2026 Chevrolet Equinox: Frequently Asked Questions

As buyers explore the latest generation of Chevy SUVs, our team receives plenty of great questions. We have compiled these answers to help you understand the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox inside and out.

Question Answer
Is the new Equinox fully redesigned? Yes. It features a completely new, bolder exterior styling, an upgraded technology suite inside the cabin, and the introduction of the adventure-focused ACTIV trim.
How much can it safely tow? When properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs. This is perfect for a light utility trailer or a small personal watercraft, which you can verify through the official Chevrolet towing guide.
What is the difference between the RS and the ACTIV? The RS focuses on sporty, street-inspired style with blacked-out accents and large wheels. The ACTIV is built for light off-roading, featuring all-terrain tires, a tuned suspension, and a unique front grille.
Does it have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto? Absolutely. The massive 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment screen seamlessly connects to your smartphone for navigation and music.
What is the cargo capacity? With the rear seats folded down, you unlock a highly spacious 63.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume.
Do I need premium gas for the Turbo engine? No. The 1.5L Turbo engine is designed to run efficiently on standard regular unleaded gasoline, saving you money at the pump.
Are heated seats standard? Yes. Even on the foundational LT trim, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard to keep you warm during cold mornings.
What is the ground clearance? Depending on the trim, the ground clearance ranges from 8.05 inches up to 8.2 inches, giving you plenty of height to clear snow and road debris.
Does the transmission change if I buy AWD? Yes. Front-wheel-drive models feature a smooth Continuously Variable Transmission, while all-wheel-drive models upgrade to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
What drive modes are available? AWD models feature selectable drive modes. You can toggle between Normal and Snow modes, and the RS and ACTIV trims add an Off-Road mode.
