2027 Chevrolet Equinox Towing & Cargo
2027 Chevrolet Equinox Towing & Cargo
Utility is where the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox quietly leveled up. The switch to a standard 8-speed automatic did more than smooth out acceleration; it brought front-wheel-drive models up to the same 1,500-pound tow rating all-wheel drive enjoys, so every 2027 Equinox pulls its weight. Pair that with a 63.5-cubic-foot maximum cargo hold and Venice-friendly loading features, and this compact SUV earns its keep. Jenkins Chevrolet of Venice runs the numbers below.
2027 Chevrolet Equinox Towing Capacity
V
Properly equipped, every 2027 Equinox, front- or all-wheel drive, is rated to tow up to 1,500 pounds. That is a genuine change from 2026, when front-drive models topped out at 800 pounds; the new standard 8-speed automatic closed the gap. The 175-horsepower 1.5L turbo and its up-to-203 lb-ft of torque handle a small boat headed for the Venice jetty, a pair of personal watercraft, or a lightweight utility trailer without strain, and the standard Drive Mode Selector keeps the powertrain composed with weight on the hitch.
- Up to 1,500 pounds of towing, properly equipped
- Same rating for FWD and AWD in 2027
- New 8-speed automatic across the lineup
- Up to 203 lb-ft of turbocharged torque
- Standard Drive Mode Selector
2027 Chevrolet Equinox Cargo Volume
V
With all five seats up, the 2027 Equinox holds 29.8 cubic feet behind the second row, enough for a serious beach-day loadout or a week of groceries stacked with room to spare. The 60/40 rear bench folds nearly flat to open a maximum 63.5 cubic feet, swallowing bicycles, patio furniture, or the haul from an estate sale on the island. Rear passengers keep 39.9 inches of legroom when the seats are in use, so cargo capacity never comes at the second row’s expense.
- 29.8 cubic feet behind the second row
- 63.5 cubic feet maximum with seats folded
- 60/40 split-folding rear bench
- Five-passenger seating with 39.9-inch rear legroom
- Wide hatch opening for bulky cargo

Rear Park Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Braking come standard, welcome allies when backing out of tight beach-lot spaces with a load in the back.
