2015 Chevrolet Equinox vs. Its Competition

2015 Chevrolet Equinox
Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

The 2015 Equinox offers Chevrolet a solid, versatile entry to the family crossover segment.

By comparison, the Ford Escape offers more technology and a more engaging engine lineup, but it's not as comfortable or quiet as the Equinox.

The Subaru Forester finally presents a viable alternative with excellent all-wheel-drive driving dynamics, as well as a considerably better interior than past models.

The Honda CR-V always has reliability on its side, and also offers ample versatility.

The Hyundai Tucson may be slightly smaller, but offers better fuel economy than the Equinox.

And, the GMC Terrain costs slightly more than its platform-mate, but some may prefer its truck-like styling over that of the Equinox.
