The LT is a great pick for drivers who want a well-rounded daily driver without paying extra for styling upgrades they don’t need. Step up to the RS and you get a sportier feel with its RS-specific grille and front fascia, debossed headrests, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. If weekends mean dirt roads and lake access, the ACTIV is worth a serious look, with all-terrain tires, a tuned suspension, and a rugged front fascia that matches the personality of the people who drive it. Use our online value-your-trade tool to get a sense of what your current vehicle is worth before you come in.
Under the hood, every Chevrolet Equinox runs a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower. Front-wheel-drive models use a continuously variable transmission, while AWD configurations step up to an 8-speed automatic for a more responsive feel on Indiana’s varied road conditions. When properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 pounds, solid enough for a small trailer or a couple of kayaks.
A Drive Mode Selector also comes standard on every trim. Snow mode helps distribute power more predictably in cold weather, and AWD-equipped ACTIV models add an Off-Road mode for drivers who venture past paved roads. Schedule a test drive to feel the difference for yourself.
Inside, you’ll find a standard 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen paired with an 11-inch Driver Information Center. That’s a large, easy-to-read setup that keeps navigation, music, and key vehicle data within reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard too, so your phone connects the moment you start the car. Available built-in Google integration adds voice-activated search and app access, which is useful when you’d rather keep your hands on the wheel.
Higher trim levels add a wireless charging pad, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and multiple USB-C ports for passengers who want to stay charged on longer drives. The layout is intuitive and the controls don’t take long to learn. Fill out a quick online finance application and then come in to see it all in person.
Chevy Safety Assist comes standard across the Chevrolet Equinox lineup and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. The standard Teen Driver feature lets parents set vehicle limits and review driving summaries from the infotainment screen. Available upgrades like Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and HD Surround Vision add more layers of confidence for those who want a fuller safety package.
It’s worth noting that the core safety suite isn’t reserved for pricier trims. Every Equinox gets it, from the base LT up, so you don’t have to spend more to drive with the features that matter most. Come see what the full safety setup looks and feels like on a test drive.

AWD is available on all three Equinox trims, including the LT, RS, and ACTIV. It’s not standard, so you’ll want to confirm AWD when configuring your vehicle. If Indiana winters are a concern, it’s worth the upgrade for the added traction and confidence on slick roads.
Every Equinox runs the same 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower. FWD models pair with a continuously variable transmission, while AWD-equipped models use an 8-speed automatic. There’s one powertrain across the lineup, so your trim choice comes down to features and style rather than engine output.
With the rear seats in their upright position, the Equinox offers solid everyday cargo capacity behind the second row. Fold those seats flat and the total area expands to 63.5 cubic feet, which handles luggage, gear, and whatever else a busy week demands.
Yes. The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen is standard on every trim, along with the 11-inch Driver Information Center. You don’t have to step up to the RS or ACTIV to get the bigger display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board as well.
Both trims share the same starting price, but they’re built for different drivers. The RS takes a sport-forward approach with a blacked-out grille, flat-bottom steering wheel, debossed headrests, and an available two-tone black roof. The ACTIV is designed for outdoor-oriented drivers, with all-terrain tires, a tuned suspension, rugged front fascia styling, and an Off-Road drive mode on AWD models. Same platform, two different personalities.
When properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 pounds. That’s enough for a small utility trailer, a pair of kayaks, or a lightweight camper. It’s not a heavy-duty towing vehicle, but it handles light hauling without issue.
Every Equinox includes the full Chevy Safety Assist suite at no extra cost. That means Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams are all standard from the base LT up. Available upgrades like Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and HD Surround Vision can build on that foundation further.
