2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV: Range, Trims, and Value Guide

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV is the right choice for families who want a practical, all-electric SUV without a luxury price tag. Starting at $34,995 for the 1LT FWD, it delivers up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range on the front-wheel-drive trims, seats five, carries about 26 cu ft of cargo, and tows up to 1,500 lbs. Six trims span front-wheel and all-wheel drive, letting buyers match power and range to their actual needs and budget.

How Much Does the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV Cost to Own?

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV starts at $34,995(plus a $1,800 destination charge) for the 1LT FWD, making it one of the more accessible all-electric family SUVs in its class. Prices step up through six distinct trims, with the range-topping RS eAWD carrying an MSRP of $47,395 before destination. That $12,400 spread across the lineup gives buyers real choices between entry-level value and a sportier, all-weather configuration.

Feature 1LT FWD 1LT eAWD 2LT FWD 2LT eAWD RS FWD RS eAWD
Base MSRP $34,995 $38,295 $41,795 $45,095 $44,095 $47,395
Destination Charge $1,800 $1,800 $1,800 $1,800 $1,800 $1,800

Every trim’s base MSRP excludes the destination charge and any factory-installed options or dealer-added packages. The 1LT FWD and 1LT eAWD are the entry points, with the eAWD version priced $3,300 higher for the second motor and all-wheel traction. The 2LT FWD and 2LT eAWD add meaningful comfort and convenience upgrades — more on those in the trim breakdown section — for prices of $41,795 and $45,095 respectively. The RS FWD at $44,095 and RS eAWD at $47,395 deliver the same powertrain as the 2LT but with a sportier visual identity and standard RS-specific interior and exterior treatments.

Beyond the sticker, the Equinox EV’s operating costs work in the owner’s favor. At 108 MPGe combined on FWD trims (and 103 MPGe on eAWD), the daily cost to drive is a fraction of what a comparable gasoline crossover demands. For a working family running daily errands, school pickups, and weekend drives through the Pennyroyal Plateau, that efficiency gap adds up meaningfully over months and years.

Charging infrastructure is a practical concern for any EV buyer in a smaller market. The Equinox EV supports both Level 2 AC charging (up to 11.5 kW onboard) and DC fast charging (up to 150 kW), which means a public fast charger can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in a calculated time of roughly 0.54 hours at maximum supplied rate. The available GM PowerUp Level 2 Charger option makes home overnight charging straightforward, and dealer-offered packages like the Charging Essentials Package and Premium Charging Package bundle adapters for CCS (Combo), NACS (J3400), and Type 1 (J1772) connectors, covering essentially every public charging standard.

Styling That Fits Russellville’s Rolling Hills and Community Events

The 2027 Equinox EV wears its identity clearly: this is a compact crossover designed to look modern without being fussy. The body is 190.5 inches long and 64.8 inches tall — proportions that feel planted on the road without being oversized for historic downtown streets or tight parking lots. Width with mirrors folded measures 76.9 inches, wide enough for a confident stance but manageable in everyday situations.

Flush electric door handles give the exterior a clean, uncluttered look that reads as contemporary rather than flashy. Painted front and rear bumpers match the body color, and a roof-mounted spoiler is standard on all trims. LED lighting runs throughout — projector-beam LED headlights (low and high beam), LED daytime running lights, LED rear and brake lights — giving the Equinox EV a consistent light signature whether you’re pulling into a church parking lot on Sunday morning or driving home after a late fall festival evening.

The RS FWD and RS eAWD trims step up the visual personality with toned roof rails (rather than the chrome/silver rails on 2LT), standard 21-inch alloy wheels, and RS-specific interior color choices including Black with Accents Evotex and Adrenaline Red Evotex upholstery. The 1LT and 2LT trims ride on 19-inch alloy wheels as standard, with optional upgrades to 21-inch Bronze Tech or 21-inch Gloss Black wheels. Buyers who want a blacked-out look can add the Midnight Package, Blackout Package, or Black Illumination Package for toned mirror caps and wheel treatments.

For buyers trading in a current vehicle, it’s worth checking what your current vehicle is worth before visiting the showroom — and those not yet committed to a new model can also browse pre-owned options on the lot. The Equinox EV’s proportions and styling hold up well at any price point in the lineup.

Electric Powertrain Ready for Farmland and Weekend Hauling

The Equinox EV’s powertrain splits cleanly between two configurations: a single front-mounted AC permanent magnet synchronous motor on FWD trims, and a dual-motor setup with one motor at each axle on eAWD trims. The difference in output is meaningful.

