About
About the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox & Equinox EV
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is Chevy's compact, five-passenger SUV, and for 2026 it comes two ways. The gas Equinox pairs a 175-horsepower 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder with front- or all-wheel drive across three trims, starting at $28,800 for the LT and $33,600 for the RS and ACTIV, and tows up to 1,500 pounds properly equipped (AWD). The all-electric Equinox EV adds three more trims from $34,995, with up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range and available Super Cruise hands-free driving. Both share Google Built-In and a wide 11.3-inch touchscreen, which makes either one a sensible daily driver for Northwest Arkansas commutes and weekend runs into the Ozarks.
For 2026 the gas Equinox carries over its 2025 redesign with the Drive Mode Selector now standard on every trim, while the Equinox EV stays focused on the value trims and its long range for the price. Pricing is before destination, tax and fees, and a 2026 Equinox EV bought today no longer qualifies for the now-expired federal EV tax credit. You can browse the current Equinox inventory or get pre-approved in minutes, then use the guides below to sort the details before you visit us in Bentonville.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox cost?
The gas Equinox LT starts at $28,800, with the RS and ACTIV both at $33,600 (before the $1,995 destination charge); all-wheel drive adds $2,000 on any trim. The all-electric Equinox EV runs from $34,995 for the LT1 up to about $44,095 for the top trim. Final price is set by the dealer and excludes tax, title, license and fees.
What's the difference between the Equinox and the Equinox EV?
The standard Equinox is gas-powered, with a 175-hp 1.5L turbo, front- or all-wheel drive, and EPA ratings around 27 mpg combined. The Equinox EV is fully electric, offering up to 319 miles of range, a single-motor front-drive or available dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, and the option of Super Cruise hands-free driving. They share a family resemblance and Google Built-In, but they are separate vehicles built on different platforms.
How far can the 2026 Equinox EV go on a charge?
Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-rated at up to 319 miles, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is rated up to 307 miles. The EV uses a CCS/J1772 charge port and supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, adding roughly 70 miles in about 10 minutes on a compatible fast charger. The EV Range & Charging guide above has the full breakdown.
How much can the gas Equinox tow?
A front-wheel-drive Equinox is rated to tow 800 pounds, and an all-wheel-drive model with the available Trailering Package is rated up to 1,500 pounds — enough for a small utility trailer or a pair of personal watercraft. Chevrolet does not publish a tow rating for the Equinox EV.
Does the 2026 Equinox EV qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit?
No. The federal clean-vehicle tax credit ended on September 30, 2025, so a new 2026 Equinox EV purchased today does not qualify for it. Ask our team about any current Chevrolet offers or financing instead — those change month to month.
