Now, let's consider how the 2020 Traverse stacks up against the 2021 Equinox in our Chevy SUV comparison.

Comparing Chevrolet's Equinox & Traverse SUVs

Since the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox is a compact CUV and the 2020 Traverse is mid-size, it should come as no shock that the latter has a more spacious interior. The compact Equinox boasts standard 5-passenger seating in two rows, while the family-focused Traverse boasts seating for up to eight in its standard 3-row configuration.

Even if you don't anticipate needing a third row due to your family's size, it may come in handy at times. Plus, with the Traverse, you gain added cargo capacity when that third row is folded.

On the other hand, many motorists may prefer the Equinox and its compact footprint for navigating Austin, TX, traffic. This agile compact SUV still provide ample seating space for up to five occupants, as well as an impressive 63.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity!

While these two Chevy SUVs certainly offer some similar or even identical features, such as the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, a Rear Vision Camera and loads of driver-assist and active safety features, the Traverse does offer some premium amenities you won't find available on the smaller Equinox. Still, the mid-size Traverse boasts a higher starting price, so certain exclusive features are to be expected.

With its standard V6 engine, 8-passenger seating and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, the Traverse is certainly the way to go if you plan on towing a boat, equipment or other items on a trailer and transporting more than five occupants.

If you don't need that level of capability for your adventures near Round Rock, TX, then the more fuel-efficient and agile 2021 Equinox could be just what you're after! There is a $6,000 gap in the starting MSRP of these two Chevy SUVs, which could certainly play a factor when making your purchase or lease decision.
