2027 Chevrolet Equinox Technology Features: Full Breakdown by Trim

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox adds Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording as a new standard technology feature for this model year. That joins an 11.3-inch Google built-in touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay already standard on every trim. This page covers every tech feature by trim, and you can browse current inventory at Greg Hubler Chevrolet.

2027 Equinox full specs and trims

Technology Feature Overview

The 2027 Equinox carries one of the strongest standard technology packages in the compact SUV class. Every trim, from the entry LT through the RS, ships with an 11.3-inch color LCD touchscreen powered by Google built-in, an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Remote Start, a Wi-Fi hotspot, 5G vehicle connectivity, and Adaptive Cruise Control. That means no buyer has to step up to a higher trim just to get a usable, connected cabin.

The headline addition for 2027 is Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording. This feature gives owners a camera view of the cabin interior, which matters both for safety monitoring and for checking on passengers or cargo when the vehicle is parked.

Beyond the screen and camera system, the Equinox brings Google Automotive Services to the dashboard. That integration means native Google Maps, Google Assistant voice commands, and access to Google Play apps without requiring a connected phone.

How the Technology Works

11.3-Inch Google Built-In Touchscreen

The display runs Google’s native automotive operating system rather than a mirrored phone interface. Navigation, voice, and app access all live directly in the headunit. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also available simultaneously for drivers who prefer their phone’s ecosystem. There are no cables required for either connection.

11-Inch Digital Driver Information Center

The driver-facing display sits in the instrument cluster and shows speed, navigation prompts, safety alerts, and drive mode information. At 11 diagonal inches, it gives the driver a full read of vehicle status without glancing away from the road.

Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording

This system uses an interior-facing camera to monitor the cabin. Cabin Glance can alert the driver to activity in the rear seating area. Security Interior Recording stores footage of the cabin interior when the vehicle is parked and motion is detected. Both functions are managed through the infotainment system.

Remote Start

Remote Start is standard on all three trims. Drivers in Camby and across Indiana can start the Equinox from inside the house on cold mornings or warm it down before a summer commute, without walking to the vehicle.

Drive Mode Selector

Standard on every trim, the Drive Mode Selector adjusts throttle response and other drivability parameters. Modes are accessible through the center console interface.

5G Vehicle Connectivity and Wi-Fi Hotspot

The Equinox carries a built-in 5G modem, giving passengers a hotspot connection without relying on a phone’s cellular plan. This is standard across all LT, RS, and ACTIV configurations.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control is standard on every trim. The system adjusts vehicle speed to maintain a set following distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver workload on Indiana highways.

Technology Features Across the Trims

Not every tech feature carries through at the same level across all three trims. Here is how the technology stack distributes:

2027 Chevrolet Equinox LT technology features

LT

The LT includes the full Google built-in 11.3-inch touchscreen, 11-inch Driver Information Center, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, Remote Start, Adaptive Cruise Control, 5G connectivity, SiriusXM with 360L trial, and the new Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording. Climate control on the LT is single-zone manual. Wireless Phone Charging is available as an option on the LT but not standard.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV technology features

ACTIV

The ACTIV adds Wireless Phone Charging as standard equipment. Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control is standard. Rain-Sensing Wipers are standard. Overhead sunglass storage, Universal Home Remote, and a Cabin Humidity Sensor are also standard. Driver memory for seat positioning is standard on the ACTIV.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox RS technology features

RS

The RS mirrors the ACTIV in tech content. Wireless Phone Charging, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and Rain-Sensing Wipers are all standard. The RS also includes the wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel and Evotex seat trim, giving it a sportier interior context around the same technology core. Driver memory is standard on the RS.

Both the ACTIV and RS include the Safety and Technology Package as an available upgrade, which adds features such as Traffic Sign Recognition, HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, a Rear Camera Mirror, and an Interior Camera beyond the base Cabin Glance system.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox daily driver technology benefits

Real-World Benefit for Daily Drivers

For drivers running daily routes between Camby, Indianapolis, and surrounding communities, the technology lineup addresses the real frictions of everyday driving. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto mean the phone charges on the pad rather than sitting plugged into a port. The 5G hotspot keeps passengers connected without burning through a personal data plan. Remote Start cuts the time spent waiting for the cabin to reach a comfortable temperature in Indiana winters.

The Cabin Glance system adds a layer of awareness that parents with young children and rideshare users will find genuinely useful. Knowing the rear seats are clear after loading groceries, or having a record of cabin activity while the vehicle is parked, removes a small but real daily concern.

Adaptive Cruise Control reduces fatigue on longer highway runs toward the city. The Following Distance Indicator, standard on all trims, gives the driver a continuous read of gap to the vehicle ahead, reinforcing safer spacing habits without requiring the driver to interpret numbers.

Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control on the ACTIV and RS lets driver and front passenger set independent temperatures, which matters on longer family trips where cabin comfort preferences differ.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox technology compared to rivals

How It Compares

The 2027 Equinox’s decision to make the full Google built-in display and wireless CarPlay/Android Auto standard at the base LT trim is a meaningful distinction. Several rivals in the compact SUV segment reserve wireless smartphone integration for mid-tier or higher trims, or offer wired connections only at the entry level.

Adaptive Cruise Control as a standard feature across all trims is similarly uncommon at this price point in the segment. Many competing models place this system behind a package upgrade. The Equinox puts it on every buyer’s vehicle regardless of chosen trim.

The addition of Cabin Glance as a new-for-2027 standard feature also sets the Equinox apart. Interior camera systems that record when parked are typically found in higher-end vehicles or require aftermarket installation. Having it built into the Chevrolet infotainment ecosystem at this level is notable.
