2027 Chevrolet Equinox Buyer’s Guide in Naperville, IL

Complete with upscale tech and a sleek exterior, the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is one compact SUV that captivates its audiences. Before you visit us at Bill Kay Chevrolet to test drive it, get to know it better by reading this buyer’s guide!

Performance 

A car’s performance can be directly linked to its practicality, and that is displayed by the Equinox’s 1,500-lb. maximum towing capacity¹. You’ll need the available AWD system to earn these ratings, which is pragmatic in its own right by way of the supplemental traction the SUV’s wheels will have on wet or icy roads. The drivetrain is responsible for sending the 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque from the standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine to all four wheels. If Naperville expects a few inches of snowfall on the forecast, there are standard Snow and Ice modes dedicated to strengthening the AWD system so that you’re able to get through it without sliding around town.

Technology 

If it’s your first time hauling passengers to Whalon Lake in your newly acquired 2027 Chevrolet Equinox, it’s an opportune moment to show them the usefulness of the available Rear Camera Mirror². Rather than a traditional mirror, it uses a lens to view what’s behind the SUV, and it’s even able to zoom in if need be. Below it is a standard 11.3-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display that supports Google built-in, allowing you to control your media and navigation with vocal commands. Feel free to ask it to turn the standard 6-speaker audio system up if you’re enjoying the new song you’ve discovered using the standard SiriusXM®³ satellite radio. 

Design

New for the 2027 model year of the Equinox is the Autumn Harvest Metallic⁴ paint option, taking on a chic dark brown shade that will look right at home with the foliage at Springbrook Prairie during the fall months. It can also be paired with an optional Mosaic Black Metallic roof⁴, giving this Chevy model a dignified exterior characteristic. Black overfenders are standard and not only match the color of the aforementioned roof, but have wide openings so that the vehicle has a wide and imposing stature. They surround available 19-inch alloy wheels that are wrapped in all-season black wall tires, ensuring you’re in good shape to drive our Service Department for routine maintenance at any point of the year. 

Trim Levels

Chevrolet has kept it simple with the Equinox’s trim levels, as there is just the LT, a midgrade ACTIV version, and the sporty RS trim. The base LT offers extraordinary features that surprise many given that it’s the model’s entry point, with examples being an optional HD Rear Vision Camera, an 11.3-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display, as well as heated front seats. Its ACTIV iteration gets an optional Summit Whit¹⁴ roof, Reverse Automatic Braking², and sueded microfiber seats. Reserving this model’s more premium features for last is the RS trim, standing tall with 19-inch Carbon flash metallic alloy wheels. It’s also equipped with an Autosense powerlift gate and enhanced Evotec upholstery. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need helping deciding between these trims!
