• One engine on the gas car: a 1.5L Turbo rated at 175 horsepower with an 8-speed automatic.

How much is a top-trim 2027 Chevrolet Equinox?

On the gas car, the RS and ACTIV both start at $33,900 excluding a $1,995 destination charge, and all-wheel drive takes either to $35,900. On the electric side the RS starts at $44,095 excluding an $1,800 destination charge. Options and packages sit on top of those figures.

Do the published Equinox prices include the destination charge?

No. Chevrolet publishes starting MSRP excluding destination, and this site follows that convention. Destination is $1,995 on the gas Equinox and $1,800 on the Equinox EV, so add the relevant one to any starting price on this site to get the delivered figure before tax, title and fees.

Is the 2027 Equinox available at Outten Chevrolet in Allentown?

Yes, and our Equinox inventory page shows exactly what is on the ground right now, trim by trim. The Equinox EV listing is separate, because the two are different nameplates.

Should I lease or finance a 2027 Equinox?

It comes down to how long you keep a car and how many miles you drive. Our finance team runs both sets of numbers side by side on the same vehicle so you can compare them directly, and you can start a pre-approval before you come in. Current Chevrolet offers are on our special offers page.

What engine is in the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox?

A 1.5L Turbo four-cylinder rated at 175 horsepower at 5,600 rpm, on regular unleaded, in every gas trim. It pairs with an 8-speed automatic on both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and the final drive ratio is 3.47. The car is also E15 capable.

Does the 2027 Equinox come with all-wheel drive?

Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available on every gas trim for $2,000. On the Equinox EV, front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available across the range. Given how the Lehigh Valley handles a February storm, all-wheel drive is the configuration most buyers here choose.

Why is the Equinox EV's all-wheel-drive range lower than its front-drive range?

A second drive unit adds weight and draws power, so the EPA rates the front-drive Equinox EV at 319 miles and the all-wheel-drive car at 307. Both figures are Chevrolet's own for 2027 and the EPA's listing corroborates the all-wheel-drive number. The 319-mile headline never applies to an all-wheel-drive build.

Does cold weather affect the Equinox EV's range?

Temporarily, yes, as it does on any electric vehicle: a cold battery and cabin heating both draw on the pack. The practical answer is preconditioning the cabin while the car is still plugged in, which is a setting rather than a service item. Range returns as temperatures rise.

How big is the touchscreen in the 2027 Equinox?

11.3 inches diagonally on the gas Equinox, with Google built-in and OnStar connectivity. The Equinox EV runs a larger 17.7-inch center touchscreen, also with Google built-in, and Google Gemini is available on it.

Does the 2027 Equinox have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

The gas Equinox carries Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility alongside Google built-in and OnStar. Both cars run Google built-in as the native system, so navigation and voice work without a phone connected at all.

What driver assistance features are standard on the 2027 Equinox?

Over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features on the gas car, built around Chevy Safety Assist: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, a Following Distance Indicator and IntelliBeam. HD Surround Vision, Side Bicyclist Alert, a Rear Camera Mirror and Rear Cross Traffic Braking are available. The Equinox EV carries over 20 standard features and makes Adaptive Cruise Control one of them.

Which 2027 Equinox trim suits a family best?

The all-wheel-drive LT at $31,000 covers most families here: heated front seats and a heated steering wheel standard, the 11.3-inch screen, Chevy Safety Assist and 63.5 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded. Families who load the car on gravel or unplowed surfaces should look at the ACTIV for its all-terrain tires and suspension tune.

What does the Equinox ACTIV add over the LT?

$4,900 over the LT brings all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, standard roof side rails and cross rails, and an available two-tone white roof. The engine and transmission are the same, so what the money buys is grip and trim rather than pace.

What does the Equinox EV RS add over the LT 2?

$2,300 brings unique front and rear fascias, black exterior accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel and 21-inch black wheels. Everything on the LT 2 carries over, including the heated seats and steering wheel, HD Surround Vision and wireless phone charging.

What does it cost to maintain a 2027 Equinox?

Year one costs nothing in scheduled service on either car: one maintenance visit at 12 months or 12,000 miles is included, covering an oil and filter change, a four-tire rotation and a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection. After that the gas car needs oil on its oil-life schedule and rotations every 7,500 miles; the Equinox EV drops the oil work entirely and keeps the rotations.

How long is corrosion coverage on the 2027 Equinox?

3 years or 36,000 miles for corrosion, with rust-through coverage running 6 years or 100,000 miles, on both cars. That coverage matters here: salt season runs from late November into March and PennDOT treats Route 22 and I-78 heavily throughout.

What are the regular wear items on a 2027 Equinox?

Tires, brake pads and rotors, wipers, and cabin and engine air filters on the gas car. The Equinox EV shares that list minus the engine air filter, and its regenerative braking often extends friction-pad life. In this region brake hardware is worth inspecting each spring whatever the mileage, because corrosion rather than wear is what tends to get it.

Can I drive the gas Equinox and the Equinox EV on the same visit?

Yes, and it is the fastest way to decide. Twenty minutes in each on Route 22 and a local loop settles most of the question. Book both here and we will have them ready when you arrive.

How do I get pre-approved before visiting Outten Chevrolet?

Use our pre-approval form or the Capital One pre-qualification tool, both online and both quick. Our finance centre takes it from there, and knowing your number before you shop makes the trim decision much easier.

Will Outten Chevrolet appraise my trade-in?

Yes. Start with our trade-in valuation form to get a figure online, then we confirm it when we see the vehicle. You can line the appraisal up alongside a test drive so both happen in one visit.

What if the 2027 Equinox trim I want is not on the lot?

Tell us the trim, the drivetrain and the colour and we will tell you what we can source and how long it takes. Our new Equinox inventory is live, so it is worth checking first; stock moves quickly on the popular configurations.

What should I bring when I come to buy a 2027 Equinox?

A driving licence, proof of insurance, and the title or loan details for anything you are trading. If you have started a pre-approval online, bring the reference. That is enough for us to complete a purchase the same day.

Can I have my Equinox serviced at Outten Chevrolet after I buy?

Yes, and it is the same building. Our service department handles both the gas Equinox and the Equinox EV, including the high-voltage work the electric car needs. Schedule service here or see current service and parts specials.
