THE EXTERIOR

The Equinox has a stylish, aggressive look. Its swept front profile gives it a dynamic modern engineered appearance. The suspension provides a smooth ride under a range of a full host of conditions, and the cabin remains quiet even at high speeds.

The Terrain suffers from an overly boxy appearance, with a front hood and engine compartment that looks oversized compared to the rest of the vehicle, leading to an ungainly front-loaded appearance. If you look past the design, however, you can find a smooth ride with the GMC Terrain.

THE INTERIOR

The Chevy Equinox interior has undergone a substantial upgrade for 2018, and it shows. The look of all trim levels is rich, even for the less expensive models that feature more hard surfaces. Higher trim levels opt for more soft surfaces for a luxurious feel.

The Terrain has a nice interior, though you may find yourself too distracted by the relatively high cabin noise to fully enjoy it. High-quality material is used, but expect to see that reflected in the higher price point.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The Equinox comes equipped with an information and entertainment system with many standard features including Android Auto, Apple Carplay and 4G LTE OnStar, which also works as a Wi-Fi hotspot, all accessed through a generous 7-inch touchscreen.

The GMC Terrain features the same system, making them evenly matched. But with the Chevy Equinox, you are getting the same technology features as standard but at a lower price point overall.

SAFETY FIRST

The Chevy Equinox offers more precise steering than the Terrain, and is surer in handling corners, with little sense of body roll leading to a feeling you are in safe hands.

The Terrain is not far behind but is somewhat unwieldy when it comes to handling. Both share common safety features like a rearview camera and the Teen Driver system. Beyond this, optional safety features are available on both vehicles.
