Drive the Future: The All-New 2027 Chevrolet Equinox

July 14th, 2026 by

For drivers seeking a compact SUV that effortlessly adapts to changing schedules, daily highway miles, and weekend projects, the Equinox has earned its spot as a household favorite. Now, the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox takes that reputation further with bold, truck-inspired design elements and an incredible array of standard technology. Available at John Jones Chevrolet of Scottsburg, this re-engineered favorite moves away from traditional rounded crossover styling to deliver a more confident, chiseled presence on the road.

Whether you are managing the daily morning school drop-off, logging miles on Interstate 65, or heading out for a weekend at Hardy Lake, the newest Equinox provides a high-tech, connected sanctuary that fits cleanly into a real-world budget.

 

 


Mechanical Upgrades: Traditional Power Across the Board

The single biggest mechanical enhancement for the 2027 model year is a massive upgrade to the drivetrain. Chevrolet has listened closely to drivers and completely retired the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) previously found on front-wheel-drive configurations. For 2027, every single Equinox—whether Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD)—comes equipped with a crisp, traditional 8-speed automatic transmission.

Paired with a responsive 1.5L Turbocharged engine delivering 175 horsepower, this new powertrain configuration offers a much more familiar, engaging driving experience with smooth physical gear changes. Thanks to this hardware shift, FWD models now share the robust 1,500-pound maximum towing threshold with their AWD counterparts.


Tailored Options: Choose Your Ideal Trim and Style

The 2027 Equinox lineup is structured into three highly distinct models, making it easy to find a crossover that mirrors your specific lifestyle and driving habits:

  • LT Trim (The Connected Baseline): Offering standard features others charge extra for, including heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and dual high-definition digital screens.
  • RS Trim (The Dynamic Athlete): Boasting a sporty front fascia, high-gloss black exterior mirrors, distinctive emblems, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a premium black interior accented by sharp Torch Red contrast stitching.
  • ACTIV Trim (The Weekend Pioneer): Optimized for gravel roads and outdoor detours with a uniquely tuned suspension, 17-inch machined wheels wrapped in rugged all-terrain tires, and durable Evotex microfiber seating surfaces.

Expressing your personality is simple with a deep palette of exterior paints, including classic finishes like Mosaic Black Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, and Lakeshore Blue Metallic. For those looking to make a unique statement, the new Autumn Harvest Metallic makes its debut for 2027. Both the RS and ACTIV trims also offer eye-catching dual-tone contrast roof options in Black or Summit White.


Step Into a Screen-Forward Cabin

Inside the 2027 Equinox, you are greeted by an ultra-modern cockpit anchored by a digital display array that redefines what a value-focused crossover interior should look like:

Standard Technology Feature Everyday Driver Convenience
11.3-Inch Color Touchscreen A massive center-mounted display featuring seamless, standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
11-Inch Driver Info Center A fully customizable digital gauge cluster positioned right behind the steering wheel for crystal-clear navigation and speed alerts.
Google Built-In Compatibility Enjoy live, native navigation through Google Maps and effortless voice controls via Google Assistant without plugging in your mobile device.
Electronic Precision Shift A column-mounted gear selector that opens up the lower center console for deep, highly practical storage space.

Cargo and Adaptability: The 2027 Equinox offers 29.8 cubic feet of rear trunk room for grocery hauls, sporting gear, or luggage. Need to haul larger items? Fold the second-row seating completely flat to unlock a massive 63.5 cubic feet of total storage capacity.


All-Around Protection: Standard Chevy Safety Assist

Peace of mind shouldn’t require an upgrade. Every single 2027 model comes equipped with Chevy Safety Assist, a high-tech package packed with over 15 standard driver-assistance and safety features to watch out for you and your passengers:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking: Automatically applies structural braking force to prevent or reduce the severity of a forward collision.
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning: Provides subtle, helpful wheel nudges to guide you safely back if you begin drifting past highway lines without a signal.
  • Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: Scans the path directly ahead at typical street speeds to actively safeguard pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Forward Collision Alert: Keeps watch on vehicles directly ahead and alerts you instantly to sudden stops.
