For Minnesota drivers looking for an everyday SUV with available all-wheel drive, flexible cargo space, modern technology, and seating for five, the 2027 Equinox remains one of Chevrolet’s key compact SUV choices. Chevrolet
Here’s a closer look at what Chevrolet has announced for the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox.
What’s New on the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox?
One of the most noticeable additions for 2027 is a new exterior color called Autumn Harvest Metallic, available exclusively on Equinox LT and ACTIV models.Chevrolet has also added an available Interior Camera for 2027. The system can provide a cabin-view function and support interior security recording capability. Chevrolet
Those changes build on the current Equinox design rather than completely reinventing the SUV again for 2027.
Three Equinox Trims
The gas-powered 2027 Equinox continues with three main trims:- LT
- RS
- ACTIV
Equinox LT
The LT serves as the entry point to the lineup and includes features such as:- 1.5L turbocharged engine
- Heated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen
- Available HD Surround Vision
Equinox RS
The RS takes the Equinox in a sportier direction.Features include:
- Black exterior accents
- Black mirrors and badging
- Standard 19-inch wheels
- Available 20-inch wheels
- Flat-bottom steering wheel
- Available contrasting Black roof
Equinox ACTIV
The ACTIV is designed for drivers who prefer a more rugged appearance and additional capability.Features include:
- All-terrain tires
- Uniquely tuned suspension
- Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces
- Available contrasting white roof
1.5L Turbo Engine
The 2027 Equinox uses a 1.5L turbocharged engine producing:- 175 horsepower
- 203 lb.-ft. of torque
For Minnesota driving, the availability of AWD will naturally be worth considering for drivers who routinely encounter snow-covered roads, rural highways, and changing winter conditions.
Available All-Wheel Drive
Available AWD gives Equinox drivers another option when traction conditions change.That can be particularly appealing in Minnesota, where fall rain has an unfortunate habit of becoming frost, followed by snow, followed by everyone suddenly remembering they meant to check their tires.
AWD does not replace appropriate tires or careful winter driving, but it can provide additional traction when conditions become slippery.
11.3-Inch Infotainment Touchscreen
Technology remains a major part of the Equinox interior.Every 2027 Equinox includes an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with connectivity features that include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
An 11-inch Driver Information Center also gives the driver a configurable digital display directly ahead of the steering wheel. Chevrolet
Available technology includes:
- Wireless phone charging
- HD Surround Vision
- Interior Camera
- Additional connected services
New Interior Camera for 2027
The available Interior Camera is one of the more interesting technology additions for the 2027 model year.Chevrolet says the feature supports Cabin Glance, allowing the driver to view the interior cabin, and can also support security recordings inside the vehicle. Chevrolet
For families carrying children, pets or cargo in the rear seats, the ability to quickly view the cabin could be particularly useful.
More Than 15 Standard Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Chevrolet says the 2027 Equinox includes more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features. ChevroletAvailable and standard technologies include features designed to assist with situations around the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle.
Driver-assistance technology is designed to support attentive driving rather than replace it, and feature performance may be affected by road, weather, and visibility conditions.
New Autumn Harvest Metallic
Possibly the most seasonally appropriate Chevrolet color ever named arrives for 2027.Autumn Harvest Metallic is new for the 2027 Equinox and is offered on the LT and ACTIV trims. Chevrolet
Given that we are publishing this during Minnesota fall, I would absolutely use an official GM DAM image showing an Equinox in Autumn Harvest Metallic if we have one cleared for dealer web use.
That is practically begging to become the featured image.
Cargo Space and Everyday Practicality
Chevrolet lists up to 63.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume for the 2027 Equinox.It seats up to five passengers while providing flexible storage solutions for everyday commuting, shopping, family trips, and weekend travel. Chevrolet
That puts the Equinox in a useful middle ground for drivers who want more room than a small crossover without stepping into a larger three-row SUV such as the Traverse.
2027 Equinox vs. Equinox EV
One thing worth clarifying for shoppers is that Chevrolet now offers two very different vehicles carrying the Equinox name.The 2027 Equinox covered here uses a gasoline-powered 1.5L turbo engine.
The 2027 Equinox EV is a separate fully electric SUV with its own platform, styling, specifications, and trim structure. Chevrolet currently lists the Equinox EV with up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range on front-wheel-drive models. Chevrolet
We should make the Equinox EV its own blog rather than cramming two entirely different vehicles into this article and hoping Google enjoys the scavenger hunt.
Is the 2027 Equinox a Good Fit for Minnesota Drivers?
The combination of available AWD, five-passenger seating, flexible cargo space, heated features, and compact SUV dimensions makes the Equinox particularly relevant for Minnesota drivers.The LT provides the more value-focused configuration, while RS emphasizes sporty styling and ACTIV offers a more rugged personality.
Which version makes the most sense depends on how and where the vehicle will be driven.
