Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Explorer than in the Chevrolet Equinox EV, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Ford Explorer will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Equinox EV.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Equinox EV will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Ford Explorer.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox EV is much slimmer than the Ford Explorer, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Chevrolet Equinox EV is slightly shorter than the Ford Explorer, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