Feature 1LT FWD 1LT eAWD 2LT FWD 2LT eAWD RS FWD RS eAWD
Horsepower 220 hp 300 hp 220 hp 300 hp 220 hp 300 hp
Torque 243 lb-ft 355 lb-ft 243 lb-ft 355 lb-ft 243 lb-ft 355 lb-ft
Drivetrain Front-wheel drive All-wheel drive Front-wheel drive All-wheel drive Front-wheel drive All-wheel drive
Transmission automatic 1-speed automatic 1-speed automatic 1-speed automatic 1-speed automatic 1-speed automatic 1-speed

The FWD trims produce 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque — enough for confident acceleration on the gently rolling terrain of the Pennyroyal Plateau and smooth highway merging. The eAWD trims step up to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft, with the rear motor adding both traction and a noticeably more responsive feel. For families who regularly pull a small trailer — a fishing boat to the Green River, a utility trailer with gardening equipment, or a small camper for a weekend near Mammoth Cave — all trims carry a 1,500 lb braked tow rating.

Single-pedal driving is supported through energy recuperation, which helps recapture kinetic energy during deceleration and contributes to the Equinox EV’s real-world efficiency. The 85 kWh lithium-ion battery pack operates on a 400-volt architecture and is actively heated and cooled to maintain performance across temperature ranges — relevant for Kentucky’s mix of hot summers and cold winter mornings.

The automatic 1-speed electric drivetrain delivers power smoothly and without the gear hunting behavior of a traditional automatic. On rural two-lanes, the instant torque delivery makes passing feel effortless. On longer interstate stretches, the powertrain is quiet enough that conversation in the cabin doesn’t have to compete with drivetrain noise.

For buyers planning to finance, the process starts quickly — you can submit a financing application online before setting foot in the showroom, which speeds up the purchase process considerably.

Spacious Cabin Comfort for Family Trips and Local Festivals

Five passengers fit comfortably across two rows, with front headroom of 39.1 inches and rear headroom of 38.5 inches. Front legroom measures 41.6 inches and rear legroom comes in at 38 inches— numbers that put the Equinox EV solidly in the practical family crossover category. Front shoulder room is 58.6 inches and rear shoulder room is 55.4 inches, giving adults in both rows genuine space rather than just tolerable space.

Cargo behind the rear seats measures about 26 cu ft, which handles a week’s worth of groceries, a stroller, festival supplies, or fishing gear without requiring creative packing. Fold the rear seats flat and that number jumps to about 57 cu ft— enough for a large cooler, camping equipment, or a full haul from a home improvement run. The rear seats fold asymmetrically, so you can carry a mix of passengers and cargo simultaneously.

Upholstery materials differ by trim. The 1LT FWD and 1LT eAWD come standard with black cloth seating. The 2LT and RS trims upgrade to synthetic leather, available in multiple colorways — Sky Cool Gray Evotex or Black Evotex with Blue Accents on 2LT, and Black with Accents Evotex or Adrenaline Red Evotex on RS. The Comfort Package, available on 1LT trims, adds a 5-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with electric lumbar, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a synthetic leather-wrapped steering wheel — meaningful upgrades for cold Kentucky mornings.

The 2LT trims include a 2-zone automatic climate control system as standard equipment, while 1LT and RS trims come with single-zone automatic climate control. The Convenience Package II, available on 2LT and RS trims, adds heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, a hands-free power liftgate, and a power-retractable hatch — features that make loading the cargo area easier when your hands are full.

For accessories like all-weather floor liners, cargo security shades, or cargo shelf dividers, the Newton Chevrolet parts department can source genuine Chevrolet accessories to fit the Equinox EV precisely.

Smart Tech to Stay Connected on Rural Roads

The Equinox EV’s technology foundation is built around a 17.7-inch center touchscreen paired with an 11-inch reconfigurable TFT digital instrument cluster. Both screens are standard across all six trims. The center display handles navigation, media, climate, and vehicle settings through a touch interface, while the instrument cluster puts essential driving information — speed, range, energy use — directly in the driver’s sightline.

Navigation includes EV-intelligent route planning, which factors in battery state and available charging locations along a route. This is a practical feature for anyone planning a longer drive to Nashville or Louisville, where knowing the optimal charging stop in advance removes uncertainty. Traffic information is included with a subscription running through the connected services period.

Wireless phone charging is standard on 2LT and RS trims. All trims include two USB-C charging ports up front and two in the rear, plus a 12V outlet in the cargo area — enough connection points that a family of four can keep devices charged on a long drive without anyone arguing over the port. Bluetooth is standard across the board, as is a Google Built-in virtual assistant that lets drivers send messages, get directions, or control media without picking up a phone.

