A Bold New Stance: Trims for Every Driver

The 2026 Equinox stands out with a wider, more athletic profile that is over two inches broader than previous generations. This year, the lineup is streamlined into three distinct personalities, ensuring there is an Equinox for every type of DeKalb County driver:

• LT: The versatile foundation, offering a balanced mix of comfort and value with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel as standard.
• RS: The sporty choice, featuring blacked-out accents, unique 19-inch wheels, and a flat-bottom steering wheel for a more spirited feel.
• ACTIV: Brand new for this generation, the ACTIV trim is built for the adventurous. It features all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and a rugged front fascia—perfect for those unpaved backroads near Sannauk Forest Preserve.

Performance: Efficient Power for the Modern Commute

Under the hood, every 2026 Equinox is powered by a 1.5L Turbocharged engine delivering a responsive 175 horsepower. What makes the 2026 model truly shine is the choice in drivetrains:

• Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): Paired with a smooth Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for maximum efficiency during your daily commute to Aurora or Naperville.
• All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Paired with a crisp 8-speed automatic transmission, providing 203 lb-ft of torque and the confidence needed to navigate snowy Illinois winters.
• Towing: When properly equipped, the AWD models can tow up to 1,500 lbs, making it easy to haul recreational gear or a small utility trailer.

Inside the Tech-Forward Cabin

Step inside, and the 2026 Equinox feels light-years ahead of its predecessors. The dashboard is dominated by a standard 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen that is canted toward the driver for easy reach.

With Google built in, you have a world of convenience at your command. Use Google Assistant to set reminders or adjust the temperature, and rely on Google Maps for real-time traffic updates through the Sandwich-Plano corridor. For a clutter-free cabin, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard across the entire lineup.

Safety and Cargo: Built for Families

Safety isn’t an option; it’s a standard. Every 2026 Equinox comes equipped with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety features including Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist. New for 2026, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking and Side Bicyclist Alert provide even more peace of mind in busy school zones or downtown traffic.

When it comes to hauling gear, the Equinox is a utility master:

• Max Cargo Volume: Folding the 60/40 split-bench seats opens up 63.5 cubic feet of storage.
• Hidden Storage: A spacious under-floor compartment in the cargo area keeps valuables out of sight.
