2027 Chevy Equinox RS Complete Review: Interior, Tech, Safety, and Drive

The 2027 Chevy Equinox RS brings together style, technology, safety, and driving performance in an exciting new package. As Chevy’s most popular vehicle, the latest Equinox RS stands out with its upgraded features, bold styling, and advanced safety tech.

Bold Exterior Style

This RS edition comes in a striking Polar White with metallic flake, giving it a glittery finish that pops in the sunlight. The look is further enhanced by blacked-out badging, a sleek black grille, and stylish chrome-and-black 20-inch wheels fitted with all-season Michelin tires. The attention to detail extends to the blacked-out side mirrors, RS logos, and even blacked-out Chevy bowties at the front and rear. Keyless entry with a button on the handle makes getting in simple and modern.

Spacious, Sporty Interior

Inside, the Equinox RS boasts a black EvoTex interior accented with sporty red stitching. The material is both durable and stylish, matching the RS branding. The rear outboard seats are heated, and passengers have access to USB-C fast charging ports, seatback storage, and dual cup holders. The power tailgate, all-weather mats, hidden underfloor storage, interior lighting, and a 12-volt charger in the cargo area make this SUV as practical as it is comfortable.

Technology That Leads the Class

Chevy didn’t hold back on tech with this model. Up front, you’re greeted by a massive 11.3-inch infotainment screen. It features built-in Google services, access to the Play Store, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, remote start from both the key fob and your phone—even across states! Drivers also get a fully digital instrument cluster, ventilated and heated seats, and both manual and digital climate controls.

The HD Surround Vision package gives you not just front and rear cameras, but a complete 360-degree view, guiding lines, and tire path projection. The system warns you with seat vibrations and detects vehicles or even shopping carts with sonar and cross-traffic alert. It doubles as a dash cam if you plug in a USB drive. There’s also an interior camera, perfect for rideshare drivers or families looking for extra peace of mind.

Performance and Driving Modes

Under the hood, the 2027 Equinox RS runs on a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, delivering 175 horsepower to an 8-speed automatic transmission. While many competitors are turning to CVTs, Chevy brings back the more engaging automatic, complete with paddle shifters for a sportier drive. An all-wheel-drive selector is on hand, along with drive modes for Normal, Off-Road, and Snow & Ice, allowing you to tailor the ride to your environment.

Safety First

Safety technology in the Equinox RS is extensive. Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot warning with flashing indicators, and automatic prevention of unsafe lane changes work seamlessly to keep everyone secure. The system keeps your pace with traffic and will come to a complete stop if needed, resuming when traffic moves again. The auto hold feature keeps the vehicle stationary without keeping your foot on the brake—a simple but highly appreciated touch.

Chevy backs up these features with strong warranties: a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty covering all electronics and switches, plus a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