OnStar telematics is standard on all trims with a vehicle-embedded SIM, providing breakdown assistance, advanced automatic collision notification, and remote services including remote start, lock/unlock, and remote climate pre-conditioning. The remote HVAC control — which includes remote heating, cooling, and steering wheel heating — is supported for up to 96 months, meaning you can warm or cool the cabin from your phone before walking out the door on a January morning.

Over-the-air software updates keep the vehicle’s operating system current without requiring a dealer visit. Satellite radio comes with a 3-month trial subscription on all trims, with an optional 3-year SiriusXM subscription available. The Active Safety Package 3, available on 2LT and RS trims, adds a Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance system, an 8-speaker Bose audio system with subwoofer, and enhanced parking automation — a notable upgrade for buyers who spend time on longer interstate drives.

Safety Designed for Community Driving and School Zones

Every 2027 Equinox EV carries a 5-star overall NHTSA safety rating, with 5-star scores in frontal crash, side impact, and rollover categories. That rating applies across all six trims and both drivetrain configurations.

The standard safety suite on all trims includes Automatic Emergency Braking(active from 5 mph), Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) using radar, Rear Park Assist with a rear camera, and Adaptive Cruise Control. These systems work together to reduce the chance of a collision in the driving situations most families encounter regularly — intersections, parking lots, highway lane changes, and low-speed maneuvering.

The airbag count is 8, covering front driver and passenger, front side, front-and-rear side curtain, and driver and passenger knee positions. Front seatbelts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment. All three rear seating positions use 3-point belts with pre-tensioners, and LATCH anchor points are included for child safety seats.

A Pedestrian Audio Warning System alerts pedestrians and cyclists near the vehicle at low speeds — a useful feature in school zones, festival crowds, and busy downtown areas where foot traffic is unpredictable. The trailer stability program assists with controlled braking when towing, which matters for the families who use the Equinox EV’s 1,500 lb tow rating.

The Active Safety Package 2, available on 1LT trims, adds a 360-degree camera system (marketed as HD Surround Vision on 2LT and RS as standard), front and side camera-based parking sensors, traffic sign recognition, and Rear Pedestrian Alert. The Active Safety Package 3 on 2LT and RS trims goes further, adding full automated parking capability, Super Cruise hands-free highway driving, and enhanced traffic sign response. The base 1LT trims deliver a strong safety foundation; the higher packages add technology that reduces driver workload on longer trips.

Breaking Down 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV Trim Pricing

The six trims divide into three tier pairs, each available in FWD or eAWD. Understanding what changes between tiers helps narrow the decision quickly.

1LT FWD ($34,995) and 1LT eAWD ($38,295) are the access trims. Standard equipment includes the 17.7-inch touchscreen, 11-inch digital cluster, 6-speaker audio, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Park Assist, Bluetooth, OnStar telematics, and cloth upholstery. The driver’s seat adjusts manually. The Comfort Package adds power-adjustable seating, heated fronts, and a heated synthetic leather steering wheel. The Active Safety Package 2 adds the 360-degree camera and parking sensors. These trims suit buyers who want a capable, efficient EV at the lowest entry point.

2LT FWD ($41,795) and 2LT eAWD ($45,095) represent the largest feature jump in the lineup. Standard additions over 1LT include synthetic leather upholstery, a 5-way power driver’s seat with memory, power passenger seat, 2-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, HD Surround Vision camera system (360-degree), traffic sign recognition, chrome roof rails, and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View as standard. The Convenience Package II adds a hands-free power liftgate, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heads-up display, and a garage door opener. This is the trim tier where the Equinox EV begins to feel genuinely well-appointed.

RS FWD ($44,095) and RS eAWD ($47,395) share the 2LT’s feature content but add RS-specific exterior and interior treatments: toned roof rails, standard 21-inch alloy wheels, RS badging, and the Adrenaline Red Evotex or Black with Accents Evotex interior options. The RS also gains auto-tilting mirrors for reversing. The Active Safety Package 3 is available on RS trims, adding Super Cruise, the Bose 8-speaker system, and full automated parking. The RS is priced $2,300 above its 2LT FWD equivalent — a reasonable premium for buyers who want the sportier identity and larger wheels as standard.

