Performance

We'd like to begin this overview with a quick look at what lies underneath the hood of these SUVs. It is where you will find the same standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine powering both. For the Equinox, it supplies 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. For the CR-V, you can expect 190 horsepower¹ and 179 lb.-ft. of torque². This verve is put to better use on the Equinox, as the standard 8-speed automatic transmission provides smoother movements than the CR-V's standard Continuously Variable Transmission. Both models bring an available AWD system, ensuring secure handling even as it continues to rain on your East Coast drives. 

Interior

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is much more equipped to aid in relaxing you than the 2026 Honda CR-V. The former brings heated front-row seats standard, while you must go for a higher trim level to do the same on the latter. The same can be said for the heated steering wheel, meaning your fingers will be kept warm on the Equinox with no issue. But if you're looking to keep cool instead, then you'll certainly want to take to the helm of the Equinox for its available ventilated front-row chairs. These are completely missing on the Honda CR-V. The standard 4-speaker sound system on the CR-V is also outdone by the standard 6-speaker setup on the Chevrolet model. 

Exterior

One look at the Equinox's exterior will show you just how this model reigns supreme over the CR-V. It has optional roof rails for storing oversized items, while the Honda CR-V does not have this on any trim level. Heated side-view mirrors are standard on the Equinox so that you won't have to worry about them fogging up. This feature is only found available on the CR-V. The optional 19-inch wheels on the Equinox also dwarf the CR-V optional 18-inch variants, so it has a more imposing stature too. Moreover, it has an available dual-pane moonroof, which offers more customization choices than the optional one-touch power moonroof on the CR-V.
