Chevy Equinox vs The Competition
Compare the 2024 Chevy Equinox
The small SUV segment is an extremely competitive one. Whether you are looking for a family vehicle or something to handle your commute in Independence, it is important to get something that is up to the task. That is why our team at Cable Dahmer Chevrolet of Independence is comparing the 2024 Chevy Equinox to some of its competitors, allowing you to make an informed buying decision.
Engine and Powertrain
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox, Toyota RAV4, and Honda CR-V all offer distinct driving experiences due to their different powertrains. The Equinox's 1.5-liter turbocharged engine provides a decent balance of power and fuel efficiency, with an EPA estimate of 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway for the front-wheel-drive model. In contrast, the RAV4 features a more powerful 2.5-liter engine with 203 horsepower.
Driving Dynamics
The Equinox is praised for its smooth ride and agile handling, especially in urban settings. It offers a quiet ride at highway speeds thanks to effective soundproofing measures. However, the RAV4 and CR-V might appeal more to those who prioritize a sportier driving experience and sharper handling.
Safety Features
All three vehicles come equipped with comprehensive safety packages. The 2024 Equinox includes standard features such as automatic headlights, active lane control, and a rear vision camera. Higher trims add more advanced features like adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera system.
The RAV4 and CR-V similarly offer robust safety features, with the CR-V notably including adaptive cruise control as a standard feature across all trims.
Space and Design
The interior of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox is designed with comfort in mind, featuring an inviting layout with quality materials and optional leather upholstery in higher trims. It offers ample room for passengers and a user-friendly infotainment system with a 7 or 8-inch touchscreen. The RAV4 and CR-V both offer more cargo space, but the Equinox counters with a more budget-friendly starting price and a similarly equipped interior.
Technology and Features
While the Equinox starts with a basic infotainment system, it includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across all trims. Optional upgrades include a larger touchscreen and additional connectivity features.
Price and Value
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox starts at a lower price point compared to its competitors, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. The base model of the Equinox is priced at $28,200, which is competitive considering the features and performance it offers. In comparison, the starting MSRP for the RAV4 is $28,675, and the CR-V starts at $29,500.
