Engine Performance and Powertrain Options

Equinox

The 2022 Chevy Equinox is powered by a trusty turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine pushing out 170 horsepower. This makes 203 lb.-ft of torque, and it's available in front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive for added traction. The FWD model averages 26/31 miles per gallon city and highway while the AWD drops slightly to 25/30 mpg, respectively. All models are paired to a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts effortlessly and smoothly to maximize fuel efficiency. It’s easy to drive and smooth. The Equinox can also tow up to 3,500 lbs., making camping trips with trailers a breeze.

Tucson

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine making 187 horsepower paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is available in either front- or all-wheel drive as well. You also have the option of a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder in the hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. All-wheel drive is standard in the hybrid options. The Tucson can only tow up to 2,000 lbs., so if you plan on hauling trailers or doing any heavy lifting, the Equinox may be more reliable.

Interior Comfort and Space

Equinox

The Equinox continues the tradition of durable, stylized materials inside the cabin. The front and rear seats are spacious and comfy, even during long road trips. There are plenty of cupholders, luxuries, and features without sacrificing space. You can fit plenty of suitcases, camping equipment, groceries, or anything else you need with ease.

Tucson

The Tucson takes on a simplified approach to the interior and dashboard. There is a push-button shifter instead of a lever and a touch-sensitive control panel that works the entertainment and climate control. Some drivers find the unintuitive control scheme invasive while driving, as most drivers are used to years with physical knobs to control volume and air conditioning. Hyundai did, however, extend the interior space over previous year models to be more spacious for cargo and passengers.
