2022 Terrain vs. 2022 Equinox Comparison in Queensbury, NY

2022 GMC Terrain vs. 2022 Chevrolet Equinox

On the market for a new family vehicle? Take a look at the accommodations in the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox and the 2022 GMC Terrain for sale in Queensbury, NY. Being corporate cousins means these two vehicles have a lot in common. So, we wouldn’t be surprised if you’re having a hard time choosing between the two. They both have intuitive infotainment systems, lots of cabin space, and a healthy list of standard features. But they aren’t identical. The GMC Terrain stands out among compact SUVs because of its rugged, truck-like exterior design. The Equinox, on the other hand, blends in with other vehicles on the market and probably won’t turn heads the way the Terrain does. Inside and under the hood there are even more distinguishing factors that set these two SUVs apart. Read on for an in-depth comparison of the 2022 Terrain and the 2022 Equinox.

Terrain vs Equinox: Power and Performance Review

At first glance, these compact SUVs look very similar when you pop the hood. They both have a 170-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. On further inspection though, you’ll note a distinct difference. While the Terrain sports a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission the Equinox has a less impressive six-speed automatic transmission. Although it gets the job done, some reviewers report that the Equinox transmission is slow to downshift.

All that said, both vehicles have enough oomph to shuttle you and your family around town and up to highway speeds. Plus, their suspension systems will provide you with a pleasant riding experience.

Terrain vs Equinox: Interior Review

Similar to the exterior design, car buyers will find that the 2022 Terrain has a more stylish interior with higher quality materials and a more future-focused design than the Equinox. The 2022 Equinox has a sturdy but subdued interior.

The Terrain seats five occupants comfortably and has enough head and legroom throughout the cabin for adults to ride all day without complaint. It has a great range of materials that start with soft-touch plastics and cloth upholstery in the lower trims and has available perforated leather upholstery. It also has an innovative, push-button gear shifter and available heated and ventilated seats.

When it comes to cargo space the Terrain gives families the power to fully maximize their seating and cargo space. It has a maximum cargo capacity of 63.6 cubic feet of space complemented by a standard 60/40 split rear bench seat and an available fold-flat front passenger seat.

The 2022 Equinox also seats five people in a roomy cabin and has middling standard materials that include hard and soft plastics. Behind the rear seat, it has 29.9 cubic feet of cargo space and a total cargo capacity of 63.9 cubic feet of space.

Terrain vs Equinox: Infotainment and Technology Review

There’s not much to differentiate the infotainment systems in these vehicles. They both have a 7-inch touchscreen system that can be upgraded to an optional 8-inch touchscreen. The only difference between them is that the Terrain has a standard Wi-fi hot spot and the Equinox does not. Other features that are included or available in both models are:

•Android Auto /Apple CarPlay® •Wireless device charging •Seven-speaker Bose stereo •Satellite radio •Four USB ports
