If you’ve been looking for a high-quality, reliable SUV in or around Brockton, MA, there’s no shortage of options. But not all vehicles are created equal, and it just so happens that you can find two of the very best models right here at Copeland Chevrolet. The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse and 2021 Chevrolet Equinox both excel in terms of safety, technology, and family-friendly versatility, so which one is right for you? Here are a few key differences to help you make an informed decision.
Family First
If the mark of a good SUV is the ability to help you tackle the demands of family life, then the Traverse and Equinox are both great ones by just about any measure. The Equinox is slightly smaller, with a maximum seating capacity of five compared to the Traverse’s eight. As such, the Traverse also offers more maximum cargo space, which clocks in at 98.2 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded down. That’s not to say the Equinox is a slouch, though. It boasts an impressive max cargo volume of 63.9 cubic feet, and both models offer convenient additions like a hands-free power liftgate.
Superior Safety
Size is nice, but Chevrolet understands that safety is essential. That’s why both the 2021 Traverse and Equinox offer a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies designed to make the road a better place for everyone. The Equinox comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes a set of confidence-inspiring systems like Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and more. The Traverse offers similar features, but only comes standard with a Rear Vision Camera and the brilliant Teen Driver Technology.
Top-Notch Tech
In terms of fun, both the 2021 Traverse and Equinox deliver in spades. Each model offers advanced technology like an 8-inch infotainment screen equipped with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming, and an activatable 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot. If you want to turn your SUV into a concert hall on wheels, opt for the Traverse, which features an available 10-speaker Bose® premium audio system. The Equinox offers a similarly impressive 7-speaker Bose® setup.
At the end of the day, whether you end up choosing the voluminous Traverse or the slightly less sizable Equinox, you and your family are in for a treat. To see which one is your perfect fit, stop by Copeland Chevrolet to browse our extensive selection of SUVs.
