2027 Equinox Specs and Dimensions Hot Springs AR

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox runs a 1.5L Turbo rated at 175 horsepower through an 8-speed automatic, 183.2 inches long on a 107.5-inch wheelbase, EPA-rated at 27 MPG combined in front-wheel drive. The 2027 Equinox EV is a separate, longer nameplate at 190.6 inches on a 116.3-inch wheelbase, powered by an 85 kWh battery good for an EPA-estimated 319 miles of front-drive range. Every figure below is sourced and scoped to the car it describes; see the Equinox overview for the buying picture or All Trims Compared for pricing by trim.

Where an OEM figure and an independent aggregator disagree, the line carrying it names the source; nothing on this page blends the two nameplates into one number. Allen Tillery Chevrolet sits at 4573 Central Ave, close enough for a Malvern or Arkadelphia shopper to put a tape measure on either car in person before deciding.

Engine Specifications

The gas Equinox runs one engine and the EV runs one battery; the mechanical headline for 2027 is what changed under each. Front-wheel-drive gas models now share the same 8-speed automatic that all-wheel drive already used, and the Equinox EV moved to a standard NACS charging port, both covered in full below.

The 8-speed automatic is the change worth knowing before a test drive: on the climbing curves into the Ouachita Mountains west of town, a front-wheel-drive 2027 Equinox now shifts through the same fixed gearset as the all-wheel-drive build, putting the whole lineup on one shared transmission design.

Exterior Dimensions

The gas Equinox is the shorter, narrower car by every exterior measurement Chevrolet publishes for either nameplate.

Read the width row carefully: the gas figure is measured without mirrors and the EV figure with them, because that is how Chevrolet publishes each one, so the 10-inch gap on that line overstates the real difference in a parking space. The 4,850-pound GVWR belongs to the LT front-drive build specifically, never the whole gas lineup, and the number for any individual vehicle sold at Allen Tillery Chevrolet is the one stamped on its own door jamb.

Interior Dimensions for Hot Springs Families

Both 2027 Equinox nameplates seat five, and the two cars split the cabin space between them rather than one simply out-measuring the other.

Front-row passengers get slightly more legroom and shoulder room in the Equinox EV, but the gas Equinox answers back in the second row, with 1.9 inches more rear legroom and 1.2 inches more rear hip room. A Hot Springs family that spends most of its miles as two adults up front will notice the EV's roomier cabin; a family regularly hauling teenagers in the back seat will notice the gas car's advantage instead. Garland County buyers cross-shopping both nameplates at one dealership are the exact audience this comparison is built for.

Capacity and Capability

Cargo space favors the shorter car in both measurements, and the tow rating is identical between the two.

The gas Equinox out-hauls the EV by 6.3 cubic feet with the seats folded flat, floor depth the EV's battery pack occupies instead. Both nameplates are rated the same for towing, properly equipped in each case — enough for a small utility trailer, a pair of personal watercraft or a light pop-up camper, not a travel trailer.

Wheels, Tires, and Brakes

Wheel sizes step up with trim level on both nameplates, and only the ACTIV ships on all-terrain rubber.

Brakes are four-wheel antilock discs on both nameplates, with FNC-coated rotors specified on the gas Equinox. The 19-inch wheel carries noticeably more sidewall than the 20- or 21-inch options, which matters on the county roads running out toward Malvern and Arkadelphia where the pavement edge is not always where the paint says it is.

Fuel Economy and EV Range Near Hot Springs

The gas Equinox is EPA-rated at 27 MPG combined in front-wheel drive; the Equinox EV is EPA-estimated at 319 miles of range on the same drivetrain layout. Neither figure carries over to its all-wheel-drive counterpart.

All four rows are EPA figures from fueleconomy.gov. The all-wheel-drive Equinox EV also carries an EPA energy-consumption rating of 33 kWh per 100 miles. The 319-mile figure belongs only to the front-drive Equinox EV; attach it to an all-wheel-drive build and the number is simply wrong for that car.

A standard NACS port comes on every 2027 Equinox EV trim, replacing the CCS hardware the prior model year shipped, so the plug now matches NACS-native public fast-charging equipment directly with no adapter in the glovebox. Add the standard 11.5 kW onboard module and a full charge from a 240-volt home outlet lands at roughly 9.5 hours, while a public DC fast charger adds up to 80 miles of range in 10 minutes at a peak of up to 150 kW.

For an Arkadelphia commuter running Interstate 30 daily, or a Malvern driver working Highway 270, a 319-mile front-drive Equinox EV covers most weeks on a single overnight charge at home, with DC fast charging available along the corridor for a longer trip.

Key Features by Trim

The decision features that actually separate these six trims — screen size, connected services, driver assistance depth and a handful of trim-specific extras — are gathered in one grid below.

S = standard on that trim · O = available · not std = not standard equipment on that trim (does not mean the feature is unavailable everywhere).

Two rows are the ones worth reading twice. Super Cruise, GM's hands-free highway driver assistance, is not offered on the gas Equinox for 2027 on any trim and is available across the whole Equinox EV lineup. Google Gemini rides the same divide: it is an Equinox EV feature, available from LT 1 up, with no Chevrolet record of it on the gas car.

Safety and Compliance for Hot Springs Drivers

The gas Equinox ships with more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features. The Equinox EV ships with more than 20, a real difference in scope, not just a bigger sticker.

Standard braking intervention on the gas Equinox comes from the Chevy Safety Assist bundle: Automatic Emergency Braking and Front Pedestrian Braking step in ahead of a collision, while Forward Collision Alert and a Following Distance Indicator give the driver the warning first. IntelliBeam handles high-beam switching on its own, rounding out the six-feature bundle standard on every 2027 gas trim. Four more features move from standard to available: HD Surround Vision and a Rear Camera Mirror add visibility, while Side Bicyclist Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Braking cover close-quarters awareness.

The Equinox EV's standard list runs deeper: Adaptive Cruise Control manages following distance on the highway, Enhanced Auto Park Assist takes over parallel and perpendicular parking, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning back up the driver at intersections and lane lines, with HD Surround Vision joining the list from LT 2 up. Super Cruise adds available hands-free driving on compatible divided highways — a genuine consideration for drivers who put regular highway miles on Interstate 30 toward Malvern or Hope. Neither nameplate's crash-test results are banked here; call Allen Tillery Chevrolet at 501-881-4274 for the current rating documentation on a specific configuration.

Warranty Coverage

Both nameplates carry the same bumper-to-bumper term; the EV adds a separate, longer battery warranty in place of a powertrain warranty.

Tire rotation on either nameplate falls every 7,500 miles under Chevrolet's own service guidance, and the included visit covers an oil and filter change (gas), a four-tire rotation and a multi-point inspection. For oil-life percentages, higher-mileage service and the full maintenance schedule, see the 2027 Equinox Maintenance and Service page.

What These 2027 Equinox Numbers Mean in Practice

Three rows on this page decide most real Equinox purchases here, and none of them is horsepower.

A Malvern shopper cross-shopping the two nameplates side by side usually lands on the same three rows: how it parks, how it rides on a rough stretch of road, and how much it swallows on a loaded weekend. An Arkadelphia commuter running the interstate every day tends to weigh the fuel-economy and range rows above instead.

See the gas Equinox in stock, look at Equinox EV inventory, or compare both against a specific trim on the Gas vs. EV page. Financing details are on the finance page, and Allen Tillery Chevrolet is at 4573 Central Ave for anyone who wants a tape measure on either car before deciding.
