If you're looking for a compact SUV that packs a punch, the Chevrolet Equinox 2024 and GMC Terrain 2024 deserve your consideration. Both share a powerful 1.5-litre turbo engine and a spacious interior for passengers and luggage. However, there are differences, particularly in terms of price and finish, that could weigh in your decision. If you're wondering which is best for you, read on.


What the two models have in common


Before exploring the differences between the 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Terrain, let's take a closer look at what the two models have in common.


Engine and fuel economy


The Terrain and Equinox engines are virtually identical. Both feature a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 175bhp and 203lb ft of torque. That's pretty impressive, especially compared to other compact SUVs on the market. Fuel consumption is equally impressive in both models. The Equinox is slightly more economical than the Terrain, but we're talking about 0.2 litres per 100 kilometres. In short, you won't notice the difference on your wallet in the long run. Above all, you'll notice how both models stand out from their rivals in terms of efficiency.


Interior space and load space


When it comes to interior space, the Terrain and Equinox won't disappoint. Both offer generous space for passengers and good storage space.

Both SUVs offer great value. That said, the Terrain is a little more expensive and the Denali version is by far the better equipped. In fact, the Terrain Denali is the most luxurious compact SUV on the market. The higher price of the Terrain comes with a higher level of refinement and a little more equipment for the same price. 


The 2024 Terrain is also the only one of the two models to offer an off-road version with the AT4 model.
