Specs & Dimensions
2027 Chevrolet Equinox and Equinox EV specifications: dimensions, cargo, MPG and EV range, every figure sourced and dated.
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox runs 183.2 inches long on a 107.5-inch wheelbase, starts at 3,428 pounds and returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. The Equinox EV shares the nameplate and the showroom floor at Lucas Chevrolet in Lumberton but is a different vehicle underneath: 190.6 inches on a 116.3-inch wheelbase, an EPA-estimated 319 miles of range on front-wheel drive, 307 on available all-wheel drive. Every figure below is dated and sourced, and every table says which car it describes. See the 2027 Equinox overview for what’s new this year and all six trims compared for pricing and step-up economics. Shoppers cross-shopping the two nameplates from the same driveway usually land on one question first: whether the gas car’s fuel tank or the EV’s charge cycle actually fits their daily commute.
Key Numbers
The gas Equinox and the Equinox EV do not share a drivetrain, a transmission, or a charging port. They share a name and a dealership.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5L Turbo four-cylinder |
| Horsepower | 175 hp at 5,600 rpm |
| Torque | 203 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic, standard on front- and all-wheel drive |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive standard; all-wheel drive available on every trim |
| Final drive ratio | 3.47 |
| Fuel | Regular unleaded, E15 capable |
| Suspension | MacPherson strut front, 4-link rear, four-wheel independent |
| Brakes | Four-wheel antilock disc, FNC-coated rotors |
| Drive modes / stop-start | Drive Mode Selector and Automatic Stop/Start, both standard |
All-wheel drive adds about $2,000 (MSRP) over the same trim in front-wheel drive across the gas lineup.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Transmission | Single-speed direct drive |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive standard; all-wheel drive available |
| Suspension | Four-wheel independent |
Charging specifications for the Equinox EV appear in Fuel Economy, Range, and Charging below.
| Dimension | Equinox | Equinox EV |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 183.2 in | 190.6 in |
| Width, without mirrors | 74.9 in | 76.9 in |
| Height | 65.6 in | 64.8 in |
| Wheelbase | 107.5 in | 116.3 in |
| Ground clearance | 8.08 in | 6.4 in |
The Equinox EV widens to 84.9 inches across the mirrors, and its wheelbase runs 8.8 inches longer than the gas car’s, most of that extra length showing up as rear-seat and cargo room rather than overhang. On the gas Equinox, curb weight starts at 3,428 pounds (LT, front-wheel drive) and climbs from there by drive type, trim and equipment; GVWR on that same LT front-wheel-drive build is 4,850 pounds. Gas Equinox track width is 63.8 inches front, 63.9 inches rear. Both nameplates are assembled in Mexico.
| Measurement | Equinox | Equinox EV |
|---|---|---|
| Seating | 5 | 5 |
| Front headroom / legroom / shoulder room | 40.0 / 40.9 / 57.7 in | 39.2 / 41.7 / 58.6 in |
| Rear headroom / legroom / shoulder room | 39.2 / 39.9 / 55.8 in | 38.5 / 38.0 / 55.5 in |
| Cargo behind 2nd row | 29.8 cu ft | 26.4 cu ft |
| Cargo, rear seats folded | 63.5 cu ft | 57.2 cu ft |
Total passenger volume on the gas Equinox is 104.3 cubic feet, with 54.2 inches of front hip room. The gas car gives up a little rear legroom to the EV’s longer wheelbase but leads it on cargo at both measurements, worth knowing before a Moorestown Mall or Cherry Hill Mall run turns into a second trip.
Wheel sizing steps up with the trim ladder on both nameplates, from the LT’s 17-inch painted alloy wheel to the EV RS’s 21-inch Black wheel. ACTIV is the one gas trim built around a specific tire, not just a wheel size: its all-terrain tires and uniquely tuned suspension are the parts of the trim’s off-pavement pitch that show up in this table, separate from the styling changes covered under Key Features by Trim below.
| Nameplate / trim | Wheels | Tires / brakes |
|---|---|---|
| Equinox LT | 17 x 7.0 in. painted alloy, standard | Four-wheel antilock disc, FNC-coated rotors, standard on every gas trim; all-terrain tires standard on ACTIV |
| Equinox RS | 19-in. standard; 20-in. machined available | |
| Equinox ACTIV | All-terrain tires, standard | |
| Equinox EV LT 1 / LT 2 | 19-in. machined-face aluminum, standard | 21-in. aluminum wheels available lineup-wide; neither nameplate carries a spare, both use a tire inflator kit |
| Equinox EV RS | 21-in. Black wheels, standard |
The gas Equinox and the Equinox EV are measured on two different EPA scales, mpg against MPGe, so the table below states both by drivetrain rather than picking one comparison number.
