2026 Chevy Equinox EV RS Technical Specifications & Features
The 2026 Chevy Equinox RS is the most searched-for trim in the Equinox EV lineup for a reason. It bridges the gap between daily efficiency and aggressive sport-inspired design. While the RS badge (Rally Sport) has historically been an appearance package, the 2026 Equinox EV RS pairs this aesthetic with serious electric torque, creating a driving experience that matches its bold look.
For Tulsa drivers who want the technical breakdown, we have compiled the definitive spec sheet for the RS trim, covering everything from acceleration times to cargo dimensions.
RS Performance: 0-60 & Power Output
The 2026 Equinox RS gives you two distinct powertrain options. The choice between Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and electric All-Wheel Drive (eAWD) fundamentally changes the vehicle's character.
If you prioritize raw acceleration for merging onto Highway 169, the eAWD configuration is the engineering choice. It adds a second motor to the rear axle, increasing horsepower by nearly 35%.
Exterior Dimensions & Wheel Specs
The stance of the Equinox RS is defined by its rolling stock. It is one of the few vehicles in its class to offer 21-inch wheels as an option, filling the wheel wells for a concept-car look.
Engineers have pushed the wheels to the corners of the chassis (a design trait of the Ultium platform), which increases the wheelbase. A longer wheelbase improves stability at high speeds and smooths out ride quality on uneven Oklahoma pavement.
● Wheelbase: 116.3 inches
● Overall Length: 190.4 inches
● Overall Width (w/o mirrors): 75.0 inches
● Overall Height: 63.5 inches
● Ground Clearance: 6.4 inches
● Standard Wheels: 21-inch Black Painted Aluminum (RS specific)
Interior Dimensions & Cargo Space
The lack of a transmission tunnel, thanks to the flat battery pack floor, translates to exceptional interior volume. The 2026 Equinox RS offers "class-above" passenger space, particularly for rear-seat occupants.
The RS interior is distinguished by Adrenaline Red stitching and a flat-bottom steering wheel, but the raw numbers are what make it a practical family hauler.
● Head Room (Front/Rear): 40.0 in / 38.5 in
● Leg Room (Front/Rear): 41.7 in / 38.0 in
● Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 57.7 in / 56.4 in
● Cargo Volume (Behind Rear Seat): 26.4 cu. ft.
● Max Cargo Volume (Seats Folded): 57.2 cu. ft.
Technology & RS-Specific Features
The "features" of the RS go beyond the powertrain. Chevrolet includes a suite of standard equipment on this trim that is often optional on competitors.
- Heated Flat-Bottom Steering Wheel: Standard on RS.
- Heated Front Seats: Standard on RS.
- Power Liftgate: Standard, with Autosense technology.
- 17.7-inch Infotainment Screen: Running Google Built-in functionality.
- Black Ice Chrome: A darkened chrome finish exclusive to the RS grille and accents.
