A compact SUV such as the 2024 Chevy Equinox or the 2024 Eclipse Cross is a good upgrade from a subcompact crossover. You’ll get more interior and cargo capacity, plus better tech and safety features. The new Equinox and Cross also deliver more power and better road performance, making them suitable for both city driving and long journeys.
Below, we'll do an Equinox vs. Eclipse Cross comparison to help you pick the right one for your needs and driving style. By checking out each model's interior features, safety appointments, and performance capabilities, we can discover which is better. Then, you can make a final decision.
But if you want to test drive a 2024 Chevy Equinox, visit Carter Chevrolet in Okarche, OK. We’ll put you in the driver’s seat so you’ll know what the Equinox can deliver. Our team will also answer any questions you have about Chevy’s compact crossover.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox is more spacious than the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, with 103 cubic feet of passenger volume versus 97 cubic feet. Since interior space is a critical metric for a compact SUV, you’ll definitely prefer the Chevy, particularly if you travel with more than two people.
The 2024 Equinox cabin feels more premium and well-built, and it can be chosen with leather-appointed seats in higher trims. Active noise canceling is also standard across the range. This results in a quieter cabin by monitoring and canceling out engine and road noise.
All trims come with keyless unlocking, as well as keyless engine start. Higher trims also offer heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver seat, and dual-zone climate control. Some, but not all of these, are available for the 2024 Eclipse Cross.
The 2024 Equinox also offers more in-cabin storage space. The center console box and glovebox are more spacious, and there are ample cup holders. Higher trims add features such as an overhead sunglasses storage compartment.
The 2024 Equinox can hold 30 cubic feet of luggage, while the 2024 Eclipse Cross tops out at 23 cubic feet. Buyers of either compact SUV can fold the rear seatbacks to gain more cargo capacity. Plus, the 2024 Equinox has additional hidden storage space beneath the floor of the trunk. Buyers can also specify a hands-free power-operated rear liftgate for convenience when loading.
Standard tech features for both compact SUVs include Bluetooth® hands-free and wireless audio connectivity. While all trims of the 2024 Equinox are Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™-compatible, this isn’t the case with the 2024 Eclipse Cross. Additionally, Equinox buyers can opt for a panoramic sunroof, built-in Amazon Alexa functionality, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 7-speaker Bose premium sound system.
The 2024 Equinox comes equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. This powerful and efficient unit makes 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and drives all four wheels via a switchable all-wheel drive system. The 0-60 time has been tested at 8 seconds.
Meanwhile, the 2024 Eclipse Cross runs on a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. However, it is less powerful, with just 152 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a CVT gearbox. Independent testing has shown a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds. The 2024 Eclipse Cross offers a comfortable ride, but it isn’t pleasant to drive quickly. Its CVT gearbox produces significant engine droning when trying to accelerate quickly.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox comes with automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and front pedestrian braking as standard. It also features lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and a following distance indicator. Higher trims add adaptive cruise control, lane change alert, side blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert. Buyers can also specify a HD surround vision camera. The 2024 Eclipse Cross offers only some of these features.
Chevy wins this Equinox vs. Eclipse Cross matchup. The 2024 Equinox’s passenger cabin is noticeably roomier and better equipped than the 2024 Eclipse Cross. The Chevy also wins in terms of engine performance with a punchier powertrain and more pleasant drive. Plus, it offers more standard safety features.
