Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Equinox offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Lexus GX 550, with comparable 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 Lexus GX 550.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Equinox as you will with the Lexus GX 550, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Equinox is a better financial choice over the Lexus GX 550, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much slimmer than the Lexus GX 550, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Equinox, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Lexus GX 550.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Equinox has a lot less horsepower than the Lexus GX 550.

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 Lexus GX 550.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Equinox and the Lexus GX 550. The Chevrolet Equinox has significantly less cargo capacity than the Lexus GX 550.
