2027 Chevrolet Equinox
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox from $29,000 and the Equinox EV from $34,995, both before destination, with every trim, price and spec compared in one place.
Two 2027 Chevrolets share a nameplate and not much else underneath: a turbocharged gas SUV from $29,000 and a battery-electric SUV from $34,995, both before destination. A Route 38 commute that eats into a weekly gas budget is one reason to look at the second one; a driveway in Mount Laurel or Moorestown with an outlet already within reach of the curb is another. Either way the shopper ends up with a five-seat SUV rated to tow 1,500 pounds properly equipped, and both are sitting on the lot in Lumberton right now.
Lucas Chevrolet sells and services both cars from Route 38, a short run from Mount Holly, Burlington and the Route 541 bypass that feeds the New Jersey Turnpike at Exit 5. Lucas Chevrolet’s sales team walks buyers through every trim and price on both nameplates, so the choice between gas and electric is settled before a test drive rather than during one. The Equinox vs Equinox EV comparison goes deeper on the gas-versus-electric question specifically.
Quick Answer
One engine covers the whole gas lineup: a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, now paired to an 8-speed automatic on front-wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive. Chevrolet made that transmission standard across the board for 2027, and the difference shows up in the stop-and-go on the Route 38 retail strip through Mount Holly and Moorestown, where a car spends more time shifting than cruising. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on any of the three trims and uses a Drive Mode Selector to shift power delivery for the road surface underneath.
EPA estimates land at 25 city, 29 highway and 27 combined on front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive gives up 1 mpg combined at 25/29/26 (source: fueleconomy.gov). Do the math against the 14.8-gallon tank and a front-drive Equinox covers roughly 400 miles per tank, 406 with all-wheel drive, which stretches a Burlington County commuter past a full week between fill-ups. Regular unleaded works fine and the engine is E15 capable. Braking comes from four-wheel antilock discs with FNC-coated rotors on a four-wheel independent suspension, the kind of detail that matters once Route 38 gets salted for a South Jersey winter.
A single-speed direct-drive motor replaces the transmission entirely, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available. The range figure moves with the drivetrain: 319 miles EPA-estimated on front-wheel drive, 307 on all-wheel drive, which is also rated at 112 city, 95 highway and 103 combined MPGe. Charging hardware is where the 2027 model year changes things: a standard NACS port replaces the old connector and opens the car up to a much bigger public charging network, with DC fast charging adding roughly 80 miles of range in ten minutes in the right conditions. At home, the standard 11.5 kW onboard charger fills an empty battery in about 9.5 hours on 240 volts, an overnight job for anyone plugging in around Delran, Cinnaminson or Willingboro. None of that charging hardware exists on the gas Equinox, which carries a 14.8-gallon fuel tank instead.

On any of the three gas trims, all-wheel drive is a $2,000 step. The gas palette takes in Summit White, Polar White Tricoat, Mosaic Black Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Reef Blue Metallic and Autumn Harvest Metallic, the last new for 2027 and offered on LT and ACTIV only. The Equinox EV adds Riptide Blue Metallic and White Sands, also new for 2027, to a similar shared palette.
Three trims split into three different arguments. LT opens the lineup at $29,000 without feeling like a stripped-down car: a heated steering wheel, heated front seats and the 11.3-inch touchscreen all come standard, and HD Surround Vision can be added. RS, at $33,900, is the styling play: black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a jump from standard 19-inch wheels to available 20-inch machined units. ACTIV shares that $33,900 starting point but spends it on capability instead of looks: all-terrain tires, a suspension retuned for rougher surfaces, and Evotex-and-sueded-microfiber seating that shrugs off a muddy morning at Rancocas State Park or a snow-covered driveway in Westampton. Stepping from LT up to RS or ACTIV costs $4,900; all-wheel drive is a flat $2,000 add on any of the three.
The electric ladder starts at LT 1, $34,995, which is the trim that earns the 319-mile range figure and comes with the 17.7-inch touchscreen plus more than 20 standard driver-assistance features, Adaptive Cruise Control included. Moving to LT 2 for $41,795 buys comfort rather than capability: heated front seats, steering wheel and mirrors, HD Surround Vision, and wireless phone charging. RS tops the range at $44,095 with unique front and rear fascias, black exterior accents, a flat-bottom wheel and 21-inch black wheels. Compared to the gas lineup, the jump from a base LT to the entry-level EV is $5,995 before either destination charge.
