Is the Chevrolet Equinox a Good SUV?

The 2020 Equinox is a great compact SUV. This small crossover gets some of the best fuel economy ratings in the class, and it offers solid handling, a smooth ride, and an easy-to-use infotainment system. It's also a class leader when it comes to predicted reliability. However, the Equinox comes up short in a few areas: Its base engine is uninspiring, and many competitors have nicer interiors and more cargo space.

Should I Buy the Chevrolet Equinox?

Though there’s a lot to like about the Equinox, there are plenty of options for small SUV shoppers. Before you decide, consider the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5, both of which finish near the top of our class rankings. Even if you love the Equinox, you might also check out other General Motors vehicles, like the GMC Terrain. It's basically the Equinox’s twin.

Should I Buy a New or Used Chevrolet Equinox?

The 2020 Equinox belongs to a generation that began with a full redesign for 2018. Chevrolet introduced new engines for the 2018 Equinox, including a 170-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, a 137-horsepower turbodiesel, and a 252-horsepower turbo-four. Those engines replaced the 182-horsepower four-cylinder and the 301-horsepower V6 found in previous models. The 2018 model also gained a more upscale interior and additional features, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a safety alert seat, lane keep assist, low-speed automatic emergency braking, and a Teen Driver system.

The 2019 Equinox saw few changes beyond gaining new optional features like pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control.

For 2020, there are many new standard active safety features, including lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. There's one other big change for the 2020 Equinox: This Chevy is no longer available with a diesel engine.

You can likely save money by shopping for an older model, and the savings could be significant if you opt for an Equinox from the previous generation. Just know that you'll miss out on the considerable updates.

Chevrolet Equinox Versus the Competition

Which Is Better: Chevrolet Equinox or Honda CR-V?

The Honda CR-V is one of our highest-rated compact SUVs nearly every year. The Honda has perhaps the nicest interior in the class, and it's noticeably more upscale than the Chevy. The CR-V has much more cargo space as well. The Honda's seats are comfortable and supportive, and there are lots of tech features. The Chevrolet has a better predicted reliability rating, but that’s not enough for us to recommend it over the Honda.

Which Is Better: Chevrolet Equinox or Mazda CX-5?

If you're looking for an engaging driving experience, the Mazda CX-5 should be one of your top choices among compact SUVs. It offers an energetic turbocharged engine and delivers some of the nimblest handling in the class, along with a smooth ride. Inside, the Mazda is roomy and upscale, and it offers a nice array of tech features. It lacks the Chevy’s fantastic predicted reliability rating, but it’s still the better SUV in this matchup.

Which Is Better: Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain?

The GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox are both General Motors vehicles, and they possess some similarities. They have the same powertrain lineup, meaning these siblings are similar in performance and fuel economy. In terms of features, as well as passenger and cargo space, the GMC and Chevrolet are nearly identical, but the Terrain's cabin is more upscale than the Equinox’s. However, what gives the Equinox the edge in this GM matchup is its much higher predicted reliability rating.

How Many People Does the Equinox Seat?

The Equinox seats five people. The front seats are fairly spacious and provide drivers with great visibility. The rear seats have plenty of space as long as you skip the optional sunroof, which cuts into the headroom of riders who are of average height or taller.

Equinox and Child Car Seats

There are two full sets of LATCH car-seat connectors for the Equinox’s rear outboard seats, as well as an upper tether anchor for the rear middle seat. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says the main issue is that the tether anchors can be confused with other hardware.

Equinox Interior Quality

This Chevrolet features a well-designed interior, though it includes too many plastics and low-rent materials to rank as one of the nicer cabins in this class.

Equinox Cargo Space

Though the Equinox’s cargo space isn’t paltry, it lags behind rivals like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue when it comes to overall capacity. With 29.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, the Equinox provides enough room for vacation luggage, including a few sets of golf clubs. Fold the rear seats down, and you get 63.9 cubic feet of space.
