2027 Chevrolet Equinox Infotainment: 11.3-Inch Screen, Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Explained

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox centers its cabin on an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen paired with an 11-inch digital driver display. That combination replaces the smaller screen found in prior generations and makes wireless phone projection standard across all trims. This page covers every infotainment feature, which trims include what, and how to check current inventory at Umansky Chevrolet.

Feature Overview: What the 2027 Equinox Infotainment System Delivers

The 2027 Equinox infotainment setup is built around two distinct screens working together. The 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen sits center-stack and handles navigation, media, climate shortcuts, and phone integration. Directly in front of the driver, the 11-inch digital driver information center replaces a traditional analog gauge cluster and puts speed, range, trip data, and driver-assist alerts on a single glanceable display.

 

Both screens carry through on every trim, including the entry-level LT. That matters because many competing crossovers reserve the larger screen for upper packages.

 

Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also standard on all trims. Apple CarPlay compatibility No cable required. Drivers in Glendale who regularly commute with a phone in-hand will notice the difference immediately: walk up, get in, and the phone connects on its own.

 

Remote Start is also standard, meaning you can warm or cool the cabin before you sit down, a practical feature during Wisconsin winters before you ever touch the touchscreen.

 

New for 2027, Chevrolet adds Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording. This feature uses an interior-facing camera to capture what is happening inside the vehicle, addressing both personal security and family monitoring needs.

How It Works: The Infotainment Tech Explained in Plain Terms

The 11.3-inch touchscreen runs Chevrolet's current infotainment software and responds to touch inputs the way a modern smartphone does. It is not a tablet bolted in as an afterthought. The display is integrated flush with the center console and angled toward the driver.

 

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi simultaneously. The vehicle pairs with a phone, and on startup, the projection launches without any cable or tap required. Once connected, drivers can use native navigation, streaming audio, text messaging, and voice commands through the phone's own operating system on the Equinox's larger display.

 

The 11-inch driver display is fully digital and configurable. Drivers can adjust what data fields appear based on the active drive mode. The Drive Mode Selector, standard on all 2027 Equinox trims, changes how the driver display presents information to match Normal, Sport, Snow or Ice, and other available modes.

 

Wireless Phone Charging is available on the RS and ACTIV trims, using a Qi-compatible pad in the front console. The phone charges passively while it projects wirelessly to the screen, so the battery does not drain from infotainment use.

 

Rain-Sensing Wipers on RS and ACTIV trims tie into the vehicle's sensor suite and adjust wiper speed automatically, a small but relevant detail when you are focused on a navigation route on a Wisconsin highway in a downpour.

Across the Trims: Which Infotainment Features Come Standard

 

LT (FWD and AWD) 

 

The LT trim is the starting point and still delivers the full screen setup. Standard features include the 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, the 11-inch digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Remote Start, and the Drive Mode Selector. AM/FM Radio and Cruise Control are also included. Wireless charging, dual-zone climate, and rain-sensing wipers are not part of this trim.

RS (FWD and AWD)

 

 The RS builds on the LT by adding Wireless Phone Charging, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control (controllable through the touchscreen), and Rain-Sensing Wipers. The RS also adds available features including the 360-Degree Camera System and Panoramic Sunroof, both of which feed into or complement the screen experience. The 360-Degree Camera gives a bird's-eye composite view displayed on the infotainment screen when parking.

ACTIV (FWD and AWD) 

 

The ACTIV shares the RS-level infotainment package, including Wireless Phone Charging, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and Rain-Sensing Wipers. The available 360-Degree Camera System and AutoSense Power Liftgate are also on offer. The ACTIV targets buyers who want capability with the same connected tech stack.

 

Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording is new for 2027 and available across the lineup.

Real-World Benefit: What This Infotainment Setup Does for Owners Daily

For a driver in Glendale commuting on I-43 or heading north toward Milwaukee's metro, the wireless connection removes one daily friction point. No fumbling with a cable in a cold car. The phone connects, CarPlay or Android Auto launches, and the route is already on the screen before you pull out of the driveway.

 

The 11.3-inch display is large enough that map views and album art are readable at a glance without leaning in. The 11-inch driver display keeps core data in the line of sight so eyes do not travel far from the road.

 

Wireless Phone Charging on RS and ACTIV trims solves the specific problem of projection draining a phone battery. Using CarPlay or Android Auto over a cable charges the phone simultaneously. Wireless projection alone does not charge the phone, so the dedicated Qi pad handles that job independently.

 

The Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording feature is meaningful for parents of teen drivers or anyone who parks in public lots regularly. The interior camera can capture activity inside the vehicle even when it is unattended, which is a practical safety addition beyond what most compact crossovers offer.

 

Remote Start, combined with Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control on RS and ACTIV trims, means the cabin is at two independently-set temperatures when occupants arrive, not just "on" but already adjusted to each side of the car.

How It Compares: 2027 Equinox Infotainment in Context

The 11.3-inch screen in the 2027 Equinox is on the larger end for compact crossovers in this segment. Many rivals in this class start with 8 or 10-inch displays at comparable trim levels and reserve larger screens for higher packages.

 

Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto remain unavailable in some competing models at the entry trim, where a physical cable connection is still required. The 2027 Equinox offers wireless projection standard across all three trims, including the LT.

 

The dual-screen setup, combining a center touchscreen and a separate digital driver display, is a layout that competing crossovers increasingly charge more to access. Having both screens on the LT gives the Equinox a stronger base offering than several alternatives in this segment.

 

The Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording feature is new for 2027 and not widely found in compact crossover competitors as a standard-available feature.

The 2027 Equinox suits compact crossover buyers who want a connected, safety-focused vehicle with enough cargo room for daily use. The three-trim structure keeps the decision manageable: buyers who prioritize value choose the LT, those who want upgraded comfort features step to the RS or ACTIV, and the choice between those two comes down to exterior style.

 

Compared to the 2026 Equinox, the 2027 model's clearest advantage is the addition of Cabin Glance and Security Interior Recording. If interior security monitoring matters to you, the 2027 is the version to buy. If you are considering a leftover 2026 model, that specific feature will not be present. The rest of the powertrain, dimensions, and safety structure carry over, so buyers who drove a 2026 will feel immediately at home in the 2027 cabin.

 

AWD availability on every trim level makes the 2027 Equinox a flexible choice for Wisconsin buyers who want grip in winter conditions without committing to a larger or more expensive vehicle.

The 2027 Equinox infotainment system is best understood from the driver's seat.

Umansky Chevrolet in Glendale, WI has the 2027 Equinox in stock across LT, RS, and ACTIV configurations. Check current inventory to see available trims and exterior colors, then schedule a test drive to put the system through its paces before committing.
