It Has Arrived at Ken Barrett Chevrolet Cadillac!

The future of is here, and it’s making a grand entrance at Ken Barrett Chevrolet Cadillac in Batavia, NY. We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated 2026 Chevrolet Equinox, a vehicle that redefines style, technology, and versatility for families and adventurers alike.

Chevrolet has truly outdone itself with the 2026 Equinox. This isn’t just a refresh; it’s a bold leap forward, combining rugged sophistication with cutting-edge features designed to elevate your everyday drives and weekend getaways.

What Makes the 2026 Equinox Stand Out?

From the moment you lay eyes on it, the 2026 Equinox commands attention. Its redesigned exterior boasts a more aggressive stance, chiseled lines, and new features like an active grille shutter and a rear spoiler. You’ll also find eye-catching new color options, including the stunning Polar White Tricoat. Depending on the trim, you can expect stylish upgrades like blacked-out accents on the RS or all-terrain tires on the adventurous ACTIV trim.

Step inside, and you’ll discover a cabin crafted for comfort and connectivity. The spacious interior comfortably seats five, with ample legroom and headroom for all passengers. Need more cargo space? The 60/40 split-folding rear seats and hidden underfloor storage make it easy to adapt to any adventure.

But the real showstopper in the cabin is the technology. Every 2026 Equinox comes standard with a user-friendly 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, seamlessly integrated with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Autoâ„¢. With built-in Google features and a Wi-Fi® hotspot, you’ll stay connected and entertained no matter where the road takes you. Plus, a wireless charging pad keeps your devices powered up without the clutter of cords.

Performance That Powers Your Journey

Under the hood, the 2026 Equinox is powered by a capable 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine, delivering 175 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Whether you opt for the front-wheel drive (with a continuously variable transmission) or the all-wheel drive (with an 8-speed automatic transmission), you’ll experience a smooth and responsive ride.

Fuel efficiency remains impressive, with estimates around 24 mpg city and 29 mpg highway for the 1.5L engine with customers reporting higher on their similar 2025 models. Plus, with a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds, the Equinox is ready for your smaller trailers and recreational gear.

Safety and Confidence on Every Road

Your peace of mind is paramount, and the 2026 Equinox delivers with a comprehensive suite of safety features. Standard Chevy Safety Assist includes automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist, and auto high beams. Higher trims and available packages offer even more advanced features like blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera system, and traffic sign recognition.

Explore the Trims: LT, ACTIV, and RS

The 2026 Equinox offers three distinct trim levels to suit your lifestyle:

  • LT: The well-equipped base trim, offering a fantastic blend of features and value, including heated front seats and steering wheel.
  • ACTIV: Designed for the adventurous spirit, featuring all-terrain tires, a hands-free power liftgate, and unique exterior styling.
  • RS: For those who crave a sportier look and feel, the RS boasts blacked-out accents, larger wheels, and a flat-bottom steering wheel with sporty interior touches.
