2026 Chevy Equinox: Which Trim Level is right for you?
2026 Chevy Equinox: Which Trim is Right for You?
We know at least three reasons you'll love the new Chevy Equinox. The trim options for the 2026 Equinox offer three distinct styles for three distinct drivers. You've got the buttoned-up entry-level model loaded with essential, must-have features. There's the sporty version that doubles up your style points on the road in Livingston. Then, there's the ever-capable trim that can rock and roll with the best of them. The bad news is that you can only choose one-the good news is that they're all here at Schumacher Chevrolet of Livingston.
What's Standard Across All Trims
Before we get into what makes them so different, we'll tell you what they all have in common. There's the dual 11-inch screens up front (an 11.3-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch diagonal information center, to be exact) that provide crystal clear graphics and vehicle communication. Also standard throughout the trim lineup are Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ with an available in-cabin Wi-Fi connection. Either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) is available for each trim-and we think that AWD version will be just right for the cold fall and winter months in Hanover, NJ, and throughout the East Coast.

Chevy Equinox LT
The entry-level Chevy Equinox brings a world of comfort and entertainment with a fuel economy that will feel like a bonus in your wallet. Form-fitting cloth upholstery and soft-touch surfaces highlight the cabin on this entry-level model. However, the prize is the 1.5-liter turbo engine with an EPA-estimated 26/28 MPG city/highway. Less gas fill-ups in Summit, NJ, means more cash filling your pockets.

- 11-inch diagonal driver information center
