The Chevrolet Equinox is the brand’s best-selling SUV, and it’s easy to see why. This 5-passenger compact SUV is practical, roomy for its size, and easy to drive. Moreover, thanks to a complete makeover last year, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is now the most sophisticated and best-looking version to date.
Here are three of our favorite things about this Chevy SUV.
1. Excellent Tech
Step inside the Chevrolet Equinox, and you’ll immediately see it’s a showcase of technology. Standard on every model is an 11.3-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster. Together, the two sit beside each other nicely integrated into the dash. In addition to being easy to operate and boasting tech like wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the crisp screens lend an air of sophistication to every Equinox.
2. Heated Seats and Steering Wheel
Other compact SUVs might offer heated front seats and a heated steering wheel for an added cost, but the Equinox brings them standard. So even a base Equinox LT has these features that are so welcome on a cold winter morning. Seriously, if you’ve never experienced them – especially the warmth of a steering wheel on your hands – they are a real treat.
3. Bold Design
The new generation of Equinox has injected this popular model with muscular looks and standout design. Particularly, the RS brings a sportier aesthetic with features like black exterior cladding and available 20-inch wheels, while the Activ variant has an outdoorsy vibe with all-terrain tires and perhaps our favorite design element: an available two-tone white roof treatment.
