Comfort

As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Equinox and the Volkswagen Taos.
Convenience

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). Whether you pick the Chevrolet Equinox or the Volkswagen Taos, it's going to cost you about the same.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Chevrolet Equinox and the Volkswagen Taos have similar Destination Charges.

For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Equinox, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Taos.
Handling
The Chevrolet Equinox has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Taos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

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 Volkswagen Taos.
Utility

The Chevrolet Equinox has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen Taos.
