More Smart Features in the 2026 Chevy Equinox | Drive Modes, Auto Hold & More

the 2026 Chevy Equinox is packed with smart, driver-focused features that make everyday driving easier and more comfortable. Non-commission sales specialist Brendan Motill shares more. On the left side of the steering wheel, you’ll find several important controls, including the electronic parking brake, all-wheel drive, and Auto Hold. Auto Hold is especially helpful in traffic or at stoplights. When you’re fully stopped, the vehicle will stay stopped even if you take your foot off the brake, even while in drive. Once you press the gas, you’ll move forward as normal. If you brake again, Auto Hold re-engages and keeps the vehicle stationary without needing to keep your foot on the brake. Another useful feature is engine auto start/stop. When you come to a complete stop, the engine will automatically shut off to help save fuel. You can easily toggle this feature on or off depending on your preference. The Equinox also offers multiple drive modes, including Off-Road and Snow/Ice mode, which help provide better traction and control in changing road conditions. These modes make the Equinox a confident choice year-round, especially in Midwest weather.
