Baker Chevrolet South Haven - Family-Friendly Tech and Cargo Tips for the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox Around Holland, MI
If you are researching a compact SUV that keeps daily life running smoothly, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is an easy favorite. It blends clever cabin technology with genuinely helpful cargo solutions, creating a calm, connected space Monday through Sunday. The core of that seamless feel is the standard 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen paired with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, which places maps, media, and vehicle insights where you can see them at a glance. With Google built in, you can use voice control to call a contact, queue a playlist, or set a destination without taking your eyes off the road. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep essential apps at your fingertips, while available wireless phone charging helps eliminate clutter. Those conveniences pair naturally with premium touches such as standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel to turn chilly mornings into a comfortable start.
Cargo management is just as polished. The rear 60/40 split-bench folds to unlock up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo space, and hidden underfloor storage helps protect items out of view. The available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate is a daily difference-maker when your hands are full of groceries or camping gear. Roof rails are available for bulkier items, and the pass-through center console brings day-to-day order to drinks, devices, and on-the-go essentials. Whether you lean toward the sporty RS with Black emblems and an available two-tone Black roof or the adventurous ACTIV with all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension, there is a configuration that fits your style and your weekend plans. At Baker Chevrolet GMC South Haven, serving Benton Harbor, Holland, and St. Joseph, our team can walk through these details and help tailor features to your routine so you leave confident and ready for the road ahead.
