When you are in the market for a new vehicle, it can be difficult to sift through all of the information out there about different models. That is why doing comparisons can be so helpful, because it allows you to put two similar models side by side to determine which one has more of what you want and need. This comparison looks at the base models of the 2017 Toyota Highlander vs 2017 Chevrolet Equinox.
While the Equinox has slightly higher fuel economy numbers and a slightly lower price point, the Highlander offers more power, space and convenience features, making it the better option overall. The Highlander comes standard with features like a CD player, adaptive cruise control and knee protection airbags for the driver, none of which the Equinox offers on its base trim. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key differences between these two models.
