2026 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2026 Equinox lineup is streamlined into three distinctive trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV, each offering its own personality. The LT trim is clean and contemporary, featuring standard LED lighting, 17-inch machined-face aluminum wheels, and the option of a dual-tone roof for added flair. The available Midnight Edition brings a bolder look with blacked-out elements—including roof rails, grille, badging, and 19-inch black wheels.

The RS trim dials up the sporty appeal with black exterior accents, exclusive RS badging, and your choice of 19-inch or available 20-inch Carbon Flash machined-face wheels. Inside, red interior accents provide a dynamic, performance-oriented vibe. For those who love adventure, the ACTIV trim embraces a rugged aesthetic with 17-inch Dark Android wheels, all-terrain tires, a black grille with body-color surround, and an available white two-tone roof—perfect for outdoor excursions in the Pacific Northwest.

Every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine that delivers 175 horsepower. Torque output varies depending on the drivetrain: FWD models offer 184 lb-ft paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while AWD variants step up to 203 lb-ft of torque and an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain provides smooth acceleration and reliable performance for everyday driving or weekend getaways outside of Vancouver.

Chevrolet tuned the 2026 Equinox to strike a balance between ride comfort and agility. Its fully independent suspension—with MacPherson struts up front and a four-link setup in the rear—delivers a composed, confident feel. The strengthened chassis improves handling and body control, while still offering a comfortable ride over Vancouver’s varied roads.

With a towing capacity of up to 1,500 lbs, the Equinox can confidently handle light trailers or gear for a weekend trip. Braking performance is enhanced with ventilated front discs and a firm, responsive pedal. Chevrolet also prioritized quietness inside the cabin, with improved noise insulation that keeps road and wind noise to a minimum, even at highway speeds.

Inside, the 2026 Equinox feels both high-tech and accommodating. An all-new layout features an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and a large 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Google built-in right to your fingertips. Material choices vary by trim—premium cloth on LT, with available Evotex or suede-like finishes on RS and ACTIV.

Seating for five offers generous headroom and legroom, while fold-flat rear seats unlock up to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo space. Thoughtful storage compartments and hidden cargo areas make it easy to carry gear, groceries, or sports equipment for active Washington lifestyles.

All trims of the 2026 Equinox come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of advanced driver assistance features that includes:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• IntelliBeam® auto high beams
• Following Distance Indicator

Additional available systems—like Adaptive Cruise Control, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and HD Surround Vision—further enhance confidence behind the wheel. Whether you're navigating downtown Vancouver or road-tripping through the Columbia River Gorge, the Equinox has your safety in mind.
