Are you looking for an SUV with a do-it-all attitude? Perhaps you’re looking for a model that can be used as a work commuter during the week and as a camping caravan on the weekend? The 2024 Honda HR-V and the 2024 Chevy Equinox offer the versatility you crave, but which one will make the better companion for you?
Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Manhattan drivers can continue reading Bay Ridge Auto Group's HR-V vs. Equinox comparison below to unveil their next SUV. Let’s begin!

Whether you’re packing for a week-long camping trip, getting ready for work, or spending the weekend with a friend, bringing along the essentials is critical. Your necessities will change depending on your whereabouts; however, one constant remains: driver assistance. Both SUVs have it in spades. After all, safety comes first.
Honda Sensing® and Chevy Safety Assist are the respective standard safety suites on the HR-V and the Equinox. They share a few driver-assistance features in common, including:
Both SUVs also have a rearview camera to make backing up a breeze. However, the HR-V’s Multi-Angle Rearview Camera comes with Dynamic Guidelines and three modes: Normal, Top-Down, and Wide. These camera modes make it easier to launch your rowboat into the water, hitch up your 4-wheeler, or parallel park like a pro.
Your protection is a top priority, which is why you pack certain items for your trips, like bug spray for camping or 10 pairs of socks for a 3-day getaway, just because who knows what will happen. Speaking of packing, the Honda Sensing® suite is packing some serious heat. In fact, it offers even more standard features, including:
Unfortunately, the Chevy’s safety suite is a bit more limited and goes without similar features.
With all the places you plan to go in your new SUV, you must choose an option that keeps you entertained and connected to friends and family. Both the HR-V and the Equinox have impressive infotainment setups. Which one will you prefer?
A week’s worth of clothes? Check. Your new flamingo floatie? Check. Tons of sunscreen? Check. You’re all packed and ready for a week at the lake. Now, how will you entertain yourself on the drive? The HR-V and the Equinox offer the following smartphone integrations to help you enjoy every mile:
Pairing your phone allows you to rock out to music, tune into podcasts, chip away at an audiobook, or phone a friend.
When you’re sitting behind the wheel of either SUV, a 7-inch touchscreen will be your right-hand man. This screen will serve as your central hub for infotainment and navigation!
To make sure you don’t miss a crucial turn in your journey, you may want to choose the Honda. This model is available with a 9-inch display. On the other hand, the Chevy offers an 8-inch screen, which may not provide the same ease of use.
A lot of the HR-V’s and the Equinox’s versatility comes from their performance. These SUVs offer a responsive drive that excites the senses and is fuel-efficient! Which model will you choose with the best of both worlds at your fingertips?
Performance-wise, the Honda and the Chevy operate similarly. However, their flexibility is a bit different. This stems from the difference in their size.

Chevy Equinox
|
|---|---|---|
| Length | 179.8 inches | 183.1 inches |
| Wheelbase | 104.5 inches | 107.3 inches |
As you’ll notice, the HR-V offers a shorter wheelbase and length than the Equinox. You may think the bigger car is better; however, drivers looking for a zippy and agile model will prefer the more compact Honda. Its shorter wheelbase enhances its nimbleness and makes taking tight turns a breeze. Plus, its compact size makes it better for city traveling!
The Chevy will deliver a smooth ride; however, it may not suit your active lifestyle as well as the Honda.
Road trips are a great way to explore our country and make new core memories. You’ll need an SUV that gives you more time on the road and less time at the gas pump to see everything you can. Both models are relatively efficient; however, the Honda takes the cake.
All 2WD Honda HR-V trims achieve an EPA-estimated 26 city/32 highway MPG rating.* On the other hand, the Chevy Equinox achieves an EPA-estimated 24 city/30 highway MPG rating. We’ll let the numbers do the talking here.
Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Manhattan drivers with an active lifestyle and lust for life will love what the HR-V and the Equinox offer. However, thanks to its advanced safety, larger display, and enhanced efficiency, we believe the Honda is right for you.
