The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes in three trims-LT, RS, and ACTIV-each tuned to a different driver.

The **LT** is your foundation: heated seats and steering wheel, remote start, 17-inch wheels, an 11-inch digital gauge cluster, and 11.3-inch infotainment with Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Safety features include lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and more.

The **RS** adds sport style: blacked-out exterior accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel, wireless charging, and available 20-inch wheels. You also get dual-zone climate control and a power-adjustable driver's seat for a more refined, athletic feel.

The **ACTIV** is built for adventure: all-terrain tires, a unique front fascia, roof rails, hands-free liftgate, and sueded seating. Perfect if you love the outdoors and want rugged capability.

All trims share a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine (175 hp), a Drive Mode Selector (Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, AWD), and Chevy Safety Assist.
