Straight Talk on Equinox Pricing
Pricing matters when you're weighing a new SUV, so we keep it clear. The figures on this page are approximate 2026 MSRPs - real starting points, not fine print. Your final number shifts with drivetrain, packages, accessories, your trade-in, and current incentives, and we're happy to walk through all of it.
We'd rather give you an honest base price now than surprise you later. Call us at 619-460-1311 and we'll build a complete offer in minutes with a few details from you.
Where the Equinox stands out is value. At about $28,800 to start, a well-equipped LT undercuts the typical entry price of a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V while still including the 11.3-inch Google built-in screen, heated seats, and 15-plus standard safety features.
Package pricing and Chevrolet incentives change with the calendar, so for a complete picture - packages, accessories, and any current offers - a quick call or visit is always the most accurate path.
Trim Level Pricing
Approximate Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, front-wheel drive. Add about $2,000 for all-wheel drive. Excludes destination charge, taxes, title, license, and dealer fees. Confirm exact pricing with Bob Stall Chevrolet.
RS vs ACTIV - Same Price, Different Direction
The RS and ACTIV start at the same approximate MSRP but point the Equinox in opposite directions. The RS is the street-styled one - black grille and trim, the largest available wheels, sport cabin. The ACTIV is the adventure one - all-terrain tires, a tuned suspension, and the warm Maple Sugar interior. Same money, different personality - it comes down to how you spend your weekends.
Package Pricing
Packages are configured at order time and vary in price, and they shift with Chevrolet incentive cycles - which is why we don't publish fixed package prices here rather than risk showing a number that's out of date.
Available Packages
- Midnight Edition (LT only)
- Panoramic Sunroof (all trims)
- Safety & Technology Package (all trims)
- Convenience Package II / ZQ3 (LT; std on RS/ACTIV)
- Convenience Package III (RS and ACTIV) - confirmed on RS/ACTIV stickers (~$945-$950)
- Black or White two-tone roof (by trim)
What Affects Package Price
- Current Chevrolet incentive programs
- Model-year production timing
- Regional market pricing
- Bundled package combinations
- Prices are set at order time, not after delivery

Chevrolet runs incentives regularly and they change monthly.
