Are you looking to buy an SUV? If you don’t have a particular model in mind, it pays to compare a few of them to see what they offer – or perhaps don’t offer. With this comparison, you will see how the Chevy Equinox and Dodge Durango match-up in a couple of important areas:
Fuel Economy
For its class, the Chevy Equinox gets great gas mileage. With the base engine and front-wheel drive, it offers 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. Even if you go with the bigger engine and all-wheel drive, you will still get 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. The best the Dodge Durango offers in terms of fuel economy is still worse than the lowest numbers you’d get with the Chevy Equinox: 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.
Safety
If you’re looking for an SUV that will help keep you safe, the Chevy Equinox won’t disappoint. It comes with an assortment of standard features, including:
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane-departure waring
- Pedestrian detection
- A rearview camera
- Forward collision warning
- Lane-keep assist
- A following distance indicator
- A rear-seat reminder
- The Teen Driver system
- Automatic high-beam headlights
You can also get rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. The only advanced safety feature that comes standard in the Dodge Durango is a rearview camera. Anything else requires an upgrade.
