Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox

1.5L Turbo Engine and Drive Mode Selector

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is powered by an efficient 1.5L Turbo engine that produces 175 hp and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. That combination gives the SUV the responsive feel drivers appreciate in town while maintaining a composed character on longer drives. Chevrolet pairs this engine with a standard Drive Mode Selector, allowing the driver to dial in the SUV’s behavior based on the road surface and driving situation. This is especially useful for shoppers who want one vehicle that can feel relaxed during daily commuting and more composed when conditions call for extra attention. Available all-wheel drive further expands the Equinox’s capability by adding traction on demand. When properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs., giving owners the flexibility to haul more when needed, whether that means a small utility trailer, light recreational gear, or extra equipment for a project.

11.3" Diagonal Infotainment Touchscreen

Technology is a major strength of the 2027 Equinox, and the 11.3" diagonal infotainment touchscreen is the feature many drivers will interact with most often. The large, personalized display brings maps, entertainment, vehicle settings, and connected apps into an easy-to-view central location. Chevrolet includes seamless OnStar connectivity plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, giving drivers familiar access to music, messages, calls, and navigation through supported smartphones. Voice commands help reduce distraction by allowing the driver to manage key functions while keeping attention on the road. Available wireless phone charging adds another layer of convenience by helping reduce cable clutter in the cabin. Google built-in integration also supports a connected driving experience, making the Equinox feel current, intuitive, and ready for drivers who expect their vehicle technology to work smoothly with daily digital life.

Chevy Safety Assist

The 2027 Equinox comes with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, including Chevy Safety Assist, a package of six advanced technologies. This suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Together, these systems help support awareness during common driving situations such as following traffic, lane changes, night driving, and busy intersections. Available safety and driver assistance technologies can further enhance visibility and confidence, including HD Surround Vision, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Camera Mirror, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. As Chevrolet notes, safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely. Still, the depth of standard and available systems makes the Equinox especially appealing for shoppers who want a compact SUV that prioritizes peace of mind.

Versatile Cargo and Smart Storage

Chevrolet highlights the 2027 Equinox for its versatile cargo area and storage solutions, and that practicality matters every day. A compact SUV needs to be easy to park and maneuver, yet roomy enough to carry what life requires. The Equinox is designed to support that balance. Its cargo area can accommodate common items such as groceries, sports bags, luggage, and small home improvement supplies, while thoughtful interior storage helps keep smaller belongings organized. The cabin layout feels intentional, with technology and storage arranged to reduce clutter and make frequent use more convenient. For households with changing schedules, the Equinox offers the kind of flexibility that makes errands, commuting, and weekend plans easier to manage. Whether carrying passengers, cargo, or a mix of both, the SUV is built to feel ready without demanding extra effort from the driver.

LT, RS, and ACTIV Design Choices

The 2027 Equinox lineup gives shoppers three distinct personalities to consider. The LT is where style meets versatility, offering core comfort and technology features such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and the 11.3" diagonal infotainment touchscreen. The RS is designed to stand out with black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, standard 19" wheels, available 20" machined wheels, and an available two-tone Black roof. The ACTIV has a more adventure-ready character, adding all-terrain tires, uniquely-tuned suspension, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, and an available two-tone white roof. Across the lineup, Equinox features a distinctive grille, sculpted taillamps, a confident stance, all-LED lighting, and available two-tone roof combinations. Exterior colors include options such as Sterling Gray Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Reef Blue Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Polar White Tricoat.
