Two-Tone Roof
Alongside 2026 Chevrolet Equinox’s classic solid paint options, you can now choose an available two-tone roof that pairs the main body colour with a complementary roof for a futuristic look straight from the factory.
AutoSense Power Liftgate
If you need an extra hand to load up, the AutoSense Power Liftgate helps when your hands are full. When the system senses your key fob near the back of the vehicle, the liftgate automatically opens. Even better, it comes with a memory height function, so you can set exactly how high it opens.
