2023 Chevrolet Equinox vs 2023 Chevrolet Traverse

In the 2023 Chevrolet SUV lineup, customers can find a wide range of options to suit their preferences. The compact Equinox offers more power than its size suggests, while the mid-size Traverse provides a third-row seating option. However, these two award-winning Chevy SUVs differ in more ways than just their size.

Performance

Both the Equinox and Traverse provide steady and confident driving performances. The Equinox comes equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower, while the Traverse features a turbocharged V6 engine that provides 310 horsepower. Additionally, the Equinox runs on a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the Traverse boasts a 9-speed automatic.

Appearance

Size is essential for SUV buyers, and the Traverse's 205.9-inch length gives it a long, athletic appearance. In contrast, the Equinox's 183.1-inch length offers a lean and sporty look. Both models feature Chevrolet's automatic on/off LED headlamps, with distinct designs. The Equinox features thick LED headlamps with a sweeping upward wing look, while the Traverse boasts slightly angled thin LED headlamps. Tinted glass and impressive wheel choices are available for both models, with a fully loaded Equinox sporting 18" aluminum wheels and the High Country Traverse adding 20" polished aluminum wheels and 20" all-season blackwall tires.

Features

Both the Equinox and Traverse offer leather-appointed upholstery, with Jet Black and Jet Black/Maple Sugar seat options. However, the Traverse also includes Jet Black/Chai perforated leather-appointed seats. Only the Traverse offers the highly esteemed High Country trim, while the Premier is the fully loaded trim for the Equinox. The High Country Traverse adds rear park assist and a rear vision camera to the Equinox's Premier trim. For those interested in a sunroof, the Equinox Premier offers an available panoramic power sunroof, while a fully loaded Traverse comes with a standard Dual SkyScape 2-panel power sunroof.
