Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Sportage than in the Chevrolet Equinox, 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 Chevrolet Equinox and the Kia Sportage.
Convenience
The Chevrolet Equinox requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Kia Sportage, making it more convenient to drive.
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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Equinox will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia Sportage.
Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much wider than the Kia Sportage, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Equinox takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Sportage.
Performance
The Chevrolet Equinox has a little less horsepower than the Kia Sportage.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Equinox does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Sportage.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Equinox and the Kia Sportage.
The Chevrolet Equinox has less cargo space than the Kia Sportage, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
