2027 Equinox Trims
Compare all six 2027 Equinox and Equinox EV trims, from the $29,000 LT to the $44,095 EV RS, on equipment and drivetrain for South Jersey shoppers at Lucas Chevrolet.
For South Jersey drivers the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox name covers six trims in total. Gas side: LT, RS, ACTIV. All-electric Equinox EV side: LT 1, LT 2, RS. Pricing spans $29,000 to $44,095 before destination. The choice comes down to two questions: gas or electric first, then, on the gas side, two trims that cost exactly the same money and want completely different weekends.
At 1622 Route 38, Lucas Chevrolet has both gas and electric trim choices in stock. Below: every trim at a glance, a full breakdown of each one, a side-by-side matrix, the pairings South Jersey shoppers ask about most, and a step-up guide that names who each rung is for.
Quick Answer
All six 2027 Equinox trims fall in one price band before destination, from the $29,000 gas LT to the $44,095 Equinox EV RS, so the real decision is equipment and powertrain, not budget.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | Snapshot |
|---|---|---|
| Gas LT | $29,000 | 11.3-inch touchscreen, heated front seats and heated steering wheel |
| Gas RS | $33,900 | The blacked-out street look |
| Gas ACTIV | $33,900 | All-terrain tires and a retuned suspension |
| Equinox EV LT 1 | $34,995 | 319 miles EPA-estimated range, the longest in the lineup |
| Equinox EV LT 2 | $41,795 | The comfort and convenience step |
| Equinox EV RS | $44,095 | 21-inch wheels, unique fascias and available Super Cruise |
For a purchase at Lucas Chevrolet, add the separate freight amount to the listed trim MSRP: gas models carry $1,995 and electric models $1,800. Prices are subject to change.
LT is the value leader at $29,000, and its standard list runs deep enough that a buyer rarely feels shortchanged. The full Chevy Safety Assist suite comes on every gas trim from here up (automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, forward collision alert, following distance indicator and IntelliBeam), paired on LT with a heated steering wheel and heated front seats for the first cold snap, plus the 11.3-inch Google-built-in touchscreen. The 175-hp 1.5L Turbo four and 8-speed automatic carry through the whole gas lineup; LT ships front-wheel drive, with $2,000 buying all-wheel drive here, on RS, or on ACTIV. Available HD Surround Vision rides on standard 17×7.0-inch painted alloy wheels. On a Route 541 commute, LT suits drivers who value cabin warmth and navigation access more than black exterior accents.
RS carries the same 175-hp 1.5L Turbo, 8-speed automatic, and $2,000 AWD option as the LT. Presence is what the extra money buys: black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging, 19-inch wheels as standard with 20-inch machined wheels on the options list, a two-tone black roof available, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
ACTIV matches the RS on price and takes a completely different approach to the money: all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, and an available two-tone white roof. The powertrain is unchanged from the LT and RS. Who it’s for: gravel driveways, a boat-ramp approach along the Delaware, and anyone who wants winter footing without swapping tires twice a year.
LT 1 leads the electric lineup on range: front-wheel drive and an EPA-estimated 319 miles, the longest figure Lucas offers on this nameplate (see fueleconomy.gov ). Standard equipment runs deep for a base trim: over 20 driver-assistance features including Adaptive Cruise Control, the 17.7-inch center touchscreen, an 11-inch Driver Information Center, Google built-in, and 19-inch machined-face aluminum wheels. Charging runs through the standard NACS port, with up to 80 miles of range added in 10 minutes on public DC fast charging and an 11.5-kW onboard charger for home use. For Moorestown households with overnight charging, LT 1 prioritizes electric range over heated-seat upgrades.
LT 2 adds the comfort layer on top of LT 1: a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, heated mirrors, HD Surround Vision, and wireless phone charging. All-wheel drive becomes available at this trim, which brings EPA-estimated range down to 307 miles. Who it’s for: anyone who wants electric drive without giving up the equipment a gas SUV would carry at this money.
