When it comes to what’s under their respective hoods, the 2023 Chevy Equinox and the 2023 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 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.

When it comes to their drivability, the Equinox may be the stabler option. This SUV comes standard with all-wheel drive to help maintain control in low-traction situations, like inclement weather or loose terrain. Although the GMC offers all-wheel drive, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim level to experience it.

Due to their identical engines, you can expect a close race when it comes to their fuel economy. In fact, both SUVs earn an EPA-estimated 24 city MPG rating, meaning you can confidently take on miles of city streets without visiting the pump.

When it comes to your long-distance travels, though, the Equinox slightly edges out the Terrain in highway miles:

• Chevy: EPA-estimated 30 highway MPG
• GMC: EPA-estimated 29 highway MPG

The difference is small; however, on top of efficient driving techniques, you can make the most out of that extra mile.

Inside both the 2023 Chevy Equinox and the 2023 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 63 total cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down. With this kind of space, you’ll be able to pack a weekend’s worth of camping equipment, huge hauls of groceries, and more.

We know you want to have the most peaceful experience possible. The Chevy Equinox’s standard Active Noise Cancellation feature helps achieve that! This intelligent feature:

The result? A serene cabin experience that leaves road noise where it belongs. Unfortunately, the GMC Terrain doesn’t offer a similar amenity.

As 2023 models, both the Chevy Equinox and the GMC Terrain are proficient when it comes to connectivity. Both models sport intuitive infotainment systems with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth®, and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Plus, you can control either SUV’s infotainment system with your voice! That means you can call up your best friend or ask to switch to the next song without taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel.

Both the Equinox and the Terrain would fare well as camping companions, road trip rides, or savvy sets of wheels. Whether you’re off the grid or traveling long distances, you can ensure all your devices are charged up in either SUV.

For starters, the GMC offers a 110-volt power outlet, which is great for phone charging or other devices. The Chevy’s 120-volt power outlet pumps out a bit more juice, making it a great option for laptops, an air pump, or your coffeemaker!
