2024 Equinox Vs 2024 Terrain in Augusta, GA

There’s just something about a great compact SUV. It doesn’t have to be a road hog to get noticed. It just has to be efficient, reliable, and stylish. When it comes to compact SUVs, the Chevy Equinox and the GMC Terrain lead the pack.

Loaded with cool technology and equally easy to drive on the highway or city streets, the Equinox and the Terrain go head-to-head to see which one comes out the winner.

Interior Comparison

With each, you get the same kind of spacious interior with room for five adults across two rows of seats. But the Equinox fares a little better in comparison because no one likes road noise. While the Terrain is a great ride, it’s just a skosh louder. That’s because the Equinox offers active noise cancellation as part of its standard package. The Equinox’s cutting-edge tech listens to the road and engine noise and sends out opposite sound waves to counteract it. That’s an eye-popping standard feature and one that guarantees a peaceful, quiet ride.

No matter what trim level you choose, you'll get Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, along with Bluetooth® in the Equinox.

Oh, and both the Equinox and Terrain have a Wi-Fi hotspot standard on all trims. If you're stepping up, higher trims can hook you up with heated and cooled front seats, a power-adjustable driver seat, a wireless phone charger, and a sweet Bose® sound system. And for folks who often have passengers in the back, you'll be happy to know heated rear seats are an option.

Both the Equinox and Terrain offer 30 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. Fold those seats down, and you've got 64 cubic feet of storage. The Equinox offers a couple of really nice bonuses, including a storage compartment in the floor, a retractable cargo shade, a vertical cargo net, and a collapsible cargo organizer.

Performance Comparison

The main difference between the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox and the 2024 GMC Terrain is the Equinox’s smooth six-speed automatic transmission. While the Terrain offers a nine-speed transmission, the Equinox is a little smoother. Otherwise, they share the same 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.

Both SUVs come with front-wheel drive as standard equipment, with the option to upgrade to all-wheel drive. The Equinox and Terrain can tow small loads, each able to handle up to 1,500 pounds. However, if you want to tow, you’re going to need to upgrade to GM’s optional Trailering Package.

The 2024 Equinox and 2024 Terrain are neck-and-neck when comparing safety features. Each is loaded with essentials like automatic emergency braking, airbags, child safety locks, and LATCH systems for child seats.
