2027 Chevrolet Equinox: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox carries a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay across every trim. It adds wireless Android Auto and a Drive Mode Selector as standard equipment, raising the baseline over the prior year. This page covers every trim, spec, and tech feature, with current inventory at Jim Norton T-Town Chevrolet.
What's New for 2027
The headline upgrade for 2027 is the standard 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, now paired with an 11-inch Digital Driver Information Center display on every Equinox. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are both standard, removing the need for a cable connection that many competing compact SUVs still require. The Drive Mode Selector is now fitted across the entire lineup rather than reserved for upper trims.
Remote Start comes standard as well, a meaningful addition for Tulsa drivers dealing with Oklahoma heat or winter cold. Rain-Sensing Wipers, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and Wireless Phone Charging step up on the RS and ACTIV trims, giving those grades a noticeably upgraded daily-use experience over the base LT.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Equinox is offered in three grades, LT, RS, and ACTIV, each available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
LT
LT is the entry point. It includes the 11.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, Remote Start, standard safety suite, and 29.8 cu ft of cargo space behind the second row. FWD and AWD versions are both available.
RS
RS moves the Equinox into sport-inspired territory with a blacked-out exterior treatment. It adds Wireless Phone Charging, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, Rain-Sensing Wipers, and available features like the 360-Degree Camera System and Panoramic Sunroof. Both drivetrain configurations are offered.
ACTIV
ACTIV shares its feature set with the RS but shifts the styling toward an outdoor-ready aesthetic. It is built for buyers who want a more rugged look without sacrificing the tech content that the RS delivers. AWD on the ACTIV makes it a capable choice for anyone venturing off smooth pavement around the Tulsa area.
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2027 Equinox uses a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 175 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, routed through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available on all three trim grades.
- EPA-estimated fuel economy comes in at 25 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined on FWD models. EPA fuel economy ratings Towing capacity is rated at 1,500 lbs, suitable for small trailers and recreational equipment.
- The turbocharged engine delivers enough low-end pull for everyday merging and highway passing without demanding premium fuel, which keeps running costs predictable.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Equinox seats five across two rows with 29.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. That number puts it solidly in the competitive compact SUV class and handles grocery runs, sports gear, and weekend trips with room to spare.
The LT uses quality cloth materials, while RS and ACTIV trims step up the interior finish in line with their premium positioning. The available Panoramic Sunroof opens the cabin considerably, a popular option among Tulsa buyers who want that open-air feel without moving to a larger vehicle.
An available AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading and unloading easier when hands are full, a practical feature for families.
Technology & Infotainment
Every 2027 Equinox comes with the 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen and 11-inch Digital Driver Information Center display as standard. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto mean you connect your phone by dropping it in the tray rather than hunting for a cable.
Remote Start is standard on all trims. RS and ACTIV add Wireless Phone Charging, so the center console doubles as a charging pad. Available options across the lineup include the 360-Degree Camera System, which brings all four corners of the vehicle to the screen when maneuvering in tight spaces.
AM/FM Radio and Cruise Control round out the standard tech content, with the Drive Mode Selector letting drivers adjust the vehicle's throttle and handling behavior to suit conditions.
Safety & Driver Assistance
The 2027 Equinox ships with a complete suite of standard active safety systems:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Warning
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Departure Steering Assistance with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- Automatic High Beams
- Driver Airbag
These systems work together to flag hazards and respond faster than most drivers can react. The available 360-Degree Camera System adds a bird's-eye view for low-speed maneuvering, which pairs well with the standard safety suite in parking lots and tight urban streets.
Who It's For Compared to the Prior Year
The 2027 Equinox is the right choice for compact SUV shoppers who want a larger standard screen, always-wireless smartphone integration, and more standard tech without paying for a higher trim grade. Buyers who were on the fence about the prior Equinox because of a smaller display or wired CarPlay now get those features at the base level.
AWD availability on every trim makes the 2027 a stronger year-round option for buyers in Tulsa and across the surrounding region who want added confidence in rain or light off-road conditions. Shoppers upgrading from older compact SUVs will notice the biggest jump in cabin technology and daily-use convenience.
The RS suits urban commuters who want a sport aesthetic and the full comfort package. The ACTIV fits those who spend weekends off the pavement and want their SUV to look the part. The LT serves anyone who wants an honest, well-equipped compact SUV at the accessible end of the lineup.
