The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox RS brings a sport-inspired edge and elevated refinement for drivers seeking style and connectivity.

**Sporty Style:** Blacked-out exterior accents, flat-bottom steering wheel, and available black-wall 20-inch wheels give it an athletic look.

**Convenience:** Wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control (vs. single-zone on LT), and a power-adjustable driver's seat via Convenience Package II.

**Tech:** Same core tech as LT-the 11.3-inch Google-built infotainment screen and 11-inch digital gauge cluster.

**Interior:** Refined cabin experience with upscale trim options and elevated connectivity features.

The RS works best if you want a more refined, athletic cabin without sacrificing practicality. Visit Markquart Motors or call (715) 833-0444 to see the RS in person and test drive it.
