The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes in three trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV. Each delivers the same turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and standard safety tech, but with different style and capability focuses.

**LT** is your comfort foundation: heated seats and steering wheel, 17-inch wheels, Google built-in infotainment, and Chevy Safety Assist.

**RS** adds sporty flair: blacked-out exterior, flat-bottom steering wheel, wireless charging, and available 20-inch wheels-perfect if you want a refined, athletic cabin.

**ACTIV** is adventure-ready: all-terrain tires, rugged styling, roof rails, and hands-free liftgate-ideal for outdoor lifestyles.

All trims include a Drive Mode Selector to switch between Normal, Sport, Snow, and AWD conditions. Browse our 2026 Equinox inventory online or call (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive at Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls.
