Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Equinox offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Toyota Grand Highlander, with comparable head- and legroom. The Toyota Grand Highlander will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than 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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Equinox is a better financial choice over the Toyota Grand Highlander, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much slimmer than the Toyota Grand Highlander, 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 Toyota Grand Highlander.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Equinox has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota Grand Highlander.

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 Toyota Grand Highlander.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Chevrolet Equinox seats a lot fewer people than the Toyota Grand Highlander. The Chevrolet Equinox has significantly less cargo capacity than the Toyota Grand Highlander.
