Equinox Vs Escape
Equinox Vs Escape
The Chevrolet Equinox is a crossover SUV that was introduced by Chevrolet in 2004. It was intended as a replacement for Chevrolet Tracked and the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. Chevrolet completely redesigned the Equinox in 2018 for the first time since 2010. The new model is slightly smaller and more responsive, with a lineup of turbocharged four-cylinder engines and Chevrolet’s latest MyLink infotainment system
The Chevolet Equinox has been in direct competition with the Ford Escape for many years. Both models have been providing drivers and families with fuel-efficient and versatile performance for years. They have a lot of similarities but also differences that make the Chevrolet Equinox stand out.
Both of these crossover SUVs feature a 1.5 litre turbo charged engine, but the Equinox features 4 cylinders, while the escape only has 3. This along with the 203 pound-feet of torque, provide the Equinox with a bit more ooomp on the road.
In terms of towing, they are comparable. They can both tow a light trailer, or a hitch mounted cargo box, or a bike carrier. If you’re looking to tow your large trailer you will want to look at a larger SUV or truck with more towing capability.

The Chevy Equinox is slightly larger on the outside and sits on a longer wheelbase. Their interiors are almost identical. Both seat 5 and have similar sizes when it comes to leg room/head room.
