Distinct personalities across LT, RS, and ACTIV trims mean you can lean sporty with RS details such as Black emblems and a flat-bottom steering wheel, or choose the rugged look of ACTIV with all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces. In short, Equinox blends style, practicality, and confidence in a smart, right-sized package.
Shoppers appreciate how the 2026 Equinox delivers modern convenience without complicating daily life. The cabin tech is intuitive, safety features are robust, and the chassis is tuned for comfort and control on Wisconsin roads. Whether you value the commanding view, available all-wheel drive confidence, or the upscale interior touches and stitching, Equinox is designed to make every trip feel a little easier.
The heart of the cabin is a large, 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen that brings a crisp interface, quick responses, and integrated Google built-in. Using Google Assistant, you can control key functions with your voice, from navigation to calls and messages, helping you keep eyes on the road. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility come along for seamless smartphone integration, and an available wireless phone charging pad keeps your device powered without clutter. The display pairs with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, so your navigation cues, safety alerts, and vehicle data are easy to view at a glance. The result is everyday tech that feels natural the first time you use it.
Equinox starts you off right with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, anchored by Chevy Safety Assist. This package includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Beyond the core suite, you can add available advanced features like HD Surround Vision, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and a Rear Camera Mirror. These systems are designed to enhance your awareness and confidence, whether you are navigating busy downtown streets or backing into a tight space at the park. Thoughtful calibration helps the features feel helpful rather than intrusive, and key alerts are displayed clearly on the screens in front of you.
Wisconsin weather can change quickly, and Equinox has the available all-wheel drive you want for confidence when conditions call for it. Traction on demand helps optimize grip, while the standard Drive Mode Selector lets you tailor responses for the road ahead. Combined with the efficient 1.5L Turbo engine producing 175 hp, the chassis tunes comfort and stability for commuting, school drop-offs, or weekend road trips. Equinox also offers up to 1,500 lbs. of towing capability when properly equipped, adding versatility for small trailers or gear. It is an easy SUV to trust year-round.
Inside, Equinox emphasizes useful space and smart access. Fold the 60/40 split-bench rear seat to open up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume, or keep one side up when passengers and longer items need to ride together. A hidden storage area under the rear cargo floor helps keep essentials out of sight, and the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate streamlines loading when your hands are full—just approach with the key fob and it opens automatically. From weekly grocery runs to camping gear and athletic equipment, Equinox makes packing up simple and secure.
Equinox gives you expressive choices. The sporty RS stands out with a unique RS-only grille and front fascia, Black emblems and badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and 19-inch machined wheels with available 20-inch wheels. Inside, look for Torch Red and Santorini Blue interior stitching and RS debossed head restraints. For a more adventurous vibe, ACTIV turns heads with an off-road appearance, 17-inch machined wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, and a uniquely tuned suspension. The cabin feels refined with Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces and ACTIV stitched into the head restraints. You can elevate the look further with an available two-tone roof—Black on RS or white on ACTIV—and roof rails to carry extra gear.
Our product specialists will help you compare features side by side, sit in each trim, and map options to your needs. From screen preferences to seating surfaces, we will walk through what matters most so you can confidently select the right Equinox configuration.
