The Chevrolet Equinox has long been a favorite on the roads of West Springfield and beyond, known for its perfect blend of comfort, efficiency, and versatility. Now, get ready for a whole new chapter. Following its stunning, ground-up redesign for the 2025 model year, the upcoming 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is poised to continue its reign as the go-to compact SUV for New England families. Here at Central Chevrolet, we’re giving you a first look at what makes this new generation of Equinox so special.
A Bolder, More Confident Stance
Gone are the softer curves of previous generations. The new Equinox borrows design cues from its larger, more rugged siblings like the Traverse and Silverado. The result is a bolder, more truck-like exterior that commands attention.
- Prominent Grille: A strong, upright front fascia and distinctive grille give the Equinox a more aggressive and confident look.
- Distinct Trims: For the first time, the Equinox features unique front-end designs for different trims. The street-styled RS trim offers a sportier, more modern feel, while the new ACTIV trim boasts an off-road-inspired look with all-terrain tires and a unique front fascia designed for improved approach angles.
This new design isn’t just for show; it reflects the enhanced capability and adventurous spirit of the modern SUV driver.
A Tech-Forward Cabin Built for Today
Step inside the new Equinox, and you’ll find an interior that’s been completely transformed. The centerpiece is a stunning new 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, angled toward the driver for easy access. This system is a massive upgrade, offering crisp graphics and intuitive controls.
Even better, it features Google built-in compatibility. This means you get Google Maps, Google Assistant, and access to apps on the Google Play store right from your dashboard, without even needing to plug in your phone. Paired with an 11-inch diagonal driver information screen, the new Equinox cockpit feels like it’s from the future.
Power and Capability for New England Roads
Under the hood, the new-generation Equinox is powered by a capable 1.5L Turbo engine that delivers a responsive and efficient driving experience. While front-wheel drive is standard, we know how important traction is for navigating those tricky Western Mass winters. That’s why the available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is a must-have for local drivers, providing extra grip and confidence when the snow starts to fly.
Whether you’re commuting down I-91 or heading up to the Berkshires for a weekend getaway, the Equinox has the power and stability you need.
Safety Remains Standard
Chevrolet continues to prioritize safety, and the new Equinox is no exception. Every model comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance features, including:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams
These features act as a second set of eyes on the road, providing peace of mind for you and your passengers.
