Lewiston Chevrolet – Trail-Ready by Design: The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV for Lewiston, ID Adventures

If your Saturdays include gravel cut-throughs, scenic byways, and spur-of-the-moment stops at a trailhead, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV is a natural fit. This adventure-leaning trim shows off a unique grille and front fascia, 17-inch machined wheels with all-terrain tires, and a uniquely tuned suspension that lends composure to rutted access roads without sacrificing comfort on the highway. Add the available two-tone white roof and roof rails, and your gear is as welcome as your friends. Inside, durable yet premium Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces stand up to muddy boots and frequent cleanups, while the pass-through center console and hidden cargo floor storage keep essentials secure and within reach.

Technology never takes a back seat, even when you do. The 11.3-inch infotainment touch-screen anchors a modern cockpit, with Google built-in and voice-friendly Google Assistant managing directions to the campsite, playlists for the drive, and hands-free calls along the way. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your phone out of sight and your focus on the road, while available wireless phone charging helps cut cable clutter. Standard Chevy Safety Assist and available upgrades like HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking bring visibility to tricky trailhead lots and crowded downtown streets alike. And when traction matters, available all-wheel drive teams with the Drive Mode Selector to help the ACTIV feel surefooted in changing conditions.

• All-terrain traction: 17-inch machined wheels and all-terrain tires add confident grip when pavement ends.
• Refined durability: Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces balance upscale feel with easy cleanup.
• Trail-ready stance: A uniquely tuned suspension helps smooth gravel and uneven surfaces.
• Adventure aesthetics: The available two-tone white roof and roof rails blend style with utility.
• Smart cargo solutions: A pass-through center console, 60/40 split-bench, and hidden storage simplify packing.

Everyday drives benefit, too. Adaptive Cruise Control, IntelliBeam, and the 11-inch Driver Information Center keep long stretches relaxed and information clear. The available AutoSense Power Liftgate streamlines loading when your hands are full of coolers or camping totes. With up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume, you can load bulky gear for the weekend and still save room for a last-minute grocery run on Sunday evening.

1. Pick your routes: Use Google built-in to chart a scenic drive, then add offline maps for areas with spotty coverage.
2. Dial in drive modes: Match the Drive Mode Selector to the terrain before turning off paved roads.
3. Stage your gear: Place heavier items low and forward, then use hidden storage to secure smaller essentials.
4. Use camera tech: Rely on HD Surround Vision to navigate tight trailhead spaces with confidence.
5. Keep phones charged: Set devices on the available wireless charging pad so cords don’t get in the way.

Comfort is a year-round companion in the ACTIV. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel make winter starts more comfortable, while thoughtful cabin ergonomics and crisp screen graphics reduce distraction. When your plans bring friends, the second row’s generous legroom and seatback angle make longer drives more relaxed, and the folding 60/40 split-bench adapts quickly when a friend brings a last-minute cooler or duffel.