| Configuration | City | Highway | Combined | Total range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equinox, front-wheel drive | 25 mpg | 29 mpg | 27 mpg | 400 mi |
| Equinox, all-wheel drive | 25 mpg | 29 mpg | 26 mpg | 406 mi |
| Equinox EV, all-wheel drive | 112 MPGe | 95 MPGe | 103 MPGe | 307 mi |
Source: fueleconomy.gov. Front-wheel-drive Equinox EV models add an EPA-estimated 319 miles of total range, the headline figure for the nameplate. The all-wheel-drive Equinox EV uses 33 kWh per 100 miles.
The Equinox EV charges through a standard NACS port and an 11.5-kW-capable onboard charging module. A 240-volt home charger fills the battery in about 9.5 hours, an overnight cycle for most Burlington County garages, and public DC fast charging adds up to 80 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes on Chevrolet’s network of more than 250,000 public chargers. DC fast charging and the NACS port are Equinox EV features only: the gas Equinox carries a 14.8-gallon tank and fills at any regular-unleaded pump, not a charger, and neither car substitutes for the other’s fueling method. A household running an Equinox EV on the Route 130 / I-295 commute can cover most weeks on the home charger alone at 307-319 miles of range; the public DC network is the road-trip and top-up option, not the daily one. Federal EV tax-credit amounts move often enough that Lucas Chevrolet’s sales team confirms the current figure at the time of purchase.
The screen size alone is the fastest tell between the two lineups: 11.3 inches on every gas trim, 17.7 inches on every EV trim. The signature equipment column below is what actually separates one trim from its neighbor.
| Trim | Touchscreen | Signature equipment | Starting MSRP, excl. destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equinox LT | 11.3 in. | 1.5L Turbo engine; heated front seats and steering wheel; available HD Surround Vision | $29,000 MSRP |
| Equinox RS | 11.3 in. | Black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging; flat-bottom steering wheel; available two-tone Black roof | $33,900 MSRP |
| Equinox ACTIV | 11.3 in. | All-terrain tires; uniquely tuned suspension; Evotex and sueded microfiber seating; available two-tone white roof | $33,900 MSRP |
| Equinox EV LT 1 | 17.7 in. | 319-mile EPA-estimated range (FWD); 20+ standard safety and driver-assistance features, including Adaptive Cruise Control | $34,995 MSRP |
| Equinox EV LT 2 | 17.7 in. | Heated steering wheel, front seats and mirrors; HD Surround Vision; wireless phone charging | $41,795 MSRP |
| Equinox EV RS | 17.7 in. | Unique front and rear fascias; Black exterior accents; flat-bottom steering wheel; 21-in. Black wheels | $44,095 MSRP |
Every MSRP above excludes destination: $1,995 on the gas Equinox, $1,800 on the Equinox EV, and neither figure is interchangeable with the other. All-wheel drive is about a $2,000 MSRP option on every gas trim. See All Trims Compared for the full per-trim breakdown and step-up math.
Gas LT is the entry point of the whole lineup at $29,000 MSRP; the Equinox EV’s LT 1 starts about $6,000 higher before incentives, and buys a bigger screen, a longer wheelbase and 20+ standard driver-assistance features in exchange. Neither is the “upgrade” version of the other: a buyer with a 240-volt outlet on a Burlington driveway and a buyer who fuels up on the way to Route 38 anyway are choosing between two different ownership routines, not two trims of the same car.
Both nameplates are assembled in Mexico and both carry a full driver-assistance suite, though not the same suite: the Equinox EV’s hands-free Super Cruise has no gas-Equinox counterpart for 2027. Every feature below sits in one of three jobs, braking and collision avoidance, lane and distance awareness, or visibility, and the gas Equinox’s six standard features are the package Chevrolet sells as Chevy Safety Assist, and the Equinox EV’s broader count, more than 20 standard features against the gas car’s 15-plus, is Adaptive Cruise Control’s baseline: standard on every EV trim, available only on the gas lineup.
