2019 Chevy Equinox vs. 2018 Honda CR-V

Whether you’re looking to tow, accelerate, or save money at the gas pump, the 2019 Chevy Equinox is a better choice than the 2018 Honda CR-V:

• Chevy Equinox – The 2019 Chevy Equinox is offered with three different engines, including a turbo-diesel 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that generates a best-in-class 39 mpg highway and 28 mpg city while pumping out 240 lb-ft of torque. Looking for more power than that? There’s also a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that makes 252 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and helps the Equinox tow up to 3,500 pounds.
• Honda CR-V – The Honda CR-V is only offered with two different engines, including a base 2.4L 4-cylinder that makes only 184 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque, and an optional turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that gets just 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. There’s no version of the CR-V that gets better than 34 mpg highway and 28 mpg city.
