2027 Chevrolet Equinox in Dallas: Trims, Pricing and What’s New
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is a five-passenger compact SUV built for families and daily commuters who want modern safety technology, practical cargo space, and up to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined. Three models — LT, RS, and ACTIV — are each offered with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, for six configurations that share a 1.5L turbocharged engine with 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and about 30 cu ft of cargo space behind the second row. Galleria Chevrolet, on LBJ Freeway in Far North Dallas, is ready to help you compare all three models.

What’s New for the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox
The 2027 Equinox remains part of the fourth generation that launched for 2025, with a short list of meaningful updates over the 2026 model:
| Update | 2026 Equinox | 2027 Equinox |
|---|---|---|
| Front-wheel-drive transmission | CVT | 8-speed automatic |
| Front-wheel-drive torque | 184 lb-ft | 203 lb-ft |
| Front-wheel-drive max towing (properly equipped) | 800 lbs | 1,500 lbs |
| Autumn Harvest Metallic paint (LT, ACTIV) | Not offered | Available |
| Interior Camera (Safety and Technology Package) | Not offered | Available |
Every 2027 Equinox now uses the 8-speed automatic and produces 203 lb-ft of torque, and front-wheel-drive towing now matches all-wheel-drive models.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
How the 2027 Equinox Fits Far North Dallas Drivers
For households commuting from Far North Dallas, University Park, or Highland Park, the Equinox pairs five-passenger seating with a footprint that is easy to park at Galleria Dallas or NorthPark Center. Front-wheel-drive models return an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined, and all-wheel drive is available on every trim for added traction.
The cabin seats five, the rear seat splits and folds for longer cargo, and every 2027 Equinox is rated to tow up to 1,500 lbs when properly equipped — enough for a small utility trailer or weekend gear. Shoppers cross-shopping the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, or Ford Escape will find standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on every Equinox trim.

Exterior Design and Colors
The 2027 Equinox uses all-LED lighting, and each model wears its own grille and front fascia. The RS adds black mirrors, moldings, emblems, and badging, standard 19-inch wheels with available 20-inch machined wheels, and an available two-tone black roof. The ACTIV adds all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, a uniquely tuned suspension, and an available two-tone white roof.
Eight exterior colors are offered for 2027: Autumn Harvest Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Reef Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Summit White, Polar White Tricoat, and Radiant Red Tintcoat. Availability varies by trim.

Performance, Fuel Economy and Towing
Every 2027 Equinox runs a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder rated at 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, now paired with an 8-speed automatic on both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models. The engine runs on regular unleaded gasoline, and a Drive Mode Selector is standard.
Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 25 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 25 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined — a one-mpg combined trade-off for added traction.
Towing is rated at up to 1,500 lbs when properly equipped, on front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models alike. Chevrolet no longer offers a factory Trailering Package for 2027; a hitch and wiring harness can be ordered through a dealership.

Does the 2027 Equinox come with all-wheel drive, and is it worth the upgrade?
Yes — all-wheel drive is available on the LT, RS, and ACTIV and adds $2,000 MSRP to the front-wheel-drive equivalent. Both drivetrains share the same 175 hp, 203 lb-ft of torque, and up to 1,500 lbs of towing when properly equipped. The trade-off is fuel economy: EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined with all-wheel drive versus 27 mpg combined with front-wheel drive.
