What is the new ACTIV trim all about?
Chevy finally brought real outdoor capability to the Equinox. The ACTIV trim features an aggressive front fascia, a uniquely tuned suspension, and standard all-terrain tires. It also boasts premium Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces. It's the perfect setup for tackling unplowed driveways in Concord or heading up to the White Mountains for a weekend adventure.
Is it big enough for a family road trip?
Absolutely. The 2026 Equinox has been redesigned with a wider, more planted stance, creating a remarkably spacious interior. With the 60/40 split-bench seat folded down, you get up to 63.5 cubic feet of max cargo volume. Plus, there is hidden storage under the rear cargo floor to keep your gear organized and out of sight.
Did they update the technology inside?
The interior is a complete game-changer. Chevrolet eliminated the old mechanical shifter and moved it to the steering column, opening up massive storage space in the center console. The focal point is a standard 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen paired with an 11-inch digital driver display. It feels like a futuristic, tech-focused cockpit right out of the gate.
What is the "AutoSense" Liftgate?
It's an available hands-free feature that makes loading groceries or hockey gear effortless. Instead of awkwardly kicking under the rear bumper, the liftgate simply senses your key fob as you approach the rear of the vehicle and opens automatically for you.
