New 8-Speed Automatic Transmission Standard Across the Lineup
One of the most significant updates for the 2027 model year is Chevrolet’s decision to equip every Equinox with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Previously, front-wheel-drive models utilized a continuously variable transmission (CVT). For 2027, that setup has been replaced with the more traditional 8-speed automatic, providing drivers with a more familiar driving experience and conventional gear changes during everyday driving.
This change creates a more consistent experience throughout the Equinox lineup, regardless of drivetrain choice.
The Biggest Change for 2027
Front-wheel-drive Equinox models now receive the same type of 8-speed automatic transmission already used in all-wheel-drive versions, replacing the previous CVT.
Technology Remains a Highlight
The Equinox continues to impress when it comes to technology and connectivity.
Inside the cabin, drivers will find the large 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that debuted with the latest generation Equinox. The system features Google Built-In compatibility, giving drivers access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and a variety of apps directly through the vehicle’s interface.
For 2027, Chevrolet also introduces new available camera technologies that add convenience and visibility. Features such as an available interior camera and rear camera washer help drivers stay aware of their surroundings while keeping camera views clear in adverse weather conditions.
