2027 Chevrolet Equinox Trims Guide: LT vs RS vs ACTIV
2027 Chevrolet Equinox Trims: LT vs RS vs ACTIV
Chevrolet offers the 2027 Equinox in three trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV. All three share the same 1.5L turbo engine, so the choice comes down to style, comfort, and how you use the SUV. Here is how to decide, based on what Chevrolet currently publishes.
| Trim | Best for | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| LT | Commuters and families who want the essentials done well | Heated front seats, heated steering wheel, 11.3-inch touchscreen, and available HD Surround Vision. Available in the new Autumn Harvest Metallic color. |
| RS | Drivers who want the sportiest look | Black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging, standard 19-inch machined wheels (20-inch available), a flat-bottom steering wheel, and an available two-tone black roof. |
| ACTIV | Drivers who want an outdoorsy look and feel | All-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, Evotex and suede-like microfiber seating surfaces, and an available two-tone white roof. Available in Autumn Harvest Metallic. |
What All 2027 Equinox Trims Share
- 1.5L turbo engine with 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque.
- Available all-wheel drive and a standard Drive Mode Selector.
- Up to 1,500 lbs of towing when properly equipped.
- 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen.
- Over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, including Chevy Safety Assist.

How to Pick
Choose LT if you want the core features without paying for styling upgrades. Choose RS if appearance matters and you want larger standard wheels. Choose ACTIV if you drive on rougher roads or want the all-terrain tires and tuned suspension. Chevrolet's page does not list ground clearance or skid plates for ACTIV, so ask our team about the specific truck in front of you.
Chevrolet also lists an available interior camera, new for 2027, which you can ask about when you build your order.
