2024 Chevrolet Equinox
vs. 2024 Honda CR-V
Compare Feature & Specs
Overview
In 2024, the Chevrolet Equinox and Honda CR-V continue to compete in the compact SUV segment, each offering unique strengths that cater to the SUV needs of McCordsville, Indiana, drivers. At Stanley Chevrolet, the Equinox stands out for its dynamic design, responsive handling, and family-friendly conveniences designed for safety and ease, while the Honda CR-V offers efficiency and a sleek, streamlined style. There’s a reason the Equinox is the Most Awarded Compact SUV for Quality.
Features & Performance
The Chevrolet Equinox, known for its robust build and smooth handling, boasts a turbocharged 1.5L engine, producing 175 hp and 203 lbs.-ft. of torque, perfect for responsive, efficient driving across Hancock County. The turbocharged technology, combined with Variable Valve Timing and a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission provides brisk, controlled acceleration that meets the demands of city commutes and longer drives alike. The Equinox also sees a distinct edge in varying weather with its all-wheel drive option, lending to its J.D. Power #1 ranking for Long-Term Dependability.
The Honda CR-V does provide more horsepower at 190 hp, but it produces far less torque at 179 lbs.-ft. Lacking the turbocharging tech that the Equinox has, this results in slower takeoff and responsiveness. While the CR-V’s slightly higher fuel efficiency appeals to those focused on maximizing MPG, the Equinox balances both power and fuel economy in a way that’s ideal for versatile, everyday driving.
Technology
The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system is renowned for its intuitive interface and depth of connectivity options. This touchscreen system integrates wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Wi-Fi® Hotspot, and adds Alexa Built-In that allows for hands-free communication, Voice Recognition, smart-home compatibility, and more. The Honda CR-V does not offer standard wireless smartphone compatibility, which is more troublesome than it may sound in an SUV of this size. It also lacks Alexa Built-In, making hands-free connectivity more difficult and less comprehensive with Bluetooth alone.
Family-friendliness and Convenience
Chevrolet focuses on intuitive design and features that instill comfort, creating an inviting, user-friendly vehicle from the ground up. We see this clearly in the cargo area. While the CR-V does offer a larger cargo area, it falls short when it comes to ease of use—a key factor for families with sports equipment, multiple people loading up the back, and accessibility when your hands are full of groceries and other supplies. The Honda CR-V only offers a power tailgate in its top trim, while the Chevrolet Equinox offers a power liftgate with programmable height across almost all of its trims, considering it a critical feature for most SUV drivers. Also important with full hands and a busy schedule, the CR-V doesn’t offer Smart Entry and auto-locking as standard, while the Equinox offers extensive security measures as standard in addition to its robust driver-assistance suite that also make your daily drives simpler. A remote panic alarm, keyless start, and 3 years of OnStar® service come standard to ensure your convenience and all-around security from every angle. Chevrolet even equips every Equinox with Teen Driver technology to help instill safe driving behaviors from the first moment behind the wheel.
When it comes to convenience and forward-thinking details, the Chevrolet Equinox upholds the brand’s reputation for being family-focused and driver-centric.
