to deliver capability without bulk. Inside, you get flexible seating that folds flat in seconds, a wide load floor, and hidden storage to keep valuables out of sight. Pair that with the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate and a low lift-over height, and you will find that packing up the family, the dog, and everyone’s gear is refreshingly straightforward.

Here is the quick snapshot of the cargo story, followed by practical guidance on how that space works in everyday Glenpool driving.

• Max cargo volume: 63.5 cu. ft.
• Seat versatility: Folding 60/40 split-bench seat
• Underfloor storage: Hidden storage beneath rear cargo area
• Hands-free access: Available AutoSense Power Liftgate
• Roof-ready: Available roof rails for oversized gear

That capacity is only part of the story. The 60/40 split-bench keeps the Equinox adaptable when you need to carry passengers and longer items at the same time — think soccer bags and a stroller after practice, or a couple of fishing rods plus a cooler for a morning at Keystone. The hidden underfloor compartment helps declutter the cabin by stowing smaller items like roadside kits, tablet sleeves, or a purse out of view.

Chevrolet’s attention to everyday details shows up beyond the cargo bay. The convenient center console with pass-through gives you a place to keep essentials up front, while the 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep navigation, playlists, and calls within easy reach. It is a smart cabin that works hard and stays organized — helpful when you are juggling drop-offs in Tulsa or a run down US-75.

For those planning larger hauls, the Equinox supports up to 1,500 lbs. of towing when properly equipped, ideal for a small utility trailer or a light pop-up for quick getaways. And if your plans include gravel drives or trailheads around Lake Bixhoma, the available all-wheel drive and standard Drive Mode Selector help put traction where you want it.

Families weighing trims will find that every model delivers the same clever foundations for cargo. The adventurous ACTIV adds all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension for confidence on rougher paths, while roof rails let you carry bikes or a cargo box when cabin space is full. The sporty RS stands out with a bold look and still gives you the same practical folding seat versatility you expect from an Equinox.

Loading is smooth too. The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate can open when your hands are full — perfect for grocery days at the store or after a Costco run. The liftgate height can be set to accommodate lower garages, and the wide opening makes it simple to position larger boxes or a travel kennel.

Technology also supports your packing plans. HD Surround Vision can assist when backing near curbs or lining up by the garage, and Adaptive Cruise Control is there for longer highway drives to the lake. Inside, OnStar® and Google built-in can help with voice-guided directions, finding fuel, or locating a coffee stop on your way out of Glenpool.

To help you visualize your own routine, here are a few common Glenpool use cases where the Equinox shines.

1. Family errands and school drop-offs — keep one rear seat up for a child seat and fold the other side flat for backpacks, instruments, and groceries.
2. Weekend sports — stand soccer bags and a folding sideline chair along the cargo sidewall; stow cleats and snacks in the underfloor compartment.
3. Outdoor escapes — fold both rear seats for camping totes and soft duffels; use available roof rails for bikes or a small cargo carrier.

As always, safety comes first. Over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features — including Chevy Safety Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® — bring added confidence while you are on the move with family and gear. Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can a full-size stroller fit behind the second row?

Yes. The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offers a wide cargo opening and a deep load floor. Most full-size strollers will fit lengthwise with the second row up, leaving room for diaper bags or groceries alongside.

Do the rear seats fold flat for larger items?

The 60/40 split-bench folds to create a near-flat load floor for longer items like camping totes, skis, or a boxed TV. You can fold one side to keep a rear passenger belted in while carrying longer cargo.

Is there secure storage for valuables?

Yes. Hidden storage under the rear cargo floor helps keep smaller valuables out of sight — ideal for laptops, small camera bags, or a handbag during a day in Tulsa or Broken Arrow.

How does the hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate work when my hands are full?

With the key fob nearby, the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate can open without pressing a button. It is especially helpful when carrying boxes, sports gear, or groceries. You can also set the liftgate height for low-clearance garages.
