Chevy Equinox LT

The Chevy Equinox LT lays a solid groundwork for the SUV. It has many appealing features and engineering, such as cloth upholstery and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine standard across the lineup. You know you're getting appealing power from the turbocharged engine, but inside, the experience is elevated by how connected the model is from the jump and how well it addresses passenger comfort.

Here are a few of the standard LT highlights:

  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen
  • 11-inch driver information center
  • 6-speaker audio system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Autoâ„¢
  • Single-zone climate control

Chevy Equinox ACTIV

The ACTIV model is mostly elevated by exterior appointments like all-terrain tires and 17-inch wheels. However, it also addresses passenger comfort while adventuring in several ways. Namely, the model comes with Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces.

Here are the other upgrades available for the ACTIV trim:

  • Wireless phone charging
  • Two-zone climate control

Chevy Equinox RS

The RS model adds a little more in terms of styling. Similar to the ACTIV, many of the appointments added to the RS are exterior features, such as Black mirrors, 19- or 20-inch wheels, and an available two-tone Black roof.

But the interior becomes a little more appealing at this tier, thanks to:

  • Flat-bottom steering wheel
  • Black Evotex seating w/ Red stitching
  • 8-way power driver's seat
  • Power driver's seat lumbar control

Chevy Equinox Interior Color Options

The LT model comes standard with Black, but Artemis Gray can be added with Evotex upholstery.

If you choose the terrain-managing ACTIV model, Maple Sugar becomes the sole color choice, perfect for concealing the dirt and sand you'll track in from the trail.

If you choose the RS model, you're greeted with a sporty feel that matches the vibe of this trim well. The RS is all about aesthetic and function, featuring a sleek Black cabin with contrasting Red stitching and available ventilated front seats.

Chevy Equinox Interior Upholstery Options

There are three types of upholstery available for the new Chevrolet Equinox interior. The lineup starts with a cloth option that can be easily cleaned with an extractor tool and upholstery cleanser. However, if your routine includes outdoor camping trips, you might have an easier time tackling stains with the durable Evotex upholstery available on the standard LT model.

The ACTIV trim is unique as the only trim to offer Evotex with suede microfiber upholstery, which can feel like a nice reprieve after a day of hitting the local trails or cross-state driving.

Finally, the RS trim features Evotex once again, but this time in an exclusive Black color with Red stitching, optional ventilation, and other seat upgrades.

Chevy Equinox Interior Packages

There is no shortage of options for the 2026 Chevy Equinox interior, whether through packages or individual add-ons. Some of the most notable packages that can enhance the interior of this SUV include:

  • Interior Protection Package: Adds a premium all-weather floor mat, a second-row all-weather mat, and a cargo mat
  • Floor Liner Package: Adds all-weather floor liners, a second-row all-weather mat, and a cargo mat
  • Convenience Package II: Elevates the interior with more driver's seat adjustability and lumbar support, a cabin humidity sensor, wireless phone charging, and two-zone climate control – plus many more features

Other packages are available, but they focus on styling for the exterior (like the Midnight Edition Package) or make it easier to tow (such as the Trailering Package).

If a whole package seems like overkill, that's alright, too. We can help you get just the add-ons you're looking for without extras. Talk with our Goodwin Chevrolet Oxford team to learn more about our parts catalog.

2026 vs. 2025 Chevy Equinox Interior

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox entered the model's fourth generation and got a stylish update to commemorate the occasion. With a newly designed cockpit, it also received a new, larger touchscreen. All of these changes are carried over to the 2026 edition, which sees just a few minimal tweaks.

In total, the deviations for the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox for sale focus mostly on a feature shuffle, with a few options becoming restricted within certain packages. Largely, it's the same model as the outgoing year, but now every model comes standard with a Drive Mode Selector.
