Specs & Features: 2020 Chevy Traverse vs Equinox
SUVs are all the rage these days with consumers demanding more crossover ability from their daily way of transportation. The new 2020 Chevy Equinox (small SUV) and 2020 Chevy Traverse are both made for the long trip and will get you there safely. These SUVs are highly touted in those areas.
Traverse vs Equinox: Design Highlights
The outside of the new 2020 Traverse has been given a sharp look with LED rear taillights and running lights, and standard-equipped HID headlights. Drivers can also opt to upgrade to optional LED headlights for a distinct look. The new 2020 Equinox also comes equipped with HID headlights, but rear LED taillights are available along with LED headlights instead of a standard feature. The 2020 Traverse comes equipped with 18" Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels and 6 available 20" wheel upgrades, where the Chevy Equinox comes standard with 17" aluminum wheels and 5 wheel upgrade upgrades in 18-inch and 19-inch. The Chevy Equinox can fit up to 5 and the 2020 Traverse with its expanded seating capabilities can fit up to 8.
Traverse vs Equinox: Performance
The new 2020 Traverse utilizes a standard 310 horsepower, 266 lb-ft of torque 3.6L V6 engine mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The new 2020 Equinox on the other hand uses a smaller standard 170hp, 203 lb/ft torque 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission. A 260 lb/ft torque, 252hp 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine paired with 9-speed automatic transmission is available.
Tech Highlights
When it comes to tech packages, the Chevy Traverse and the Chevy Equinox measure up. These vehicles come standard with a 7 inch color touchscreen infotainment hub loaded with tech and compatibility like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. A larger 8 inch HD color touchscreen with built in navigation system is an optional upgrade on both models. More equipped features are an 8-way power driver seat, active noise cancellation, and tire pressure monitoring system. A Bose Sound System upgrade is available on both vehicles for those hi-fi audio addicts. All in all, both the 2020 Chevy Traverse and the 2020 Chevy Equinox checks most of the boxes the average consumer will be looking for. The option between the two models is merely a question of size.
