The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating

6.8
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.
