The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox arrives with the confidence of a model that knows precisely what it’s doing. It looks sharper, drives smarter, and brings a level of everyday usefulness that makes life in Winnsboro, SC feel just a little more sorted. Compact SUVs aren’t short of competition these days, but the latest Equinox responds with style, technology, and an agreeable driving manner that feels instantly familiar yet pleasantly improved.
Stunning Design and Versatile Features
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox wears its new look well. The front end is more assertive, the lighting signatures cleaner, and the available two-tone roof adds a touch of flair without straying into theatrics. Inside, Chevrolet has lifted the ambience with available Evotex upholstery, sueded microfiber seating surfaces, and neatly trimmed panels that feel more premium than you’d expect in this segment.
Flexibility is the real party trick. With 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo room available when the 60/40 rear seats are folded, the cabin easily adapts to family duties, weekend escapes, or an overzealous Costco run. The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate proves its worth every time you approach the vehicle with arms full of bags and absolutely no desire to set anything down.
Advanced Technology for Everyday Innovation
Chevrolet has given the 2026 Equinox a tech suite that’s remarkably intuitive. The standard 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and 11-inch Driver Information Center sit neatly within the dash, placing all essential functions where you expect them to be. Wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and available wireless charging keep the cabin tidy and connected.
Google built-in is available for those who prefer voice-driven navigation and app control, making the system feel more like an extension of your smartphone than a separate interface. Safety is equally well addressed with over 15 standard assistance features, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and IntelliBeam® headlights. The Equinox quietly goes about its job of looking after you, just as a modern SUV should.
Performance That Powers Your Journey
Under the bonnet, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox uses a 1.5L Turbocharged engine delivering 175 hp. It’s an engine tuned less for theatrics and more for smooth, predictable performance — exactly what daily driving demands. The Drive Mode Selector allows you to tailor response, and available all-wheel drive provides added assurance on loose or wet surfaces.
Towing capability reaches 1,500 lbs., enough for small trailers, lightweight gear, or a modest weekend setup. It’s this balance of usable power and sensible efficiency that makes the Equinox such an easy SUV to live with.

Chevrolet offers the Equinox in trims that suit a broad range of tastes:
