Safety is built into the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox with Chevy Safety Assist-a comprehensive suite of standard features designed to protect you and your passengers.

The Equinox comes equipped with automatic emergency braking to help prevent or reduce collision impact, forward collision alert to warn of hazards ahead, and lane-keeping assistance to help keep you centered. Additional standard safety features include a Following Distance Indicator, standard StabiliTrak stability control, and traction control for confident handling in various conditions.

The Equinox also offers a standard compact spare tire and available cross-traffic alert, giving you extra confidence in everyday driving.
