Thielen Motors – 2026 Chevrolet Equinox RS — sporty style and everyday comfort and convenience around Fargo, ND
If your next compact SUV needs to look sharp Monday through Friday and still feel at home on a Saturday night out, the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox RS should be on your short list. This confident, sporty trim blends an assertive, Black-accented exterior and a driver-focused cockpit with the practical features busy Northerners rely on. The RS wears a unique grille and lower fascia, Black mirrors, moldings, emblems, and badging, plus 19-inch machined wheels with available 20-inch machined wheels for a bolder stance. Inside, a flat-bottom steering wheel, RS debossed head restraints, and stitching in Torch Red or Santorini Blue set a purposeful tone. It’s more than a look—tech and safety come standard, led by the 11.3-inch infotainment touch-screen, 11-inch Driver Information Center, Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and the confidence of Chevy Safety Assist.
Daily life around Fargo, ND demands a smart balance of comfort, capability, and awareness. The Equinox RS delivers with the standard Drive Mode Selector, a capable 1.5L Turbo engine, and available all-wheel drive for traction on slushy mornings and gravel drives. Available HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking provide helpful visibility for downtown parking and school pickup lines. Add the convenience of the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate and practical cargo touches like a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and underfloor storage, and errands feel easier, even during the long winter stretch.
