SUVLook comparison lab

Compare SUVs beyond the dimensions.

Put two model-year profiles side by side across price, trims, powertrain, efficiency, exterior size, cabin space, cargo, capability, safety, technology and ownership research. Equivalent fields are aligned across brands, while unverified gaps stay clearly labeled.

How to read this comparison

Values come from each SUVLook model-year research profile. Like-for-like fields stay aligned, one-sided facts remain visible instead of disappearing, and the decision cards only declare a criterion lead when both values can be normalized safely.

Decision snapshot

Six buyer questions, without an overall winner.

Each card compares one documented criterion. A lead is shown only when both source-backed values use a compatible measurement; otherwise the raw facts remain visible and the criterion stays unresolved.

Safety systems

Driver-assistance equipment and context

2026 Ford

Expedition

Driver-assistance equipment is kept separate from crash ratings. Check the exact 2026 model on IIHS and NHTSA before relying on a rating or award.

  • Automatic emergency braking / forward-collision features
  • Lane-support features
  • Blind-spot systems where equipped
  • Check trim for available advanced driver assistance
2026 Chevrolet

Equinox

The current-generation Equinox includes a broad standard driver-assistance package. IIHS applies several crashworthiness ratings across the 2025–2027 body, so those applicable-generation results are more useful than ratings from the prior Equinox.

  • Automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert
  • Lane keeping and lane-departure assistance
  • Adaptive cruise control availability
  • Blind-zone and rear cross-traffic assistance

Cabin technology

Infotainment, connectivity and convenience

  • Camera, parking and premium-audio features vary by equipment.
  • Connected-services availability and trial periods can change.

  • 11.3-inch center infotainment touchscreen with an 11-inch driver information display.
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
  • Google built-in services and wireless phone charging are available depending on equipment.
  • Multiple camera and parking-assistance features are available by trim and package.

Buying context

What to check before choosing a trim

2026 Ford

Expedition

  1. Keep standard-wheelbase and MAX cargo figures separate.
  2. Use 2026 subpages/technical documents and VIN paperwork for remaining inventory.
  3. Maximum tow rating requires the specified drivetrain/package and payload accounting.
Research caveat

Use the exact trim, drivetrain, roof equipment and powertrain when a number is configuration-sensitive. Cargo volume does not prove that a rigid item fits through the hatch; measure the exact vehicle for close-fit use cases.

Updated 2026-09-233 research sources
2026 Chevrolet

Equinox

  1. The same 175-hp engine is used across the main trim range, so trim choice is primarily about drivetrain, equipment and styling rather than a higher-output engine.
  2. AWD materially changes both transmission hardware and the published maximum tow rating.
  3. A sunroof reduces published headroom, which matters for tall-driver fit.
  4. Rigid cargo still needs an exact hatch-opening and floor-length check because Chevrolet does not publish every useful linear cargo measurement.
Research caveat

The older 2018–2024 Equinox has a third-party 39.3-inch seats-up floor-depth measurement. SUVLook does not apply that dimension to the redesigned 2025–2026 Equinox.
