Trim Levels (Exterior)
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offers three thoughtfully designed trim levels, allowing drivers to select an SUV that perfectly matches their personality and daily needs. The lineup consists of the well-equipped LT, the sporty RS, and the adventure-inspired ACTIV, each bringing its own distinctive styling while maintaining the Equinox’s bold and modern appearance.

The LT presents a clean, sophisticated exterior with contemporary body lines, LED lighting, and confident proportions that create an upscale presence on every drive. Drivers looking for athletic styling will appreciate the RS, which features exclusive black exterior accents, distinctive badging, available 20-inch machined wheels, and an available contrasting black roof that gives the vehicle a striking profile.

For those who enjoy exploring beyond paved roads, the ACTIV trim introduces rugged design elements, all-terrain tires, unique front fascia styling, available white two-tone roof options, and functional roof rails that complement its adventurous character. Regardless of trim, the Equinox showcases Chevrolet’s modern design language with sculpted surfaces, a commanding stance, and refined exterior details that stand apart in the compact SUV segment.
Engine (Power)
Every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is powered by a responsive 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower. This efficient powertrain provides smooth acceleration while maintaining the fuel-conscious performance many SUV buyers appreciate. (Chevrolet)
Available All-Wheel Drive gives drivers added confidence when road conditions become less predictable, while the intelligent drivetrain delivers balanced performance whether commuting through Salinas or venturing farther across California.
The Equinox also offers up to 1,500 pounds of available towing capability when properly equipped, making it well-suited for hauling small trailers, recreational equipment, or weekend adventure gear. (Chevrolet)
