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). The Chevrolet Equinox EV is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Ascent.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a little wider than the Subaru Ascent, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Chevrolet Equinox EV is slightly shorter than the Subaru Ascent, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Chevrolet Equinox EV has the same turning radius as the Subaru Ascent, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

The Chevrolet Equinox EV has much lower torque than the Subaru Ascent, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
