Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Honda HR-V. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Equinox and the Honda HR-V.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Equinox is somewhat more expensive than the Honda HR-V.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much wider than the Honda HR-V, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Equinox takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Honda HR-V.

Performance
The Chevrolet Equinox has a little more horsepower than the Honda HR-V.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Equinox does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Honda HR-V.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Equinox and the Honda HR-V. The Chevrolet Equinox has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Honda HR-V.
