Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox

Google built-in with 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen

The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen is the command center for the Equinox, and it now works with Google built-in so you can access Google Assistant, Google Maps, and more with your voice. That means hands-on-the-wheel convenience for directions, messages, and apps. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility help you step into your day without cables, and the available wireless phone charging pad keeps your smartphone powered and ready. Right in front of you, an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center presents navigation prompts, active safety alerts, and key vehicle data in a crisp, easy-to-read layout. It’s thoughtfully designed technology that reduces clutter and makes essential information feel close at hand.

Chevy Safety Assist and over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features

Equinox makes confidence standard. Chevy Safety Assist includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Beyond that foundation, available features such as HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Side Bicyclist Alert help you see more and react sooner. The system design emphasizes awareness—helping you maintain lane position, manage following distance, and detect hazards in front, alongside, and behind. It’s a comprehensive approach that supports your driving, whether you’re navigating city streets or backing into a tight spot at a trailhead.

Standard Drive Mode Selector with 1.5L Turbo and available all-wheel drive

The 1.5L Turbo brings a confident blend of power and efficiency, tuned for smooth response in daily driving. The standard Drive Mode Selector helps you tailor the Equinox to road and traction conditions with just a quick dial turn, while available all-wheel drive adds traction on demand when surfaces vary. The result is an SUV that feels at home on neighborhood streets, county highways, and unpaved access roads alike. Equinox is also rated to tow up to 1,500 lbs. when properly equipped, so bringing along a small trailer or extra gear is well within reach. It’s balanced capability that lets you do more without stepping up to a larger vehicle.

63.5 cu. ft. max cargo volume and available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate

Inside, the Equinox is set up to handle busy schedules and bulky items. Fold the 60/40 split-bench rear seat to open up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume. Under the rear cargo floor, hidden storage helps keep smaller items out of view, and the convenient center console with pass-through gives you a smart place for water bottles, tablets, or a small bag. Loading and unloading is easier with the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate—walk up, kick under the bumper with the key fob nearby, and the liftgate opens so your hands can stay on the gear you’re carrying. It’s the kind of everyday convenience you appreciate every time you pack up.

RS and ACTIV design with unique grilles and available two-tone roof

Equinox offers distinctive personalities right from the factory. RS leans into a sporty aesthetic with a unique RS-only grille and lower fascia, Black emblems and badging, 19-inch machined wheels with available 20-inch wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and available two-tone Black roof. Inside, the Torch Red and Santorini Blue stitching plus RS-debossed head restraints add a performance vibe. ACTIV brings a rugged, adventure-forward look with 17-inch machined wheels, all-terrain tires for added grip, a uniquely tuned suspension, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, roof rails, and an available two-tone white roof. Prefer sophisticated stealth? The Midnight Edition available on LT adds exclusive Black wheels and accents for a clean, monochromatic statement. However you style it, Equinox looks unmistakably modern and purpose-built.
