Chevrolet Equinox for sale in Rockville MD

Pricing opens at $29,000 MSRP for the LT. The RS and ACTIV each start at $33,900 MSRP, and configured starting prices run as high as $35,900 across the lineup. None of those numbers include destination charge, taxes, Maryland MVA fees, optional equipment or dealer charges.

You get 29.8 cubic feet behind the second row, and 63.5 cubic feet with the 60/40 split‑folding rear seats down. For reference, that's enough with the seats folded to take a bike without removing the rear wheel.

Yes, on all three trims. Front‑wheel drive is standard and all‑wheel drive is an available option on LT, RS and ACTIV alike, so you can add traction without changing trims to get it.

Up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. In practical terms that's a small utility trailer for a yard‑waste run, a pair of kayaks on a trailer, or a lightweight teardrop camper. A larger boat or a travel trailer is outside what this vehicle is built for.

One engine across the lineup: a 1.5L turbocharged four‑cylinder making 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque, working through an 8-speed automatic. That 8‑speed is new for 2027 on front‑wheel‑drive models, replacing the CVT used in earlier model years.

Three: LT, RS and ACTIV. Each is offered with front‑wheel drive or all‑wheel drive. The all‑electric Equinox EV is a separate vehicle with its own specifications, pricing and inventory.

What is the difference between the Equinox LT, RS and ACTIV? LT is the entry point, but not a bare car: heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and the 11.3‑inch touchscreen all come standard. RS builds on that in two directions at once, appearance items like black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging, standard 19-inch machined wheels and a flat-bottom steering wheel, alongside convenience content including wireless phone charging, dual‑zone automatic climate control and rain-sensing wipers, with a 360-degree camera and panoramic sunroof on the options list. ACTIV goes the outdoor route with all‑terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, Evotex and suede‑microfiber seating surfaces, and an available two‑tone white roof.
Since the powertrain is identical across all three, choosing a trim is a question of equipment and character rather than capability.

For up to five people, yes. It seats five across two rows with 39.9 inches of rear legroom — enough to install a rear‑facing car seat without the front passenger giving up their knees. Every trim carries over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features. Families who need a third row for carpool rotations should be looking at the Chevy Traverse instead.

Montgomery County gets more winter than the rest of the region, and the terrain compounds it, hills, tree cover, and up-county roads toward Darnestown and Poolesville that hold snow well after the Pike is clear. Available all‑wheel drive on any trim handles that. The ACTIV goes furthest, pairing AWD with all‑terrain tires and a retuned suspension, which is the setup we'd recommend for a steep or north‑facing driveway. Whatever you choose, tires do more work than drivetrain, good all-seasons on a front-wheel-drive Equinox will beat worn tires on an all-wheel-drive one.

The Equinox generally comes in below both on entry price, carries a larger standard touchscreen, and offers all-wheel drive across every trim. The CR‑V and RAV4 push back with hybrid powertrains and historically stronger resale numbers. If your top priority is fuel economy, the hybrids deserve the drive. If it's standard equipment per dollar, the Equinox holds up well. These three are close enough that a test drive on your own commute usually decides it.

No. The 2027 Equinox is gasoline‑only. The Equinox EV is the electrified option in this size, and it's a separate model with its own specifications, pricing and inventory. It's worth considering if you can charge at home and your daily driving is predictable.
