Yes. The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV is adventure-ready with all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, rugged suspension calibration, and a unique front fascia designed for outdoor capability. Roof rails and a hands-free liftgate make gear loading easy.

Inside, you'll find sueded microfiber and Evotex seating with "ACTIV" stitching, dual-zone climate control, and the same 11.3-inch Google-integrated touchscreen as other trims. The ACTIV blends adventurous styling with smart cabin amenities and robust traction for varied terrain.

If you love the outdoors and want a compact SUV built for both everyday driving and weekend exploration, the ACTIV delivers. Visit Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls, WI to take one for a test drive. Call (715) 833-0444 or browse inventory online.
