The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox continues to hit one of the most useful sweet spots in Chevrolet’s SUV lineup. It is compact enough to feel easy to live with every day, yet spacious enough for passengers, groceries, luggage, road trips, and the kind of weekend gear that quickly fills a smaller crossover.

For drivers shopping for a new SUV in Kingman, Arizona, the Equinox also brings together several features that make sense for life in Western Arizona: an efficient turbocharged engine, available all-wheel drive, generous cargo space, modern connectivity, and an extensive collection of standard safety and driver-assistance technology.

For 2027, Chevrolet keeps the Equinox lineup centered around the LT, RS, and ACTIV, while adding a few fresh details and available technologies. Here is a closer look at what the 2027 Chevy Equinox offers and why it deserves consideration at Anderson Chevrolet in Kingman, Arizona.

What Is New on the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox?

The current-generation Equinox already introduced a much more distinctive design, updated interior, and expanded technology, so Chevrolet has not needed to reinvent the SUV again for 2027. Instead, this model year builds on that foundation with several noteworthy updates.

One of the most interesting additions is an available Interior Camera. New for 2027, the system can provide an interior cabin view and support security recordings inside the vehicle.

Chevrolet has also added Autumn Harvest Metallic to the exterior color palette for 2027. The new color is offered on the Equinox LT and ACTIV, giving shoppers another way to personalize the SUV.

The larger story, however, remains the combination of the Equinox’s redesigned exterior, technology-focused cabin, useful cargo capacity, and three distinctly different trim personalities.

1.5L Turbo Performance and Available All-Wheel Drive

Every 2027 Equinox is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. It is designed around everyday drivability rather than trying to turn a practical compact SUV into a performance vehicle.

That approach suits the Equinox well. There is enough turbocharged torque for everyday acceleration, merging, highway driving, and carrying passengers or cargo without giving up the manageable size that makes the Equinox appealing in the first place.

A Drive Mode Selector is standard, while all-wheel drive is available for buyers who want additional traction capability.

For drivers around Kingman, available AWD can add another layer of versatility when your travels take you beyond normal around-town driving or into changing road and weather conditions across Northern and Western Arizona.

Can the 2027 Chevy Equinox Tow?

Yes. When properly equipped, the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox can tow up to 1,500 pounds. That will not make it a replacement for a Silverado, but it gives the Equinox useful capability for smaller trailers and recreational equipment.

A More Distinctive Exterior

The Equinox no longer blends quietly into the compact-SUV crowd.

Its wide stance, prominent grille, sculpted bodywork, and separated front lighting elements give it a more substantial appearance than previous generations. Chevrolet also gives each major trim its own design personality rather than simply changing wheels and badges.

All-LED lighting contributes to the modern appearance, while available two-tone roof combinations can make the RS and ACTIV especially distinctive.

2027 Equinox LT: The Everyday All-Rounder

The Equinox LT is the natural starting point for shoppers who want comfort, technology, and versatility without needing the sportier appearance of the RS or adventure-oriented character of the ACTIV.

Notable LT equipment includes:

• 1.5L turbocharged engine
• 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen
• Heated front seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Available HD Surround Vision

For many Kingman-area families and commuters, the LT will likely represent the straightforward choice: plenty of useful standard equipment with the ability to add more technology and capability as desired.

2027 Equinox RS: A Sportier Side of the Equinox

Drivers who prefer a more aggressive look should spend some time with the 2027 Equinox RS.

The RS distinguishes itself with exterior details including black mirrors, black moldings, black emblems and badging, along with standard 19-inch wheels and available 20-inch machined wheels.

Inside, a flat-bottom steering wheel reinforces the sportier theme. An available contrasting black roof can make the RS stand out even more.

The important distinction is that the RS is primarily about appearance and personality. It retains the Equinox’s practical five-passenger layout and turbocharged powertrain while giving the SUV a considerably more athletic look.

2027 Equinox ACTIV: Built for a More Adventurous Look and Feel

The Equinox ACTIV takes the lineup in another direction.

Chevrolet equips the ACTIV with all-terrain tires and uniquely tuned suspension, creating an Equinox better matched visually and functionally to buyers who spend more time exploring beyond city streets.

Inside, the ACTIV features Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, while an available contrasting white roof adds another design element unique to its adventurous character.

For Western Arizona drivers who enjoy weekend trips, outdoor recreation, or simply prefer a more rugged-looking compact SUV, the ACTIV may be the most interesting Equinox of the three.

Passenger Space and 63.5 Cubic Feet of Cargo Capacity

The 2027 Equinox is a two-row SUV with seating for five.

Behind its passenger-friendly dimensions is one of the reasons the Equinox works so well as an everyday vehicle: flexibility.

With the rear seats folded, the Equinox provides up to 63.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume. That creates useful room for luggage, larger shopping trips, sports equipment, camping gear, home-improvement supplies, and the assortment of things that tend to accompany family travel.

That balance is especially appealing for buyers who want more room than a smaller crossover but do not necessarily need the size, additional seating, or higher price point of a three-row SUV.

11.3-Inch Touchscreen and Connected Technology

The centerpiece of the 2027 Equinox dashboard is its 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen.

The system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, putting familiar apps, navigation, music, messages, and other smartphone functions within easy reach.

OnStar connectivity is also integrated into the Equinox experience, while wireless phone charging is available for compatible devices.

The cabin’s technology works particularly well because Chevrolet has not treated the screen as an isolated feature. The wider dashboard and driver-focused layout give the interior a much more modern feel than Equinox models from only a few years ago.

More Than 15 Standard Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Safety technology is another major strength of the 2027 Equinox.

Chevrolet says the SUV includes more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features. Chevy Safety Assist contributes six core technologies:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert
• Following Distance Indicator
• IntelliBeam automatic high beams

Additional available technologies can further expand the driver’s view and awareness around the vehicle, including features such as HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking.

As with any driver-assistance system, these technologies are designed to assist an attentive driver rather than replace one.

Is the 2027 Chevy Equinox a Good SUV for Kingman and Western Arizona?

For a lot of local drivers, it should be a very strong fit.

Kingman sits at the crossroads of Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 93, so an everyday vehicle here can quickly go from short trips around town to longer highway drives across Western Arizona. The Equinox’s five-passenger cabin, substantial cargo capacity, available AWD, and compact exterior dimensions make it adaptable to both.

It is equally easy to picture the Equinox handling daily driving along Stockton Hill Road, a commute around Kingman, a trip toward Golden Valley or Bullhead City, or a longer weekend drive toward Parker and the Colorado River.

That versatility matters. Many SUV shoppers do not actually need the towing capacity and size of a full-size vehicle every day. They need something comfortable, useful, easy to maneuver, and roomy enough when family, friends, groceries, luggage, or recreational gear come along. That is exactly where the Equinox makes its case.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox Review: Our Take

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox does not try to win shoppers with one oversized headline feature. Instead, it succeeds by combining a lot of useful qualities into one well-rounded compact SUV.

You get a turbocharged engine, available all-wheel drive, up to 63.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, modern infotainment, extensive standard driver-assistance technology, and three trim levels with noticeably different personalities.

The LT makes sense for buyers focused on everyday value and comfort. The RS adds a sharper street-oriented appearance. The ACTIV brings all-terrain tires, unique suspension tuning, and a more adventurous personality.

Most importantly, the Equinox remains easy to use as an everyday vehicle. For shoppers looking for a 2027 Chevy Equinox in Kingman, AZ, that combination of size, technology, practicality, and available capability makes it one of the Chevrolet SUVs worth putting near the top of the test-drive list.
