2023 Chevrolet Equinox vs 2023 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2023 Chevrolet lineup offers a promising range of options for SUV seekers. The Equinox, a compact model, packs a punch beyond its size, while the Traverse is a mid-size SUV with a third-row option. However, their differences extend beyond size, and here's what sets these award-winning Chevy SUVs apart.

Performance

Both the Equinox and Traverse are renowned for their confident and stable driving experience. Equinox's 1.5L 4-cylinder engine generates 175 horsepower, while the Traverse's turbocharged V6 churns out 310 horsepower. While both models have automatic transmissions, the Equinox comes with a 6-speed automatic, and the Traverse boasts a 9-speed automatic.

Appearance

Size matters to most SUV buyers, and the Traverse's 205.9-inch length exudes a robust and sleek appearance, while the Equinox's 183.1-inch length gives it a lean and athletic look. Both models come with Chevrolet's exceptional automatic on/off LED headlamps but have different designs. The Equinox's headlamps sweep upwards with a wing-like appearance, while the Traverse has slightly angled thin LED headlamps. Tinted glass and impressive wheel choices are available for both models. Equinox's fully loaded model sports 18" aluminum wheels, while the High Country Traverse adds 20" polished aluminum wheels and 20" all-season blackwall tires.

Features

Both the Equinox and Traverse offer leather-appointed upholstery, with Jet Black and Jet Black/Maple Sugar options for both. The Traverse also has Jet Black/Chai perforated leather-appointed seats. The Traverse's High Country trim is exclusively available with this model, while the Premier is the top trim level for the Equinox. The High Country Traverse also comes with standard driver-assist features like rear park assist and a rear vision camera, which are available on the Equinox's Premier trim. If you prefer a sunroof, the Equinox Premier offers a panoramic power sunroof, while the fully loaded Traverse comes with a standard Dual SkyScape 2-panel power sunroof. Depending on your needs, these additions make the ride more enjoyable for the whole family.
