2026 Chevrolet Equinox city/highway fuel-economy figures β covering both the gas-powered version and the all-electric EV version:
π 2026 Chevrolet Equinox (Gasoline)
The 2026 gas-powered Equinox uses a turbocharged 1.5 L 4-cyl engine and is offered in both front-wheel-drive (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations:
π EPA City / Highway MPG (Gas)
-
FWD: ~26 mpg city / 28 mpg highway
-
AWD: ~24 mpg city / 29 mpg highway
(EPA estimates based on Cars.com and other listings for the 2026 Equinox gas SUV.)
π‘ Combined figures are typically ~27 mpg for FWD and ~26 mpg for AWD.
β‘ 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV (Electric)
The Equinox EV is a separate all-electric SUV model with EPA MPGe (Miles Per Gallon Equivalent) ratings β not traditional mpg:
β‘ EPA City / Highway MPGe (Electric)
-
FWD Equinox EV: ~117 MPGe city / 100 MPGe highway
-
AWD Equinox EV: ~112 MPGe city / 95 MPGe highway
(EPA ratings for 2026 EV models; MPGe measures energy efficiency equivalent to miles per gallon of gasoline.)
π‘ EPA combined MPGe for the FWD EV is ~108 MPGe with an ~319-mile range on a full charge; AWD versions have slightly lower efficiency and range (~307 mi).
π§ Quick Summary
| Model / Powertrain | City | Highway | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equinox (Gas β FWD) | ~26 mpg | ~28 mpg | Standard compact SUV |
| Equinox (Gas β AWD) | ~24 mpg | ~29 mpg | Slightly better highway with AWD |
| Equinox EV (FWD) | ~117 MPGe | ~100 MPGe | Electric efficiency, ~319 mi range |
| Equinox EV (AWD) | ~112 MPGe | ~95 MPGe | Electric AWD version |
π§© Notes
-
Gas Equinox fuel economy is typical for a compact SUV, offering decent efficiency especially in FWD form.
-
Equinox EV delivers far higher MPGe figures because itβs electric β MPGe estimates arenβt directly comparable to traditional mpg but show relative efficiency.
-
Real-world efficiency on the EV can vary with driving style and speed; highway range often trails EPA estimates a bit in testing.
If you want, I can also estimate approximate driving range per tank (gas) or per full charge (EV) for the 2026 Equinox!
