If you're shopping for a compact SUV, two General Motors models should be at the top of your list – the new Chevy Equinox and the new Cadillac XT4. While the XT4 is more luxurious, the Equinox is more affordable. Shaheen Chevrolet has numerous Equinox models at our dealership in Lansing, MI. We've created the following comparison of the Chevy Equinox and the Cadillac XT4 to help you decide which crossover to buy.
Fuel Economy
Lansing drivers who want to make fewer trips to the gas pump will prefer the new Chevy Equinox. It earns 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway in models with front-wheel drive. The new Cadillac XT4 comes close, returning 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.
Power and Capability
The new Chevy Equinox comes with a 175-horsepower four-cylinder engine that allows it to tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. People in Lansing who often pull trailers will want the new Cadillac XT4. It comes with a 235-horsepower four-cylinder engine that enables it to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Cargo Space
The new Chevy Equinox is a bit larger than the new Cadillac XT4, so it has more cargo space. Lansing drivers can fit all their luggage in the Equinox's 63.9 cubic-foot cargo hold. The XT4 has 48.9 cubic feet of cargo space when its back seats are folded down.
Technology
Both the new Chevy Equinox and the new Cadillac XT4 come standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Wi-Fi hot spot. However, the XT4 comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Equinox's standard infotainment setup uses a 7-inch screen.
Price
The new Chevy Equinox and the new Cadillac XT4 are both excellent small SUVs, but our Lansing customers will pay nearly $10,000 less for the entry-level Equinox trim than they will for the base XT4 model.
