The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox comes in three trim levels: LT, RS, and ACTIV. All share a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with 175 hp and a Drive Mode Selector for Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, and AWD driving.

Choose **LT** for daily comfort with heated seats/wheel, 17-inch wheels, and an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in. Pick **RS** if you want sporty style-blacked-out accents, flat-bottom steering, 20-inch wheels available, and wireless charging. Select **ACTIV** for adventure-ready capability with all-terrain tires, roof rails, and rugged design.

Each trim includes Chevy Safety Assist (automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring). Ready to explore? Call us at (715) 833-0444 or browse our 2026 Equinox inventory online.
