The 2026 Equinox RS brings a sport-inspired edge and refined cabin sophistication.

**Sporty Style:** Blacked-out exterior accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and available black-wall 20-inch wheels give the RS an athletic stance that stands out from the crowd.

**Comfort & Convenience:** Dual-zone climate control keeps driver and passenger happy independently. The Convenience Package II adds a power-adjustable driver's seat for customized comfort. Wireless charging keeps your devices ready without cable clutter.

**Tech & Interior:** You get all the standard Equinox tech-11-inch digital gauge cluster, 11.3-inch Google-enabled infotainment, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto-refined with upscale interior trim options.

The RS is ideal if you want your Equinox to look and feel more refined while keeping that sporty edge. It balances everyday practicality with a touch of attitude.
