What Trims Does the 2026 Equinox Come In?
Three trims define the 2026 Equinox: LT, RS, and ACTIV. All share the same 1.5L turbo engine, so the decision comes down to styling, features, and drivetrain preference rather than power output.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | Drivetrain | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT | $29,995 | FWD (AWD +$1,800) | 8-in touchscreen, wireless CarPlay, heated seats, remote start, AEB standard |
| RS | $33,600 | FWD (AWD +$2,000) | 11.3-in display, sport styling, 18-in dark alloy wheels, dark chrome accents |
| ACTIV | ~$35,600 | AWD standard | 2-in suspension lift, all-terrain tires, 11.3-in display, trail AWD |
At Webb Chevy Oak Lawn, the RS AWD is the most-requested configuration for Burbank and Palos Heights buyers who want the sport look without the trail-access premium. The ACTIV moves well with families heading toward Palos Forest Preserve and the Cal-Sag Trail area.
How Fuel-Efficient Is the 2026 Equinox?
Every 2026 Equinox uses the same turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder producing 175 hp and 203 lb-ft. Fuel economy is determined by drivetrain choice alone — trim level has no effect on mpg.
| Drivetrain | City MPG | Highway MPG | Combined MPG |
|---|---|---|---|
| FWD (LT, RS) | 26 | 29 | 27 |
| AWD (any trim) | 25 | 29 | 26 |
For Oak Lawn and Burbank commuters on I-294 or the Tri-State Tollway, the FWD LT at 27 combined mpg is the lowest-cost-per-mile option. AWD adds roughly 1 mpg combined and around $40-60/year in extra fuel at 15,000 miles — worth it for anyone dealing with unplowed Cook County side streets in January and February.
2026 Equinox vs. 2026 Ford Escape: Which Wins for Oak Lawn Drivers?
| Spec | 2026 Equinox LT FWD | 2026 Ford Escape SE FWD |
|---|---|---|
| Base MSRP | $29,995 | ~$29,485 |
| Horsepower | 175 hp | 181 hp |
| Combined MPG | 27 | 28 |
| Cargo (2nd row up) | 29.9 cu ft | 29.2 cu ft |
| Towing | 1,500 lbs | 1,500 lbs (base) |
| AWD availability | All trims | Most trims |
The Escape starts about $500 less and edges the Equinox by 6 hp and 1 combined mpg. The Equinox counters with 0.7 more cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats. For south Chicago suburban buyers, the most practical difference is service infrastructure: GM has seven authorized service locations within 15 miles of Oak Lawn versus five Ford dealers in the same radius.

What Technology Comes Standard?
The LT delivers a strong standard feature list with no packages required: wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane-keep assist, rear parking sensors, and following distance indicator. The RS and ACTIV upgrade to the 11.3-in infotainment display. Cargo: 29.9 cu ft behind the second row, 63.9 cu ft with the rear seats flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 2026 Equinox come in AWD?
Yes. AWD is available as an option on LT (+$1,800) and RS (+$2,000) and is included as standard on the ACTIV. All three trims use the same 1.5L turbo engine regardless of drivetrain.
What is the towing capacity of the 2026 Equinox?
The 2026 Equinox is rated to tow up to 1,500 lbs when properly equipped — suitable for small utility trailers. For heavier towing, Webb Chevy Oak Lawn also carries the Traverse (up to 5,000 lbs) and Silverado 1500.
How does the RS trim differ from the LT?
The RS adds sport styling — dark chrome, 18-in machined-face alloys, a blacked-out appearance package — and upgrades to the 11.3-in infotainment display. The engine, drivetrain options, and safety features are identical to the LT.
Is the Equinox EV the same vehicle as the gas Equinox?
