Start with what comes standard
One of the easiest ways to compare two SUVs is to look at what you get before you start adding options. The Chevrolet Equinox includes a strong list of standard features:
- Blind Spot Steering Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert for added awareness when changing lanes and backing out of parking spaces
- Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and heated power side mirrors for cold mornings
- An 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen
- Google built-in
- 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance
On the Honda CR-V, many comparable features depend on the trim level or come as optional equipment. That does not make the CR-V a bad choice. It just means you should compare trim to trim and look at the final price with the features you want, not just the starting price.
Why cold-weather features matter in Bloomington
Heated seats, a heated steering wheel and heated mirrors sound like extras until the first frosty morning in November. If those features are on your must-have list, check how each SUV delivers them and what it costs to add them.
Think about the technology you will use every day
A large touchscreen and Google built-in put navigation, voice commands and your favorite apps in the same place. Spend a few minutes in each vehicle connecting your phone and trying the controls. The system you find easiest to use is likely the one you will like after the first year.
A simple checklist for your comparison
- Compare the same trim level on both vehicles.
- List the features you will use every day, such as heated seats, driver-assist features and the touchscreen, and see which are standard.
- Compare the total price after the features you want are included.
- Check warranty and roadside assistance coverage.
- Look at ownership: where you will get service and what that experience is like.
Drive both, then decide
Specs only go so far. Seat comfort, visibility, road noise and how the vehicle feels on your commute can only be judged from behind the wheel. Stop by Curry Auto Center, take an Equinox out on the roads you drive every day, and our team will walk you through the features, pricing and options side by side.
