Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Toyota Venza. The Chevrolet Equinox offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Venza, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Toyota Venza requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Equinox, 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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Equinox is a better financial choice over the Toyota Venza, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much wider than the Toyota Venza, 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 Toyota Venza.

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

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 Venza.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Equinox and the Toyota Venza. The Chevrolet Equinox has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Toyota Venza.
