2027 Chevrolet Equinox
Three distinct styles for Windsor-Essex drivers
In Windsor-Essex, a compact SUV handles everything from E.C. Row Expressway commutes to weekend drives through the county’s farm country. The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox covers that range with a choice of three distinct personalities. The LT keeps things clean and practical, the ACTIV leans toward outdoor use with all-terrain tires, and the RS brings darker, sport-themed styling with larger wheels. Underneath, all three share a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, which is standard on every Equinox sold in Canada. This model year continues the current generation that Chevrolet introduced for 2025, carrying over its design and interior. Every trim includes an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless smartphone integration and Chevrolet Safety Assist. Five seats and up to 1,798 litres of cargo space round out the package. Premier Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC has the 2027 Equinox available now.
Powertrain
Turbo Gasoline Engine
Rated fuel consumption for the 2027 Equinox is 9.6 L/100 km in the city and 8.1 L/100 km on the highway, from a 59-litre tank. Those numbers come from a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, using direct injection, variable valve timing and dual overhead cams. An 8-speed automatic transmission manages the gears. Automatic Stop/Start shuts the engine off during complete stops under certain conditions and restarts it as you lift off the brake. For regular trips up Highway 401 toward Chatham or London, the highway figure is the one to compare.
AWD & Chassis
All-wheel drive is standard on every trim in Canada. The system constantly monitors the four wheels and adjusts to help maintain traction in rain, sleet and snow. A Drive Mode Selector lets the driver choose how the Equinox responds to the conditions at hand, and Automatic Vehicle Hold keeps it stationary at a stop after you release the brake pedal. The suspension uses MacPherson struts in front and a 4-link rear design. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes are standard, and the gross vehicle weight rating is 2,200 kg (4,850 lb).
Technology
The 11.3-inch display uses Google built-in for voice recognition, navigation capability and connected apps, and it stores a profile for each driver. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect compatible phones without a cable. Other standard features include 5G vehicle connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot capability with a data plan, a 6-speaker audio system, Active Noise Cancellation and SiriusXM with 360L on a trial subscription. The ACTIV and RS add wireless phone charging and a Universal Home Remote that can operate compatible garage door openers. Remote Start lets you cool the cabin before you get in.
Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a detected cross-traffic vehicle, and it is standard on every trim. Chevrolet Safety Assist adds Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, a Following Distance Indicator, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and IntelliBeam. Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking and the Safety Alert Seat are also standard. HD Surround Vision and Traffic Sign Recognition are available through the Safety and Technology Package.
Exterior
Each Equinox trim wears its own front end. The RS has a wide grille opening, a high-gloss finish on the grille bar and lower fascia, and standard high-gloss black mirror caps; an available Mosaic Black Metallic roof adds a two-tone look. The ACTIV gets vertical grille inserts, metallic-finish accents and its own fascia, while the LT comes with chrome trim or the optional Midnight Edition with a black grille and black badging. All three share the same broad-shouldered profile, with squared wheel openings and a shark-fin design on the C-pillar that echoes the larger Traverse.
The Equinox measures 4,653 mm in length, 1,902 mm in width and 1,666 mm in height, riding on a 2,730 mm wheelbase. The RS starts with 19-inch Carbon Flash metallic machined-face wheels on 235/55R19 all-season tires, and 20-inch black machined-face wheels with 235/50R20 tires are available. The ACTIV and LT use 17-inch wheels. LED headlamps and LED tail lamps with walk-up and exit animation are standard. Front fog lamps are available through the Safety and Technology Package, and wheel locks are offered to help protect the wheels. Front and rear splash guards are also available.
Interior
The RS cabin uses Evotex seating with an available Black with Red Accents colour scheme and a wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel that is heated. The ACTIV uses sueded microfibre seats with an available Maple Sugar colour, and the LT starts with cloth and offers Evotex in Artemis Grey or Black. Ahead of the driver, an 11-inch driver information centre sits beside an 11.3-inch touchscreen angled toward the driver’s seat. A steering-column gear selector clears space for storage below the screen, and dual-zone automatic climate control with a cabin humidity sensor is standard on the ACTIV and RS.
On hot, humid days around Windsor, the available ventilated driver and front passenger seats offer three levels of fan circulation. They come with Convenience Package III on the ACTIV and RS, along with heated rear outboard seats, driver memory and an 8-way power passenger seat. Five people fit inside, with 1,039 mm of front legroom and 1,013 mm in the second row. The cargo area holds 844 litres behind the rear seats and 1,798 litres with the 60/40 split seats folded, and there is extra hidden storage under the cargo floor.
