Hyundai Tucson Vs. Chevy Equinox
A COMPARISON: CHEVY EQUINOX VS. HYUNDAI TUCSON
Overall, the new Chevrolet Equinox dominates the Hyundai Tucson on many levels. We're here to explain the how and the why behind the success of the Equinox. If you're interested in financing Chevrolet's newest Equinox design, buckle in––it's going to be a wild ride.
REASONS WHY THE EQUINOX IS BETTER THAN THE TUCSON
The Equinox offers significantly higher torque value than the Tucson, which means that it does a bang-up job of flowing horsepower to the wheels. The Chevrolet Equinox also has an aptitude for towing and hauling large items, such as trailers. The Tucson? Not so much.

INTERIOR
Interiors and cabin technology comparison are a different story. A vehicle can be completely inept in the power department and still make up for it with the latest tech. Is this the case with the Tucson or does the Equinox take the win in this category as well? Check out a comparison of cabins and available below:

As you can see, the Equinox features a better source of power than its Hyundai competitor. The new Chevy Equinox has three differing engine options, with up to 252 horsepower.
The agile, but less powerful Tucson offers only up to 181 horsepower. However, the real kicker in this comparison is the towing capabilities. We told you that the Equinox could out-do the Tucson in towing, but not by how much.
It turns out that the Equinox can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, which is close to that of a small pickup truck. The Tucson can only tow up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped—not our idea of a worthy competitor.

1Before you buy a vehicle or use it for trailering, carefully review the Trailering section of the Owner's Manual. The weight of passengers, cargo and options or accessories may reduce the amount you can tow.
