2026 Chevy Equinox LT: Just the Beginning
The base model 2026 Chevy Equinox LT strikes the perfect balance between comfort, technology, and value.
It comes well-equipped with 17-inch machined-face wheels, automatic high-beam headlights, remote start, and heated exterior mirrors. Inside, you’ll enjoy heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, along with modern tech features like an 11-inch digital driver display and an 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built in. With wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, plus 5G Wi-Fi hotspot access, staying connected on the go is easier than ever.
Chevrolet has prioritized safety with advanced systems like:
- Forward collision warning with automatic braking
- Lane departure mitigation
- Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert
- Blind-spot intervention
- Intersection collision mitigation
- Programmable teen driver settings
If you’re looking for something a little extra, opt for the available Convenience Package II, which adds premium touches such as an eight-way power driver’s seat, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a heated wiper rest, dual-zone automatic climate control, a hands-free power liftgate, and a wireless smartphone charger. For a bolder look, choose the Midnight Edition package. This appearance package features 19-inch LT wheels, roof rails, and sleek black exterior mirror caps.
2026 Chevy Equinox RS: Sporty and Bold
Sport and sophistication come together in the 2026 Chevy Equinox RS. This trim builds on the LT with bold styling and more premium features.
The RS comes standard with the Midnight Edition package, giving it a more aggressive look. It also includes everything from the Convenience Package II, adding comfort and convenience features like dual-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, and a wireless smartphone charger. Inside, you’ll ride in comfort with synthetic leather upholstery, which combines style and practicality for a driving experience that’s ready for wherever the road takes you.
2026 Chevy Equinox Activ: Top of the Line
If you love adventure and want your SUV to look the part, choose the 2026 Chevy Equinox Activ. Building on the RS trim, the Activ adds off-road characteristics with exclusive 17-inch wheels, durable all-terrain tires, and a revised front that gives it a bolder, more rugged look. Inside the cabin, durability and comfort come together with synthetic leather and suede upholstery, offering a premium feel that’s ready for both everyday drives and weekend getaways.
Both the RS and Activ trims offer an available Convenience Package III, which includes an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and memory settings for the driver.
For even more peace of mind behind the wheel, you can add a Safety and Technology Package to all three 2026 Equinox trims. This package includes:
- Fog lights
- A digital rearview mirror for enhanced visibility
- A surround-view camera system for easier parking
- A rear pedestrian alert to help you avoid hazards when reversing
You can also personalize your Equinox Activ with available stand-alone options like two-tone paint or a panoramic sunroof, to top off the Equinox's adventurous design.
