Every published specification for the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox and the 2027 Equinox EV, sourced and separated by car. The gas Equinox is 183.2 inches long on a 107.5-inch wheelbase with a 1.5L Turbo rated at 175 horsepower; the Equinox EV is 190.6 inches long on a 116.3-inch wheelbase with an 85 kWh battery and 319 miles of EPA-estimated front-drive range. Nothing on this page crosses between them.

Where Chevrolet and the EPA publish different figures for the same thing, the source is named in the line that carries it. Come and measure either car against your garage at 1701 W Tilghman St in Allentown.

A note on two figures this page does not print, because they should not be printed. Chevrolet publishes the gas Equinox's engine and horsepower but no torque figure, and the two major independent references disagree with each other; the same is true of the Equinox EV's horsepower. Every figure printed here is one Chevrolet or the EPA publishes for this model year.

The transmission is the mechanical headline for 2027: front-wheel-drive models now use the same 8-speed automatic as all-wheel drive, so the whole gas lineup shifts through fixed gears. On the long pull north on the Turnpike Northeast Extension toward the Lehigh Tunnel, that is the change you feel.

Exterior Dimensions and Weights

Dimension	Equinox	Equinox EV
Length	183.2 in.	190.6 in.
Wheelbase	107.5 in.	116.3 in.
Width, without mirrors	74.9 in.	76.9 in.
Width, with mirrors	—	84.9 in.
Height	65.6 in.	64.8 in.
Minimum ground clearance	8.08 in.	6.4 in.
Track width	63.8 in. front, 63.9 in. rear	—
Curb weight	3,428 lbs LT front-drive; 3,428-3,629 lbs across the range	—
GVWR	4,850 lbs, LT front-drive build	Config-specific, on the door-jamb label
Maximum towing, properly equipped	1,500 lbs	1,500 lbs

The 4,850-pound GVWR is the figure for the LT front-drive build specifically and is not a lineup blanket; the number for any individual vehicle is on its own door-jamb label. Nine tenths of the practical difference between the two cars is in that wheelbase row: the EV's extra 8.8 inches between the axles is why it rides the way it does and why it needs more room in a tight garage. Center-city Allentown, the Bethlehem Historic District and downtown Easton's Centre Square are narrow-street, tight-garage environments, and the shorter gas car is the easier of the two to live with there.

Interior Dimensions and Passenger Space

Measurement	Equinox	Equinox EV
Seating capacity	5	5
Passenger volume	104.3 cu. ft.	—
Front headroom	40.0 in.	39.2 in.
Front legroom	40.9 in.	41.7 in.
Front shoulder room	57.7 in.	58.6 in.
Front hip room	54.2 in.	—
Rear headroom	39.2 in.	38.5 in.
Rear legroom	39.9 in.	38.0 in.
Rear shoulder room	55.8 in.	55.5 in.
Rear hip room	51.7 in.	—

Read the front and rear rows together and the two cars separate cleanly. The EV is the roomier car in the front seats, with nearly an inch more legroom and shoulder room; the gas car is the roomier one in the back, with 1.9 inches more rear legroom. A family that spends most of its miles with two adults up front will prefer the EV's cabin. A family that puts teenagers behind them will prefer the gas car's.

Cargo Volume and Capacities

Capacity	Equinox	Equinox EV
Cargo behind the second row	29.8 cu. ft.	26.4 cu. ft.
Cargo volume, rear seats folded	63.5 cu. ft.	57.2 cu. ft.
Roof rails	Side rails and cross rails available; standard on RS and ACTIV	Side rails standard on LT 2 and RS, not offered on LT 1
Maximum towing, properly equipped	1,500 lbs	1,500 lbs

The shorter vehicle holds more, in both measurements. A battery pack occupies floor depth that a fuel tank does not, and 6.3 cubic feet of the difference with the seats folded is exactly that. The 1,500-pound tow rating is identical on the two cars, properly equipped in each case.

Wheels, Tires and Colors

Trim	Wheels
Equinox LT	Standard
Equinox RS	19-in. standard, 20-in. machined available
Equinox ACTIV	Standard wheels on all-terrain tires
Equinox EV LT 1 and LT 2	19-in. machined-face aluminum standard, 21-in. aluminum available
Equinox EV RS	21-in. black

Gas exterior colors run Radiant Red Tintcoat, Mosaic Black Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Summit White and Reef Blue Metallic, with Artemis Gray leatherette, black leatherette or black cloth inside. The EV runs Radiant Red Tintcoat, Summit White, Riptide Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Black and White Sands, with black cloth inside.

