About the 2027 Equinox and Equinox EV

The gas 2027 Equinox is a compact two-row crossover in LT, RS and ACTIV, all powered by the 1.5L Turbo four-cylinder rated at 175 hp and paired with an 8-speed automatic on front- and all-wheel drive alike. It returns 27 MPG combined in front-wheel drive with a 400-mile total range (fueleconomy.gov), folds down to 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo, and tows up to 1,500 lbs properly equipped, which covers a small utility trailer or a pair of kayaks bound for Blue Marsh Lake.

The 2027 Equinox EV is a separate battery-electric nameplate, not a variant of the gas car. It rides a longer wheelbase, carries an 85 kWh battery, and is rated at an EPA-estimated 319 miles on front-wheel drive or 307 miles on available all-wheel drive. For 2027 it adopts a standard NACS charging port, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is available on it. Its ladder runs LT 1, LT 2 and RS, and it holds 57.2 cu. ft. of cargo behind a 17.7-inch center screen.
