Yes-every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox trim comes with a Drive Mode Selector (or Driver Mode Control) that lets you tailor your ride to conditions. Choose Normal for everyday driving, Sport for a more responsive feel, Snow/Ice for winter traction, or AWD mode to optimize all-wheel drive performance. This thoughtful feature is included on the LT, RS, and ACTIV, so whether you're commuting through town or navigating slick roads, you've got the right mode ready. It's one of the ways the Equinox delivers versatility and confidence. Curious about how these modes feel? Schedule a test drive with Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444.
