Drivers who are looking for a versatile compact SUV are sure to love the 2027 Chevy Equinox. Still in its fourth generation, this popular model has a standard transmission for 2027, delivering excellent performance across all configurations. This is all part of Chevy’s commitment to providing you with a compact SUV that has everything you could want in this type of model.
Chevy introduced the Equinox during the 2005 model year, adding a vehicle to its expanding SUV lineup that offers a wide range of capabilities to many different types of drivers. Commuters will love having a safe and fuel-efficient model for getting to school or work. Young families will appreciate the roominess of the Equinox, while older drivers will enjoy having a vehicle that is easy to drive.
Most of all, the incredible array of safety and entertainment technology on the 2027 Equinox is something that all drivers will love about this model. So, let’s explore it!
Performance
Engine
Every 2027 Chevy Equinox has a 1.5-liter turbocharged I-4 gas engine. It uses a turbocharger to boost performance without increasing engine size, and it uses direct fuel injection to provide 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque.
It has variable valve timing to deliver efficient performance by closing the valves at lower speeds, helping save gasoline. The 2027 Equinox’s automatic stop/start feature will also help improve fuel efficiency by turning off the engine at red lights and in traffic, then automatically restarting it when you take your foot off the brake pedal.
Transmission
Chevy has made a major powertrain change for the 2027 Equinox. Where prior iterations had an eight-speed automatic transmission on models with all-wheel drive, and those with front-wheel drive featured a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the 2027 Equinox has a standard eight-speed transmission on all configurations. This means that you get the same exceptional performance no matter which drivetrain you choose on your Equinox.
Fuel Efficiency
One of the things that has attracted drivers to the Equinox throughout its four generations is its impressive fuel efficiency. This is why the Equinox has been popular with so many different types of drivers. No matter your needs, when you drive an Equinox, you will get the kind of fuel economy to help you save money on your daily drive.
The 2027 Equinox offers the kind of fuel efficiency folks are looking for in a compact SUV. Chevy gives the option of front-wheel or all-wheel drive for all three trims of the latest Equinox, letting you decide between the improved fuel efficiency of front-wheel drive and the added traction of all-wheel drive.
If you opt for an Equinox with front-wheel drive, you will get up to 27 MPG combined, while all-wheel drive gives you 26 MPG combined. The key difference is in city driving, as both drivetrains provide up to 29 MPG on the highway. Either way, you get a fuel-efficient model that will help you save money on your daily drive.
Acceleration
While the 2027 Chevy Equinox won’t win many races, it still provides you with the kind of performance you need to get around. This is especially important for folks who commute to school or work and need a vehicle they can rely on to merge safely onto a busy highway.
The 2027 Equinox will get you from zero to 60 mph in just 8.6 seconds. This is sufficient acceleration to be able to get up to speed when getting onto the road to or from work. The Equinox has a top speed of 125 mph, but you probably won’t need to go over the speed limit to get where you need to go.
Interior
One thing drivers always look for in a compact SUV is interior space. Whether you use your vehicle for your family, are a retiree who wants room for the grandkids, or are single but love to shop, you will want a vehicle with the space to meet all your needs. Fortunately, the 2027 Chevy Equinox delivers a surprising amount of interior space without sacrificing maneuverability, and it offers a flexible cargo area.
Cabin Space
There is plenty of room for you and your friends or family in the 2027 Equinox. In fact, no matter which trim you choose, you will get an impressive 104.3 cubic feet of passenger space inside this SUV. That is plenty of room for all five passengers to stretch out and feel comfortable.
Chevy has done a great job dividing the space between the first and second rows of seats in the Equinox. While many other compact SUVs do not offer enough space for the three passengers in the back, the Equinox provides nearly the same amount of headroom and legroom across its two rows. Passengers seated in front get 40 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom, while those in back will appreciate 39.2 inches of headroom and 39.9 inches of legroom.
The Equinox has an impressive selection of seat fabrics across its three trims. The entry-level LT has cloth seats, while the sporty RS has Evotex upholstery. Meanwhile, the ACTIV trim has sueded microfiber. No matter which trim you choose, you get heated seats in the front row of the 2027 Equinox; these will come in handy during the cold months.
Cargo Space
The 2027 Equinox has an impressive amount of cargo space to go along with its generous passenger space. When you open the liftgate of the Equinox, you will be greeted by 29.8 cubic feet of space for your belongings. This is plenty of space for suitcases on a road trip or for bags following a visit to the mall.
If you need more space, you can easily fold down the rear row of seats on the Equinox. This will give you a total of 63.5 cubic feet of cargo space. This much room will come in handy when you need to move large objects. It also provides the space you need for your supplies when you undertake your next DIY home improvement project.
Technology
The 2027 Chevy Equinox is the most technologically advanced iteration in this model’s history. Chevy has equipped the Equinox with a range of standard driver assistance and infotainment features to keep you and your passengers safe, connected, and entertained wherever you go.
Safety Features
Chevrolet has built its reputation in part on its commitment to passenger safety. The brand has helped create a number of innovations to make its vehicles safer, and it starts with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of six advanced driver assistance features. These come standard on every trim of the 2027 Equinox.
If you are getting too close to the vehicle in front of you, the Following Distance Indicator will let you know and suggest you provide a greater stopping distance. If the vehicle in front of you slows down or suddenly stops, the Forward Collision Alert will sound so you can take evasive action. At the same time, Automatic Emergency Braking will engage, bringing your Equinox to a safe stop (or mitigating the damage if a collision is unavoidable).
The Equinox also has Front Pedestrian Braking, which works in a similar fashion, helping you avoid colliding with a pedestrian or cyclist. This SUV also has IntelliBeam auto high beams, which will automatically turn on when you enter an area of low light, so you can focus on your driving. Meanwhile, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure will keep your Equinox centered if you begin to drift out of your lane.
Chevy goes beyond these six standard features on the 2027 Equinox. In fact, the model has over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, such as Blind Zone Steering Assist. One of the most common causes of highway accidents occurs during lane changes; sometimes, you can’t see another vehicle traveling in an adjacent lane until it is too late. Blind Zone Steering Assist helps you avoid a collision by alerting you to another vehicle in the adjacent lane when you signal to change lanes.
Infotainment Features
The 2027 Chevy Equinox has one of the largest and most advanced infotainment systems on any compact SUV. This 11.3-inch touchscreen makes it easy to access your favorite apps. It also improves your ability to view maps while following directions to a new destination.
All you need to do to get connected is pair your smartphone to the system using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This means you can use the system even if you left your charging cables at home. Once connected, you can make hands-free calls and texts. You can also stream your favorite music over the six-speaker audio system.
The ACTIV and RS trims have a wireless charging pad that is also an available feature on the LT. This will help you keep your smartphone charged while traveling. There are also plenty of USB charging ports in this model for other devices to use.
The 2027 Equinox has Google built-in, which lets you access your favorite apps. It also allows you to personalize the profiles for each person in your household who will be driving your Equinox. This is the kind of technology that every driver is sure to love.
