The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox continues to earn its reputation as one of the most well-rounded small SUVs on the market. For your daily commutes, school pickup lines, in-between grocery runs, and weekend road trips, the Equinox delivers the right blend of comfort, technology, and practicality in one fun-to-drive package. It’s the kind of vehicle that just makes sense for real life—and it’s available right here in New Bern, NC.
A Bold and Modern Design Across 3 Trims
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox makes a strong first impression from every angle. Its confident stance, strong body lines, and 2-tone roof options give it outstanding presence. Each trim level features its own unique grille and front fascia, adding to their unique character. The RS trim brings sporty assertiveness with black accents from mirrors to moldings and an available 2-tone black roof. The adventure-oriented ACTIV trim shows off 17” machined wheels housing all-terrain tires and its own 2-tone white roof, for drivers who want a more rugged edge.
The LT serves as the entry point and delivers impressive value, coming standard with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel—features you’d expect to pay extra for in this class. The LT trim also offers a Midnight Edition, bringing dark drama with high-gloss black mirror caps, exclusive 19” black wheels, black roof rails, and black grille, along with black badging and bowties, it’s a sleek, head-turner without upgrading to a higher trim.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
One area where the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox truly stands out is technology. The standard 11.3” infotainment touchscreen is one of the largest in its class, giving this Chevrolet family SUV a leg up on rivals that still offer only an 8” display at a similar price point. The 11” diagonal Driver Information Center rounds out a truly modern cockpit experience.
Wireless smartphone compatibility come standard, so your smartphone integrates seamlessly without reaching for a cable. Better yet, Google built-in lets you access apps, get directions, and control features using voice commands through Google Assistant. Available wireless phone charging keeps your devices powered on the go.
OnStar® connectivity adds another layer of convenience and peace of mind. Whether you need navigation assistance, roadside help, or remote vehicle access, OnStar keeps you connected wherever the road takes you.
Safety Features You Can Count On
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox puts your well-being first, equipped with more than 15 standard safety and driver assistance features. The Chevy Safety Assist package is included on every model and covers 6 essential protections like Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. All trims also come with Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, an HD Rear Vision Camera, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. These are features that help reduce stress and improve awareness in everyday driving situations. With these and many more safety systems, the Equinox brings an expansive safety package for your peace of mind.
Cargo Space and Everyday Practicality
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is built for life’s full schedule. With up to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo space, there’s room for groceries, sports gear, luggage, and everything in between.
Hidden storage under the rear cargo floor keeps valuables out of sight and protects items from shifting around during the drive. An available hands-free power liftgate makes loading up simple when your hands are full—a small but meaningful convenience for busy families.
The pass-through center console is another practical touch that’s standard on the Equinox but not available on several key competitors. It’s the kind of thoughtful feature that makes a real difference on longer trips.
Performance Built for Daily Driving
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine producing 175 hp and up to 203 lbs.-ft. of torque. The standard Drive Mode Selector lets you performance to the road ahead, while available all-wheel drive gives you additional traction on wet or slippery roads.
The ACTIV trim features a uniquely tuned suspension that gives it a slightly different character on the road, designed to balance comfort with a more capable feel. Whether you’re running errands around town or exploring back roads, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox handles it all confidently.
