What every 2027 Equinox shares
The 2027 Equinox seats five in two rows, and its 1.5L turbo makes 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. A Drive Mode Selector comes standard, and the 11.3-inch touchscreen works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless phone charging is available too.
Safety rides along whichever trim you choose. Chevy Safety Assist brings six features: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator and IntelliBeam. They sit among more than 15 standard safety and driver assistance features.
What's new for 2027
Autumn Harvest Metallic is a new exterior color, and you can choose it on the LT or the ACTIV. An available interior camera joins the lineup as well, adding cabin glance views and security recordings of the interior.
Equinox LT
If comfort is your priority, start here. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard, which helps on a cold Northeast Ohio morning. HD Surround Vision is available too, and the LT is one of two trims that can wear the new Autumn Harvest Metallic paint. For everyday comfort, it's the easy place to begin.
Equinox RS
The RS is the one that looks the part. Black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging give it a sharp edge, and on the 2027 RS, 19-inch machined wheels come standard, with 20-inch machined wheels available. A two-tone black roof is available as well.
Step inside and you'll find a flat-bottom steering wheel. If you want your Equinox to feel a little more athletic, this is the trim we'd point you toward.
Equinox ACTIV
We'd call the ACTIV the right fit if you leave the pavement now and then. It rides on all-terrain tires with a uniquely tuned suspension, and Evotex and sueded microfiber wrap the seating surfaces. A two-tone white roof is available if you want a different look, and Autumn Harvest Metallic is available here too.
Drivetrain and towing
All-wheel drive is available on the 2027 Equinox. If it's on your must-have list, start with our AWD inventory and see which trims catch your eye. When properly equipped, you can tow up to 1,500 lbs.
Which Equinox trim fits you
The LT is the one to look at for heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The RS is the better call if styling is what draws you in, and the ACTIV makes sense if gravel drives and rougher roads are part of your week.
