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.

RAV4

The 2026 RAV4 begins a new body generation, so SUVLook treats its published cargo fields as a fresh set instead of quietly extending 2024–2025 linear dimensions.

Equinox

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 Toyota

RAV4

Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 is standard on the all-new 2026 RAV4. Because 2026 is a new generation, SUVLook does not attach prior-generation IIHS crash ratings to this body while waiting for model-specific current-generation results.

  • Pre-Collision System
  • Lane Tracing Assist and lane-departure functions
  • Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Available 3D Panoramic View Monitor
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

  • A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard across the lineup.
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported.
  • The 2026 RAV4 introduces Toyota’s newer multimedia architecture and Arene software platform.
2026 Chevrolet

  • 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 Toyota

RAV4

  1. There is no conventional gas-only 2026 RAV4 in the U.S. lineup, so comparisons with older gas RAV4s need a powertrain reset as well as a body-generation reset.
  2. FWD hybrid models target the highest published fuel-economy figures, while selected AWD grades unlock the 3,500-lb tow rating.
  3. PHEV trims add much more system power and meaningful electric-only range, but also carry a substantial price step over the regular hybrid.
  4. The published 60.5-inch cargo width is a maximum cargo-area field; a rigid box still needs wheel-housing and hatch-opening checks.
Research caveat

Older 2024–2025 RAV4 cargo dimensions belong to the prior body generation. SUVLook does not automatically apply them to 2026.

Updated 2026-09-163 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.
