New 2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV

2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV AWD features a turbocharged 1.5 L four-cylinder engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, seats five and achieves an estimated 24 mpg city / 29 mpg highway. Standout features include the Sterling exterior, Maple Sugar sueded-microfiber upholstery, 11.3-inch infotainment display and built-in navigation. Is the Equinox right for you? If you live in Texas and drive through varied weather and terrains, the standard AWD on the ACTIV trim gives added traction. If you carry a small family or haul outdoor gear, the five-passenger cabin with flexible cargo space supports that. If you appreciate premium touches like the Maple Sugar interior, tech upgrades and modern SUV styling without stepping up to a larger, more expensive vehicle, this model fits. Under the hood you'll find a 1.5 L turbocharged inline-4 producing 175 hp and up to 203 lb-ft of torque in the AWD configuration, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimated fuel economy is about 24 mpg city and 29 mpg highway for AWD models. Safety ratings for this compact SUV show the overall model maintains a strong safety profile. Standard safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and the Chevrolet Safety Assist suite. Inside the cabin you'll find premium comfort and convenience: an 11.3-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display with navigation, premium audio system, AM/FM with SiriusXM (360L trial), dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless open & start, heated front seats, hands-free power liftgate (on ACTIV/RS), and stylish faux-suede Maple Sugar interior trim. The cabin seats five. Compared with key competitors like the 2026 Toyota RAV4 and 2026 Honda CR-V, the Equinox ACTIV AWD gives you standard all-wheel drive and a higher-tech infotainment interface as standard. While its horsepower figure (175 hp) is modest compared to some rivals hybrid options, the value proposition feature-rich SUV with modern cabin and tech is strong. Chevrolets warranty remains 3 years/36,000 miles basic and 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain.
