TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 Chevy Equinox shoots right down Main Street for value and features, especially with newly standard active safety equipment. The 2020 GMC Terrain is a stylish crossover SUV that we wish had more standard safety gear. The 2020 Subaru Forester is an incredible value among compact crossovers and a former Best Car To Buy winner.
