The 2019 Chevy Equinox vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe comparison sheds light on each vehicle’s versatility. These 5-passenger compact crossover SUVs are capable of meeting consumers’ needs, while offering numerous standard features and available options that may come as a surprise. Safety, convenience and style are at the core of each vehicle’s 2019 design.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is available in seven trim levels that can be configured 14 ways. The Santa Fe SE is the basic trim level and its exterior can be customized with a color palette ranging from Quartz White and Symphony Silver to Lava Orange and Rainforest. The SE trim comes equipped with an Inline 4-cylinder engine complemented by an 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC. SHIFTRONIC is Hyundai’s version of the manumatic transmission. Per its name, the manumatic transmission gives drivers the convenience of both an automatic and manual transmission, allowing an easy switch between the two. With a simple shift into a second gate on the gear-shift panel, drivers can take over shifting responsibilities which were previously controlled by the transmission’s computer technology. Consumers can select standard front-wheel drive (FWD) or opt to select all-wheel drive (AWD), all for the MSRP of $25,500.
The 2019 Chevy Equinox is available in eight trim levels, and with 3 different available engines it can be configured to create 15 different options. The Equinox L is the basic trim level and has available exterior paint colors like Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White, Pepperdust Metallic and Cajun Red Tintcoat. The L trim comes equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine complemented by a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The Equinox comes standard with FWD, but AWD is an available option, and with an MSRP $23,800 you’ll have a great vehicle in the most basic trim.
The Santa Fe vs. Equinox matchup is tight, but the Equinox has the competitive edge. Here’s a closer look at what these SUVs have to offer.
Safe Exit Assist works in conjunction with the Electronic Child Safety Lock. If an attempt is made to deactivate the Electronic Child Safety Lock to open a back door and a vehicle is approaching, the system will automatically override the deactivation to avoid an imminent collision. Once the approaching vehicle is no longer a threat, the driver regains control and can disengage the Electronic Child Safety Lock.
LATCH lower anchor and upper tether anchors give parents the ability to properly secure child restraint seats without using seat belts. The system involves two lower anchor bars positioned at the junction of the upper and lower cushions of the rear seat. The upper tether anchors could be positioned in a variety of places, per the vehicle’s design. The tether strap, located at the top of the child restraint seat, are attached to these upper anchors.
Front-seat pretensioners/load limiters primarily function during collisions. The front-seat pretensioners/load limiters are designed to regulate the amount of pressure exerted by seat belts to ensure proper restraint but limit the probability that the passengers will be injured by the force exerted to protect them.
Lane Keeping Assist monitors a vehicle’s position to ensure the vehicle remains within the parameters of the lane in which the vehicle is traveling. If the system detects that the vehicle moving beyond those lane parameters, the driver receives audible and visual alerts. If the system detects that the driver is not taking proper defensive actions to remain within the lane, the system will use corrective steering to reposition the vehicle within the lane.
Rear Seat Reminder is automatically activated when rear doors are opened or closed. The feature is designed to encourage drivers to check the backseat when they exit their vehicle. In some instances, Rear Seat Reminder will provide a five-chime audible alert along with a visual alert in the Driver Information Center.

StabiliTrak is an electronic stability control system with traction control. When driving in hazardous conditions, such as snow and rain, the system can detect wheel slippage and make necessary adjustments to brake pressure and engine power to help drivers maintain control while accelerating. StabiliTrak also provides assistance during emergency maneuvering by making brake and torque adjustments.
Tire Pressure Monitoring with Tire Fill Alert monitors tire pressure in all four tires and alerts the driver if tire pressure drops to a level that could adversely affect the driving experience. The system also monitors tire pressure when inflating to ensure the proper tire pressure, per the manufacturer’s standards, is reached.

Integrated Memory System for driver seat remembers the drivers’ preferred seating position, making adjustments when necessary to maintain that position.
Switchable AWD allows drivers to drive in FWD while monitoring the driving experience. If and when the system determines, per road or weather conditions, that AWD is the safer option, drivers receive a notification in the Driver Information System to switch to AWD.
Front Pedestrian Braking reminds drivers to brake if the system determines a collision with a pedestrian pr other object is imminent and the driver has yet to take evasive action to avoid the impending accident.
High-Definition Surround Vision provides drivers with a HD overview of their vehicle on the 8-inch available touchscreen. The view allows drivers to see the immediate area around their vehicle.
