Equinox AWD vs. FWD: Which Setup Is Right for You?
Every 2027 Equinox uses the same 175-hp, 1.5L turbo four-cylinder, making 203 lb.-ft. of torque. Buyers choose front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive — neither is wrong; it just depends on how and where you drive.
Weighing Equinox AWD vs. FWD? AWD sends power to all four wheels for extra grip in rain, snow, or on loose gravel — handy for a Maryland winter commute. FWD is the lighter, more efficient choice.
On Equinox fuel economy, FWD is EPA-rated at 25 mpg city, 29 highway, 27 combined. AWD comes in at 25 city, 29 highway, 26 combined. As for Chevy Equinox towing capacity, a properly equipped Equinox can tow up to 1,500 lbs. — enough for a small utility trailer or a pair of jet skis, though not a full-size truck's worth of hauling.
What Technology and Safety Come Standard?
Every 2027 Equinox is built around an 11.3" diagonal touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and OnStar connectivity.
The Equinox infotainment screen size gives navigation, music, and messages plenty of room, and available wireless phone charging means one less cord in the cupholder. New for 2027: an available interior camera for cabin glance and security recordings. Available options like HD Surround Vision, a rear camera mirror and rear cross-traffic braking add even more peace of mind.
On safety, every Equinox includes over 15 standard features, anchored by the six-part Chevy Safety Assist package:
- Automatic emergency braking

- Lane keep assist with lane departure warning
- Forward collision alert
