Safety is a top priority on the 2026 Equinox. It comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist-a comprehensive safety suite that includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alerts, and lane-keeping assistance. You'll also get a Following Distance Indicator and standard stability and traction controls for added peace of mind.

Additional convenience safety features include Cross-Traffic Alert (which competitors offer only as an upgrade) and a standard Compact Spare Tire. These features combine to give you and your passengers confidence on every drive, whether commuting daily or heading out for weekend adventures.
