2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV: Trims, Range, and What's New
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV delivers an EPA-estimated 319 miles of range with a standard NACS charging port. AWD is now available across all three trims, giving Minnesota drivers genuine all-season confidence. This page covers every trim, the full feature set, with current inventory at ASA Auto Plaza in Jackson.
What's New for 2027
The single biggest story for 2027 is the standard NACS charging port. Every Equinox EV now ships with the connector that unlocks access to the Tesla Supercharger network alongside thousands of other compatible public stations, putting over 250,000 chargers across North America within reach without an adapter.
DC fast charging adds up to 80 miles of range in just 10 minutes at a compatible public charger. That number matters for anyone in southwestern Minnesota who occasionally runs a longer route between Jackson and the Twin Cities or Sioux Falls.
The 2027 model year also formalizes AWD availability across the full lineup. Previously, buyers seeking all-wheel drive had fewer trim choices. Now the LT 1, LT 2, and RS all offer an AWD configuration, pairing dual electric motors with the same core feature content shoppers expect from each trim.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Equinox EV is offered in three trims. FWD is standard on all three; AWD is available on each.
LT 1
is the entry point. It includes the 17.7-inch center touchscreen with Google built-in compatibility, Adaptive Cruise Control, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, a Dual Level Charge Cord for Level 1 and Level 2 home charging, a 6-way manual driver seat, and the full Chevy Safety Assist package. The 11-inch Driver Information Center is standard.
LT 2
adds meaningful comfort upgrades. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard at this level, along with wireless phone charging, an 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar, the AutoSense power liftgate, heated mirrors, HD Surround Vision, selectable multi-color ambient interior lighting, and bright roof-mounted side rails. The Evotex up-level seating surface replaces cloth.
RS
builds on LT 2 with a sport-oriented appearance package. Unique front and rear fascias give the exterior a more aggressive look. Black exterior accents, black roof-mounted side rails, and 21-inch Black painted aluminum wheels with self-sealing all-season tires complete the RS look. A flat-bottom wrapped steering wheel replaces the round-bottom unit found on the LT trims.
Performance & Powertrain
Every FWD Equinox EV runs a single permanent-magnet electric motor producing 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque through a single-speed direct-drive unit. AWD models add a second electric motor at the rear axle.
FWD models are EPA-estimated at 319 miles of range on a full charge. AWD models are EPA-estimated at 307 miles. Both figures put the Equinox EV well above what most compact-SUV shoppers require for daily use in and around Jackson, even accounting for Minnesota winters.
One-pedal driving (Regen on Demand) lets the driver recover energy through regenerative braking. Cabin preconditioning, managed through the myChevrolet app, heats or cools the interior before departure while the vehicle is still plugged in, drawing from the grid rather than the battery. That feature is especially practical during January mornings in southwestern Minnesota.
The onboard charging module supports Level 2 AC charging at up to 11.5 kW. Vehicle-to-Home capability is also available, allowing a properly equipped home to draw backup power from the battery during an outage.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Equinox EV seats five. Cargo space behind the second row measures 26.4 cubic feet, and the fold-flat 60/40 split rear seat opens up additional room when needed. A dual-height cargo floor adds flexibility for organizing gear.
The LT 1 uses cloth seating with a 6-way manual driver seat. The LT 2 steps up to Evotex seating surfaces with an 8-way power driver seat, 2-way power lumbar, and heated front seats. The RS carries over all LT 2 interior content and pairs it with the flat-bottom steering wheel.
The center console column-mounted Electronic Precision Shift selector clears traditional shifter bulk from the console, creating additional storage space between the front seats. Front and rear cupholders, a rear center armrest, and four USB-C ports (two data, two charging-only) are standard across all trims.
Technology & Infotainment
The 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen is the largest among EVs in the compact SUV class. Google built-in compatibility means Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Gemini are accessible directly on the display without requiring a phone connection. Natural Voice Recognition is standard, and connected apps support personalized driver profiles.
The 11-inch Driver Information Center sits in front of the driver and displays battery status, range, and five selectable visual themes. SiriusXM with 360L is included with a trial subscription, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot is available.
Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is available on properly equipped trims. The system handles steering, acceleration, and braking across more than 600,000 miles of compatible North American roads, and it integrates with Google Maps to display which portions of a planned route can be driven hands-free.
Wireless phone charging is standard on LT 2 and RS trims.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Every 2027 Equinox EV ships with over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features under the Chevy Safety Assist package. Standard items include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Departure Steering Assistance, Following Distance Indicator, and Automatic High Beams.
Additional standard content across all trims includes Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Park Assist, Safety Alert Seat, HD Rear Vision Camera, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and LED Reflective Windshield Collision Alert.
LT 2 and RS trims add HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Traffic Sign Recognition as standard through the Active Safety Package 2.
Teen Driver and Buckle to Drive are standard across all trims.
Who It's For / vs the Prior Year
The 2027 Equinox EV is built for buyers who want a no-compromise family SUV that runs on electricity without stretching their budget or their range anxiety. The standard NACS port is the most practical upgrade over the prior model year. Shoppers who held off waiting for broader charging access now have a cleaner reason to move forward.
For the AWD buyer specifically, the 2027 lineup removes a significant limitation. Every trim now offers the dual-motor configuration, which pairs well with Minnesota road conditions from October through April. The 307 miles of AWD range is still well above what most daily drivers require.
Buyers comparing the Equinox EV to the prior year will find the same strong value proposition in the LT 1, the same comfort-focused upgrades in the LT 2, and the same sport aesthetic in the RS. What changed is broader charging access and a more complete AWD option set.
