The attractive, highly capable 2026 Chevy Equinox has an abundance of cargo space and excellent tech features as standard. It’s a solid 5-seat, all-wheel-drive compact SUV that’s ideal for family trips and errands. Read on to learn more.

Standard All-Wheel Drive
The 2026 Equinox delivers a very stable drive with surefooted traction, helped by standard all-wheel drive. Whatever the weather or quality of road surface, you’ll have more confidence with each wheel powered.
8-Speed Automatic Transmission
A reliable 8-speed automatic transmission means fewer jumps from gear to gear and much smoother acceleration when you tap into the 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine. The better gear spacing also helps the Equinox’s very decent fuel efficiency and towing capacity.
Superb Standard Safety Features
The 2026 Equinox comes with a generous selection of advanced safety features, many of which you’d only find as optional on other vehicles. You’re protected by front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, an HD rear vision camera, blind zone steering assist, intersection automatic emergency braking, a passenger sensing system, and plenty more clever support tech. All in all, this is an exceptionally safe SUV.
11.3-Inch Infotainment Display
With a large 11.3-inch infotainment display that has intuitive controls and Google Built-In, you have straightforward access to all kinds of apps and services. This screen sits to the right of your user-friendly and customizable 11-inch digital dash.
Comfort and Convenience Packages
For everyday cabin luxuries and comfort upgrades, you have Chevrolet’s first convenience package as standard. This means heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and fold-down visors for the driver and front passenger with illuminated vanity mirrors.
You also get remote engine start functionality and more to make your drives easier, safer, and more comfortable. The top two trims have additional convenience packages with even more in-cabin goodies.
Adaptable Drive Mode Selector
Even the base Equinox trim gets a range of drive modes as standard in 2026. At any time, you can switch modes to adjust engine throttle, traction control, and other vital vehicle settings to meet the needs of changing road conditions. When cruising on the highway, you can choose a mode that makes optimal use of fuel, and if your tires encounter slippery surfaces during winter, select a mode that minimizes wheel spin and maximizes traction instead.
Active Noise Cancellation
The peace and comfort of your SUV’s interior is supported by active noise cancellation. This system detects certain louder sounds from outside the cabin and emits anti-noise, which significantly quiets the interior. This keeps you and your passengers calmer, happier, and even more energized on longer drives.
