Don Johnson Auto Group – Is the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox the right size for family gear around Amery, WI?
Family weekends stack up fast—sports bags, a stroller, groceries for the week, and maybe a cooler for a quick picnic near the lake. The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is built to handle it, thanks to a flexible cabin and thoughtful details that simplify loading and organizing. With up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume and a 60/40 split-bench, you can split space between passengers and gear without compromise. Hidden underfloor storage is ideal for items you prefer out of sight, and roof rails are ready when your plans include bikes or extra bags.
Technology also plays a role in everyday ease. The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate opens when your hands are full, while the large 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center keep navigation and music simple during those busy Saturday routes. Chevy Safety Assist adds everyday confidence with standard features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, and IntelliBeam®—great for early morning drop-offs or evening returns.
- Pack smart with flexibility: Fold one side of the 60/40 split to carry longer items while keeping a full child seat or two passengers comfortable in back.
- Use hidden storage wisely: Stash smaller valuables or extra essentials under the cargo floor to keep the main load area uncluttered.
- Lean on liftgate convenience: If equipped, the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate can save time when juggling groceries and gear.
- Add roof solutions: With roof rails, you can attach carriers for bikes or oversized bags without giving up rear-seat space.
- Plan for towing: When properly equipped, up to 1,500 lbs of towing capacity helps with small trailers or a weekend utility haul.
Taken together, these features make the Equinox feel a size larger when it counts. The result is a family-friendly, errand-proof SUV that adapts throughout the day without feeling bulky around town.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the 2026 Equinox carry a stroller and sports gear at the same time?
Yes. With the rear seats up, the cargo area offers generous depth for a full-size stroller and duffel bags. Fold a section of the 60/40 split for extra length if you’re packing a foldable wagon or longer equipment.
How does the available hands-free liftgate help on busy weekends?
The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate opens automatically as you approach, so you can load groceries or a folded stroller without putting items down first—especially convenient in crowded parking lots around youth sports fields.
