Two Different Goals for Performance

When it comes to performance, the Equinox and the RAV4 are after two different things. While the Equinox focuses on giving you a smooth drive with the option of available Switchable All-Wheel Drive, the RAV4 puts all its eggs into one basket, as it’s mostly focused on off-roading.

• The Chevrolet Equinox: If you’re looking for smooth performance on the road, then it’s hard to beat the 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that the Equinox offers. It’s as reliable as it is strong, and when you decide to pair it with the available Switchable All-Wheel Drive, you’ll have the traction you need to take on rough road conditions.
• The Toyota RAV4: The RAV4 heavily focuses on off-roading, so if that isn’t something that you plan on doing, you may want to look into other options. It’s great on the trails, but you’ll find that most of its features are solely geared toward this, like the available TRD-tuned Independent MacPherson Strut Front Suspension.

Comparing the Technology

If you want to see the technology that these models offer, and you’re near Blaine, Circle Pines, or Minneapolis, you can view the Equinox today at Friendly Chevrolet.

• The Chevrolet Equinox: The Equinox offers a standard 7-inch Diagonal Display Screen, which is where you’ll find all your favorite apps. With additional available features that range from Wi-Fi to Alexa-Built-in, you’re covered for your next long drive. With other features like available HD Surround Vision, you’ll be able to use your touchscreen to view your surroundings when you’re trying to back out of your spot.
• The Toyota RAV4: The RAV4 offers a few features for your cabin, like Remote Connect. In order to access this feature though, you’ll need to have the right subscription. The RAV4 does come with a comparable touchscreen though, and both models support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

A Safer Drive

Both of these models are incredibly safe, but the Equinox goes one step further with standard Chevy Safety Assist.

• The Chevrolet Equinox: Safety is the most important aspect of any SUV, as it’s hard to put a price on the security of your loved ones. Chevrolet goes the extra mile with the Equinox, as they make Chevy Safety Assist a standard feature. This gives you a suite of six different features, which are all designed to make your vehicle a safer place for you and your passengers.
• The Toyota RAV4: With the RAV4, you can rely on Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, but if you want to have features like the Blind Spot Monitor, you’ll need to opt for a higher trim. You’ll also find that the Equinox and the RAV4 offer incredibly similar available features. For example, the Equinox offers Automatic Parking Assist while the RAV4 offers Front and Rear Parking Assist.
