2026 Chevy Equinox Overview: What’s New in Chevy’s Popular SUV

2026 Equinox Basics and Updates2026 Chevy Equinox | Glenview, IL

The 2026 Equinox may be a small SUV, but the five-seat interior offers 41 inches of legroom in the front and only an inch less in the second row still make it ideal for transporting adult passengers. A 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine powers every model with 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission are standard, while upgrading to the optional all-wheel drive system also unlocks an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Because the Equinox received a major redesign for 2025, there are few updates to the latest lineup, but all models now feature a standard drive mode selector.


Versatile Interior

Active noise cancellation creates a serene cabin atmosphere by using the audio system to actively cancel road noise. Comfy bucket seats are standard in front, which include heat settings, a six-way manual adjustment for the driver, and a four-way adjustment for the front passenger. An eight-way power driver seat becomes standard in the ACTIV trim and above, and front seat ventilation is available.

Rear-seat passengers will enjoy a folding center armrest with two integrated cupholders and extra small-item storage, while map pockets on both front seatbacks offer even more places to stow belongings. Heated rear outboard seats are available. The generous 29.8 cubic foot cargo space has plenty of room for all your gear, but folding the rear seats down expands the capacity to 63.5 cubic feet when you need to haul larger loads.


Standard Technology

Every 2026 Equinox features an 11-inch reconfigurable digital gauge cluster with a high-contrast display behind the steering wheel, allowing you to personalize vehicle information, warning messages, and other features. The standard 11.3-inch center display includes Google built-in, navigation capability, personalized driver profiles, natural voice recognition, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and wireless smartphone integration for compatible devices. Standard driver assistance features include blind zone steering assist, lane keep assist, and rear park assist.

With its rugged good looks and long list of standard features, the 2026 Equinox is ready to deliver you to every destination. Take it out for a test drive when you drop by Jennings Chevrolet in Glenview, IL!
