The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox brings thoughtful updates to the lineup. All trim levels now come standard with a drive mode selector, letting you customize performance for different driving conditions.

The LT model's Convenience II package has been refined-roof rails are no longer standard but can be optioned as black roof rails with the Midnight Edition or when you add the optional sunroof.

The Activ and RS trims introduce a fresh Polar White Tricoat paint option, replacing the previous Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, giving you a striking new color choice. These refinements make the 2026 Equinox even more personalized to your style and needs.
