Introducing the 2027 Chevy Equinox: More of What Drivers Love

It’s hard to believe that the Chevy Equinox has been on the roads for over 20 years. At the same time, it’s hard to imagine a world without this versatile two-row SUV. The 2027 Chevy Equinox builds on the compact SUV we know and love, with updates that make it irresistible to drivers who want more for their money.

Perhaps the time is right for you to join the devoted drivers who feel that, from the engine to the trims and add-ons, the Equinox hits a “just right” spot. Whether you’re looking for a specific feature or want an all-around feel-good small SUV, there’s plenty to love about the new Chevy Equinox lineup.

Read on to learn more about the 2027 Equinox, and you might start to see why so many drivers choose this fun, flexible, and well-outfitted five-passenger SUV.

Power and Performance

The 2027 Chevy Equinox is not a track-ready sports car or a heavy-duty truck; instead, it is a practical, efficient people-mover that can tackle both merging onto the highway and maneuvering into tight parallel parking spots with skill.

Under the hood of every 2027 Equinox is a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque for quick acceleration, paired with a newly standard eight-speed automatic transmission that offers fluid gear changes.

All drivers have a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, regardless of which trim they choose. All-wheel drive Equinox models include a specialized Off-Road drive mode for extra support on unpaved surfaces.

When it comes to practicality, the Chevy Equinox excels in many areas. The first is carrying cargo. With all seats occupied, the 2027 Equinox still has room for up to 29.8 cubic feet of belongings. With the rear split-fold seat completely stowed, that space expands to a massive 63.5 cubic feet, or enough room for camping gear, band instruments, science projects, or home improvement tools, depending on what today brings. There’s also a hidden storage area under the rear cargo floor to keep items out of sight without getting lost.

The Equinox is also equipped to tow up to 1,500 pounds. Whether you have a long-distance road trip in mind or lots of local adventures with the entire family, it’s easy to put all of the space and capacity offered by this SUV to use.

Let Them See You Coming in a Brand-New Equinox

The 2027 Chevy Equinox is offered in three distinct trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV. No matter which model you choose, Chevy has provided you with all of the necessities, including standard remote start and heated outside mirrors.

The LT trim includes 17-inch metallic wheels, all-season tires, and an array of exciting exterior paint colors, such as Autumn Harvest Metallic, which is new for 2027. The Equinox RS and Equinox ACIV models, however, take things to the next level both inside and out.

The RS trim is distinguished by its available black two-tone roof and 19-inch aluminum wheels, while the ACTIV is offered with an available white two-tone roof and 17-inch Dark Android aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires.

Inside, the RS has a flat-bottom sport steering wheel and Torch Red contrast stitching to appeal to your bold side. If you’d like an interior that feels more in tune with outdoor adventure, the ACTIV features more neutral colors and sueded microfiber upholstery accents.

Both the RS and ACTIV come with roof-mounted side rails to expand your cargo-carrying potential, as well.

Tech and Comfort Come Standard in the 2027 Equinox

Most of us have things we’d rather be doing than being stuck behind the wheel, but reality includes long commutes, stop-and-go traffic, and crowded parking lots. Chevy demonstrates its empathy for the everyday driver with a full suite of standard safety and convenience features to make driving less of a hassle.

Advanced Safety

Every 2027 Equinox SUV is equipped with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver-assistance technologies, including Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams.

Drivers who wish to build upon this solid foundation can add the Safety and Technology Package to any Equinox, augmenting the standard offerings with HD Surround Vision, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Rear Pedestrian Alert.

Cabin Tech Features

The standard technology inside the cabin is equally helpful, with all of the features that keep drivers connected and comfortable at hand. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard in the 2027 Equinox, as are an 11-inch Driver Information Center and an 11.3-inch advanced color LCD infotainment display.

Not only is the Equinox Wi-Fi hotspot capable, but it also offers two front and two rear USB ports in addition to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Standard Active Noise Cancellation employs the speakers to soften exterior road noise.

Another fan-favorite standard feature is Adaptive Cruise Control, which automatically makes adjustments in speed based on traffic ahead of you, taking some of the tedium out of a long drive home.

Exploring the Top Trims

For the most part, you’ll find very similar tech and comfort features on the 2027 Equinox RS and 2027 Equinox ACTIV trims. The main differences between these two models lie in attitude, with the RS offering a sportier outlook on life, while the ACTIV includes a specially tuned suspension for the road less traveled.

Both models offer drivers even more to love in traffic and the fast lane alike, including a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a built-in sunglasses holder.

But the tech on these models climbs to an entirely different level, with a standard cabin humidity sensor, Rainsense automatic windshield wipers with a heated wiper park, wireless device charging, and a Universal Home Remote.

These models also get Chevy’s AutoSense power liftgate, which can be programmed via the memory height function to open to your desired level automatically when the key fob is detected.

Available Upgrades

Looking for the maximalist approach to your 2027 Equinox? Chevy offers a variety of optional packages to help drivers create the model that best reflects their personality, wants, needs, and budget.

For example, drivers who are looking for the highest level of in-cabin technology might consider the Convenience Package III, which can be added to the RS and ACTIV trims. This package adds a power-adjustable seat for the front passenger, along with two-way power lumbar adjustments. The driver gains memory settings for their seat, making it possible to let someone else drive your car without losing your perfect position. And the rear passengers aren’t forgotten: this package adds heated rear outboard seats, too.

Which 2027 Chevy Equinox Is Right for You?

Most drivers today want something dependable and versatile that they can handle everything involved with their busy lives. From its impressive standard capability to its flexible interior, the Equinox has what it takes to be many things to many drivers.

With the peace of mind that comes from a robust array of safety and driver-assistance features, combined with a cozy cabin with all the necessities, it’s easy to see why the Equinox finds so many satisfied buyers year after year.