| Nameplate | Category | Feature | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas Equinox (Chevy Safety Assist + available) |
Braking and collision avoidance | Automatic Emergency Braking | Standard |
| Braking and collision avoidance | Front Pedestrian Braking | Standard | |
| Braking and collision avoidance | Forward Collision Alert | Standard | |
| Lane and distance awareness | Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning | Standard | |
| Lane and distance awareness | Following Distance Indicator | Standard | |
| Visibility | IntelliBeam automatic high beams | Standard | |
| Gas Equinox (available) |
Visibility | HD Surround Vision | Available |
| Braking and collision avoidance | Side Bicyclist Alert | Available | |
| Visibility | Rear Camera Mirror | Available | |
| Braking and collision avoidance | Rear Cross Traffic Braking | Available | |
| Equinox EV | Suite scope | Standard safety and driver-assistance features | Over 20, versus 15+ on the gas lineup |
| Lane and distance awareness | Adaptive Cruise Control | Standard | |
| Hands-free driver assistance | Super Cruise | Available; Equinox EV exclusive for 2027 |
| Coverage | Gas Equinox | Equinox EV |
|---|---|---|
| Bumper-to-bumper limited | 3 years / 36,000 miles, both nameplates | |
| Powertrain / battery coverage | Powertrain: 5 years / 60,000 miles | Battery and electric components: 8 years / 100,000 miles |
| Corrosion / rust-through | 3 years / 36,000 miles; rust-through 6 years / 100,000 miles, both nameplates | |
| Roadside assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles | 5 years / 60,000 miles; towing 8 years / 100,000 miles |
| Scheduled maintenance | 1 visit included, first visit at 12 months / 12,000 miles, both nameplates | |

A width or a range figure only matters once it is measured against something a driver actually does: a garage door, a commute, a trailer.
| This number | What it means day to day |
|---|---|
| 74.9 in. / 76.9 in. wide, without mirrors | Both clear a standard single-car garage door on a Marlton driveway; the EV needs a little more side clearance backing out. |
| 183.2 in. / 190.6 in. long | Either fits a standard retail parking spot off Route 38; the gas Equinox leaves close to a foot of slack in a compact space, the EV closer to 6 inches. |
| 8.08 in. of ground clearance (gas) | Enough for the gravel lot and access road at Rancocas State Park in Westampton, not for anything rated off-road. |
| 63.5 cu ft cargo, rear seats folded (gas) | A full Cherry Hill Mall haul, or a Costco run, without folding anything down to a single row. |
| 400-406 mi total range (gas) | Covers the I-295 commute between Mount Laurel and Bordentown for close to two weeks between fill-ups. |
| 307-319 mi EV range, 9.5-hr home charge | A Willingboro, Delran or Cinnaminson household plugging in overnight rarely needs a public charger for weekday driving. |
| 1,500 lbs towing, properly equipped (gas, AWD only) | A small utility trailer or personal watercraft to Laurel Acres Park or Long Bridge Park in Hainesport. Front-wheel-drive Equinox models are not rated to tow. |
183.2 inches on a 107.5-inch wheelbase. The Equinox EV is longer at 190.6 inches on a 116.3-inch wheelbase.
Up to 1,500 pounds, properly equipped, on the gas Equinox. The rating requires the 1.5L Turbo engine and all-wheel drive, so a front-wheel-drive Equinox is not rated to tow. The Equinox EV is also rated up to 1,500 pounds, properly equipped.
The gas Equinox holds 29.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 63.5 cubic feet with them folded. The Equinox EV holds 26.4 and 57.2 cubic feet at the same two measurements, less than the gas car at both points.
319 miles on front-wheel-drive models and 307 miles on available all-wheel-drive models, per fueleconomy.gov. The two figures are not interchangeable: an all-wheel-drive Equinox EV will not reach the front-wheel-drive number.
About 9.5 hours for a full charge on a 240-volt home charger. Public DC fast charging adds up to 80 miles of range in about 10 minutes on Chevrolet’s network of 250,000-plus public chargers.
Only the Equinox EV offers Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance technology, and it is available rather than standard. The gas Equinox does not offer Super Cruise for 2027, so a shopper who wants hands-free highway driving on this nameplate needs the electric model, not a higher gas trim.
8.08 inches on the gas Equinox and 6.4 inches on the Equinox EV.
The gas Equinox starts at 3,428 pounds (LT, front-wheel drive) and runs higher depending on drive type, trim and equipment. GVWR on that same LT front-wheel-drive build is 4,850 pounds.
8 years or 100,000 miles on the battery and electric components, separate from the 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage both nameplates share.
11.3 inches on every gas Equinox trim. The Equinox EV steps up to a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, the largest in its EV class, plus an 11-inch Driver Information Center.
Neither the gas Equinox nor the Equinox EV carries a spare tire. Both ship with a tire inflator kit instead.
Up to 1,500 pounds, properly equipped, the same rating as the gas Equinox, on any Equinox EV trim.
A 240-volt home charger connected through the car’s standard NACS port, the setup behind the roughly 9.5-hour full-charge time. The onboard charging module is rated at 11.5 kW.
