The Chevy Equinox was fully redesigned for the 2025 model year. With so many huge recent changes, the 2026 Equinox is taking a little breather, and only making minor adjustments. But perhaps we should step back and go back to the beginning – what is the Chevy Equinox anyway, and is it the best small SUV for you?
The Chevy Equinox is a compact crossover SUV that seats up to five. It’s a practical family vehicle thanks to its affordable pricing, modern amenities, and all-around capability for your Winston-Salem life. It is powered by a 1.5-liter engine with 175 horsepower. While it won’t be winning any races, its available all-wheel drive means it can tackle all sorts of weather and terrain Lexington can throw at it. For 2026, all trims now come standard with a drive-mode selector to adapt driving dynamics to your needs. With AWD equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 pounds – enough for a small boat or trailer. Its muscle is scant compared to a truck, but if what you need is an efficient compact that gets up to 29 mpg highway, that also has AWD and modest towing ability, the Equinox might just be the ticket.
Where the Equinox really stands out in its class is with technology, coming standard with a sizeable 11.3-inch infotainment display, as well as an 11-inch Driver Information Center screen. The driver display can be customized with the information you want displayed the way you prefer. Stay safe on the roads of Burlington with a standard suite of advanced safety technology, including automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning.
