2023 Chevrolet Equinox vs 2023 Chevrolet Traverse

For those in search of an SUV, the 2023 Chevrolet lineup has much to offer. The Equinox, a compact model, packs a powerful punch beyond its size, while the mid-size Traverse offers a third-row option for customers. Despite being award-winning Chevy SUVs, these two vehicles have their differences.

Performance

The Equinox and Traverse are known for their steady and confident driving performance. The Equinox is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, producing 175 horsepower, whereas the Traverse boasts a turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 310 horsepower. Additionally, while both SUVs come with automatic transmissions, the Equinox has a 6-speed automatic, and the Traverse has a 9-speed automatic.

Appearance

When it comes to SUVs, size is always a factor. The Traverse's length of 205.9 inches gives it a long and athletic appearance, while the Equinox's 183.1 inches gives it a lean and sporty look. Both models feature Chevrolet's automatic on/off LED headlamps but with different designs. The Equinox has sweeping upward wings for thick LED headlamps, while the Traverse has slightly angled thin LED headlamps. Both models offer tinted glass and impressive wheel options, with the Equinox coming equipped with 18" aluminum wheels in its fully loaded version and the High Country Traverse featuring 20" polished aluminum wheels and 20" all-season blackwall tires.

Features

Both the Equinox and Traverse offer leather-appointed upholstery options, including Jet Black and Jet Black/Maple Sugar. However, only the Traverse offers Jet Black/Chai perforated leather-appointed seats. If you're looking for the High Country trim, it's only available on the Traverse, while the Premier is the fully loaded trim for the Equinox. The High Country Traverse also comes with standard driver-assist features such as a rear park assist and a rear vision camera, which are included in the Equinox's Premier trim. The Equinox Premier offers an available panoramic power sunroof, while the fully loaded Traverse features a standard Dual SkyScape 2-panel power sunroof. Depending on your family's needs, these additional features can make for a more enjoyable driving experience for everyone.
