TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is every bit as solid, spacious, and well-equipped as cost-conscious families could expect -- and far more quiet and refined than many other models without a luxury badge.

The 2014 Dodge Journey offers three rows of seats in an easy-to-manage package, all for an affordable price.
