2020 Honda CR-V vs 2020 Chevrolet Equinox near Washington, DC

2020 Honda CR-V vs 2020 Chevrolet Equinox near Washington, DC

Pictured above is the 2020 Honda CR-V Touring in Sonic Gray Pearl.

Here at Honda of Chantilly, we want you to be positive that you’re making the right choice with your purchase of the 2020 Honda CR-V. To give you the reassurance you desire, we’re matching it up against the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox so you can see how it can take on even the toughest competitors. Once you’ve got the confidence you need, meet with our Finance Department to acquire the keys to the Honda.

Performance

When you turn the key in the ignition of the CR-V, it will immediately grab your attention with its low and aggressive growl. That’s all thanks to the standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower1 for your enjoyment. While the Equinox features the same size powertrain, it might not excite you as much with its 170 horsepower. And, if you thought that the Honda’s extra muscle would come at the cost of fuel economy, guess again. With its standard Continuously Variable Transmission and FWD, the CR-V gets a 28/34 MPG city/hwy2 fuel economy. On the other hand, with FWD and its standard 6-speed automatic transmission, the Equinox gets a 26/31 MPG city/hwy3 rating, so more stops to the pump are inevitable. Clearly, the SUV from Honda steals the show in terms of performance.

Safety

Fortunately, whether you go with the 2020 Honda CR-V or 2020 Chevrolet Equinox, you’ll be protected by a sophisticated array of safety systems. Both SUVs provide standard Forward Collision Alert4,5 and Lane Departure Warning5,6, so you’ll be notified when a potential accident is detected ahead or you start drifting from your intended path. However, one way the Honda stands out is with its standard Adaptive Cruise Control7 with Low Speed Follow. This technology doesn’t come on the base edition of the Equinox! Similarly, the Road Departure Mitigation System8 is only featured on the CR-V, and it works by adjusting your trajectory when you start to move off course. Last but not least, you can secure booster seats in the back with ease in either ride since both have Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children.

Interior

Honda vehicles have always been known for their comfortable and tech-forward interiors, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the CR-V will reinvigorate your passion for the road. We’ll begin with its available 12-way power-adjustable driver’s chair, which outdoes the Equinox’s optional 8-way power seat. And, if you like having options when it comes to what you listen to on Ohio Drive, the CR-V is the only one of the bunch that comes standard with Pandora®9 compatibility. That being said, these SUVs share quite a few notable features worth talking about. As an example, with the help of Bluetooth®10,11, you’ll easily be able to sync a phone to access your customized playlists and make calls. Moreover, the CR-V and Equinox can both be equipped with ambient lighting!

With so much left unsaid about the battle between the 2020 Honda CR-V vs 2020 Chevrolet Equinox near Washington, DC, you’ll want to contact us, Honda of Chantilly, for the remaining details.
