Chevy Equinox Trim Level FAQs

What is the difference between Chevy LT and RS trims?

The LT is Chevrolet’s foundational trim, offering excellent value and standard tech features. The RS (Rally Sport) is an appearance-focused upgrade that adds aggressive, street-inspired styling like blacked-out emblems, darker wheels, and unique interior stitching.

What makes the Chevy Equinox ACTIV different?

The ACTIV trim is uniquely engineered for outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike the street-focused LT or RS, the ACTIV trim features rugged all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension for rougher roads, and exclusive interior styling meant for off-road adventures.

Which Chevy Equinox trim has leather seats?

Depending on the generation, higher trims of the Equinox feature premium seating. Recent models feature advanced Evotex seating on the RS trims, and a combination of Evotex and sueded microfiber on the ACTIV trims for a premium, leather-like feel.

Do all Equinox trims have a touchscreen?

Yes, Chevrolet ensures that every Equinox trim, from the base LT to the top-tier ACTIV and RS, comes standard with a high-resolution infotainment touchscreen equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
