Although the 2020 Chevy Equinox as well as 2020 GMC Terrain are set up in the very same plant, share similar powertrains, and might also share the very same flooring area at the dealer, these two compact crossovers from General Motors have more than just daylight separating them.

The two compact crossovers have mass appeal. They're both tall-riding, five-passenger crossovers with touchscreens inside and also a long listing of upgrades that goes for hearts, minds, and importantly, budgets.

Which is worth your money? That concern asks a lot more questions. [tesla car accessories]Naturally, we'll attempt to answer them right here.
At first blush, the Surface's 6.5 TCC Score surpasses the Equinox's 6.0 rating. The two crossovers are practically indistinguishable to drive. Blindfold us behind the wheel of both and also we 'd have a difficult time discriminating. Wait, don't.
The two are stylistically separate but share almost the same skeletal systems below. However there's more. There's always much more.

For starters, the Chevrolet Equinox is more economical by a thin margin, although an apples-to-apples contrast widens that considerably. The 2020 Equinox L sets you back $24,995 to begin, and also the 2020 GMC Terrain SL sets you back $26,195. The $1,200 distinction remains in the information. The Equinox L is more challenging to spot in the wild than a jackalope as well as the GMC utilizes a 9-speed automatic that's not available on the Chevy's base engine.

Equally equipped, both spread out and also tighten up, which makes the information worth sweating.

For starters, both crossovers are equipped with 7.0-inch touchscreens with Apple CarPlay and also Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth connection, fabric furniture, and also automatic emergency braking. Their base engines are 1.5-liter turbo-4s that make 170 horse power; GMC pairs it with a 9-speed automatic while Chevy does it with a 6-speed. All-wheel drive is optional, yet out the base version of either-- you'll have to go up one trim level in both crossovers.
The 2020 GMC Terrain SLE can be equipped with four-wheel drive for $31,195, prior to choices. The 2020 Chevy Equinox LS can be geared up with four-wheel drive for $29,095, prior to alternatives. The Terrain has a better tool cluster, energetic noise cancellation, and a 9-speed automatic that the Equinox avoids with its 1.5-liter engine. Is the GMC $2,100 much better? Not truly.

With the uprated 252-hp 2.0-liter turbo-4, the race between both obtains weird-- and also wide. The 2.0-liter four-wheel drive GMC Surface SLT sets you back $37,415 and a 2.0-liter, four-wheel drive Chevy Equinox LT sets you back $32,795. That's a large void.

The GMC makes leather upholstery criterion; including leather to the Chevy needs some prereqs that send its price skyrocketing to $36,970. Opting for an 8.0-inch touchscreen in the Equinox brings its cost to $37,715, which is $300 more than the GMC, yet those mandatory packages include 19-inch wheels to the Equinox that the Surface doesn't have.

The Equinox is aces if high-end appointments like leather and also big wheels aren't a must-have; the GMC obtains more detailed if they are.

( The GMC Surface Denali and also upcoming AT4 have essentially no equal in the Chevy lineup. If you're looking for a luxe small crossover or a much more tough crossover, GM's decided for you.).

Our TCC Score favors the Surface due to the fact that its exterior and also deluxe trim levels increase the standard for the rest of the group. The Equinox is almost mechanically the same (other than its 6-speed automatic) and also similarly roomy.[shop now]

If an affordable price looks finest to you, the Equinox is worth that look. If you're aiming to make a declaration, or simply desire a half-step up from a mainstream car manufacturer, the GMC triumphes.
