What Power and Performance Capabilities Does the 2027 Equinox Have?

Here’s the headline for the 2027 Chevy Equinox transmission: the CVT is out.

Chevrolet confirmed to Motor1 that front-wheel-drive models will say goodbye to the continuously variable automatic transmission and switch to a traditional eight-speed automatic. All-wheel-drive models will continue to sport the eight-speed transmission, so if you’ve been waiting for a smoother, more conventional-feeling shift, this is your moment.

Power comes from the familiar 1.5-liter Turbo engine, which makes 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. The standard Drive Mode Selector helps you adjust to changing road conditions, and all-wheel drive is available when you want extra traction.

When properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs. If you opt for front-wheel drive, towing capacity drops down to 800 pounds.

What are the 2027 Chevy Equinox Paint Changes?

We’ve got good news for anyone who loves a fresh paint job: the 2027 Equinox paint changes include a brand-new shade called Autumn Harvest Metallic, replacing the popular Cacti Green exterior color. Exclusive to the LT and ACTIV models, it’s a warm, seasonal hue that should look right at home on drives to check out the fall leaves and in Saturday soccer-game parking lots.

Two-tone roofs remain available for a contrasting look, with black or white options depending on the model.

The complete lineup of 2027 Equinox colors includes:

  • Summit White
  • Sterling Gray Metallic
  • Mosaic Black Metallic
  • Lakeshore Blue Metallic
  • Radiant Red Tintcoat
  • Autumn Harvest Metallic
  • Reef Blue Metallic
  • Polar White Tricoat

What Does the 2027 Equinox Look Like?

If you’re wondering what the 2027 Equinox looks like, picture a confident, compact SUV with a distinctive grille, sculpted taillamps, and a planted stance.

Each model gets its own grille and front fascia, and all-LED lighting is split in the front and expanded in the back for a sleek nighttime signature.

If you’re having trouble deciding between models, each trim has its own personality.

The 2027 Chevy Equinox LT blends style with everyday versatility, giving you a strong base in comfort, power, and appearance.

The 2027 Equinox RS is the head-turner, with black mirrors, moldings, emblems, and badging. Standard 19-inch wheels and an available two-tone black roof make this trim unmistakable.

For those who want an adventure-ready companion, consider the 2027 Chevy Equinox ACTIV trim. Outfitted with all-terrain tires, uniquely tuned suspension, and an available two-tone white roof, the ACTIV lives up to its namesake.

At just over 15 feet long (183.2 in) and seating for up to five, this SUV is easy to park and comfortable for everyone inside.

What Tech Comes Standard Inside the New Chevy Equinox for 2027?

The star of the cabin is the 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with OnStar connectivity and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Google built-in and voice commands keep your maps, music, and messages close without taking your eyes off the road, and Wi-Fi hotspot access ensures you stay connected to the world around you.

The Equinox also features an 11-inch digital gauge cluster and a standard six-speaker audio system, along with USB ports throughout the cabin.

New for 2027 is an available interior camera for cabin glance and security recordings, letting you know what’s happening inside your vehicle while you stay focused on the road ahead.

On the safety side, the Equinox comes with more than 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, including Chevy Safety Assist, a package of six features that includes:

  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Front pedestrian braking
  • Lane keep assist with lane departure warning
  • Forward collision alert
  • Following distance indicator
  • IntelliBeam
