The 2027 Chevy Equinox EV: A Smart and Affordable SUV

Are you interested in driving an electric vehicle for the first time, or upgrading without spending a fortune? The 2027 Chevy Equinox EV offers more of what makes the gas-powered Equinox so popular in an even more eco-friendly form. As a daily driver or commuter vehicle, it powers up to the demands of busy Midwest lifestyles.

Large metro and suburban areas are ideal for EV adoption, as they offer robust charging infrastructure and the right conditions to maximize utility. With that in mind, the 2027 Equinox is geared toward families, young professionals, technology enthusiasts, and many others. At McCluskey Chevrolet, you’ll always drive away with the perfect model.

When you buy or lease a 2027 Equinox EV, you get all the essentials for everyday driving, plus expansive infotainment, safety features, and more. Plus, the Equinox EV can crank up the buzz on the weekends. Here’s what you should know about this compact SUV and why it’s some of the best value in the EV world.

Power and Range for Your Lifestyle

Chevrolet takes full advantage of electric technology by giving the 2027 Equinox EV a definitive burst of power. The standard front-wheel drive powertrain uses an 85-kWh battery and a single motor that produces 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. Combined range is an EPA-estimated 319 miles, which is more than enough to get around the city and take an occasional road trip jaunt.

Do you want to defy expectations? Dual-motor all-wheel drive boosts output to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque, making this crossover positively thrilling, especially in Sport mode. You only sacrifice 12 miles of estimated range to experience serious zip on highways and backroads. A 1,500-lb towing capacity gives you the flexibility to bring an ATV, a couple of dirt bikes, or small watercraft.

Each 2027 Equinox uses the Chevy Ride and Handling suspension, with independent front and rear designs for responsive steering, smooth driving, and overall stability. Standard 19-inch aluminum wheels and corrosion-resistant brake rotors give you excellent control. The RS trim uses 21-inch wheels with self-sealing tires, so a small puncture doesn’t slow you down.

Flexible New Charging Options

When your battery starts running dry, what do you do? There’s always a solution in the 2027 Equinox. By visiting a public DC fast-charging station, you can add 80 miles of range to your Equinox EV in 10 minutes, keeping you replenished on the go.

Furthermore, for 2027, Chevrolet switches to a standard NACS Level 3 charging port. It’s the same design that Tesla uses, giving you access to the company’s full charging network. CCS and J1772 options are still available via the Level 2 and Fast Charging Adapter Package, so all told, you can plug in at more than 250,000 stations nationwide.

Recharging at home is easy, too. A dual-level charging cord is included with plugs for either a 120-volt Level 1 or 240-volt Level 2 outlet. The optional GM Energy PowerShift home charging station boosts Level 2 charging to 19.2 kW, getting you ready for a road trip in hours instead of days.

Class-Leading Infotainment

The connectivity and infotainment in the gas-powered Equinox was already strong, but the 2027 Equinox EV rivals premium and even luxury SUVs. All models have a 17.7-inch color touchscreen and an 11-inch driver information display with easy-to-use controls. Google built-in allows all types of functions, including:

• Fire up Google Maps and navigate busy areas without screen mirroring.
• Download connected streaming apps and create personalized driver profiles.
• Give simple voice commands with advanced recognition software.

Two USB-C front data ports and two rear charging-only ports provide more ways to connect. The LT2 and RS have a wireless charging pad for convenience. A new addition is a Bose premium eight-speaker sound system upgrade option for the Equinox EV LT2 and RS, replacing the still-pleasing six-speaker system.

By adding a three-year OnStar One plan, you’ll activate the 5G Wi-Fi hotspot and much more. This on-board plan offers access to podcasts, audiobooks, in-car games, an internet browser, and even video streaming. That’s on top of OnStar’s well-known safety services, such as crash response and stolen-vehicle assistance.

A Comfortable Interior

The 2027 Equinox EV may be classified as a small SUV, but it’s never short on comfort. It has 41.7 inches of front legroom and 38 inches of rear legroom, plus lots of space for your head, shoulders, and hips. Adults can sit in both rows without difficulty, doing so on high-quality cloth or synthetic leather upholstery.

More than being roomy, Chevrolet provides impressive amenities on the go. On any trim level, you can enjoy heated front seats, automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustments. The Convenience Package on the LT2 includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror and ambient lighting.

The cargo area is similarly solid. You’ll find 26.4 cu.ft. with the rear seats up and 57.2 cu.ft. with them down, which allows for an array of suitcases, duffels, boxes, and equipment. Add-on accessories like shades and nets make organizing easier.

Safety for Miles

You’d be hard-pressed to find a safer electrified vehicle of any body style or size than the 2027 Chevy Equinox EV. It’s primed with both classic and modern safety features to protect occupants. A comprehensive seven-airbag setup with a passenger sensing system deploys upon impact, and the Teen Driver mode looks out for young pilots.

Reduce the risk of those accidents occurring with advanced driver assistance. Along with the regular Chevy Safety Assist suite, which includes systems such as enhanced automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance, all Equinox EVs have adaptive cruise control, rear parking assistance, rear cross-traffic braking, side bicyclist alerts, and more.

Higher trim levels come standard with traffic sign recognition and rear pedestrian alerts. For hands-free driving on roads from coast to coast, invest in Super Cruise, the world’s best semi-autonomous system.

Configure the Equinox EV to Your Needs

The value-focused LT1, the upscale LT2, and the athletic RS trims are just the beginning of how shoppers can personalize their 2027 Equinox EV. With the right packages, this compact SUV will be the heartbeat of your lifestyle.

• The Convenience Package II available on the LT2 and RS equips your Equinox EV with features such as ventilated front seats, a power passenger seat, a head-up display, a rear camera mirror, driver’s seat memory, and even heated windshield wipers.
• A top-tier driver assistance package adds driver attention monitoring and enhanced automatic parking assistance.
• The Active Package comes with a vertical cargo net, a cargo shelf, and molded splash guards for adventurous outings. There is also a Lifestyle Package with roof cross rails and a cargo carrier mount.
• The Blackout Package on the LT1 and LT2 accents the mirror caps, rear spoiler, nameplates, and bowtie emblems.
• The All-Weather Liner Package protects your Equinox’s carpets against rain, snow, mud, leaves, and other debris.
