Thomas Chevrolet is proud to offer the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox to drivers seeking a perfect balance of comfort, versatility, and technology. Below is everything shoppers typically want to know before they buy or lease. From powertrain details, real-world usability, trims and pricing, tech and safety features, dimensions, towing, mileage expectations, and more, we cover it all.
What’s New and Where It Fits
The 2026 Equinox continues the full redesign introduced for the 2025 model year, carrying over the modern cabin with dual displays, bolder styling, and a simplified lineup centered around three personalities: LT (everyday comfort), RS (sporty look), and ACTIV (adventure-inspired). Each model includes an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch Driver Information Center, with over 15 standard driver-assist features. Starting MSRP is $28,700 for LT, while RS and ACTIV both start at $33,600 before destination, taxes, and options.
Trims & Pricing
- LT — Best for value seekers who still want heated front seats/steering wheel and the big screens. Starting at $28,700.
- RS — Blacked-out accents, flat-bottom steering wheel, 19-inch wheels, optional Black two-tone roof. Starting at $33,600.
- ACTIV — Rugged appearance, 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, sueded microfiber seating, available white two-tone roof. Starting at $33,600.
Powertrain, Drivability & Towing
Every 2026 Equinox uses a 1.5-liter turbo 4-cylinder (FWD standard, AWD available). Expect 175 hp and a smooth, easygoing drive with a CVT in FWD and an 8-speed automatic in AWD models. A Drive Mode Selector helps tailor response to conditions. When properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs (AWD).
Interior Space, Cargo & Everyday Utility
The redesigned cabin emphasizes visibility and storage. You get a pass-through center console, a configurable 60/40 split rear bench, hidden under-floor cargo storage, and an available AutoSense hands-free power liftgate. Maximum cargo volume is 63.5 cu ft with the rear seat folded; there’s about 29.8 cu ft behind the second row for daily use.
