Equinox vs CR-V: Performance Specs

Generally speaking, the 2020 Honda CR-V has about half the brawn and capability that the 2020 Chevy Equinox brings to the table. The Honda gives you one engine option with 190 horsepower to offer, which is much lower than the average model in this class. Consequently, you’ll only get to tow up to 1,500 pounds with this model.

Compare these specs to those of the Equinox: two engines, 252 horsepower, and more than twice as much towing capability. When properly equipped, the Equinox can handle up to 3,500 pounds of trailer weight. Looks like you’ll be renting a boat at the lake or staying in hotels rather than bringing the hard-side camper along with you.

Equinox vs CR-V: Interior Space

Inside the Chevy Equinox and the Honda CR-V, you’ll have plenty of space for passengers. Both models offer five spacious seats with around 40 inches of legroom for all five passengers, making every ride comfortable no matter where you sit.

Additionally, both provide plenty of room for all kinds of cargo. With all five seats in place, the CR-V offers 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space. The Equinox offers 63.9 total cubic feet of cargo space. Customize your cargo space with standard 60/40-split folding second-row seats.

The Equinox makes packing your cargo even easier with its Hands-Free Liftgate. This feature, which is only available in the top trim level of the CR-V, allows you to use a quick swiping motion under the bumper to open your tailgate. Opt for this feature in several of the Equinox trim levels.

Equinox vs CR-V: Technology Features

Both the Chevy Equinox and the Honda CR-V offer smart infotainment systems. With these systems, you’ll get a convenient touchscreen display, smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and available turn-by-turn navigation.

On top of all these features that the Equinox has in common with the CR-V, it also offers a handful of unique features. One of these extra features offered by only the Equinox is an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot.

Your passengers can use this hotspot to connect to the internet for unlimited surfing and streaming, right from the comfort of your crossover. Unfortunately, passengers in the CR-V will have to wait until they get to their destination or use their personal phone data while on the road.
