2027 Chevrolet Equinox Technology Features: Full Breakdown by Trim
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox centers its cabin around an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen paired with an 11-inch digital driver display. That is a significant upgrade over the screens found in most compact SUV rivals at this price point. This page breaks down every tech feature by trim, with inventory available at ASA Auto Plaza of Austin.
Feature Overview: A Tech Stack Built Around the Driver
The 2027 Equinox treats technology as a foundation, not an add-on. Two large digital surfaces dominate the cockpit: the 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen handles media, navigation, and phone connectivity, while the 11-inch Digital Driver Information Center sits squarely in the sightline of the driver, displaying speed, range, trip data, and driver-assist alerts.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across every trim, which means no cable is required to mirror your phone the moment you sit down. Remote start is also standard, a practical feature during Austin, MN winters when you want the cabin warm before you leave the house.
On the RS and ACTIV trims, the tech package expands to include wireless phone charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rain-sensing wipers, all of which reduce the number of manual adjustments a driver has to make on a typical commute.

How It Works: The Infotainment and Driver Display System
The 11.3-inch touchscreen runs Chevrolet's current infotainment interface, which organizes controls into a tile-based layout optimized for quick one-tap access. The screen is large enough that most functions are reachable without hunting through sub-menus.
The 11-inch Digital Driver Information Center replaces a traditional analog gauge cluster. It pulls in data from across the vehicle, including the Drive Mode Selector, the Following Distance Indicator, and active safety alerts, so the driver sees relevant information without looking away from the road.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto connect the moment the phone enters Bluetooth range of the vehicle. There is no pairing ritual required on repeat trips. The system also supports AM/FM radio and cruise control through the touchscreen or steering wheel controls.
The available 360-Degree Camera System feeds a composite bird's-eye view to the touchscreen, stitching together multiple cameras around the vehicle. This is particularly useful for navigating tight parking lots. The available AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free when it detects a programmed foot motion under the rear bumper, which is a direct benefit when your hands are full of groceries.

Across the Trims: Which Equinox Gets What Tech
LT (FWD and AWD)
The LT is the entry point and it is not a stripped model. Standard features include the 11.3-inch touchscreen, the 11-inch driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, remote start, AM/FM radio, cruise control, and the Drive Mode Selector. The full suite of standard safety tech is also active from this trim up, including the Following Distance Indicator, which feeds directly into the driver display.
RS (FWD and AWD)
The RS adds wireless phone charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rain-sensing wipers to the LT's foundation. Buyers at this trim also gain access to the optional 360-Degree Camera System and the available panoramic sunroof.
ACTIV (FWD and AWD)
The ACTIV shares the same tech tier as the RS, carrying wireless phone charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rain-sensing wipers as standard. The available AutoSense Power Liftgate and the available 360-Degree Camera System are also on offer here. The ACTIV's orientation is toward outdoor-capable driving, so its tech additions center on convenience features that hold up in demanding conditions.
Real-World Benefit: What This Tech Does for Owners Every Day
For a driver in Austin, MN managing cold-weather commutes, the combination of remote start and wireless phone charging eliminates two daily friction points. The car is warm when you arrive, and your phone gains charge during the drive without any plugging in.
The 11-inch driver display means that Following Distance Indicator alerts, lane departure warnings, and active safety status are visible in the driver's primary line of sight rather than buried in a small corner of the dash. Over the course of a week of driving, that translates to fewer glances away from the road.
Dual-zone automatic climate control on the RS and ACTIV is a genuine quality-of-life feature for a five-passenger SUV. A driver running warmer than a passenger in the right seat can set independent temperatures without negotiating a compromise.
Rain-sensing wipers remove one more manual task from a wet-weather commute. The system reads precipitation intensity and adjusts wiper speed automatically, which is a small but meaningful reduction in distraction.
The available 360-Degree Camera System addresses one of the most common low-speed stress points in modern driving: maneuvering in parking lots. With the composite overhead view on the 11.3-inch screen, the driver has a clear picture of every corner of the vehicle.
How It Compares: 2027 Equinox Tech vs the Compact SUV Segment
Most competitors in the compact SUV segment reserve large touchscreens and wireless phone integration for mid-tier or upper trims. The 2027 Equinox places the 11.3-inch screen and wireless CarPlay/Android Auto on the base LT trim, which means buyers do not have to step up one or two trim levels to get a functional infotainment experience.
The 11-inch Digital Driver Information Center is also more substantial than the 7- or 8-inch driver displays common on entry trims in this class. Rivals that offer dual-zone climate control typically gate it behind a premium package price. The Equinox includes it as a standard feature on both the RS and ACTIV.
The available panoramic sunroof and 360-degree camera are common optional items in the segment, so the Equinox is competitive there. The standard remote start across all trims is a meaningful differentiator for buyers in colder climates like southern Minnesota, where having that feature locked to upper trims adds cost without practical justification.
