The compact SUV segment is becoming more popular, with plenty of choices, such as the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox and the 2024 GMC Terrain. The versatility and fuel efficiency of smaller SUVs are primarily driving this trend. Compact SUVs also present an eco-friendly option as these cars produce less emissions on average.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain are closely related. They are corporate cousins, sharing a platform, powertrain, and several components. So which is better? In this compact SUV comparison, we’ll examine each vehicle's safety, performance, and interior offerings.
Meanwhile, you can check out the 2024 Equinox range at Jay Hodge Chevrolet of Muskogee. Swing by our Muskogee, OK-based showroom, and we'll explain each trim. Then, you can hop in the driver's seat and take a test drive.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain each offer more than 100 cubic feet of total passenger volume. With two rows of seating, these vehicles can transport up to five adults in decent comfort. The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain offer 30 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Buyers can also fold down the rear seat to get a total of 64 cubic feet. There’s even some hidden cargo storage space beneath the trunk floor.
The 2024 Equinox can also come with a collapsible cargo organizer and a retractable cargo shade. A vertical cargo net is another attractive option.
Buyers can select premium materials such as leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel on higher trims of either compact SUV. They also come with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ plus Wi-Fi hotspots as standard. Higher trims of the 2024 Equinox add wireless phone charging, heated front seats, and a power driver seat. Buyers can also choose a Bose premium sound system, ventilated front seats, and heated outboard rear seats as options.
Furthermore, the 2024 Equinox's cabin has plenty of convenience features. All trims have front passenger seatback pockets, a spacious glovebox, and cup holders for both rows of seats. Higher trims add an overhead sunglasses case and illuminated vanity mirrors within the sun visors. Buyers also get two 12-volt power outlets on all trims.
Chevy also equips every 2024 Equinox with active noise cancellation. This system filters out road and engine noise, resulting in a quieter cabin environment.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain share the same engine. Both compact SUVs have a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The engine develops 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque.
However, the 2024 Equinox has a six-speed automatic transmission, while the 2024 Terrain has a nine-speed automatic transmission. You might think more is better, but the 2024 Equinox's gearbox is more pleasant, particularly in-town driving. It uses the engine's torque rather than unnecessarily downshifting.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain come with front-wheel drive. Buyers can also pick all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive system monitors driving conditions in real time and automatically proportions torque to wheels with the best traction. Drivers can also switch the system off. This helps improve fuel economy when driving on tarmac.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain are rated to tow up to 1,500 pounds when equipped with the optional Trailering Package.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain share an identical safety specification list. Both compact SUVs have automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. They also come with airbags, child safety locks, and child seat anchors. Buyers can select adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. Further options include HD surround vision, plus front and rear parking assist.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox and the 2024 GMC Terrain are so closely matched that it's extremely difficult to name a winner. Yet, we find the 2024 Equinox squeezing into the lead, thanks to its nicer cabin. You'll appreciate its ergonomic design and gamut of standard features. Then, you'll be thankful for its impressive safety specifications and well-matched powertrain.
