| ACTIV | Rugged and adventure-inspired | All-terrain tires, uniquely tuned suspension, Evotex and sueded microfiber seating | Drivers who enjoy outdoor activities |
Our team can help confirm the latest standard features, available packages, and inventory for each trim.
Performance and Drivetrain
The 2027 Equinox LT, RS, and ACTIV share a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard, while available all-wheel drive provides additional traction for changing road conditions.
The main capability distinction comes with the ACTIV. It features all-terrain tires and uniquely tuned suspension, giving it a more adventure-oriented setup for gravel roads and light off-pavement driving. The RS, meanwhile, focuses on sporty appearance rather than additional off-road hardware. Drivers navigating Chattanooga’s hills or traveling through changing weather can also consider the available AWD system when comparing configurations.
Interior and Technology
The Equinox lineup provides useful technology and comfort features across all three trims. Each includes an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The differences come through in the seating materials, styling, and available equipment.
- LT: Focuses on everyday comfort and convenience, with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
- RS: Adds a sportier cabin appearance, including a flat-bottom steering wheel and distinctive trim details.
- ACTIV: Features Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces that complement its outdoor-inspired design.
Available equipment and packages can add further convenience and technology features. Our team can walk you through the differences without assuming that one trim automatically includes every feature offered on another. Give us a call at 423-763-7946 to schedule your appointment.
