Meanwhile, standard safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking offer peace of mind, while Chevy-exclusive Teen Driver Technology makes the new Equinox a fantastic choice for first-time drivers and car buyers.

2026 Chevy Equinox Interior Features & Tech Compared
The 2026 Equinox SUV offers greater comfort and convenience than its Ford rival. It starts with the standard 11.3-inch touchscreen and 11-inch Driver Information Center, both dwarfing similar standard offerings from the Escape. Right off the factory line, the Equinox keeps you connected far more easily than the Escape.
As for other Equinox interior amenities, it offers a standard heated steering wheel -- only optional in the Escape – and available ventilated front seats, a feature sorely lacking from the Escape lineup. Clearly, Chevy thought far more about overall comfort through every season and climate than Ford.
