The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox: An Impeccably Balanced Compact SUV

Handsome styling, sophisticated technology, and a spacious cabin have long defined the Chevy Equinox, and after last year’s redesign, these qualities shine brighter than ever. Today, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is the compact SUV fully realized, excelling in every category that’s important to customers. See these highlights with a visit to Lester Glenn Chevrolet.

Performance

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes in three trims and offers two powertrains. The standard powertrain consists of a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and a six-speed automatic transmission. This configuration outputs 175 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The upgraded powertrain pairs the same engine with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. This system boosts torque to 203 lb-ft.

In terms of towing, a properly equipped 2026 Chevy Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs – so this new Chevy SUV packs a lot of versatility. It’s also quite capable off-road, especially if you opt for the top-line 2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV. Designed for adventure, this trim comes with exclusive 17-inch wheels fitted with all-terrain tires, and a uniquely-tuned suspension for a confident off-road ride.

Infotainment

Every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes standard with a comprehensive infotainment platform. This includes an 11-inch digital instrument panel and an 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen powered by Google built-in™.

Through the touchscreen, you can access wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, OnStar® Connected Services, and a 5G WiFi® hotspot, all of which are standard. Moreover, wireless smartphone charging is available on the entry-level LT trim and standard on the RS and ACTIV trims.

Safety

The latest safety technologies come standard on this compact SUV in the form of the Chevy Safety Assist suite. If you’re not familiar with it, one of our Toms River, NJ, Chevy dealers will explain its great features, which include Lane-Departure Assist, Intersection Collision Mitigation, and Forward Collision Warning. Also, the entire Chevy Traverse lineup is eligible for the Safety & Technology package, which introduces fog lights, a Surround-View Camera System, and a Digital Rearview Mirror.
