Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox

11.3" Diagonal Infotainment Touchscreen

Front and center inside Equinox is a personalized 11.3" diagonal infotainment touchscreen that streamlines your day. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, you can mirror key apps for navigation, music, and messages. Google built-in adds a natural voice interface to set destinations, control audio, and access helpful apps, while OnStar connectivity enhances the experience with connected services and the myChevrolet app support. The large, responsive display makes it easy to glance and go, minimizing distraction while maximizing functionality. Convenient features like available wireless phone charging help keep your device powered on the move, and available Wi-Fi connectivity can support multiple passengers who want to stream or work on the go. It’s a cohesive digital experience that feels modern without being complicated — ideal for quick commutes, longer weekend drives, and everything in between.

1.5L Turbo Engine

The standard 1.5L Turbo engine in Equinox is engineered for versatile performance that suits everyday life. With 175 hp and 203 lb.-ft. of torque, it provides the right blend of smooth acceleration for merging onto I-80, easy passing on rural two-lane roads, and relaxed cruising around town. The turbocharged design helps deliver power efficiently, so you get responsive performance without feeling like you’re overworking the engine. Paired with smart transmission tuning, the 1.5L Turbo helps Equinox strike a balance between confident drivability and calm refinement. Whether you are navigating frequent stop-and-go traffic near shopping corridors or settling into steady-state highway speeds for a trip to visit friends in surrounding communities, the engine’s broad, usable torque curve keeps the drive comfortable and controlled.

Drive Mode Selector

Equinox comes with a standard Drive Mode Selector so you can adapt to changing conditions with a quick turn. This intuitive control lets you fine-tune throttle response and vehicle dynamics to match the task at hand. Heading out before sunrise for work? Choose the mode that optimizes response for smooth progress. Encountering wet or uneven pavement on rural connectors? Select the setting that helps balance traction and stability. The ability to adjust on demand adds confidence and makes the most of the Equinox’s well-tuned chassis. When paired with available all-wheel drive, the Drive Mode Selector becomes an even more powerful tool to help you stay composed and secure across a wider range of surfaces, from freshly paved boulevards to less predictable back roads.

Available All-Wheel Drive

For added confidence when conditions vary, available all-wheel drive is your traction-on-demand partner. The system can help enhance grip as surface conditions change, channeling power to where it’s most beneficial. That means you can feel more secure when pulling away from a stop on damp pavement, navigating gravel shoulders along county routes, or setting off for a quick weekend escape even when the weather looks uncertain. Paired with the 1.5L Turbo engine, AWD contributes to a reassuring sense of control while preserving the Equinox’s composed ride quality. If your plans include trailering, Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs. when properly equipped, so you can bring along a small utility trailer or recreational gear with the extra stability AWD provides.

Chevy Safety Assist

Safety starts with Chevy Safety Assist — a suite of six advanced features that comes standard: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Beyond these, Equinox offers additional available driver assistance technologies that expand your awareness and support. Available HD Surround Vision can help you park and maneuver with a bird’s-eye-style view, while an available Rear Camera Mirror and available Rear Cross Traffic Braking assist in backing situations. Available Side Bicyclist Alert adds helpful detection at the margins. Together, these technologies work with your attentive driving habits to provide layered confidence every time you set out. Features are driver aids, not substitutes — and that’s exactly how Equinox implements them, helping you stay focused and informed.
