2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV Colors Guide – The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV continues as one of America’s most accessible long-range electric compact SUVs, with only minor updates for the model year. Among the changes is a refreshed exterior color palette that replaces one previous option with a new shade while carrying over popular choices.
Shoppers in the USA can expect a mix of no-cost and extra-cost paints across LT1, LT2, and RS trims, along with available two-tone roof treatments on higher trims. Color availability can vary by trim, package, and production timing, so confirm the latest options with a Chevrolet dealer or the official configurator.
What’s New for 2027 Equinox EV Colors?
Chevrolet added White Sands as a new exterior paint option while discontinuing Galaxy Gray Metallic (also called Galaxy Grey Metallic).
This follows the pattern of selective palette refreshes on GM EVs. Other core colors from the 2026 model year largely carry over, including popular neutrals, blues, reds, and the bold Habanero Orange typically associated with the RS trim. Premium finishes such as Radiant Red Tintcoat and Polar White Tricoat generally carry an extra charge.
Exterior Color Options
Based on confirmed updates and continuity from the prior model year, expected exterior colors for the 2027 Equinox EV include:
- White Sands (new)
- Summit White
- Black
- Sterling Gray Metallic
- Riptide Blue Metallic
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (extra cost)
- Polar White Tricoat (extra cost, more common on higher trims)
- Habanero Orange (typically RS)
Two-tone combinations (body color with a contrasting black or white roof) remain available on select trims and packages for added visual distinction. Exact pricing, codes, and trim restrictions should be verified at ordering time, as GM occasionally adjusts availability mid-year.
Interior Color and Trim Notes
The cabin receives a subtle update: the light blue accent trim previously used on LT2 models is replaced by a more subdued Charcoal Gray finish for a cleaner, more unified look across LT trims.
Interior upholstery options continue to center on practical cloth on base LT1 models and Evotex (synthetic leather) on higher trims, with colorways that typically include Black (sometimes with accent stitching) and lighter gray tones. RS models often feature red accents for a sportier cabin. Ambient lighting updates are also expected, potentially expanding personalization options.
Choosing the Right Color for Your Equinox EV
Neutral shades like Summit White, Black, Sterling Gray Metallic, and the new White Sands tend to be the most versatile for resale, easy maintenance, and pairing with any interior. Bold choices such as Riptide Blue Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, or Habanero Orange stand out more and suit buyers wanting a distinctive look.
White and lighter metallics can help with heat management in warmer U.S. climates, while darker colors emphasize the Equinox EV’s modern proportions and available blackout packages. Always view colors in person or via official Chevrolet configurator images under different lighting, as metallic and tricoat finishes shift noticeably outdoors.
Final Tips for USA Buyers
Build and price your preferred combination on Chevrolet.com or at a local dealer to lock in current availability, incentives, and any regional differences. Production of the 2027 Equinox EV is underway with the shift to a native NACS charge port as another key update. Color choices remain one of the easiest ways to personalize this practical, long-range electric SUV.
