2022 Chevy Equinox vs. 2022 Honda CR-V

Are you in the market for a new compact SUV for your Clinton commute? The 2022 Chevy Equinox and the 2022 Honda CR-V are top contenders in their class, but which model is right for your daily drives? While both SUVs offer excellent safety features, a comfortable interior, and strong performance, Herrin-Gear Chevrolet customers will find that the 2022 Chevy Equinox offers more power behind the wheel and more standard features than the Honda CR-V. Compare both vehicles with our team below, then contact our team to arrange a time for a test drive!

Chevy Equinox vs. Honda CR-V: Performance

When you shop for a new SUV, you want to make sure it has the performance ratings you want for your daily drives in Brandon. While the Honda CR-V offers more horsepower than the Equinox up front, the Equinox offers more lb-ft of torque. This means that drivers will be able to draw on more power and be able to pull heavier equipment with the Equinox towing capacity. Additionally, many drivers will find that the 170hp offered by the Chevy Equinox is more than enough for their commute and weekend road trips. 

• 2022 Chevrolet Equinox Base Engine: 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder achieves 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque

• 2022 Honda CR-V Base Engine: Inline 4-cylinder with turbocharger achieves 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque

Chevy Equinox vs. Honda CR-V: Infotainment 

Buying a new vehicle is an exciting time, especially if you’re upgrading from an older model. New vehicles come with the latest technology for your connectivity and convenience, but some models require you to upgrade to a higher package to receive standard features. The Chevy Equinox offers a number of standard features on its entry-level model, while Honda CR-V requires an upgrade to receive the same technology. See some of the features you’ll find standard on the Chevy Equinox below:

• 7-inch Infotainment Touchscreen (CR-V’s standard screen is 5 inches)
• Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ Integration (requires upgrade)
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot Capability (requires upgrade)

Chevy Equinox vs. Honda CR-V: Safety

Safety features are another important factor in a new SUV purchase. Both the Chevy Equinox and Honda CR-V share comprehensive safety systems: the Chevy Safety Assist and Honda Sensing®, respectively. However, a number of these features come standard on the Equinox, while they require a package upgrade on the Honda CR-V:

• Automatic Emergency Braking (standard for both)
• Forward Collision Alert (standard for both)
• Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Departure Warning (standard for both)
• Front Pedestrian Braking (standard for Equinox, available for CR-V)
• Following Distance Indicator (standard for Equinox, available for CR-V)
• IntelliBeam automatic high beams (exclusive to Equinox)

Chevy Equinox vs. Honda CR-V: Roadside Assistance

When you shop for any new SUV, you’ll receive a comprehensive roadside assistance package for your Madison drives. However, the Chevy roadside assistance program offered on the Equinox offers longer coverage than the Honda CR-V, ensuring you’re protected for many years after your Equinox purchase. 

• 2022 Chevrolet Equinox Roadside Assistance: 60 months/60,000 miles

• 2022 Honda CR-V Roadside Assistance: 36 months/36,000 miles
