The Equinox nabbed a five-star honor from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) but missed out on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick accolades due to headlights that scored only Marginal in that agency's testing. Aside from a capacious center-console storage bin, the Equinox's cabin storage is merely average. Some rivals offer more space behind the rear seats, but we still managed to fit eight of our carry-on suitcases back there. The cabin features plenty of cupholders, but most interior luxuries are offered as standard or optional equipment on higher trim levels the base Equinox L is a price leader with very few features. Both front- and rear-seat passengers should find themselves comfortable in the spacious interior, with enough luxuries to keep them content on longer trips. Made from durable materials and nicely styled, the Equinox's cabin should draw broad appeal. Ironically, the Equinox's larger turbocharged 2.0-liter turbo recorded 30 mpg in our testing despite its 28 mpg rating. ![]() It delivered just 28 of its rated 30 mpg on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test route while the CR-V managed 32 mpg. In the real world, EPA estimates aren't always so easy to achieve, and our all-wheel-drive Equinox proved thirstier than expected. Honda's CR-V outpaces the Equinox in both acceleration and fuel efficiency. Chevy's 1.5-liter turbo isn't speedy, but it does offer attractive EPA fuel-economy ratings. In the race for the best fuel economy, smaller engines are all the rage.
