Engine & Performance

One Turbo Engine, Front- or All-Wheel Drive

Every 2026 Equinox uses the same 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, making 175 horsepower. Front-wheel-drive models pair it with a continuously variable transmission and are rated at an EPA-estimated 26 city / 29 highway / 27 combined mpg. Adding all-wheel drive swaps in an eight-speed automatic, bumps torque to 203 lb-ft, and is rated 25 city / 29 highway / 26 combined. AWD adds $2,000 on any trim and is the pick for icy Northwest Arkansas mornings and gravel county roads. Properly equipped with the Trailering Package, an AWD Equinox tows up to 1,500 lbs — enough for a small utility trailer or a pair of jet skis.

Technology & Safety

Google Built-In and Chevy Safety Assist Standard

Every Equinox comes with an 11.3-inch touchscreen running Google Built-In — Google Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store native to the dash — plus an 11-inch digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB-C ports. Wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate, and a surround-view camera are available across the lineup.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all three trims, bundling automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, a following-distance indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high beams. Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on RS and ACTIV and available on LT through an option package; adaptive cruise control is available. Our team can confirm exactly which driver aids are on any given unit before you drive it.

Cargo & Passenger Space

Room for Five and Their Gear

The Equinox seats five across two rows with a 60/40 split-folding rear bench. There's 29.8 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row — groceries, strollers, and a Costco run from the Rogers store — expanding to 63.5 cubic feet with the seats folded for mountain-bike or move-in duty. A hands-free power liftgate is standard on RS and ACTIV. At 183.2 inches long and 74.9 inches wide, it slips into a standard garage and tight Bentonville Square parking without drama.
