What Are the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox Trim Levels?

If you’re shopping for a compact SUV that feels modern, looks bold, and stays practical for everyday driving, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox keeps it simple with three well-equipped trims—each designed around a clear personality: comfort, sport, or adventure. 

Quick 2026 Equinox Trim Level List (Gas Model)

• Equinox LT (starting MSRP $28,800) 

• Equinox RS (starting MSRP $33,600) 

• Equinox ACTIV (starting MSRP $33,600) 

Note: MSRP is a starting point and can vary based on options/packages, taxes/fees, and availability.

 

2026 Chevrolet Equinox LT: The Smart Everyday Pick

The LT is built for drivers who want a comfortable daily SUV with the tech and safety features that matter most—without paying for extras you don’t need. Chevrolet highlights available features like a turbo 1.5L engine, heated front seats/steering wheel, and a large infotainment display depending on configuration. 

Choose LT if you want: value, comfort, and a well-rounded setup for commuting, family errands, and road trips.

 

2026 Chevrolet Equinox RS: The Sporty, Bold Style Upgrade

The RS leans into a more aggressive look with darker exterior accents and sport-inspired styling. Chevrolet calls out RS design cues like black mirrors/moldings/badging, larger wheel options, and a flat-bottom steering wheel (availability varies). 

Choose RS if you want: a more athletic appearance and a “blacked-out” vibe that stands out in the parking lot.

2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV: The Adventure-Inspired Trim

The ACTIV trim is designed for drivers who want rugged style and road-trip readiness, with features Chevrolet associates with adventure like all-terrain tires, 17-inch machined wheels, and available two-tone roof styling. 

Choose ACTIV if you want: outdoorsy styling and a tougher look for weekends, backroads, and getting out of town.
