2027 Chevrolet Equinox: What’s New, Trims, Specs & Features

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox adds Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording as standard new features across all trims. This update joins an already complete suite of Google built-in infotainment and standard Chevy Safety Assist on every trim. This page covers every trim, spec, and change so you can compare options and check current inventory at Greg Hubler Chevrolet.

What’s New for 2027

The headline addition for 2027 is Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording, now standard on every Equinox trim. This system uses an interior camera to let drivers review cabin activity, a feature that was not offered on the 2026 model. It is a meaningful upgrade for families and anyone who shares their vehicle.

Beyond that, the 2027 Equinox carries forward the strong feature set introduced in the recent redesign. Every trim ships with a 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in, an 11-inch digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, 5G vehicle connectivity, and Adaptive Cruise Control as standard equipment. These features required option packages or higher trims on earlier generations.

2027 Chevrolet Equinox safety and driver assistance

Safety & Driver Assistance

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every 2027 Equinox and bundles six active safety systems: Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Steering Assistance with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and Automatic High Beams, also known as IntelliBeam.

The 2027 model also adds Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking as standard across all trims. Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Rear Park Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control are all standard. Side Bicyclist Alert and a Safety Alert Seat round out the active systems.

Teen Driver, Buckle to Drive, Rear Seat Reminder, and Occupant Presence Detection for both rows add family-focused layers. Traffic Sign Recognition and Rear Pedestrian Alert are available options on all trims.

Who It’s For / vs. the Prior Year

The 2027 Equinox is a strong choice for buyers who want a well-equipped compact SUV without stepping into a larger segment. The primary reason to buy 2027 over the 2026 model is the standard Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording system, a genuinely useful addition that no prior Equinox carried as standard equipment.

Shoppers coming from older Equinox generations will also notice the step up in base technology. The full Google built-in system, 5G connectivity, wireless phone projection, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking were not all standard on the same base trim until this generation.

Buyers who want AWD for Indiana winters will find the option available across all three trims. The ACTIV with AWD suits drivers who want light-duty versatility without committing to a truck. The RS with AWD suits drivers who prioritize a sportier appearance with weather capability.

Families in the Camby area and throughout the Greg Hubler Chevrolet group’s footprint can check current stock to see which trims and color combinations are on the lot now.
