Putting all the nonsense aside and just getting to the facts, the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox starts at $23,580 and is at the top of its class. Hardly any other SUV matches its seamlessly balanced combination of power, intelligence, size, fuel efficiency, and affordability. Even though the 2018 GMC Terrain is not far behind and is a part of Chevrolet’s brother manufacturer, it falls short on a few of these stats.
It is truly a challenge to compare these two highly capable SUVs, but that just means that even the smallest detail will count. The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is more affordable in starting price by over $1,000 and just a bit larger in size, giving it just a gentle push ahead.
When it comes to the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, there is an engine for everyone. If you want something that offers excellent fuel economy while refusing to take a performance hit, then the 1.5L turbo engine offers 170 hp and still maintains 32 mpg highway. If you don’t want to make any compromises in power, then the 2.0L turbo engine won’t be beaten by any in its class and contains 252 hp while still maintaining 29 mpg highway. Finally, for those who are truly eco-friendly, there is a turbo-diesel engine that offers 39 mpg highway and still offers a fair 137 hp. Additionally, the standard transmission is a six-speed automatic, but the 2018 Equinox does offer a modernized nine-speed automatic transmission for the ideal performance condition.
Offering three turbo engines, the 2018 GMC Terrain competes toe to toe with the 2018 Equinox, to the point they could be performance twins. The standard options for the 2018 Terrain is a 1.5L engine with 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. If you want to upgrade, you can also get the larger 2.0L engine with 252 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Lastly, the 2018 Terrain also offers a turbo-diesel option which offers 137 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque. Just like the Equinox as well it starts with a six-speed transmission and an options upgrade to the nine-speed if you invest in the 2.0L engine. Also similar the Equinox, the Terrain offers a max towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

The exterior of a vehicle is what gives you that first look into what you can expect from that model.

The exterior of the 2018 GMC Terrain is bold but lacks the same sense of refinement of the 2018 Equinox.
