2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is available in three distinctive trim levels: LT, ACTIV, and RS. The LT features clean exterior lines, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and contemporary LED lighting that gives the Equinox a polished appearance. For drivers who prefer a more adventurous look, the ACTIV introduces rugged styling elements, 17-inch machined wheels with all-terrain tires, and an available two-tone roof. The RS takes a sportier approach with black exterior accents, a distinctive grille, 19-inch machined wheels, and available 20-inch wheels. Each trim offers unique design details while maintaining the Equinox's sculpted proportions and confident road presence.

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox features a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower, delivering responsive power for everyday driving. Front-wheel-drive models pair the engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while available all-wheel-drive configurations use an eight-speed automatic transmission. This arrangement provides smooth acceleration during daily commutes and steady power delivery at highway speeds. The available all-wheel-drive system adds traction when road conditions change, making it a practical option for drivers traveling throughout New Bern, Jacksonville, and surrounding coastal communities.

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is engineered to provide composed handling, comfortable ride quality, and practical capability. Its independent suspension helps absorb uneven pavement, while responsive electric power steering supports confident maneuvering through city streets and winding roads. A standard Drive Mode Selector allows drivers to adjust vehicle behavior, and available all-wheel drive provides additional traction when needed. When properly equipped, the Equinox offers a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, making it suitable for pulling certain small utility trailers. Whether you're running errands around New Bern or traveling along US-70 toward Morehead City, the Equinox delivers an approachable driving experience.

Inside the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox, a thoughtfully arranged cabin provides seating for five passengers, generous storage solutions, and modern connectivity features. An 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen serves as the centerpiece of the dashboard, accompanied by an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility make accessing music, messages, and compatible smartphone applications convenient, while Google built-in provides access to connected navigation and other supported services. Available heated front seats, ventilated seating, and refined upholstery options enhance cabin comfort. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats expand the cargo area to a maximum of 63.5 cubic feet, providing flexibility for groceries, luggage, sporting equipment, and family essentials.
