DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet - How the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox Elevates Everyday Tech and Traction around Sycamore, IL
When shoppers ask what makes the latest Equinox such an easy recommendation, we point to two essentials that matter every day — the intuitive big-screen cabin tech and the confident traction options that help keep you moving. The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen and 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center bring key information and entertainment within easy reach, while Google built-in lets you use your voice for navigation, calls, and more. Add Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility and available wireless phone charging, and the cabin stays uncluttered and responsive for life on the go. On the capability side, the standard Drive Mode Selector and available all-wheel drive provide the kind of sure-footedness that builds trust in rain, sleet, or slush. Whether you prefer the athletic vibe of RS with Black emblems and badging or the adventure-forward ACTIV with uniquely tuned suspension and all-terrain tires, the Equinox makes daily driving feel simpler and more enjoyable from the start.
At DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet GMC, we meet drivers at every point in their search, from early research to test-drive day, serving North Aurora, Kingston, and Sycamore with transparent guidance and model expertise. If you are cross-shopping compact SUVs, you will appreciate how the Equinox balances upscale design elements — like refined finish stitching and available two-tone roofs — with practical touches that you notice every single day: generous cargo room, a pass-through center console, and an available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate. It is a smart, well-rounded formula that works across city commutes, school drop-offs, and weekend getaways.

Traction is the other half of the story. The standard Drive Mode Selector lets you tailor responses to your day — whether you are threading through wet city streets or cruising open highways. Available all-wheel drive adds the on-demand traction you want as temperatures drop, and ACTIV’s uniquely tuned suspension and all-terrain tires offer additional poise when pavement gives way to gravel, grass, or snow. The result is a crossover that feels secure and composed without sacrificing the quiet, refined ride you want in a family-friendly SUV.
Safety and awareness technologies also reinforce that everyday ease. Chevy Safety Assist includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. For a broader view and more assistance in tight spaces, available HD Surround Vision, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and the Rear Camera Mirror can be added. Together with OnStar® availability, these features help you feel supported before, during, and after every trip.
