Get ready, automotive enthusiasts! The highly anticipated 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is here, and it’s set to redefine your expectations for a compact SUV. Building on its recent redesign, this new model brings even more style, innovation, and capability to the road, making it the perfect companion for both daily commutes and thrilling weekend escapes.
While the 2026 Equinox carries over the striking new design introduced in its previous iteration, Chevrolet has refined and enhanced key aspects to elevate the driving experience. From updated aesthetics to cutting-edge technology and enhanced safety features, there’s a lot to love in this latest iteration.
What’s New and Exciting for 2026?
1. Refined Design and Fresh Hues: The 2026 Equinox maintains its rugged yet sophisticated exterior, but with a touch of new flair. Keep an eye out for the stunning Polar White Tricoat exterior color, replacing the Iridescent Pearl Tricoat on select trims like the Activ and RS. You’ll also find the popular Mosaic Black two-tone roof option still available, allowing for even more personalization and a truly distinctive look. The Activ trim continues to impress with its adventurous aesthetic, while the RS boasts a sportier profile with blacked-out accents and larger wheels.
2. Intelligent Interior for the Modern Driver: Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a cabin that blends comfort, functionality, and cutting-edge technology. The 2026 Equinox features an impressive 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, making it easier than ever to access navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information. With Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, staying connected on the go is seamless.
Beyond the screens, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful details like available wireless phone charging, ambient lighting, and rear-seat air vents, ensuring comfort for all passengers. The Activ trim offers a unique Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surface with “ACTIV” stitched into the head restraints, adding a touch of rugged luxury.
3. Enhanced Performance and Versatility: Under the hood, the 2026 Equinox continues to offer a 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine, delivering a balanced blend of power and fuel efficiency. For AWD models, an 8-speed automatic transmission provides a more refined and responsive driving experience compared to the CVT found on FWD trims.
Whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling unpaved roads, the Equinox is ready. All trims now come standard with a Drive Mode Selector, allowing you to customize your ride to suit various terrains. The Activ trim, with its all-terrain tires and uniquely tuned suspension, is particularly suited for those seeking adventure beyond the asphalt. Plus, with a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds, you can bring more of your gear along for the ride.
4. Advanced Safety Features Come Standard: Chevrolet continues its commitment to safety, and the 2026 Equinox is no exception. The comprehensive Chevy Safety Assist suite is standard across all trims, providing a robust set of driver assistance technologies. This includes features like:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Alert
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking (now standard)
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking (now standard)
