2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2026 Equinox enters the market with a complete redesign, giving the SUV a sharper look and improved cabin technology. The body now features stronger lines and a more upright stance, adding presence without losing its compact convenience.

Inside, Chevrolet replaced the previous dashboard with a more driver-focused layout centered around two large digital displays. All trims now include an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In.

Key updates include:

Under the hood, every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox features a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel-drive models use a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while all-wheel-drive trims pair with an 8-speed automatic for smoother performance and better traction.

The Equinox maintains its reputation for balance, delivering a composed, quiet ride that feels confident on city streets and open highways. The suspension tuning has been refined for stability without sacrificing comfort.
