At Raymond Chevrolet, we are excited to welcome the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox to our new vehicle lineup and help local drivers find the model and trim that fits their lifestyle.
What Is New for the 2027 Chevy Equinox?
The Equinox continues into the 2027 model year with the formula that has made it a popular Chevrolet SUV: practical dimensions, versatile cargo space, modern technology and available all-wheel drive.
Chevrolet describes the new Equinox as a vehicle made to do more, with an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, available AWD and more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features.
The 2027 Equinox is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine and features a standard Drive Mode Selector. Available all-wheel drive gives drivers another option when they want additional traction for changing road conditions.
For shoppers who want to customize the look and feel of their SUV, Chevrolet offers three primary Equinox trims: LT, RS and ACTIV. Each one has its own personality and feature set.
2027 Chevy Equinox Trim Levels
One of the biggest questions shoppers have when researching the new Equinox is: Which 2027 Chevy Equinox trim is right for me?
The answer depends on what you want from your SUV. The LT focuses on versatility, the RS brings a sportier appearance and the ACTIV is designed with a more adventurous personality.
2027 Chevy Equinox LT
The 2027 Equinox LT is a great starting point for shoppers who want a versatile SUV with plenty of technology and comfort features.
The LT includes the 1.5L turbo engine and an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are also included, while available HD Surround Vision can provide additional visibility when maneuvering.
The LT makes sense for drivers who prioritize everyday comfort, practicality and value.
2027 Chevy Equinox RS
The 2027 Equinox RS takes a sportier approach. Black exterior mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging help distinguish the RS from other Equinox models. Chevrolet also equips the RS with standard 19-inch wheels, with available 20-inch machined wheels.
Inside, the RS features a flat-bottom steering wheel, adding to its sport-inspired personality. An available two-tone black roof can further customize the exterior appearance.
If you want a new Equinox that stands out from the crowd, the RS could be the trim to consider.
2027 Chevy Equinox ACTIV
For drivers who prefer a more rugged look, the 2027 Equinox ACTIV is designed with adventure in mind.
The ACTIV features all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension, along with Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces. Chevrolet also offers an available two-tone white roof for an additional visual distinction.
The ACTIV is an especially interesting choice for drivers who want their compact SUV to have a more outdoors-oriented appearance and feel.
2027 Equinox Technology
Technology is one of the highlights of the new Equinox. At the center of the cabin is an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, giving drivers a large, easy-to-access display for entertainment, apps and vehicle information.
Depending on the configuration, Equinox shoppers can also find features designed to make everyday driving more convenient and comfortable.
Available technology and comfort features include:
- 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen
- Heated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Wireless smartphone connectivity
- Available HD Surround Vision
- Available premium audio
- Available two-tone exterior designs
- Available power liftgate
- Available panoramic sunroof
With these features, the 2027 Equinox provides the technology many drivers expect from a modern SUV without requiring shoppers to move into a larger vehicle.
2027 Chevy Equinox Safety Features
Chevrolet also puts an emphasis on standard driver assistance technology in the 2027 Equinox. The new SUV includes more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features, helping provide additional awareness during everyday driving.
Depending on the model and equipment, Equinox shoppers can have access to technologies designed to assist with situations such as forward collisions, lane departure, pedestrian detection and parking.
Available safety and driver-assistance technology can include:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam automatic high beams

It’s important to remember that specific features can vary by trim and configuration, so shoppers should review the equipment included on the individual Equinox they are considering.
Is All-Wheel Drive Available on the 2027 Equinox?
Yes. All-wheel drive is available on the 2027 Chevy Equinox.
For drivers in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, available AWD can be an attractive option. Snow, rain and changing road conditions are simply part of driving throughout the Midwest, and AWD gives Equinox shoppers another way to configure their SUV around their driving needs.
If you regularly commute through Antioch, Lake County, Gurnee, Waukegan or surrounding communities, you can talk with the team at Raymond Chevrolet about whether an AWD Equinox makes sense for you.
How Much Does the 2027 Chevy Equinox Cost?
The starting price of the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox varies by trim and configuration. Chevrolet currently lists the Equinox LT with a starting MSRP of $29,000, while the RS and ACTIV start at $33,900. Actual pricing can vary based on equipment, destination charges, options and other factors.
Because vehicle pricing and incentives can change, shoppers should check current inventory and offers before making a purchase decision.

Which 2027 Equinox Trim Should You Choose?
With three different trims, the best 2027 Equinox depends on what you want from your next SUV.
Choose the Equinox LT if:
You want a well-equipped SUV focused on everyday versatility, comfort and value.
Choose the Equinox RS if:
You want sportier exterior styling, larger wheels and distinctive RS design elements.
Choose the Equinox ACTIV if:
You prefer a more rugged appearance, all-terrain tires and a suspension tuned with adventure in mind.
The good news is that there is no single “best” Equinox for everyone. The three trims allow shoppers to choose the personality and equipment that best match their lifestyle.
Why Consider the 2027 Chevy Equinox?
The Equinox occupies an appealing position in the Chevrolet SUV lineup. It provides the passenger and cargo versatility shoppers want from an SUV while remaining practical enough for everyday driving.
For many drivers, the Equinox can serve as a single vehicle for commuting during the week, running errands around town, transporting passengers and taking weekend trips.
