Preferring the 2026 Chevy Equinox

The lower starting MSRP of $28,800 for the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox rewards you with more high-tech features, such as Teen Driver, which switches on safety features and limits the maximum audio volume and speed when your youngest drivers take the wheel on their own. Buckle to Drive ensures seat belts are fastened before you can shift out of Park. And the Safety Alert Seat vibrates at the bottom to show where a hazard originates.
