Orel Hershiser Chevrolet – Why the 11.3-inch infotainment and Google built-in make the 2026 Equinox easier to live with around Glendora, CA

Modern SUVs promise seamless tech, but few bring together clarity, speed, and simplicity like the 2026 Equinox. If you drive around Glendora, CA with a busy schedule, the combination of an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen, an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, and Google built in with Google Assistant turns routines into smooth, connected moments. Navigation, playlists, podcasts, calls, and smart-home control live a tap or voice command away, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep your favorite apps front and center without a tangle of cords. For families and commuters, the design emphasizes glanceable information and intuitive controls, so you get what you need with minimal distraction.

Beyond crisp displays, the Equinox layout and features do small things extraordinarily well. The convenient pass-through center console welcomes tablets, handbags, and water bottles, and available wireless phone charging tidies up the cabin while ensuring your device stays ready for the day. Need to haul sports gear or groceries? Fold the 60/40 split-bench seat to unlock up to 63.5 cu. ft. of max cargo volume, and use the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate when your hands are full. Add available all-wheel drive, a standard Drive Mode Selector, and available HD Surround Vision, and you have a compact SUV that supports the way you actually live, from school runs to weekend getaways.

  • 11.3-inch infotainment clarity: Large icons and smooth transitions make it easy to manage music, maps, and settings without losing focus.
  • Google built in with Google Assistant: Use natural voice commands for directions, messages, reminders, and smart-home control, no phone required.
  • Wireless connections that work: Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility plus available wireless phone charging minimize cable clutter.
  • Cargo made simple: A flexible second row, hidden underfloor storage, and an available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate make loading and organizing easy.

Confidence is built into every drive. Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. For urban errands or tight parking garages, available HD Surround Vision provides a high-resolution overhead display that helps you place the vehicle precisely. Available Adaptive Cruise Control assists with steady highway pacing, while available Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Side Bicyclist Alert enhance awareness in busy lots and city streets. The result is a compact SUV that supports better decisions without getting in the way.
