How the Chevy Equinox Compares to the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape
The Chevy Equinox is pitted against its top competitors: the Honda CR-V and the Ford Escape. And, spoiler alert, we're going to side with the Chevy Equinox. No surprise there, right? But what might be surprising is what the Chevy Equinox offers at the standard level. For that and more, you'll want to read ahead. The Equinox is on top-but the competition definitely has something to offer.
Performance
When you're in the market for a crossover SUV, the last thing you expect is mind-bending power and performance. And with these crossover SUVs, you can keep that expectation off your list. But what you can add in place is great city handling and fuel efficiency. But which crossover SUV fairs better?
Chevy Equinox
The Chevy Equinox brings superb handling and well-rounded power to your commute. With a turbocharged I4, 1.5L engine, you'll have 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. That low-end power shows up when you're ready to merge onto the highway in Paterson, NJ, or dart towards the next exit. The EPA-estimated 26/31 MPG city/highway is just what the doctor ordered.
Honda CR-V
While the Honda CR-V's intercooled Turbo I4, 1.5L engine collects 190 horsepower and 179 lb.-ft. of torque. That's a solid addition to this Honda crossover. But with the slight edge in horsepower, the Honda CR-V loses the battle with gas mileage. You'll manage an EPA-estimated 23/31 MPG city/highway.
Ford Escape
The Ford Escape offers an EPA-estimated 28/34 MPG city/highway with the standard 1.5L 3-cylinder engine. This engine combination gives up to 181 horsepower in the base trim. The available 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine will deliver 250 horsepower.
Safety
Crossover SUVs have a few main goals in mind. One is the safety of you and your passengers as you travel in Paramus. But one model offers much more than any of its competition. Can you guess which Chevy—er, which one it is?
Chevy Equinox
The Chevy Equinox will give you the most safety features for less. It includes electronic stability control, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, and more. Safety enhancements include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.
Honda CR-V
Electronic stability control, traction control, and lane-keeping assistance top some of the standard features of the Honda CR-V. But if you're looking for more, you'll also have to pay a little more. The most desirable safety features aren't available at the base level.
Ford Escape
The Ford Co-Pilot360 adds standard safety features like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. The Ford Co-Pilot360 doubles its safety features as you climb trim levels and combine various safety packages.
Infotainment and Interior Design
The Chevy Equinox also offers the most bang for your buck in Hawthorne. The Chevy Equinox layers each model with comfort and entertainment.
Chevy Equinox
The intuitive 7-inch infotainment touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot are standard entertainment features for all Chevy Equinox models. Some of the available upgrades include an 8-inch infotainment screen, dual-zone climate control, and heated front seats.
Honda CR-V
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration and Wi-Fi connectivity are available with upgrades to higher trim levels. A standard 7.0-inch touchscreen is supplied for the base trim. You can upgrade to a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with top-level trims like the EX-L and Sport Touring.
Ford Escape
The Ford Escape adds textured cloth seat upholstery and an 8-inch infotainment screen at the base model. Higher trim levels, like the Platinum, are decorated with faux-leather seating material and a 13.2-inch touchscreen.
