Chevy Equinox vs GMC Terrain

Chevy Equinox vs GMC Terrain: Performance Specs

When it comes to what’s under the front hood, the 2021 Chevy Equinox and the 2021 GMC Terrain have a lot in common. Standardly, both models are equipped with peppy 1.5L turbocharged engines. As such, both SUVs also offer identical output numbers with 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.

Thanks to all this power and other optional equipment, both the Equinox and the Terrain can tow up to 1,500 pounds of trailer weight. The Equinox takes performance one step further, though, with an EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway MPG. The Terrain only earns an EPA-estimated 25 city/30 highway MPG.

Chevy Equinox vs GMC Terrain: Interior Space & Comfort

Inside both the 2021 Chevy Equinox and the 2021 GMC Terrain, you’ll find five spacious seats, including more than 40 inches of front legroom. You’ll also get plenty of space for all your cargo, starting with 29.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats in the GMC and 29.9 cubic feet under the same conditions in the Chevy.

Both models also offer more than 60 total cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down. With this kind of space, you’ll be able to pack in a weekend’s worth of camping equipment, huge hauls of groceries, and more.

The Equinox excels when it comes to added comfort, though. This model comes equipped with an Active Noise Cancellation system. This works to block and absorb sounds and vibrations to create a peaceful interior experience. This feature does not come on the Terrain.
