2026 Chevrolet
Equinox

While the fourth-generation Equinox was released for model year 2025, the 2026 edition rolled into the showroom with a continuation of breakthrough styling that borrows from its larger stablemates, the Tahoe and Traverse. It’s also easy to pick out styling cues from the Silverado pickup. At the same time, the Equinox offers ample seating for five along with generous cargo space. This is a crossover on the compact side that’s ready for everyday errands as well as weekend adventures.
