In comparison, all four SUVs have similar seating capacities. The cargo capacity on offer with the Equinox may not be the highest in the segment but a total trunk volume of 31.5 cubic feet with all seats in an upright position can accommodate three luggage bags without any difficulty. However, the steering does lack engagement and reduces the driving pleasure. The reclining rear-seats are a blessing in disguise on long trips coupled with a nimble ride quality, the Equinox does gain ascendancy over its competitors. The seats are praiseworthy, for they accord maximum space and comfort. The Chevrolet Equinox has a total seating capacity of five passengers. However, its small fuel tank does put it at a disadvantage when the total range covered is considered. The Honda CR-V, on the other hand, is the most fuel-efficient car in the segment averaging 25 miles per gallon of fuel. In comparison, the Ford Escape and Hyundai Tucson are equally economical as the Chevrolet Equinox. The ability of Equinox to cover the highest range and distance reduces the cost of running and maintaining the SUV. Its fuel tank has a total capacity of 18.8-gallons, which is the largest in the segment, allows it to cover a total distance of 376 and 545.2 miles in the city and on the highway, respectively. Combined, its efficiency of 23 miles per gallon of fuel is a sigh of relief in a competitive segment. It can average 20 MPG when cruising in the city and 29 MPG when sprinting on the highway.
The Chevrolet Equinox is revered in the market for its economical fuel figures, and the 2012 iteration is evidence of its abilities. The Honda CR-V is distinctive by virtue of its 5-speed automatic transmission setup. In the segment, all four vehicles make use of an inline-4 engine and are channeled as all-wheel-drive variants. In the quarter-mile run, the Ford Escape continues to assert its dominance. While the Ford Escape and Hyundai Tucson are fastest to the 60 MPH mark clocking 9.2 seconds, the Honda CR-V is the slowest, taking 9.9 seconds. In comparison, all SUVs in the segment have eerily similar performance figures. As standard, all trims of the Chevrolet Equinox, irrespective of their engine configuration, come mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with an overdrive facility and can be channeled as a front-wheel or an all-wheel-drive variant. The optional engine is a 3.0L V6 engine that is good for 264 hp and 222 lb.-ft of torque. It comes equipped with a large number of features, including all specifications of the lower trims and additional inclusions like leather seats, mirror memory, and rear parking aid. We recommend buying the top-rack variant of the Chevrolet Equinox for its high price-to-performance ratio. The Equinox is also available with an optional engine which is a V6 unit.
As standard, it comes equipped with an alarm, keyless entry, and steering mounted controls. It falls in a price range that extends from $23,050 for its base variant and goes up to $30,970 for its top-rack variant. All trims of the Equinox are distinguished from one another by the set of features they possess.
