2019 Chevrolet Outback vs 2019 Chevy Equinox
Proudly Serving Harrisonburg, VA
The Subaru Outback is an SUV suitable for some off-road activities; the Chevy Equinox is a mid-sized SUV. Both vehicles are capable of driving on rough terrain; however, which one is truly the superior car?
Power
The Subaru Outback has the advantage when it comes to pure power. The 1.5l engine in the Equinox can push out 170 horsepower, and the Outback is able to push out 175 horsepower. The Outback is AWD, making use of all four wheels, and the Equinox is front wheel drive. However, an AWD version of the Equinox is available. Due to the AWD being standard in the Subaru and the extra horsepower, the Subaru Outback narrowly surpasses the Equinox when it comes to pure power.
Off-roading
A lot of people purchase a Subaru for their reliability off-road. The 2019 Outback is no different. Thanks to the Subaru's AWD feature, you will never get stuck in grass or mud. The Subaru is also lower to the ground than the Equinox, meaning it will be much more difficult to tip over. If you are looking for a vehicle to take off road, you should go with the Subaru Outback. Don't settle for less. You don't want to be stranded because you don't have a vehicle capable of getting around on all terrains.
Extra features
Both cars come in a variety of colors. The Subaru is primarily designed with darker tones in mind. Crimson Red Pearl and Crystal Black Silica are just two of the dark colors that the Subaru Outback comes in. The Equinox comes in some brighter colors like Ivy Metallic Green and Kinetic Blue Metallic. If you are looking for a dark, sleek vehicle, you may want to look into the colors available for the Subaru. You'll be using the vehicle off-road anyway, so why would you want a bright blue car?
You won't know for sure which vehicle you prefer until you drive both of them, so come into the dealership to see exactly why the Subaru Outback out performs the Chevy Equinox in nearly every way.
