Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Cadillac OPTIQ, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac OPTIQ and the Chevrolet Equinox.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac OPTIQ will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Equinox, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac OPTIQ is about the same width as the Chevrolet Equinox. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Cadillac OPTIQ, which is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Equinox.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac OPTIQ greatly out-muscles the Chevrolet Equinox.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac OPTIQ and the Chevrolet Equinox. The Cadillac OPTIQ has less cargo space than the Chevrolet Equinox, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
