2021 GMC Terrain vs 2021 Chevy Equinox In Houma, LA
2021 GMC Terrain vs. 2021 Chevy Equinox
As is common with vehicles under the General Motors umbrella, the GMC Terrain and the Chevrolet Equinox ride on the same underpinnings and offer very similar features, which can make it difficult to make a choice between these two five-seater SUVs. The differences between these vehicles often come down to the small details, which can make or break your experience in a car. Let’s take a look at the similarities and differences between the 2021 GMC Terrain and the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox to see which truly takes the lead.
Performance
Though the 2021 Terrain and the 2021 Equinox have the same engine specs – a 1.5-liter with 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque – the Terrain’s base engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission while the Equinox’s engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, and the extra speeds in the Terrain make a huge difference. Both SUVs also offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in upper trim levels.
Interior Comparison
GMC vehicles are known for having a twist of luxury that other brands other than the General Motors umbrella can’t quite match, and that is definitely the case between the 2021 Terrain and the 2021 Equinox. Though both vehicles have the same standard features – a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, and cloth upholstery – the upper trim levels of these two SUVs diverge on wildly different paths. The Terrain has a far more upscale interior and premium features come standard in the upper trim levels, whereas the Equinox requires package upgrades and add-ons to get features like a bigger touchscreen or leather upholstery.
As the Terrain and the Equinox ride on the same platform, their interior measurements are practically identical from front to back, with up to 63 cubic-feet of cargo space available in both SUVs.
Safety Features
Driver assistance features are a big part of buying a new car in 2021, and you’ll be glad to know that you’ll be covered in a General Motors vehicle as they take your safety on the road very seriously. Both the Terrain and the Equinox come standard with lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, a following distance indicator, and the Teen Driver function. The Teen Driver function is exclusive to General Motors vehicles and allows you to limit the speed and volume as well as activate certain driver assistance features while a learning driver is behind the wheel.
