Chevrolet Equinox
Freshly redesigned last year, the Chevrolet Equinox carries on into 2026 without any notable changes. As has been the case for several years now, a single 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is offered, producing a respectable 175 hp and either 184 or 203 ft-lb of torque depending on the drivetrain (front-wheel or all-wheel drive). A word to the wise: despite sharing the same name, the electric Equinox EV has nothing in common with the gasoline model.
