2026 Chevrolet Equinox Model Review - Decatur, IL

What's New for the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox?

For the 2026 model year, Chevy now outfits every trim with Driver Mode Control. This innovation lets you customize the vehicle's behavior by choosing different drive modes. Also, the new Polar White Tricoat exterior color replaces last year's Iridescent Pearl Tricoat.

What Are the 2026 Equinox Trims & Features?

The 2026 Equinox comes in three trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV. The LT trim impresses with an 11.3-inch touchscreen featuring Google built-in, an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster, and heated front seats as standard.

With the RS trim, you'll get a more aggressive look thanks to 19-inch alloy wheels and a blacked-out grille. A flat-bottom steering wheel reinforces its sporty vibe.

For off-road enthusiasts, the ACTIV trim includes all-terrain tires and a unique suspension tune. Inside, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces heighten the cabin's refinement.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Equinox Have?

Under the hood is a 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine rated at 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive versions use a CVT, while all-wheel drive models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission. With the right equipment, towing capacity reaches 1,500 pounds.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Equinox Include?

Every Equinox includes Chevy Safety Assist, which consists of six driver-assist features. Front Pedestrian Brakes provide added security in busy areas, and the Following Distance Indicator helps you keep a safe gap. Additional features include Automatic Emergency Brakes, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and IntelliBeam auto-adjusting headlights.
