This turbocharged engine pushes out 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet also offers a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine for the Equinox that outputs 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The other optional engine for the Equinox is a 137 horsepower 1.6-liter diesel.

Toyota RAV4 models are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that output 172 lb-ft of torque and 176 horsepower. The RAV4 automatically shifts through an automatic six-speed transmission. The standard drivetrain for the RAV4 is front-wheel-drive, but all-wheel-drive is optional.

Chevrolet Equinox Features & Design

Features in the different trim levels vary depending on which model year you are looking at, but we’ll let you know what you can expect to find inside an Equinox. The base L model is most likely going to come with Bluetooth, a backup camera, heated mirrors, keyless entry, USB ports, and LED daytime running lights. On the higher trim levels, you will come across heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless device charging, perforated leather upholstery, a power liftgate, remote start, an 8-inch touchscreen, and rear parking sensors. When shopping for used Equinox models, you may also come across optional features like ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, a sunroof, navigation, and more!
