2027 Chevrolet Equinox Interior: Cabin Space, Comfort and Technology

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox wraps five passengers in 104 cubic feet of EPA passenger volume and puts an 11.3-inch touchscreen in front of every driver, on every trim. This guide covers what the Equinox interior actually measures, what comes standard inside it, and what Chevrolet added to the cabin for 2027.

How Much Interior Space Does the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox Have?

The Equinox seats five across two rows on a 107.5-inch wheelbase, with 104 cubic feet of total EPA passenger volume. Front occupants get 40.0 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom. The second row gives up less than you might expect: 39.2 inches of headroom and 39.9 inches of legroom, which is within an inch of the front row on both measurements. Full 2027 Equinox dimensions are published by Edmunds.

That matters because of how people actually shop crossovers. When families come through our showroom, second-row legroom and child-seat fitment get checked before anyone touches the dashboard. The rear bench seats three across, and rear passengers get their own air vents as standard equipment rather than as part of a comfort package.

Shoulder and hip room tell a similar story. The Equinox keeps its width through the second row instead of tapering sharply behind the front seats, and the 51.7 inches of rear hip room is the figure that decides whether three across in back is realistic or merely possible.

Seating, Comfort and Upholstery

Upholstery and Trim Character

Upholstery changes as you move up the lineup. The LT uses cloth seating surfaces. The ACTIV upgrades to Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces per Chevrolet, a combination that reads more rugged than plush and suits the trim’s outdoor positioning. The RS takes a different route, adding a flat-bottom steering wheel as the clearest cue that you are sitting in the sport-themed trim rather than the LT.

Heated Seats, Power Seats and the Moonroof

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard across the entire 2027 Equinox lineup, starting with the base LT. There is no option package to add and no upper trim to reach for. On a January morning in North Dallas, that is the feature owners notice first.

Seat adjustment is where the three trims separate most. The LT comes with a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat and makes a power driver’s seat an option; the RS and ACTIV include the power driver’s seat as standard and can add a power front passenger seat, which the LT does not offer at any price. A panoramic moonroof is optional on all three trims. Heated outside mirrors, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and keyless entry with keyless ignition are standard regardless of which trim you choose. Kelley Blue Book lists the 2027 Equinox feature set by trim.

What Technology Comes Standard Inside the 2027 Equinox?

Dual Displays and Google Built-In

Every 2027 Equinox arrives with an 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen, standard on every trim per Chevrolet, plus a second digital display in the instrument panel ahead of the driver. Chevrolet does not restrict the large screens to upper trims or bundle them into a technology package.

Google built-in anchors the experience. Google Maps runs natively rather than through a phone, and it can be pushed to the driver display so the center screen stays free for audio or apps. Google Assistant handles voice commands for climate and media, alongside OnStar connectivity. Physical climate controls and a volume dial remain below the screen, so the adjustments drivers make most often never require a menu.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both connect wirelessly. Pairing happens without a cable, and USB-C ports are distributed through the cabin for passengers who want to charge anyway. Available wireless phone charging adds a console pad for devices that support it.

Cameras You Experience from Inside the Cabin

New for the 2027 model year, an available interior camera adds cabin glance views and security video recording. It is the most notable cabin addition this model year.

Two more camera systems are experienced entirely from inside the Equinox. Available HD Surround Vision renders a 360-degree overhead view on the center touchscreen, which is the difference between confidence and guesswork in a tight parking garage. The available Rear Camera Mirror converts the rearview mirror into a live video feed, so a cargo area loaded to the roof no longer blocks the view behind you.

Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.

Cargo Space Behind and Beyond the Rear Seats

Behind the second row, the 2027 Equinox holds 29.8 cubic feet of cargo. Fold the split-folding rear seatback and that expands to 63.5 cubic feet, enough to swallow the kind of load that normally forces a second trip. Because the seatback splits, you can drop one side for longer items while a passenger still rides in back, which is the configuration most University Park families actually use on a Saturday.
