2026 Chevrolet Equinox For Sale

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is the right-sized compact SUV for most South Jersey drivers: easy on a Route 38 commute, roomy enough for a Cherry Hill weekend, and priced to compete with anything in the segment from a starting MSRP of $28,800. Lucas Chevrolet stocks the full 2026 lineup in front- and all-wheel drive, and this page covers what you get, what each trim costs, and how to shop it.

Now in its second year on the platform that fully redesigned the Equinox for 2025, the 2026 model carries a bolder, more upright look, a dual-screen cabin, and a clean three-trim lineup of LT, RS, and ACTIV. The one functional change for 2026 is that a Driver Mode selector is now standard on every trim, so every Equinox can tune its throttle and traction to the conditions.

One Engine, Two Drivetrains

Every 2026 Equinox runs a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder rated at 175 horsepower. Front-wheel drive paired with a continuously variable automatic (CVT) is standard and makes 184 lb-ft of torque, returning an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city / 29 MPG highway and 27 MPG combined. All-wheel drive is available on all three trims; it swaps in an eight-speed automatic, raises torque to 203 lb-ft, and is EPA-rated at 25 MPG city / 29 MPG highway and 26 MPG combined, useful traction for a wet I-295 morning or a January cold snap. Properly equipped with all-wheel drive, the Equinox is rated to tow up to 1,500 lbs. There is no hybrid or performance version of the gas Equinox; the all-electric Equinox EV is a separate model with its own range and pricing.

Trims and Starting Prices

Three trims, each with a clear personality, and all three offer the same powertrain with front- or all-wheel drive. The figures below are starting MSRP excluding the destination freight charge; all-wheel drive adds about $2,000 to any trim. Dealer sets the final price, so check live Equinox inventory for what is on the lot today.

• LT, from $28,800 MSRP. The value pick and the one Chevrolet expects most buyers to choose. It is well equipped, not stripped down: 17-inch wheels, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, the 11.3-inch Google built-in touchscreen, an 11-inch digital cluster, and the full Chevy Safety Assist suite are standard. Front-wheel drive standard, all-wheel drive available.
• RS, from $33,600 MSRP. The street-styled trim. Adds a blacked-out grille, larger alloy wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and Evotex synthetic-leather seating for a sportier look. Front-wheel drive standard, all-wheel drive available.
• ACTIV, from $33,600 MSRP. The adventure-look trim. Gets all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and rugged front styling, with Evotex-and-sueded-microfiber seats. It shares the standard powertrain, so the difference from the rest of the lineup is appearance and tires rather than dedicated off-road hardware. Front-wheel drive standard, all-wheel drive available.

RS and ACTIV can add a Convenience package for ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a power passenger seat, and a panoramic sunroof is available across the lineup. Ready to run numbers? Get pre-approved or value your trade before you visit.

Technology and Connectivity

Every Equinox comes with an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in (Maps, Assistant, and the Play store live right in the dash) plus an 11-inch digital driver display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and multiple USB-C ports are standard across the board. Available wireless charging, a hands-free power liftgate, dual-zone climate, and a panoramic sunroof round out the comfort options for Marlton families who live in their SUV.

Interior, Cargo, and Passenger Space

The Equinox seats five and offers 29.8 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats, expanding to 63.5 cubic feet with the 60/40 seats folded, enough for a Costco run, a stroller and a week of groceries, or gear for a shore weekend. It rides on a 107.5-inch wheelbase and measures 183.2 inches long, compact enough for tight parking yet tall and square enough to feel like a proper SUV. Up front there is roughly 40.9 inches of legroom and 40 inches of headroom, and rear passengers get their own vents.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every trim: automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. RS and ACTIV add blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking as standard, and the LT can add them through the available Safety and Technology Package. Other available aids include a surround-view camera, adaptive cruise control, and rear pedestrian detection.
