Now that the latest Chevy Equinox has arrived at dealerships across Michigan for 2027, families shopping for compact SUVs here in the west-central Lower Peninsula already want to know what the model has in store for travel throughout the Wolverine State. If you and the gang are considering financing or leasing one and wondering what upgrades Chevy made for the model year, you've come to the right place; the experts here at Young Chevrolet GMC of Ionia have the details.
A Transmission Trade-Up
Front-wheel-drive (FWD) Equinox models now feature an eight-speed automatic transmission. It not only replaces the outgoing continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), providing smoother, more natural shifts and easier acceleration, merging, and lane-changing in dense Grand Rapids, MI, traffic. It also enables towing up to 1,500 pounds, which is plenty for hauling a lightweight utility or teardrop trailer on outdoor getaways to Steamboat Park Campground.
Your Infotainment, Now Google Gemini-Powered
The SUV's Google built-in system will now use the Gemini AI Assistant, which will be a boon for your Lansing, MI, commute. It'll let you make and receive hands-free calls and text messages, control and adjust climate and other basic settings, activate available navigation, and access Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, and other apps to help answer specific questions, all conversationally.
Two New Safety and Technology Package Adds
The 2027 Equinox will offer an optional Safety and Technology Package that will feature both an interior camera with Cabin Glance functionality and a rear camera washer. That means you'll be able to check on rear-seat passengers on road trips out of Ada Township, MI, without taking your eyes off the road and clear mud and rainwater off the rearview camera's lens for improved visibility in bad weather.
A Welcome Aesthetics Refresh
Every Equinox will come built to turn heads around Greenville, MI, for 2027. With the Cacti Green hue retired from the color palette, a striking new Autumn Harvest Metallic option will now be available. What's more, the sporty RS trim will now boast exclusive Torch Red stitching across its seats and dashboard, replacing the outgoing blue accent stitching.
Everything You Already Love About the Compact Crossover
Of course, the latest Equinox will keep the winning blend of style, capability, comfort, and leading-edge technology that make it a top choice for busy parents with active school-age kids, featuring:
- An expertly customizable design, with painted and machined-face aluminum wheel options in sizes ranging from 17 to 20 inches, plus contrasting roof colors such as Summit White and Mosaic Black Metallic
- A sprightly 175-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that delivers 203 pound-feet of torque
- Optional all-wheel drive (AWD)
- A spacious, comfortable cabin with standard heated front seats, optional ventilated front seats, and available Evotex synthetic leather upholstery
- Up to 64 cubic feet of cargo space for the week's groceries, a vacation's worth of luggage, and more
- An easy-to-use 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability
- Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, rear pedestrian detection, a 360-degree camera system, traffic sign recognition, and a host of other driver-assistance technologies
- Excellent fuel economy of up to 26 mpg in cities and 29 mpg on the highway, reducing the number of pull-offs at gas stations on longer trips away from Charlotte, MI
