Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox

11.3-inch Diagonal Infotainment Touch-Screen

The centerpiece of the 2026 Equinox cabin is its 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen—large, crisp, and thoughtfully placed so it is easy to reach without taking your eyes off the road for long. Menus are simple and quick to navigate, and the interface pairs seamlessly with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Google built-in takes convenience further, allowing you to use voice commands for directions, calls, messages, and compatible apps with Google Assistant. Add available wireless phone charging, and you have a connected driving experience that eliminates cable clutter while keeping your most-used features front and center.

Chevy Safety Assist

Confidence starts with what is standard. Chevy Safety Assist bundles key features that support your awareness and decision-making: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Together, they form a vigilant safety net that works in the background on every drive. Available enhancements amplify that capability, including HD Surround Vision for a virtual bird’s-eye view, Rear Camera Mirror for a wider view behind you, Side Bicyclist Alert for urban streets, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking for busy parking lots. The result is a compact SUV that helps you see more, react sooner, and drive with greater peace of mind.

Available All-Wheel Drive and Drive Mode Selector

When weather turns or the road gets rough, available all-wheel drive teams with the standard Drive Mode Selector to adapt your Equinox to changing conditions. Toggle between modes to refine throttle response and traction strategies, then let the system distribute power to the wheels that can use it most. It is easy confidence in rain, on gravel, or during a quick getaway to a lakeside trailhead. Pair AWD with the nimble, efficient 1.5L Turbo engine and precise steering, and you get a composed, predictable drive that never feels like it is working too hard—because it does the work for you.

63.5 cu. ft. Max Cargo Volume and Hands-Free AutoSense Power Liftgate

From grocery runs to gear-heavy weekends, the Equinox interior is a masterclass in practical space. The folding 60/40 split-bench rear seat quickly opens up cargo capacity, while hidden storage under the rear cargo floor lets you tuck valuables away from view. With up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume, larger items, sports kits, or luggage are easy to accommodate. The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate adds the final touch—approach with your key, and it opens so you can load without putting anything down. Inside the cabin, a convenient pass-through center console keeps essentials close, reducing clutter while adding everyday utility.

LT, RS, and ACTIV Trims

The 2026 Equinox offers three distinct personalities. LT is the polished, exceptionally equipped everyday driver, with heated front seats and steering wheel plus the large dual-screen layout. RS leans into sporty attitude with a unique RS-only grille and lower fascia, Black emblems and badging, 19-inch wheels with available 20-inch wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and eye-catching interior stitching available in Torch Red or Santorini Blue. ACTIV brings a rugged, trail-ready vibe with 17-inch machined wheels, all-terrain tires, uniquely tuned suspension, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces with ACTIV stitched into the head restraints. The available two-tone roof—Black on RS or White on ACTIV—pushes the style statement even further, and the LT-only Midnight Edition offers a dramatic, blacked-out look.
