Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox

11.3" diagonal infotainment touchscreen

The 11.3" diagonal infotainment touchscreen is one of the defining pieces of the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox interior. Chevrolet describes it as a large, personalized display for engaging infotainment, and that focus is easy to appreciate during everyday use. The screen places apps, entertainment, navigation support, and vehicle controls within convenient reach, helping the cabin feel modern without overwhelming the driver. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility help bring familiar smartphone functions into the vehicle, while voice commands allow access to music, maps, messages, and more while attention stays on the road. Google built-in further enhances the connected feel, and OnStar connectivity adds another layer of confidence and convenience. Available wireless phone charging helps reduce cord clutter, making the center area cleaner and more functional for daily travel.

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 features. This package includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. These systems are designed to help support driver awareness in common traffic situations, from monitoring following distance to helping with lane positioning and forward collision alerts. IntelliBeam® can automatically manage high beams when conditions allow, while Front Pedestrian Braking adds support in certain pedestrian detection situations. Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely, but this strong standard package shows how Chevrolet prioritized confidence from the start.

Available all-wheel drive

Available all-wheel drive gives the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox added traction on demand, which can be especially useful for drivers who encounter varying road surfaces, gravel routes, wet pavement, or busy highway merges. Paired with the standard Drive Mode Selector, the Equinox lets drivers dial in a more tailored drive based on current conditions. The system supports the SUV’s everyday capability without taking away from its efficient, easygoing nature. This matters for shoppers who want a compact SUV that feels comfortable for routine driving but still offers extra confidence when the route becomes less predictable. Whether heading across town, out toward rural roads, or through heavier traffic areas, available all-wheel drive helps the Equinox feel composed and ready.

1.5L Turbo engine

The standard 1.5L Turbo engine gives the 2027 Equinox responsive everyday performance with 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. Chevrolet positions this engine as an efficient performance choice, and it fits the Equinox mission well. It delivers the kind of power drivers need for commuting, passing, merging, and carrying passengers or cargo without making the SUV feel excessive. The Equinox can also tow up to 1,500 lbs. when properly equipped, adding practical usefulness for lighter hauling needs. This combination of turbocharged response, manageable size, and available towing capability makes the Equinox appealing for drivers who want one vehicle to handle many parts of daily life.

Distinctive design

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox has a confident look shaped by a distinctive grille, sculpted taillamps, all-LED lighting, and a strong stance. Each model features its own grille and front fascia, giving LT, RS, and ACTIV a more personalized identity. RS brings black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging, along with standard 19" and available 20" machined wheels, plus a flat-bottom steering wheel for a sportier character. ACTIV takes a different approach with all-terrain tires, a uniquely-tuned suspension, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces. Available two-tone roof options add contrast, with combinations such as Radiant Red Tintcoat/Mosaic Black Metallic roof, Lakeshore Blue Metallic/Mosaic Black Metallic roof, and Polar White Tricoat/Mosaic Black Metallic roof. The result is a compact SUV with genuine visual range.
