Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox
11.3" Diagonal Infotainment Touchscreen
The centerpiece of the Equinox cabin is the 11.3" diagonal infotainment touchscreen, designed to make everyday driving feel more connected and organized. Chevy describes it as a large, personalized display for engaging infotainment, and that matters because modern drivers rely on maps, audio, messages, phone calls, and vehicle settings throughout the day. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility help bring familiar smartphone functions into the vehicle, while voice commands allow access to apps, music, maps, and messages while keeping attention where it belongs. Google built-in adds another layer of convenience for drivers who appreciate integrated digital tools. Available wireless phone charging helps reduce cable clutter, keeping the cabin cleaner and more functional. Whether you are navigating through downtown traffic, checking a route before heading across West Michigan, or streaming your favorite playlist, this touchscreen helps the Equinox feel current, intuitive, and easy to use.
Chevy Safety Assist
Safety is one of the strongest reasons to consider the Equinox. The 2027 model comes with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, including Chevy Safety Assist, a package of six advanced features. Automatic Emergency Braking can help alert the driver and may assist with braking in certain situations. Front Pedestrian Braking is designed to help in specific scenarios involving pedestrians ahead. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can provide gentle steering assistance and alerts if the vehicle begins to drift from a detected lane without an active turn signal. Forward Collision Alert can warn of a potential front-end collision, while Following Distance Indicator helps show following time behind a detected vehicle. IntelliBeam® can automatically switch between high and low beams when appropriate. Available features such as HD Surround Vision, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Camera Mirror, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking add even more helpful visibility and awareness options. Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely, but the Equinox provides a strong support system.
Available All-Wheel Drive
Available all-wheel drive gives the Equinox additional traction on demand, which can be especially valuable for West Michigan drivers who encounter changing road surfaces, rural roads, highway merges, and busy local streets. The system is part of the Equinox’s broader capability story, working with the standard Drive Mode Selector to help the SUV adapt to different driving conditions. This flexibility makes the vehicle feel more confident without making daily operation complicated. For drivers who regularly travel between communities, carry passengers, or want added peace of mind when road grip varies, available all-wheel drive is a feature worth considering carefully during the shopping process. It pairs well with the Equinox’s efficient 1.5L Turbo engine, which delivers 175 hp and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. The result is an SUV that feels well suited to practical daily use while still offering the added capability many shoppers want from a compact SUV.
Versatile Cargo Space
Chevy highlights versatile cargo and storage solutions as core strengths of the Equinox, and that practicality is easy to appreciate. A compact SUV should make life simpler, not force compromises every time plans change. The Equinox provides space for grocery bags, luggage, sports equipment, work items, pet supplies, and home improvement essentials. Its cargo area is designed to support everyday routines and unexpected errands alike. This flexibility is particularly helpful for drivers who want SUV utility without moving into a larger vehicle. The gallery content from Chevrolet shows the Equinox carrying golf bags, which is a useful example of how the cargo area can support recreation as well as daily responsibilities. Inside the cabin, thoughtful storage helps keep smaller items organized and accessible. For online shoppers comparing vehicles, cargo design is not just about numbers; it is about how easily the vehicle fits your schedule, your passengers, and your belongings.
Distinctive Design and Trim Personality
The Equinox has a confident visual identity, with a distinctive grille, sculpted taillamps, all-LED lighting, and a stance that feels modern without looking overdone. Each model features its own grille and front fascia, giving shoppers more ways to match style with personality. The LT offers a clean, versatile appearance that fits a wide variety of lifestyles. The RS is the standout for drivers who want a sport-inspired look, thanks to 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 leans into rugged character with all-terrain tires, uniquely-tuned suspension, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, and an available two-tone white roof. Exterior color options shown by Chevrolet include Sterling Gray Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Reef Blue Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Polar White Tricoat, with several available two-tone roof combinations.
