Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: Natural Resources Canada's combined rating for the Equinox, 8.7 L/100 km (27 mpg, US gallons). The NRCan file is dated 2026-09-18, the Last-Modified sent by the server with nrcan_2026.csv.↩
  2. CO₂: NRCan's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 204 g/km, or 328 g/mi.↩
  3. Fuel cost: an estimate — 15,000 km a year at 8.7 L/100 km, priced at C$1.738 per litre, Statistics Canada's Canada-wide average for regular unleaded at self-service stations, August 2026 (Table 18-10-0001-01). Five years: C$11,341. The record carries US$8,279 at 0.73 (rate of 2026-09-13). No publisher states this figure.↩
  4. Power: 175 hp is the rated figure, from EPA test-car data.↩
  5. Crash rating: not published. NHTSA lists this car (21823, 21822) and publishes no overall rating for it: it rates a car overall only when it has run the frontal, side and rollover tests on it.↩
  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (EQUINOX ICE), as of 2026-09-10 — a US register. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  7. Complaints: NHTSA holds 59 for the 2026 Equinox, 3 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: not published in this market-year — complaint_rate: no row in this market-year carries it from a source that measures it (0/372).↩
  8. Kerb weight: not published. No source states a curb weight for this car.↩
  9. Warranty: not carried. The warranty table compiled from each maker's published statement has no verified entry for Chevrolet for 2026 in this market.↩
  10. Registrations: 19,589 Equinoxs of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
  11. This car is measured on the petrol scale: litres per 100 km, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
  12. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2026 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
