2027 Chevrolet Equinox
What’s new on the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox?
Getting around Saskatoon means plenty of Circle Drive, river crossings and short trips that add up over a week. The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is a compact SUV with five seats, standard all-wheel drive and a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and it covers that kind of driving without much fuss. For 2027 it carries over the current generation, which Chevrolet launched with the 2025 model year, so the exterior, cabin and equipment remain familiar. The lineup has three trims. The LT is the entry point, the ACTIV adds all-terrain tires and outdoor styling, and the RS brings a sportier appearance with 19-inch wheels. All of them use an 8-speed automatic transmission and include Remote Start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in. Coverage includes a 5-year/100,000 km powertrain warranty. Saskatoon Motor Products Chevrolet has the 2027 Equinox in stock and ready for a test drive.
Powertrain
Turbo Gasoline Engine
The 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine uses a dual overhead cam design with direct injection and variable valve timing. It produces 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers that output to all four wheels. The Equinox is rated at 9.6 L/100 km in city driving and 8.1 L/100 km on the highway, and its fuel tank holds 59 litres. Automatic Stop/Start turns the engine off at full stops under certain conditions, which can help at the long lights on 8th Street East. The engine is E15 fuel capable.
All-Wheel Drive and Protection
All-wheel drive comes standard on all trims in Canada and watches all four wheels to adjust traction in rain, sleet and snow. The Drive Mode Selector changes how the Equinox responds to the conditions, and an available engine block heater with a cold air grille shutter helps on frigid starts. Automatic Vehicle Hold keeps the vehicle stopped without pressure on the brake pedal. Chevrolet backs the Equinox with a 3-year/60,000 km basic warranty, a 5-year/100,000 km powertrain warranty, 5-year/100,000 km Roadside Assistance and 6-year/160,000 km rust-through corrosion protection.
Technology
Google built-in gives the 11.3-inch touchscreen voice recognition, navigation capability, connected apps and a saved profile for each driver. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard for compatible phones. OnStar Basics provides up to 8 years of core OnStar services, including mobile app commands and Automatic Crash Response, and vehicle health management gives advance warning of potential issues. The Equinox also has 5G vehicle connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot capability with a data plan, Keyless Open and Start and a 6-speaker audio system with Active Noise Cancellation. Wireless charging is standard on the ACTIV and RS.
Forward Collision Alert warns of a possible collision with a vehicle ahead and can give a tailgating alert, and the Following Distance Indicator shows your gap. Both belong to the standard Chevrolet Safety Assist suite, which also includes Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and IntelliBeam. Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Park Assist and Reverse Automatic Braking come standard as well. The available Safety and Technology Package adds HD Surround Vision, Traffic Sign Recognition and a Rear Camera Mirror with washer.
Exterior
Lighting is a strong point, and every 2027 Equinox has LED headlamps and LED tail lamps. The headlamps turn on and off automatically, play a walk-up and exit animation, and use sequential turn signals, while IntelliBeam handles high-beam switching on unlit roads. The body itself follows the design language of Chevrolet’s trucks: wide shoulders, squared wheel openings, firm fender lines and a shark-fin shape on the C-pillar. Each trim has a different front fascia, giving the LT, ACTIV and RS their own look from the same basic shape.
Trim choice also sets the wheels. The LT rides on 17-inch Grazen metallic machined-face aluminum wheels with all-season tires, and the ACTIV pairs 17-inch Dark Android machined-face wheels with all-terrain tires. The RS steps up to 19-inch Carbon Flash wheels, with 20-inch black machined-face wheels on the option list. Overall length is 4,653 mm and the wheelbase is 2,730 mm, with a width of 1,902 mm and a height of 1,666 mm. Active grille shutters, a hidden turned-down exhaust and heated power mirrors with manual folding are standard on all trims.
Interior
The dashboard layout places an 11-inch configurable driver information centre in front of the driver and an 11.3-inch infotainment screen beside it, angled slightly inward. Shifting is handled by an electronic selector on the steering column, which makes room for a storage space ahead of the centre console. Chevrolet used coordinated textures on the seats, doors and instrument panel. The heated front seats have three settings, and the heated steering wheel turns on with a button on the wheel. On the ACTIV and RS, an 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard.
The second row splits 60/40 and folds to turn 844 litres of cargo space into 1,798 litres. Rear passengers have 1,013 mm of legroom, 996 mm of headroom and 1,313 mm of hip room, and the front row offers 1,039 mm of legroom and 1,377 mm of hip room. A hidden compartment sits beneath the cargo floor, and a 12-volt outlet is mounted in the cargo area. Available accessories include an integrated cargo liner, cargo nets and a retractable cargo shade. A rear window defogger and rear centre armrest with two cupholders are standard.
