Mills Chevrolet - Smarter cabin tech for Bettendorf, IA — 2027 Chevrolet Equinox infotainment and safety that make every mile enjoyable
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox brings together a large, easy-to-use 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with connected features you’ll actually use every day around Bettendorf, IA. You get Google built-in for intuitive navigation and voice assistance, plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility to keep your apps and messages close at hand. Pair that with over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, and you have a compact SUV that’s built to take the hassle out of commuting, errand-running, and family logistics.
Why the 11.3-inch diagonal screen matters for real life
Screen size is more than a number. The 11.3-inch diagonal display on the 2027 Equinox helps you see maps, camera views, and media with less squinting and fewer taps. The layout is crisp and modern, and it’s responsive to the touch. That’s helpful when you’re calling out turn-by-turn directions along Middle Road or toggling between a podcast and navigation right before you merge. The larger interface also makes it easier to use voice commands—so you can keep your hands on the wheel and your attention on the traffic around you.
Google built-in takes the convenience even further. With Google Assistant, you can set reminders, send messages, place calls, adjust climate settings, or queue up music just by asking. And because Google Maps is built in, lane guidance, alternate routes, and business info show up fast. The big display means more info fits without feeling crowded, which makes a difference in the moments that count—like a quick lane change or an unexpected detour through neighborhood streets near Veterans Memorial Park.
Connectivity that keeps your day moving
The 2027 Equinox offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, so your favorite apps are ready the moment you get in. Your home screen feels familiar—no learning curve needed. Available wireless phone charging clears your console of extra cables, and Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity keep everything streamlined. When you’re in a rush to pick up dinner or get to a practice, these little touches add up to a more relaxed drive.
OnStar connectivity available on the Equinox helps bring an additional layer of support. From turn-by-turn assistance to help during unexpected situations, connected services are designed to make your daily routine easier and give you more confidence on every route. It’s modern tech done in a way that doesn’t overwhelm—everything feels accessible, not complicated.
Safety tech that works in the background—until you need it
Chevy Safety Assist brings a robust list of standard features you’ll appreciate, whether you’re navigating school zones or cruising across the I-74 bridge. Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert help watch the road ahead. Front Pedestrian Braking is designed to respond to pedestrians that may cross in front of you. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning lends a hand if you begin to drift, and Following Distance Indicator helps you maintain a safe gap.
Helpful visibility add-ons are available, too. HD Surround Vision can provide a composite overhead view when maneuvering into tight spots, and an available Rear Camera Mirror uses a camera feed to widen your rearward field of view—useful when the cargo area is stacked with backpacks, sports gear, or weekend supplies. Rear Cross Traffic Braking can assist when you’re backing out of a crowded lot, and Side Bicyclist Alert can help detect side bicyclists in certain situations. Together, these features reduce the stress of frequent stops and starts along busy neighborhood roads or commercial areas.
Trims that match how you like to drive
The LT sets a strong baseline with the 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, the 1.5L Turbo engine, and heated front seats and heated steering wheel. If you want a bolder look, the RS adds street-smart styling with black mirrors, moldings, emblems, and badging, plus a flat-bottom steering wheel and standard 19-inch wheels with available 20-inch machined wheels. The ACTIV takes on an adventure-oriented personality with all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating—ideal if weekend drives include gravel paths or scenic routes. No matter your pick, the tech foundation remains consistent and easy to use.
