Overview

A Practical, Well-Equipped Compact SUV

The Chevrolet Equinox continues into 2027 with the handsome, contemporary look it picked up in its last full redesign. This five-passenger compact SUV leans on strong standard equipment, including an 11.3-inch touchscreen, a digital gauge cluster, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking, to make a compelling value case against segment rivals.

The turbocharged four-cylinder under the hood favors smoothness and efficiency over outright quickness, and fuel economy runs a step behind class leaders like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Even so, the Equinox delivers the fundamentals buyers want in this segment at a competitive price point.

New Color Option

Autumn Harvest Metallic joins the palette, replacing the previous Cacti Green.

Simplified RS Styling

RS trims drop the Santorini Blue accent stitching for a cleaner interior look.