Everything on LT 2 carries into the RS at the top of the electric lineup, joined by black exterior accents, unique front and rear fascias, 21-inch black wheels and a flat-bottom steering wheel. The illuminated front-center bar also links the two upper electric trims visually when comparing them at Lucas Chevrolet. Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is an option at the top of the range only, meaning LT 2 and RS. Cherry Hill shoppers who favor dark exterior details and larger wheels can make those preferences the reason to choose RS.
One table, six trims: pricing, powertrain, drivetrain, standard equipment, screen size, tow rating and seating side by side.
| Trim | MSRP | Powertrain | Drivetrain | Key standard equipment | Screen | Max tow, properly equipped* | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas LT | $29,000 | 1.5L Turbo, 175 hp | FWD std, AWD +$2,000 | 17-in alloy wheels, heated front seats/wheel, Chevy Safety Assist | 11.3-inch | 1,500 lbs* | 5 |
| Gas RS | $33,900 | 1.5L Turbo, 175 hp | FWD std, AWD +$2,000 | 19-in wheels (20-in available), black exterior trim | 11.3-inch | 1,500 lbs* | 5 |
| Gas ACTIV | $33,900 | 1.5L Turbo, 175 hp | FWD std, AWD +$2,000 | All-terrain tires, retuned suspension, Evotex/microfiber seating | 11.3-inch | 1,500 lbs* | 5 |
| EV LT 1 | $34,995 | Electric, single-speed direct drive | FWD std, AWD available | 19-in machined wheels, 20+ driver-assist features, NACS port | 17.7-inch | 1,500 lbs | 5 |
| EV LT 2 | $41,795 | Electric, single-speed direct drive | FWD std, AWD available | Heated wheel/front seats/mirrors, wireless phone charging, HD Surround Vision | 17.7-inch | 1,500 lbs | 5 |
| EV RS | $44,095 | Electric, single-speed direct drive | FWD std, AWD available | 21-in black wheels, unique fascias, available Super Cruise | 17.7-inch | 1,500 lbs | 5 |
*Every 2027 gas Equinox trim can tow up to 1,500 lbs when properly equipped, achieved specifically with the 1.5L Turbo engine (standard across the lineup) and all-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive Equinox EV models are EPA-estimated at 307 miles of range rather than 319; see fueleconomy.gov .
The question we hear most, because the two trims cost the same to the dollar. ACTIV puts the identical money into hardware you feel on the road, with all-terrain tires and a suspension tuned to match them, plus Evotex and sueded microfiber inside. Neither one is the “better” trim. What settles it is where the car spends its weekends: take the RS if that is paved and visible, the ACTIV if it is gravel, ramps and unpaved shoulders.
A $4,900 step that changes how the car looks, not how it drives, since the powertrain is identical. LT already carries the heated front seats, the heated wheel and the 11.3-inch screen, so RS money goes on the black exterior treatment, standard roof rails, bigger wheels, the two-tone roof option and the flat-bottom steering wheel.
The starting-price difference between gas LT and EV LT 1 is $5,995 before their separate destination charges.
The step is $6,800, and it buys a comfort layer rather than any change in range or performance: heated front seats, a heated wheel, heated mirrors, HD Surround Vision and wireless phone charging. Range holds at 319 miles front-drive on both trims. Take LT 2 if heated everything is something you’ll use daily each winter; LT 1 delivers the identical drive and the identical range for less.
