What Shoppers Usually Want to Pin Down First

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is a five-passenger compact crossover SUV offered in three
trim levels – LT, RS, and ACTIV – with all-wheel drive available across the full lineup.
Every 2026 Equinox is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged DOHC four-cylinder engine
producing 175 horsepower. Front-wheel-drive models pair that engine with a continuously
variable transmission (CVT) and are EPA-rated at 26 mpg city / 29 mpg highway /
27 mpg combined; all-wheel-drive models switch to an eight-speed automatic transmission
and are rated 25 mpg city / 29 mpg highway / 26 mpg combined. The engine runs on regular
unleaded fuel.

On space: the 2026 Equinox measures 183.2 inches long, 74.9 inches wide (excluding mirrors),
and 65.6 inches tall, on a 107.5-inch wheelbase with approximately 8 inches of ground
clearance. Front legroom is 40.9 inches and rear legroom is 39.9 inches – generous figures
worth checking in person. Cargo space behind the second row is 29.8 cubic feet, expanding
to 63.5 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-bench rear seat is folded flat. Questions worth
asking the team: which trim best fits your priorities, and is your preferred drivetrain
currently in stock?

Technology, Safety, and Comfort Highlights

Every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes with a dual-screen digital cockpit: an 11.3-inch
diagonal infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center,
standard across all trims. Google Built-In is also standard, integrating Google Maps,
Google Assistant, and Google Play apps natively so the system works independently of a
connected phone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are included as well.

On the safety side, every 2026 Equinox ships with Chevy Safety Assist as standard equipment,
covering Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane
Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam
automatic high beams – more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features in total.
Available upgrades include HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Traffic Sign
Recognition, and a Rear Camera Mirror. Ask the team which of those technologies come
standard on the trim you are considering.

Standard comfort features on the LT include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel,
remote engine start, a power driver’s seat, and an integrated garage door opener. A
standard Drive Mode Selector lets the driver adjust vehicle settings for different
conditions. For towing, the 2026 Equinox is rated up to 1,500 pounds with all-wheel drive
and the available Trailering Package, or up to 800 pounds on front-wheel-drive models.
