GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox: Performance

When comparing the performance of the GMC Terrain vs. Chevy Equinox, you’ll find that both SUVs house a lively 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine under the hood, capable of 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. Both vehicles possess a 1,500-pound towing capacity, which will come in handy around Hernando Beach. 

They may share the same base engine, but the GMC Terrain has a standard 9-speed automatic transmission, while the Chevy Equinox has a 6-speed automatic transmission. The additional gears on the GMC Terrain’s transmission mean smoother acceleration and a more comfortable ride quality.

GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox: Base Trim Interiors 

You won’t find any differences when comparing the interior dimensions in the Equinox vs. Terrain. Whether you choose the GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox, both vehicles have a five-passenger capacity with identical measurements, including 40.9 inches of front-row legroom and 29.6 cubic feet of trunk volume. 

But it’s a different story when you compare the interior amenities of the GMC Terrain vs. Chevy Equinox. The Terrain is a more premium SUV with higher-end options in its base trim. If you want to access some of those options in the Equinox, you would need to upgrade to a higher trim. 

Here are a few examples of features that are standard or available in the base GMC Terrain, but not in the base Chevy Equinox:

• Standard automatic climate control
• Available heated front driver and passenger seats
• Available SkyScape® power sunroof
• Available Adaptive Cruise Control
• Available 8-inch diagonal GMC Infotainment System with Navigation
• Available HD Rear Vision Camera
