Honda CR-V vs. Chevrolet Equinox
October 05 2026 - Ottawa Honda

From quick trips around town to long-distance adventures, the 2027 Honda CR-V is perfect for contemporary driving. Compared to other models like the 2027 Chevy Equinox, this SUV has more space, more power, and more stability when an Illinois winter hits. Explore these features at Ottawa Honda, and you’ll see which model pulls ahead.

Power and Acceleration

The 2027 Honda CR-V offers a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, giving it 190 horsepower and steady, satisfying acceleration. That’s a full 15 horsepower more than the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox, which only manages 175 horsepower. Combined with a more rugged suspension, the Honda SUV is just more fun to drive on the highway.

All-Wheel Drive

While both models offer all-wheel drive, the 2027 Honda CR-V is much more prepared for icy Illinois weather. Its available Real-Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™ predicts turns, curves, and other changes that lead to loss of traction before your wheels start slipping, proactively sending power to the rear wheels to keep you in control. The available all-wheel drive in the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox doesn’t have the same smart capability.

Cargo Space

If you need space for everything from grocery trips to a cross-country move, the 2027 Honda CR-V is ready for you. With all seats in place, there’s 39.3 cubic feet of storage in the back, significantly more than the 29.8 cubic feet in the 2027 Chevy Equinox. Fold the rear row flat and the comparison is even more stark: the Honda SUV has 76.5 cubic feet of space while the Chevy model only offers 64 cubic feet.
