Interior Technology That Makes Every Drive Easier

These upgrades are especially appreciated by drivers who spend significant time commuting. 

Performance Built for Real World Driving 

Every 2026 Chevrolet Equinox uses the same proven 1.5L turbo 4cylinder engine, tuned for comfort and efficiency rather than aggressive performance. Drivers can choose front wheel drive for maximum efficiency or all-wheel drive for added confidence on snow covered MidMichigan roads.
