How does the 2027 Equinox Compare with the 2026 Equinox?

In comparison, the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox retains all of its popular mid-size SUV styling, well-designed exterior, comfortable 5-passenger seating, and exceptional safety features built into Chevy’s most popular mid-size SUV over the previous model years. GM has made one major upgrade to the 2027 Equinox’s front-wheel drive (FWD) models by replacing the Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) with Chevy’s eight speed transmission. This 8-speed automatic transmission, standard in Equinox’s all-wheel drive (AWD) models for years, increases the towing capacity to 1,500 lbs for all 2027 Equinox models. A list of changes for the 2027 Equinox includes: 

• Autumn Harvest Metallic replaces Cacti Green exterior color
• In the RS trim, Black with Red Accents interior now has only Torch Red stitching 
• The Safety and Technology Package will be capable of having Connected Cameras
  (check availability) 
• Front Wheel Drive Equinox’s are equipped with eight speed transmission vs CVT

The 2027 Equinox continues to be built on Chevrolet's highly acclaimed fourth-generation SUV platform of excellence announced by GM in 2025. Chevy Equinox’s popularity will continue with its foundation of industry recognition and awards including: 

• Equinox was awarded America's Most Dependable Compact SUV in the J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study in 2026
• Equinox received Best of the Year award for its balance of comfort, capability, and user-friendly technology from Motorweek in 2026

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox

What is the fuel economy on the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox?

All three trims — ACTIV, LT, and RS — return the same EPA-estimated fuel economy: 26 MPG city, 29 MPG highway, and 27 MPG combined with front wheel drive. The powertrain is identical across the lineup, so there is no fuel economy trade-off between choosing the ACTIV's rugged styling or the RS's sport aesthetic. The automatic stop/start system, standard on all trims, helps trim city fuel consumption during stop-and-go driving. Opting for available All-Wheel Drive does slightly decrease the Equinox's fuel efficiency to 25 MPG city, 29 MPG highway, and 26 MPG combined.

Which Equinox trim has the highest towing capacity?

The Equinox LT, ACTIV, and RS all haves a rated towing capacity of 1,500 lbs for both front wheel drive and all wheel drive configurations in 2027, which is nearly double the 800 lbs rated in previous years on the ACTIV and LT models. All three trims can be equipped with the optional Trailering Package, which adds a dealer-installed trailer hitch receiver, exterior molding kit, and wiring provisions.
