The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox occupies that appealing bit of SUV territory where it's large enough to accommodate 5 people and their luggage but not so enormous that parking becomes an event. There are 63.5 cu. ft. of maximum cargo space, available AWD, plenty of standard driver-assistance technology, and just 3 trims to understand. For Hillsdale, MI, drivers, the interesting bit is that LT, ACTIV, and RS aren't simply the same Equinox wearing progressively more expensive jewelry. One Turbo Engine, Two Drivetrain Personalities Every 2027 Equinox uses a 1.5L Turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 175 hp, but the drivetrain changes depending on which wheels you're asking it to drive. FWD models use a continuously variable transmission and produce 184 lbs. ft. of torque. Choose AWD and Chevrolet fits an 8-speed automatic, with output increasing to 203 lbs. ft. of torque. Properly equipped AWD models can also tow up to 1,500 lbs. Inside, the Equinox seats 5 and provides a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. Fold it and maximum cargo capacity reaches 63.5 cu. ft. Leave part of it upright and you can carry a rear passenger alongside longer cargo, which is the sort of mundane flexibility that becomes more important after buying an SUV than it ever sounds in a brochure. LT: Everything You Need Before the Interesting Bits Begin LT establishes a surprisingly well-equipped starting point. It includes a standard 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and 17-inch wheels. AWD is available, as is equipment such as HD Surround Vision. There's nothing particularly theatrical about LT, but that's part of its appeal. It delivers the Equinox's core passenger space, cargo capacity, technology, and available AWD without committing to the more specialized personalities of the other 2 trims. ACTIV is where things become more interesting. Chevrolet fits 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires and gives the suspension its own tuning, changes that have considerably more substance than simply attaching rugged-looking trim. Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces distinguish the cabin, while an available contrasting white roof gives the exterior a bit more character. RS heads in the opposite direction. Black mirrors, moldings, emblems, and badging provide the visual theme, while 19-inch wheels are standard and 20-inch machined wheels are available. Inside there's a flat-bottom steering wheel, and an available contrasting Black roof completes the sportier appearance. The distinction is refreshingly easy to understand: ACTIV gets equipment aimed toward rougher surfaces; RS concentrates more heavily on road-going style. Two Big Screens Without Turning the Dashboard Into a Cinema Every Equinox receives an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen alongside an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility are included, while wireless phone charging is available. New for 2027, an available Interior Camera can provide a view of the cabin and support interior security recordings. Available HD Surround Vision is perhaps easier to appreciate immediately, providing additional camera perspectives when squeezing into tight spaces. A Long List of Standard Driver Assistance Chevrolet includes more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features on the 2027 Equinox. Among them are Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. Adaptive Cruise Control is also standard, a feature that can take some of the repetitive work out of longer highway journeys.
