What makes the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox different from previous models?

The 2026 Chevy Equinox arrives with a major redesign. It borrows bold, truck-like styling cues from the Chevy Traverse. You get a more aggressive front fascia, sharper body lines, and improved aerodynamics. Inside, the cabin uses higher-quality materials and advanced noise cancellation for a quieter ride.

Under the hood, the proven 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 175 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive for better grip on Oregon's mountain roads near Mount Hood or the Deschutes River area.

What technology features come standard in the 2026 Equinox?

Every 2026 Equinox includes an 11-inch digital driver display and an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. That's a huge upgrade from prior years. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, plus a Wi-Fi hotspot to keep passengers connected on drives from Portland to The Dalles.

Higher trims add wireless phone charging, a 360-degree surround-view camera, and available 5G connectivity. The Chevy Safety Assist suite is standard across all trims, including automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and forward collision alert.

Which Equinox trim is right for you: LT, RS, or ACTIV?

Chevrolet offers three distinct personalities. The LT balances value and everyday convenience with remote start and active safety features. The RS trim adds black exterior accents, unique 19-inch wheels, and a sportier attitude. The ACTIV focuses on off-road capability with all-terrain tires and synthetic leather seating.

The 2026 Equinox continues to earn praise: U.S. News named it a finalist for Best Compact SUV for the Money, and it holds top safety scores from NHTSA. Whether commuting in Beaverton or exploring near Warm Springs, there's an Equinox built for you.
