​​The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV is Put To The Test​ 

If you’re looking for a great SUV that combines efficiency, technology, space, and overall drivability, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is the right vehicle for you. It offers all of this at an affordable price, and the 2026 Equinox has become a popular choice for many of us here in Southern Idaho.  

What makes the 2026 Equinox the right SUV for you? Let’s start with what you get on every model. You have a contemporary, modern, and inspired design that stands out among the rest. A large grille, flanked by LED lighting, a more upright roofline that invites you to load up the family, friends, and all their gear for a road trip across the mountains – or across town. You can load up your 2026 Equinox with wide-opening doors and a liftgate.  

Inside also features a modern design with plenty of technology and convenience right at your fingertips. A comprehensive and easy-to-read digital instrument cluster informs you of everything you need to stay on the road. Next to it is an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, the hub for all connectivity and information. Google Built-in enables you to interact with your 2026 Equinox using Google Assistant for vehicle commands and setting your destination for your next trip.  

The cabin has space for up to five people inside. It also offers a flexible cargo space with up to 63.5 cubic feet to load in your daily haul from the store. You are also protected by the great features that make up the Chevy Safety Assist suite of safety features.  

Every 2026 Equinox is powered by a 175-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. You also have the choice of front- or all-wheel drive for traction. 

While you have plenty of choices among the 2026 Equinox models, one fits our lifestyle year-round. The ACTIV model enables you to get through all sorts of conditions – from deep snow to wet roads to sunbaked days. 

The ACTIV trim adds many more options for adventure. The available two-tone white roof makes it stand out year-round. Along with all-terrain tires on 17-inch alloy wheels, a uniquely tuned suspension, and a two-tone EvoTex and suede interior, adventure is just one drive away.  

In a recent test drive of the 2026 Equinix ACTIV, Autoblog simply called it “marvelous.” They added that it was “attractive, spacious, comfortable, and tech-forward, the Equinox ACTIV is a crossover that will please most owners and their families. The interior is very user-friendly and capable of providing a high level of comfort regardless of how long the drive is.”
