The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox brings a major technology upgrade to Chevrolet’s compact SUV lineup, combining large digital displays, smartphone connectivity, Google built-in functionality and an extensive suite of standard driver-assistance features.
At Weber Chevrolet in Creve Coeur, St. Louis-area SUV shoppers can compare Equinox technology across LT, ACTIV and RS trims before deciding which configuration fits their driving needs.
The current Equinox is substantially more advanced than the previous generation. Older Equinox research pages that describe a 7-inch touchscreen or small 3.5-inch Driver Information Center no longer represent the current SUV.

Chevrolet lists more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features on the 2026 Equinox.
That makes driver-assistance technology a major part of the current Equinox value proposition.
Chevy Safety Assist is Chevrolet’s package of six core advanced driver-assistance technologies.
On the 2026 Equinox, it includes:
Automatic Emergency Braking can help reduce the severity of certain front-end collisions with detected vehicles.
It can automatically apply hard emergency braking in certain situations if the system detects a potential collision and the driver has not already responded sufficiently.
Forward Collision Alert can warn the driver when the system detects a potential front-end collision with a vehicle ahead.
Following Distance Indicator can help the driver monitor estimated following time behind a detected vehicle.
Front Pedestrian Braking is designed to help detect pedestrians in front of the vehicle and can provide alerts and automatic emergency braking in certain situations.
Lane Keep Assist can provide gentle steering assistance when the system detects an unintentional lane departure.
Lane Departure Warning can alert the driver when the vehicle begins leaving a detected lane without signaling.
IntelliBeam can automatically turn high beams on and off based on detected traffic and lighting conditions.
Adaptive Cruise Control is standard on the current Equinox.
The system can automatically adjust vehicle speed to maintain a driver-selected following gap behind a detected vehicle.
Maintains a selected speed until the driver brakes or changes the setting.
Can automatically adjust speed to help maintain a selected following gap when a slower detected vehicle is ahead.
It can be especially convenient for highway driving on routes such as:
The driver must still remain attentive and responsible for the vehicle.
The current Equinox includes Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert.
The system can provide mirror alerts when another detected vehicle is:
Yes.
Chevrolet calls the feature Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert.
Side Bicyclist Alert can warn the driver about detected bicyclists approaching alongside the vehicle.
This can be especially useful when:
Rear Cross Traffic Braking can help when backing out of a parking space.
If the system detects certain approaching cross traffic, it can provide alerts and automatic braking in some situations.
Rear Park Assist can alert the driver to certain detected objects behind the vehicle while parking at low speeds.
The standard HD Rear Vision Camera provides a high-resolution view behind the vehicle when reversing.
Reverse Automatic Braking can alert the driver and may automatically apply hard emergency braking when the system detects certain vehicles or objects directly behind the Equinox while reversing.
Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to help avoid or reduce the severity of certain collisions with detected crossing traffic at intersections.
Available HD Surround Vision can provide selectable digital camera views around the Equinox.
It can help with:
Available HD Surround Vision serves the function shoppers commonly refer to as a 360-degree or surround-view camera system.
The system can display different camera angles and a guideline showing the vehicle’s projected path.
An available Rear Camera Mirror can provide a wider, less-obstructed camera view behind the vehicle.
These serve different purposes.
Displays the rear view while reversing.
Can display a rear-facing camera image in place of the traditional mirror view while driving.
Available Rear Pedestrian Alert can help notify the driver of certain pedestrians detected behind the vehicle while reversing.
Available Traffic Sign Recognition can help identify certain road signs and display information to the driver.
Rear Seat Reminder can remind drivers to check the rear seating area after certain rear-door activity is detected.
The Equinox includes Chevrolet’s Teen Driver technology.
The system is designed to help parents support newer drivers through customizable settings and driving information.
Depending on configuration, Teen Driver can help parents:
The combination of Teen Driver, automatic emergency braking, lane assistance and multiple standard alert systems can make Equinox worth considering for families with newer drivers.
No technology substitutes for driver training and responsible driving.
LT provides a surprisingly strong standard technology package for the base current trim.
Key features can include:
Yes.
Because much of the core infotainment and driver-assistance technology is standard across the current lineup, LT does not require moving to the highest trim just to receive large-screen technology.
ACTIV combines the same modern digital foundation with its rugged-oriented design and equipment.
That makes ACTIV a good fit for drivers who want:
RS combines the Equinox technology package with a sportier visual treatment.
It can also offer additional convenience and premium equipment depending on the selected package.
Core screen and connectivity technology is already strong on LT.
RS should be chosen primarily because you want its styling and available premium features—not simply because you need basic smartphone connectivity.
Both provide similar core digital technology.
ACTIV distinguishes itself more through:
Google built-in compatibility can provide integrated Google Maps functionality on qualifying services and configurations.
Google built-in and compatible smartphone systems provide voice-command capability for certain functions.
Yes. Bluetooth connectivity supports compatible phone and audio functionality.
Current Equinox configurations include USB connectivity and charging options, although exact port count and location should be verified by trim.
Wi-Fi hotspot capability may be available with the appropriate connected service plan.
Certain connected vehicle systems may support software updates, depending on the system, vehicle and active service requirements.
Useful daily-driving technology includes:
Families may particularly value:
City drivers may benefit from:
Highway drivers may appreciate:
Parking-related systems can include:
Safety should never be reduced to one feature or one rating.
The current Equinox provides a broad combination of:
No.
Chevrolet specifically states that safety and driver-assistance features are not substitutes for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely.
Drivers must remain attentive to:
Camera and sensor performance can be affected by:
Keep camera and sensor areas clean when possible.
The difference is substantial.
A shopper researching today’s Equinox should not land on a page telling them the vehicle has a 7-inch display when Chevrolet now gives the current model an 11.3-inch touchscreen.
That stale information can hurt both user trust and organic performance.
Trax provides strong standard technology for a lower-priced compact SUV, but Equinox adds:
Trailblazer is smaller, while Equinox provides a newer and more expansive digital cabin.
Traverse provides additional space and three-row capability, while Equinox remains easier to maneuver and park.

Both vehicles feature modern Chevrolet technology, but Equinox EV adds EV-specific information for:

Always verify the driver-assistance equipment on the exact vehicle you are considering.
The core technology package is strong across LT, ACTIV and RS.
