How are the Equinox and Kodiaq evaluated?

[JohnLynn]

1. Body Dimensions: Both are positioned as mid-size SUVs, so there is relatively little difference in body dimensions, being at the same level overall. Specifically, the Kodiaq leads in length, width, and wheelbase, while the Equinox slightly leads in height. However, both are generally at the upper-middle level in their class. 2. Interior: The Equinox undoubtedly offers a more outstanding first impression. However, upon closer inspection, the Equinox uses a lot of hard plastics in its interior, resulting in a poorer tactile feel. Although the Kodiaq's interior may look somewhat dull, the design of its interior panels is quite stylish. 3. Powertrain: Unlike the Kodiaq, which only offers a 2.0-liter engine, the Equinox provides both 1.5 and 2.0-liter engines, both turbocharged. More impressively, the Equinox's 1.5T engine delivers 180 horsepower, only 6 horsepower less than the Kodiaq's lower-powered 2.0-liter engine. The Equinox's 2.0T engine even leads the Kodiaq by a full 40 horsepower.
