Safety is a top priority in the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox. It comes equipped with Chevy Safety Assist-a comprehensive safety suite that includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane-keep assist, and a Following Distance Indicator. Standard stability and traction controls round out the package.

The Equinox also stands out with standard features like Cross-Traffic Alert and a Compact Spare Tire, which are only available as upgrades on some competitors. These thoughtful additions help keep you and your passengers protected in everyday situations.
