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.

2026 · Honda

CR-V

The 2026 CR-V remains easy to research because Honda publishes trim-specific cargo volume, while useful linear cargo references come from clearly labeled third-party and owner measurements.

The 2026 Equinox publishes useful cargo-volume figures, but the factory material checked for SUVLook does not provide the complete floor and hatch measurements a rigid-box fit requires.

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 Honda

CR-V

Honda Sensing is standard across the 2026 CR-V lineup. IIHS current-generation results remain useful where IIHS explicitly carries the same test rating across model years; SUVLook does not transfer a rating where applicability is unclear.

Collision Mitigation Braking System
Road Departure Mitigation
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
Lane Keeping Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition

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.

Buying context

What to check before choosing a trim

2026 Honda

CR-V

Gas models preserve more published cargo volume than the hybrids, so the more efficient powertrain comes with a packaging trade-off.
The LX has substantially more published front headroom than moonroof-equipped trims.
TrailSport Hybrid is the configuration to inspect when all-terrain tires and standard AWD matter more than the highest fuel-economy figure.
The current generation has generous published rear legroom, but seat comfort and driving position still need an in-person fit check.

Research caveat

The approximately 41-inch wheel-housing width and 32-inch hatch-opening height are not presented as Honda factory dimensions. They are supporting physical references from the cargo guide.

2026 Chevrolet

Equinox

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.
AWD materially changes both transmission hardware and the published maximum tow rating.
A sunroof reduces published headroom, which matters for tall-driver fit.
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.
