Compare the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox vs. 2025 Honda CR-V

Cross-shopping compact SUVs can feel overwhelming. If you are looking for a Chevy Equinox for sale near me, you are likely also considering the 2025 Honda CR-V. Both are highly capable family vehicles, but they take very different approaches to daily driving around the greater Milwaukee area.

Low-End Torque for Glendale Commutes

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox utilizes a 1.5L Turbo engine that prioritizes low-end pulling power. This means the Equinox delivers up to 203 lb.-ft. of torque on all-wheel-drive models at lower RPMs. In the real world, this gives you a much snappier response when accelerating from a stoplight on Silver Spring Drive or merging onto I-43. The CR-V offers a standard 1.5L engine with 179 lb.-ft. of torque, which requires the engine to work a bit harder to feel that same acceleration.

Towing Capacity and Transmission Response

 

While both vehicles offer up to 1,500 lbs of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped, the Equinox pairs its all-wheel-drive system with a traditional 8-speed automatic transmission. This provides physical gear shifts that feel solid and predictable when hauling a small utility trailer. The CR-V utilizes a Continuously Variable Transmission across its standard gas lineup, which prioritizes steady cruising over dynamic shifting. To see how these transmissions rank nationally, you can check recent Kelley Blue Book reliability ratings.