One local note on wheel choice. Pothole season runs February through April here and the Valley cycles hard through it; wheel, tire and alignment damage spikes in those weeks. A 19-inch wheel carries more sidewall than a 21-inch, and sidewall is what absorbs an edge you did not see on Route 22 at night.

Fuel Economy, Range and Charging in Allentown

Configuration	City	Highway	Combined	Total range
Equinox FWD	25 MPG	29 MPG	27 MPG	400 miles
Equinox AWD	25 MPG	29 MPG	26 MPG	406 miles
Equinox EV FWD	—	—	—	319 miles
Equinox EV AWD	112 MPGe	95 MPGe	103 MPGe	307 miles

Gas and MPGe figures are EPA estimates from fueleconomy.gov. The all-wheel-drive EV also carries an EPA energy-consumption rating of 33 kWh per 100 miles. The 319-mile figure belongs to the front-drive Equinox EV; an all-wheel-drive EV is rated at 307, and the two are never interchangeable.

Charging, Equinox EV	Specification
Charging port	NACS, standard
Onboard charging module	11.5 kW capable, standard
Home charging, 240-volt	About 9.5 hours for a full charge
Public DC fast charging	Up to 80 miles of range in 10 minutes
Peak DC rate	Up to 150 kW

The NACS port is the change that matters for 2027: the car plugs into NACS-native public charging without an adapter. For a Lehigh Valley commuter, the practical shape of ownership is an overnight charge at home covering the week. A 40-mile round trip from Emmaus or Nazareth into Allentown and back, five days a week, is 200 miles against 319 on a front-drive car.

Key Features and Technology

The gas Equinox carries an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in, OnStar connectivity, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The Equinox EV carries a 17.7-inch center touchscreen with Google built-in standard and Google Gemini available, plus wireless phone charging from the LT 2 up.

LED headlamps and LED tail lamps are standard on the Equinox EV, with a front center LED light bar standard on the LT 2 and the RS. Super Cruise, GM's hands-free highway driver assistance, is available on the Equinox EV and is not offered on the gas Equinox for 2027 on any trim.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Standard on the gas Equinox: over 15 safety and driver assistance features. The Chevy Safety Assist bundle accounts for six of them, being Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, a Following Distance Indicator and IntelliBeam. Four more are available rather than standard: HD Surround Vision, Side Bicyclist Alert, a Rear Camera Mirror and Rear Cross Traffic Braking.

The Equinox EV carries over 20 standard features and the content differs in kind, not just in count: Adaptive Cruise Control is standard, and Enhanced Auto Park Assist, HD Surround Vision, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Super Cruise all appear on the list.

Warranty Coverage

Coverage	Equinox	Equinox EV
Bumper-to-bumper	3 years / 36,000 miles	3 years / 36,000 miles
Powertrain	5 years / 60,000 miles	—
Battery and electric components	—	8 years / 100,000 miles
Corrosion	3 years / 36,000 miles; rust-through 6 years / 100,000 miles	3 years / 36,000 miles; rust-through 6 years / 100,000 miles
Roadside assistance	5 years / 60,000 miles	5 years / 60,000 miles; towing 8 years / 100,000 miles
Scheduled maintenance	First visit at 12 months / 12,000 miles included	First visit at 12 months / 12,000 miles included

The six-year, 100,000-mile rust-through coverage is worth more here than it is in most markets. PennDOT salts Route 22, I-78 and PA 33 heavily from late November into March, and corrosion is the failure mode this region actually sees.

What These Numbers Mean In Practice

Three specifications decide most Equinox purchases around here, and none of them is horsepower.

The wheelbase. 107.5 inches against 116.3 is why the gas car parks more easily in a Bethlehem garage and the EV rides more smoothly on a broken surface. If your week involves structured parking, that row matters more than any other on this page.

The cargo figures. 63.5 cubic feet against 57.2 with the seats down is a real gap, and it runs opposite to what the exterior lengths suggest. Anyone loading a car regularly should look at that row before the range row.

Ground clearance. 8.08 inches on the gas car against 6.4 on the EV. On unplowed side streets in Morgantown or Limerick after a February storm, an inch and a half of clearance is the difference between driving over a plow ridge and stopping at it. Pair that with the ACTIV's all-terrain tires and the gas car is the more sure-footed choice in a bad week.

See the gas Equinox in stock, look at the Equinox EV, or book a test drive and compare them back to back. Drivers reach us easily from Bethlehem, Easton, Emmaus, Nazareth, Whitehall, Slatington, Morgantown and Limerick.
