Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox EV than in the Volvo XC40. The Chevrolet Equinox EV will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40.

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 Volvo XC40.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox EV is much wider than the Volvo XC40, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Equinox EV, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Chevrolet Equinox EV has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Chevrolet Equinox EV has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Equinox EV has much lower torque than the Volvo XC40, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
