The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes in three trims-LT, RS, and ACTIV-each tailored to different driving styles.

**LT** is the well-rounded foundation trim, featuring heated front seats and steering wheel, remote start, and a tech package with an 11-inch digital cluster and 11.3-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in. It's ideal for everyday comfort and connectivity.

**RS** adds sporty flair with blacked-out exterior accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel, wireless charging, and dual-zone climate control. Perfect if you want athletic style and refined cabin features.

**ACTIV** is adventure-ready, equipped with all-terrain tires, roof rails, a hands-free liftgate, and rugged seating with "ACTIV" stitching. Great for outdoor enthusiasts who want off-road capability.

All trims share the same turbocharged 1.5L engine (175 hp), Drive Mode Selector for Normal/Sport/Snow/AWD modes, and Chevy Safety Assist. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 or visit us in Chippewa Falls to test drive each trim and find your perfect fit.