Value verdict
Most households never outgrow the gas LT, which is why it is the volume trim: at $29,000 the 11.3-inch screen, heated front seats and a heated wheel are already standard. Want the look? RS. Want the footing? ACTIV. Have overnight charging? Equinox EV LT 1, since the 319-mile figure belongs to that trim.
| Step | Price difference | What it adds | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT to RS | +$4,900 | Black exterior trim, bigger wheels, flat-bottom wheel, two-tone roof option | The buyer who wants presence |
| LT to ACTIV | +$4,900 | All-terrain tires, retuned suspension, Evotex/sueded microfiber seating | Gravel, ramps, winter footing |
| RS to ACTIV | Same price | A different intent at identical money, not a higher rung | Surface over styling |
| Any gas trim to AWD | +$2,000 | All-wheel drive; EPA-estimated combined economy moves from 27 to 26 mpg | Icy roads and unpaved shoulders |
| Gas LT to EV LT 1 | +$5,995 | 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, 17.7-inch screen, 20+ driver-assist features, NACS charging | Home or work charging available |
| EV LT 1 to LT 2 | +$6,800 | Heated wheel, front seats and mirrors, wireless phone charging, HD Surround Vision | Daily comfort equipment |
| EV LT 2 to RS | +$2,300 | Unique fascias, black accents, 21-in wheels, available Super Cruise | The electric flagship, hands-free capable |

Six trims sort into six clear buyer types, from the lowest payment to the longest highway drive.
Gas LT front-wheel drive at $29,000, and it isn’t a stripped-down base: heated front seats, a heated wheel, the big screen and the full safety suite are standard.
ACTIV with all-wheel drive at $35,900, riding on its all-terrain tires and matched suspension tune.
A Moorestown household with overnight parking can start with the $34,995 electric LT 1; the $41,795 LT 2 makes sense when heated mirrors, seat heat and wireless charging matter.
Consider the two upper electric trims for your Turnpike commute. Super Cruise is available there, which puts hands-free highway driving on the table.
Gas RS at $33,900 for the blacked-out look, or EV RS at $44,095 on 21-inch black wheels.
The gas Equinox reaches up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped with all-wheel drive. The EV has a separately scoped model maximum of 1,500 pounds. Have Lucas verify the selected vehicle’s equipment and rating against the loaded trailer instead of inferring towing suitability from the Equinox name or the trim badge.
Lucas Chevrolet stocks the full six-trim 2027 Equinox lineup, from the $29,000 gas LT to the $44,095 Equinox EV RS.
Lucas Chevrolet offers the six-trim Equinox and Equinox EV selection in Lumberton. LT, RS and ACTIV belong to the gas vehicle, while LT 1, LT 2 and RS form the electric ladder.
There are six trims across the two Equinox nameplates: LT, RS and ACTIV for gas, plus LT 1, LT 2 and RS for the EV. Choose the propulsion layout before comparing equipment at Lucas. Shared trim letters do not mean the gas and electric vehicles have the same hardware or ownership routine.
Gas RS and ACTIV share a starting MSRP of $33,900 before destination. RS emphasizes black exterior trim and larger wheels, while ACTIV adds all-terrain tires, a distinct suspension tune and its seating treatment.
All-wheel drive adds $2,000 to a gas Equinox trim before other equipment and fees. That puts LT AWD at $31,000 and RS or ACTIV AWD at $35,900 before destination. Verify the drivetrain on the selected Lucas vehicle, especially because the gas model’s maximum towing figure requires all-wheel drive.
The Equinox EV reaches an EPA-estimated 319 miles with front-wheel drive; the all-wheel-drive figure is 307 miles. LT 1 offers the front-drive rating at the electric lineup’s entry point.
Yes, every gas Equinox trim uses the 175-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic. LT, RS and ACTIV differ in equipment and appearance rather than engine output. Compare their actual drivetrain and options at Lucas; the electric Equinox is a separate propulsion choice with its own trim ladder.
Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on every gas Equinox trim, starting with LT. On the EV ladder, heated comfort equipment starts with LT 2.
No, the gas Equinox does not offer Super Cruise for 2027. Available hands-free assistance belongs to the Equinox EV, so identify an equipped electric example at Lucas if that feature matters.
Lucas can review the exact Equinox trim and equipment you want and compare the in-stock gas and electric choices. Contact the team with the nameplate, drivetrain and features that matter before visiting Lumberton.
