The Chevrolet Equinox has been a popular choice for SUV shoppers in the Massillon, OH area, offering an appealing blend of style, versatility, and value. Now, the 2026 Chevy Equinox has arrived, bringing a number of updates compared with the 2025 model. No matter where you live, it's worth taking a closer look at what sets the new Chevy Equinox apart from its predecessor.
What's New for 2026?
After a significant redesign for the 2025 model year, the Equinox comes with few changes for 2026. Akron, OH buyers can no longer get roof rails in the Convenience II package for LT trims. Instead, black roof rails are available with the Midnight Edition package, or they can be bundled together with the optional sunroof on LT trims. All Equinox models now come with a drive mode selector, and Polar White Tricoat paint replaces Iridescent Pearl Tricoat on Activ and RS trims.
Performance
The 2026 Equinox comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. In front-wheel drive models, the turbo is teamed up with a continuously variable automatic transmission but if you go with all-wheel drive, you'll get an eight-speed automatic. The maximum towing capacity for the Equinox is 1500 pounds when it’s equipped with all-wheel drive while front-wheel drive models are rated to tow 800 pounds. Drivers in Louisville, OH will appreciate the Equinox's agile handling and smooth ride, even on less-than-perfect roads.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of the 2026 Equinox features a bold, aggressive front grille design, LED headlights and taillights, and attractive wheel designs. You’ll continue to have a range of paint colors that allow you to customize the Equinox to your style. Inside, the Equinox features a dashboard with a large infotainment screen, high-quality materials throughout the cabin, and seat designs that provide plenty of comfort. Customers in Canton, OH will enjoy the spacious and versatile interior, with plenty of room for passengers and cargo.
Technology
The 2026 Equinox comes with the latest in infotainment and connectivity technology. A large 11.3-inch touchscreen display is standard, with built-in Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Directly in front of the driver is a separate 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster that offers Kent, OH drivers reconfiguration options so they can customize it based on their preferences. Wireless charging and a premium audio system are available, as are a range of safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking. You'll appreciate the Equinox's advanced technology that keeps you connected and safe on the road.
Safety
Safety is a top priority in the 2026 Equinox, with an array of available safety features. Those include automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. The Equinox has earned high marks in crash testing, with a strong and resilient frame and advanced airbag systems.