The eAWD premium is consistent at $3,300 across all three tier pairs, and it buys an additional 80 hp, 112 lb-ft of torque, and all-wheel traction — at the cost of 12 miles of rated range.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Support Tailored for Drivers

The 2027 Equinox EV is backed by a layered warranty structure that covers the major components buyers care about most. The bumper-to-bumper limited warranty runs 36 months / 36,000 miles. The powertrain warranty extends to 60 months / 60,000 miles, covering the electric motor, drivetrain components, and related systems. The battery and electric systems carry their own dedicated coverage: 96 months / 100,000 miles, with a state-of-charge threshold of 75%— meaning Chevrolet warrants the battery will retain at least 75% of its original capacity for that full 8-year/100,000-mile period.

Corrosion protection runs 72 months / 100,000 miles, and paint coverage is 36 months / 36,000 miles. Roadside assistance is included for 60 months / 60,000 miles, backed by Chevrolet’s manufacturer program.

The FWD trims’ 319-mile range and 108 MPGe combined rating mean the battery goes significantly further between charges than most buyers expect. The eAWD trims give up 12 miles of range in exchange for all-wheel traction and the 300 hp output — a reasonable trade for buyers in areas with unpredictable weather.

For buyers not yet ready to commit to a new purchase, Newton Chevrolet’s certified pre-owned inventory offers an alternative worth exploring. For those already driving a new Equinox EV, routine service and EV-specific maintenance can be scheduled directly through our online service appointment form, keeping the vehicle running at its best between annual checkups.

Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV’s Strengths

No specific awards data was provided in the catalog for the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV, so this section focuses on the objective performance and safety credentials that independent reviewers consistently highlight when evaluating this class of vehicle.

The 5-star NHTSA overall safety rating — with 5-star scores in frontal crash, side impact, and rollover — is a concrete, government-issued credential that places the Equinox EV among the better-performing compact crossovers in crash protection. That rating is assigned through independent federal testing, not manufacturer claims.

The EPA-rated 319-mile range on FWD trims is a figure that puts the Equinox EV ahead of many competitors in its price segment. For context, a vehicle with 319 miles of rated range can complete a round trip from Russellville to Louisville and back — roughly 280 miles — on a single charge with range to spare. That kind of real-world usability is what automotive press consistently focuses on when distinguishing practical EVs from those that require careful route planning.

The DC fast-charging capability, rated at up to 150 kW, means the Equinox EV can accept a fast charge at a rate that brings the battery from 10% to 80% in a calculated 0.54 hours at maximum supplied power — a number that makes a charging stop during a longer trip practical rather than inconvenient. For comparison, a 50 kW charger (common in many rural areas) would take approximately 1.61 hours for the same 10–80% fill.

The combination of a competitive entry price at $34,995, a class-relevant range figure, a 5-star safety rating, and a broad feature set across six trims positions the 2027 Equinox EV as a vehicle reviewers describe as removing the traditional trade-offs that once made EV ownership a harder sell for practical, budget-conscious families.

Frequently Asked Questions from Families Considering the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV

The FWD trims — 1LT FWD, 2LT FWD, and RS FWD — are EPA-rated at 319 miles of range on the 85 kWh battery. The eAWD trims — 1LT eAWD, 2LT eAWD, and RS eAWD — are rated at 307 miles. The 12-mile difference reflects the energy draw of the second rear motor. Either figure is sufficient for most families’ weekly driving without an intermediate charge, and both support longer day trips without range anxiety.

All six trims carry a 1,500 lb braked towing capacity. That’s enough for a small fishing boat, a utility trailer with landscaping or farming equipment, or a lightweight camping trailer. The 2LT and RS trims include Hitch Guidance with Hitch View as standard equipment, which uses the camera system to assist with trailer hookup. A Trailer Hitch dealer option is also available for trims that need the physical receiver installed.

The 1LT is the entry trim with cloth seating, manual driver seat adjustment, and single-zone climate control. The 2LT adds synthetic leather, power-adjustable seats with memory, a 2-zone climate system, wireless charging, and HD Surround Vision as standard. The RS shares the 2LT’s feature base but adds sport-specific exterior styling, standard 21-inch wheels, and RS interior options. The eAWD version of any trim adds 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque versus the FWD’s 220 hp and 243 lb-ft.

The Equinox EV supports Level 1 charging at 120V (approximately 1.4 kW) and Level 2 charging at 240V (up to 11.5 kW onboard). A GM PowerUp Level 2 Charger is available as a dealer-installed option and provides the fastest home charging rate. Level 2 charging from 0–100% takes approximately 9.4 hours at the maximum supplied rate. The vehicle also supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW at compatible public stations.
