The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox model’s sterling reputation isn’t built on smoke and mirrors or complex explanations of its capabilities. Instead, this compact crossover SUV’s exceptional styling, performance, and versatility are readily apparent and easy to appreciate. It’s a five-passenger model virtually unmatched in its class, and after last year’s redesign, Casey Chevrolet customers can expect the best of everything.
This new Chevy SUV comes in three trims, each powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. There are two powertrains to consider. The first pairs the engine with front-wheel drive (FWD) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for an output of 175 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. You can also match the engine to an all-wheel drive (AWD) and an eight-speed automatic transmission, which increases torque to 203 lb-ft.
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offers practical versatility for drivers who need extra hauling capability. This compact SUV can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped, making it suitable for small trailers, jet skis, or a lightweight camper. Inside, the Equinox provides up to 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, while the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats allow flexible configurations to accommodate passengers and gear. Whether you’re heading out on a weekend trip or loading up after a big shopping run, the Equinox delivers the everyday utility you need.
Test drive the 2026 Chevy Equinox for an up-close look at its terrific infotainment platform. It’s easy to use, functions intuitively, and has many appealing features. The platform’s centerpiece is a dual 11-inch digital instrument panel and 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in™. Standard amenities include a 5G Wi-Fi® hotspot and wireless smartphone connectivity. And if you buy either the midrange 2026 Chevrolet Equinox RS or top-line 2026 Chevy Equinox ACTIV, you’ll also get wireless smartphone charging.
In addition to its premium infotainment features, the 2026 Chevy Equinox model’s cabin boasts a dynamic combination of spaciousness and versatility. Climb inside at our Newport News, VA Chevy dealership and you’ll appreciate this SUV’s 63.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume and its flexible 60/40 folding split-bench seat. There’s also hidden storage under the rear cargo floor and an available hands-free power liftgate for easy loading and unloading of gear.
Chevrolet prioritizes peace of mind in the 2026 Equinox by equipping it with advanced safety and driver-assistance features. Standard across all trims is the Chevy Safety Assist® package, which includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Following Distance Indicator. Additional available features such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control further enhance driver confidence on busy roads and highways.
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes backed by Chevrolet’s comprehensive warranty coverage. This includes a 3-year/36,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation are also included for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Buyers also receive one complimentary maintenance visit within the first year of ownership under the Chevrolet Complete Care program for added peace of mind.
Compared to the all-electric Chevy Equinox EV, the gas-powered 2026 Equinox emphasizes traditional driving convenience with widespread fueling access and a familiar powertrain. While the Equinox EV offers instant torque, zero emissions, and an estimated driving range designed for eco-conscious drivers, the gas model provides quick refueling, established towing capability, and no need for home charging infrastructure. Both models share Chevrolet’s latest tech and safety features, but cater to different lifestyles, one grounded in efficiency and electric innovation, the other in proven versatility and everyday practicality.
