The Equinox maintains its popularity by presenting a value-oriented range of trim packages with sought-after standard features. For 2027, Chevy has made a mechanical improvement – at least for the front-wheel-drive version – by doing away with the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in favor of the eight-speed automatic already found on the all wheel-drive Equinox. The change is intended to improve responsiveness without significantly affecting fuel economy. Beyond that change, the Connected Camera has been introduced as an option on all trims. This elective component includes security recording capability and Cabin Glance, which gives the front occupants a view of the rear seat on the infotainment display. This latest Equinox also carries forward Chevrolet’s recent trend toward more expressive paint choices: joining the palette for 2027 is Autumn Harvest Metallic, a copper-bronze color that replaces Cacti Green.
Designed for buyers seeking a more adventurous look, the ACTIV adds Evotex and sueded microfiber upholstery, an eight-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar controls, dual-zone automatic climate control, a hands-free power liftgate, and wireless device charging. Its distinctive styling elements include a trim-specific front fascia, blacked-out exterior accents, roof rails, and 17-inch machined-face aluminum wheels fitted with all-terrain tires. In inclement weather, buyers of the ACTIV will appreciate the standard Rainsense intermittent front wipers and heated wiper park.
The available upgrades at this level include the Convenience Package III, which adds heated and ventilated front seats, an eight-way power front passenger seat, heated rear outboard seats, and a driver’s-side memory system. A dual-pane power moonroof and two-toned exterior (with a white roof) are also optional.
The RS doubles down on sporty styling while retaining the same comfort and convenience features found on the ACTIV. Evotex upholstery, a wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar controls, a hands-free power liftgate, and wireless device charging are all standard. On the outside, black badging and mirrors, a wide grille opening with high-gloss accents, and 19-inch Carbon Flash machined aluminum wheels create a more aggressive appearance. Like the ACTIV, the RS can be equipped with the Convenience Package III. Buyers can also select a dual-pane power moonroof as well as a black roof for a two-toned exterior.
