For years, families all over Southern Indiana have trusted the Chevy Equinox as their go-to commuter.

Ditching the Curves for a Bold, Rugged Look

The very first thing you will notice about the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is its tough new stance. Taking styling cues from Chevy’s popular truck lineup, this crossover moves away from rounded, bubbly body lines and steps up with squared-off wheel arches and a wider, more confident look on the road. Here is what makes the different versions stand out:

  • Trims with Personality: Go for the classic chrome touches on the daily-driver LT, or choose the blacked-out, sporty accents on the eye-catching RS.
  • The Adventure-Ready ACTIV Trim: Built for outdoor families, this brand-new trim comes with tough all-terrain tires, a rugged front bumper design, and an available white contrast roof that looks fantastic in driveways.
  • Sleek Wheel Designs: Gives the crossover a high-end, athletic look with available wheels that go all the way up to a massive 20 inches on the RS.

Pick Your Style: Trims, Colors, and Value

Chevrolet made sure there is a perfect Equinox configuration for every Southern Indiana household. Starting at an affordable, budget-friendly MSRP, $29,000, you can choose from three main trim tiers to get exactly what you need without paying for features you won’t use:

  • LT (The Daily Value): Far from a “base” model, the LT brings standard heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and those gorgeous dual digital screens without breaking the bank.
  • RS (The Head-Turner): Adds a heavy dose of street style with dynamic black exterior badges, a flat-bottom steering wheel, distinctive red/blue cabin stitching, and aggressive 19-inch or 20-inch wheels.
  • ACTIV (The Weekend Explorer): Perfect for camping trips and gravel backroads, featuring a uniquely tuned suspension, 17-inch wheels wrapped in rugged all-terrain rubber, and an exclusive Evotex premium microfiber interior.

You can also show off your personal style with a stunning array of exterior colors. Keep it sleek and classic with deep tones like Mosaic Black Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, or Sterling Gray Metallic. If you want to stand out in the checkout lane, look for the striking Radiant Red Tintcoat or the outdoor-inspired Cacti Green. Best of all, both the RS and ACTIV trims offer available contrast roof options (Black or Summit White) for that premium, custom-two-tone look right from the factory.


Inside the Cabin: Screens Big Enough for Everyone to See

Step inside, and the 2027 Equinox completely redefines what a budget-friendly crossover interior should look like. The dashboard is centered around two giant, crystal-clear digital screens that place your music, navigation, and vehicle details right where you need them:

Daily Tech Feature How It Makes Your Life Easier
11.3-Inch Infotainment Touchscreen A massive central screen that handles your maps and playlists with lightning-fast smartphone responses.
11-Inch Digital Gauge Cluster Sits right behind the steering wheel to show your speed, safety alerts, and navigation routes clearly.
Google Built-In Access Run Google Maps, use voice controls with Google Assistant, and load your favorite media apps directly without even plugging in your phone.
Smart Column Shifter Moved up next to the steering wheel, leaving the center console open for extra storage space.

More Storage Space: Moving the gear shifter up to the steering column opens up a ton of room in the center console—giving you a deep storage spot that is perfect for purses, tablets, or extra snacks.


Smart Fuel Efficiency Meets Complete Safety

Under the hood, every 2027 Equinox is driven by a zippy 1.5L Turbo engine, offering a great mix of quick acceleration and excellent gas mileage. If you choose the standard front-wheel-drive layout, it pairs with a smooth, efficient transmission. If you want peace of mind during messy winter weather, the highly capable All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models upgrade to a heavy-duty 8-speed automatic transmission to handle slick roads easily.

Keeping your family safe is Chevy’s top priority. Every single model comes standard with the Chevy Safety Assist package, keeping an extra eye on the road with these high-tech safety features:

Automatic Emergency Braking & Front Pedestrian Braking

The system constantly watches the road ahead. If the car in front of you stops suddenly, or a pedestrian steps out, the vehicle can automatically slam on the brakes to help avoid a collision.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

If you start to drift out of your lane because you’re distracted by the kids in the back, the steering wheel gives you a gentle nudge to guide you safely back to the center of the lane.

Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking

Busy intersections can be stressful. This smart feature acts as a second set of eyes, watching for cross-traffic and oncoming cars when you are trying to make tricky left or right turns.

What color options are available on the 2027 Chevy Equinox?

The 2027 Equinox offers a great color palette including Mosaic Black Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Summit White, and premium options like Radiant Red Tintcoat and the adventurous Cacti Green. Plus, the RS and ACTIV trims offer eye-catching dual-tone options with contrast roofs in either Black or White.

How much cargo space does the 2027 Chevy Equinox have, and what can you actually fit inside?

The 2027 Equinox gives you plenty of room to pack for family life. With all five seats occupied, you get 29.8 cubic feet of trunk space—plenty of room to fit a full-size double stroller alongside 4 to 5 large paper grocery bags, or a massive rolling cooler for weekend soccer games. When you fold the back seats completely flat, the space opens up to 63.5 cubic feet of total storage, allowing you to easily haul a 55-inch flat-screen TV in its box, a full set of golf clubs, or an entire weekend’s worth of camping gear and luggage.

What kind of gas mileage (MPG) does the 2027 Chevy Equinox get?

It is built to save you cash at the pump. Front-Wheel Drive models get an EPA-estimated 27 MPG combined (26 city / 31 highway). If you upgrade to All-Wheel Drive for extra winter traction, you can still expect a highly efficient 26 MPG combined (25 city / 30 highway).

How long is the 2027 Chevy Equinox, and will it fit inside a standard garage?

Yes, easily! The exterior length of the 2027 Equinox is 183.2 inches. This compact size means it easily parks in standard residential garages and tight suburban parking spots while still providing a spacious, comfortable interior for five adults.

How much weight can the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox tow?

When properly equipped, the 2027 Equinox can tow up to 1,500 pounds across both its front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models. That is plenty of pulling power to tow a pair of jet skis, a light utility trailer for weekend yard projects, or a small pop-up camper.

What trims are available on the new Equinox?

The lineup has been simplified into three high-value trim choices: the well-equipped LT (with standard heated seats/steering wheel), the dark and sporty RS, and the rugged, off-road-styled ACTIV trim.
