Chevy Equinox
Honda CR-V
Performance & Capabilities
When it comes to power for accelerating, merging, and changing lanes in McHenry, MD, traffic, both the Equinox and the CR-V stand out in an otherwise crowded and highly competitive compact SUV segment:
- The Equinox features a 175-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 203 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and, like the CR-V, with its continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), it can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
- With all-wheel drive (AWD) available for both models, both are adept at transporting light pop-up or teardrop campers on weekend getaways to Kingswood, WV.
- Both SUVs are also comparably fuel-efficient, with the Equinox achieving up to 26 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The CR-V gets up to 28 mpg and 33 mpg, respectively.
However, although the CR-V features a sprightlier 190-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, it produces only 179 pound-feet of torque. The Equinox has more pulling power, making it better equipped to ascend steep inclines, especially while trailering.
Interior & Technology
Both the Equinox and the CR-V are accommodating on long vacations out of Uniontown, PA, featuring invitingly roomy cabins that provide 104.3 and 106.0 cubic feet of passenger space, respectively, and seat as many as five riders.
- The Equinox features standard heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and 64 cubic feet of max cargo space for luggage and essentials; Evotex synthetic-leather-and-sueded microfiber upholstery and ventilated driver and front passenger seats are optional.
- An 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Maps navigation, and Wi-Fi hotspot support comes standard, along with a six-speaker audio system.
- Graduate to the RS trim. You gain an eight-way power driver's seat and wireless charging for mobile devices.
- There's even an interior camera available that lets you view and record the cabin for added security.
The CR-V provides a choice between cloth and leather-trimmed seating and offers up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity. However, neither front seat ventilation nor an interior camera is offered anywhere in the lineup. Plus, its 9.0-inch touchscreen is smaller, and base trims offer only four-speaker audio systems. The Equinox is arguably friendlier to day trips to Morgantown, WV, with more comfort and entertainment options and an easier-to-see-and-use infotainment system.
Safety Features & Driver Aids
With similar suites of driver-assistance technologies, the Equinox and the CR-V match evenly when it comes to protecting what matters most on the roads in and around Terra Alta, WV.
- The CR-V features the Honda Sensing suite.
- The Equinox offers more than 15 standard safety features, including side bicyclist alert, an adaptive cruise control system, rear park assist, an HD rear vision camera, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and rear cross traffic brakes. A rear pedestrian alert system, traffic sign recognition, and a handy rear camera mirror are available.