Every gas Equinox ships with an 11.3-inch touchscreen running Google built-in, OnStar connectivity, and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so a route around Route 70 Shore traffic near Marlton is already loaded before the car leaves the driveway. New for 2027, an available Interior Camera lets an owner check the cabin remotely and pull security recordings from a phone. The Equinox EV’s touchscreen grows to 17.7 inches, which Chevrolet calls the largest in its class, and pairs with an 11-inch Driver Information Center, Google built-in with available Google Gemini, and available Super Cruise for hands-free stretches of the New Jersey Turnpike. That last item is worth being precise about: Super Cruise belongs to the Equinox EV for 2027 and is not offered on the gas car, a real point of separation for anyone racking up long highway miles every week.
Five seats, two rows, on both nameplates. Front headroom on the gas Equinox runs 40.0 inches with 40.9 inches of legroom, easing to 39.2 and 39.9 inches in the second row, for 104.3 cubic feet of passenger volume total. The Equinox EV rides on a longer 116.3-inch wheelbase, which grows front legroom to 41.7 inches even as the floor-mounted battery brings rear headroom down to 38.5 inches. Materials run Artemis Gray or Black leatherette or Black cloth on the gas car, Black cloth only on the EV. Either back seat comfortably carries two car seats and a third passenger for the drive across Route 130 toward Delran or Cinnaminson.
Drop the rear seats in a gas Equinox and you have 63.5 cubic feet to work with, against 29.8 with them upright, enough for a Laurel Acres Park sledding-hill haul out of Mount Laurel or a full Cherry Hill Mall trip without piling bags onto the back seat. Its underfloor battery costs the Equinox EV some of that, leaving 57.2 cubic feet at maximum and 26.4 with the seats up. Towing tells a more careful story: both nameplates are rated up to 1,500 pounds properly equipped, which covers a small utility trailer, or two personal watercraft heading down to the Shore, but on the gas car that number only applies with the 1.5L Turbo AND all-wheel drive together, so a front-wheel-drive gas Equinox does not reach that figure. Length runs 183.2 inches on the gas Equinox against 190.6 on the EV, with 8.08 inches of ground clearance on the gas car versus 6.4 on the electric one, a gap worth knowing before either one takes the unpaved lot edges around Historic Smithville Park.
The gas Equinox carries more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features. Grouped by what they actually do:
Chevy Safety Assist is the bundle, standard on every gas trim. From the options list come Side Bicyclist Alert, HD Surround Vision, Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Rear Camera Mirror, useful for tight parking near Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst or backing out of a full Moorestown Mall lot. A deeper standard set applies to the Equinox EV: past 20 features, Adaptive Cruise Control on every trim, and Super Cruise available further up the range. Roadside coverage runs 5 years/60,000 miles on both nameplates, and the Equinox EV extends towing assistance specifically to 8 years/100,000 miles, worth knowing for anyone commuting I-295 with a Deborah Heart and Lung Center shift in Browns Mills or a regular trip to Virtua Mount Holly.
Most South Jersey shoppers settle on one of two well-equipped builds: an all-wheel-drive gas LT at $31,000, or, once home charging is sorted, the Equinox EV LT 2 at $41,795.
Both cars sit on the same lot on Route 38, and the same service drive works on either one, a real convenience for a household that ends up choosing gas this time and electric next time. A first scheduled maintenance visit comes included at 12 months or 12,000 miles regardless of powertrain. Warranty coverage matches across the lineup at 3 years/36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 5 years/60,000 miles on the powertrain, with the Equinox EV adding 8 years/100,000 miles on the battery and electric components. Lucas Chevrolet sells across Burlington County and the wider South Jersey market, from Mount Laurel and Moorestown to Marlton, Burlington, Willingboro and Cinnaminson, and Rowan College at Burlington County students, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst commuters and Route 541 regulars headed toward Mount Holly are all a short drive from a test drive or a service appointment.
Financing and leasing are handled on-site for both powertrains, and a trade toward either car can be valued before a visit. Explore financing options or value your trade ahead of a Route 38 visit, then see the full trim-by-trim breakdown or the complete specs and dimensions for either nameplate.
