Meet the New 2026 Chevrolet Equinox

June 5th, 2025 by

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is making its mark in Salt Lake City with bold design updates, intuitive technology, and the everyday versatility Utah drivers demand. Whether you’re navigating downtown or escaping to the Wasatch Mountains for the weekend, the all-new Equinox is equipped to handle it all—and it’s available now at Jerry Seiner Chevrolet Salt Lake.

Redesigned just last year and enhanced again for 2026, this compact SUV stands out in a competitive segment by delivering a smart balance of comfort, capability, and confidence behind the wheel.

Bold and Athletic Styling

Chevrolet gave the Equinox a strong, upright design that shares DNA with its larger SUV and truck siblings like the Tahoe and Silverado. The result? A more muscular stance, confident lines, and a rugged presence that fits in on both city streets and scenic byways.

For 2026, a new Polar White Tricoat paint color replaces Iridescent Pearl on Activ and RS trims, giving drivers another sharp finish option. Whether you choose the practical LS, well-equipped LT, sporty RS, or adventurous Activ trim, the Equinox makes a bold first impression.

Designed for Daily Life

Inside, the 2026 Equinox keeps things simple, comfortable, and spacious. With generous room for passengers in both rows and a large cargo area, this compact SUV handles groceries, gear, and getaways with ease. The fold-flat rear seats add convenience for larger items, while thoughtful storage solutions help keep things organized on the go.

The 2026 model also introduces a standard Drive Mode Selector across all trims, letting you fine-tune your ride for different driving conditions—ideal for changing Utah weather and weekend mountain drives.

Advanced Tech and Safety

The 2026 Equinox comes with more standard tech than ever, including:

  • A digital instrument cluster
  • A central touchscreen infotainment system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • Multiple USB-C charging ports

Higher trims unlock additional features like built-in navigation and a premium sound system, but even base models deliver a connected, modern driving experience.

When it comes to safety, Chevy has you covered. The 2026 Equinox includes a robust set of standard driver-assistance features:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Rear Seat Reminder
  • Rear Vision Camera
  • These technologies help provide peace of mind every time you hit the road.

2026 Updates: What’s New?

While 2025 brought a full redesign, 2026 focuses on refining the formula. New for this year:

  • Drive Mode Selector is now standard across all trims.

  • Roof rail packaging has changed: Black roof rails are now included with the Midnight Edition or available alongside the optional sunroof on LT models.

  • Updated color palette, with Polar White Tricoat replacing the previous premium white finish on select trims.

These updates are subtle but impactful, keeping the Equinox competitive in an evolving SUV landscape.
