When it comes to compact SUVs, you have countless options. The 2025 Chevy Equinox and 2025 Honda CR-V are both stellar picks. Let’s examine the pluses and minuses of each to find out which one comes out on top.
VS.
The Equinox comes in three configurations, ranging from the economical LT model to the well-equipped ACTIV. The CR-V comes in six trims, from the wallet-friendly LX to the well-appointed Sport Touring Hybrid. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer one step up from the base trim level, so let’s examine the standard features of the 2025 Chevy Equinox RS versus the 2025 Honda CR-V EX.
The Equinox packs a powerful 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine, delivering 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. 8-speed automatic transmission with standard AWD makes for a great driving experience. With an estimated fuel economy of 24 MPG city / 29 MPG highway, the Equinox strikes a good balance between power and efficiency.
The CR-V has an in-line 4-cylinder turbo engine under the hood for 190 hp and 179 lb-ft torque. Featuring a continuously variable transmission (CVT), available AWD and an estimated 26 MPG city / 31 MPG highway in the AWD configuration, the CR-V is also a practical option.
Overall, both the Equinox and CR-V are very good performers in most conditions.
The Chevy Equinox has an impressive set of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include HD rear vision camera, forward collision alert, safety alert seat, rear park assist, automatic emergency braking, blind zone steering assist, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and more.
The Honda CR-V also delivers when considering safety. The CR-V comes with a driver assist package that includes lane keeping assist, brake assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot information system, and other standard safety features.
If you like a comfortable interior that is well-equipped but not distracting, you’ll probably like the Equinox. Behind its attractive exterior styling is an interior with an 8-way power driver seat, heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, and an 11.3-inch advanced color LCD display with Google built-in, and all the conveniences you’ve come to expect from a well-equipped vehicle.
We have no major complaints about the CR-V’s interior. With dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 6-speaker audio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a 7-inch touch screen and more add up to a nice enough infotainment setup.
Chevrolet is highly regarded for iconic American styling, craftsmanship, value, and power. The 2025 Equinox upholds the reputation. The 2025 Honda CR-V is also a well-rounded option. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Chevy Equinox can’t be beat.
