Interior Comparison

The 2023 Terrain has a roomy and welcoming interior. This vehicle makes an accommodating partner for towing heavy cargo of all sizes. You should credit the front seats that you can fold flat and the 60/40 split-folding rear seats.

The Terrain's cargo area can rival other vehicles in its class. It can fit up to 24 carry-on luggage when the back seats are folded.

The Terrain's infotainment system is simple to use and responsive to commands. The touchscreen has logical menus, clear graphics, and the newest in-car connectivity features. The Terrain has a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ as standard tech features.

The top Denali model comes standard with an in-dash navigation system. This feature is optional in other models. The Denali also comes with a head-up display, which is optional in the SLT and AT4 trims. The Terrain uses a pop-up panel on the dashboard instead of projecting this feature onto the windshield like other GM vehicles.

You should choose a model from the higher trim levels to feel more comfortable inside the Equinox. The Chevrolet SUV has a smaller storage area than other vehicles in its class. It can only fit eight carry-on luggage. The Equinox's cabin storage is only average, save for a large center console storage bin.

Performance Comparison

The Terrain offers a cozy, comfortable journey for its passengers. Under the hood of the Terrain is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. A nine-speed automatic transmission sends power to a front- or all-wheel drive system. On extended highway trips, the softly sprung suspension is a blessing.

The EPA gives the Terrain with front-wheel drive a rating of 25 mpg for city driving and 30 mpg for highway driving. Choosing an all-wheel drive model drops the estimate to 28 mpg.

The Equinox's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine lacks power and often makes the car gasp for air. It also takes a strong step on the gas pedal to nudge the Equinox up to highway speeds.

Safety Features Comparison

The Terrain has many driver-assistance features, such as lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Adaptive cruise control is also available. The Equinox has the same standard and optional driver aids as the Terrain.
