Buyer brief
Equinox at a glance
Model-year research organized around the questions shoppers compare most: price, powertrain, space, safety and ownership.
The 2026 Equinox publishes useful cargo-volume figures, but the factory material checked for SUVLook does not provide the complete floor and hatch measurements a rigid-box fit requires.
01Use the 29.8/63.5-cu-ft figures for broad luggage-capacity comparisons.
02Do not carry the older 39.3-inch cargo-depth measurement into the redesigned 2025–2026 body.
03For crates, mobility devices, appliances or drawer systems, measure floor depth and the hatch opening on the exact vehicle.
Model-year statusThe 2026 Equinox is the second model year of the current body introduced for 2025. SUVLook keeps earlier-generation physical cargo measurements separate from this profile.

Safety & driver assistance
Ratings and active-safety context
The current-generation Equinox includes a broad standard driver-assistance package. IIHS applies several crashworthiness ratings across the 2025–2027 body, so those applicable-generation results are more useful than ratings from the prior Equinox.

Buying context
What to compare before you choose a trim
01The same 175-hp engine is used across the main trim range, so trim choice is primarily about drivetrain, equipment and styling rather than a higher-output engine.
02AWD materially changes both transmission hardware and the published maximum tow rating.
03A sunroof reduces published headroom, which matters for tall-driver fit.
04Rigid cargo still needs an exact hatch-opening and floor-length check because Chevrolet does not publish every useful linear cargo measurement.
Before you measure or buy
Model-year and measurement caveat
The older 2018–2024 Equinox has a third-party 39.3-inch seats-up floor-depth measurement. SUVLook does not apply that dimension to the redesigned 2025–2026 Equinox.
Quick answers
2026 Chevrolet Equinox FAQs
How much cargo space does the 2026 Chevy Equinox have?
Chevrolet publishes 29.8 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 63.5 cubic feet with it folded.
Does SUVLook have a verified 2026 Equinox cargo-floor length?
Not yet. The factory material used for the guide does not publish a complete current-generation floor-length measurement in inches.
Can I use the 2018–2024 cargo depth for a 2026 Equinox?
No. The 2025 model introduced a new body, so SUVLook keeps the older-generation physical measurement separate.
