2022 Subaru Outback vs. 2022 Chevrolet Equinox
The 2022 Subaru Outback is a wagon with plenty of passenger space, and an abundant cargo area. There is plenty of high-class materials making up its cabin. For the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, there are no major changes to enjoy.
Design & Style
The 2022 Subaru Outback has an impressive amount of cargo space indeed. Starting at 32.5 cubic feet when seats are in use, and expanding to almost 76 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded, there is indeed an abundance of room for suitcases. Taller passengers will find plenty of legroom and headroom inside as well, thus making it easier to move about whenever they want to. The cabin is made with upscale materials, an evidence of its elegant and solid construction.
With a total of 30 cubic feet of trunk capacity when rear seats are upright, and 64 cubic feet when they are folded, the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is not as spacious as that of the Outback. Seating five people, the configuration is more spacious in front than in the back. Taller passengers may hesitate using the back seat for longer rides. There are a lot of hard plastic surfaces in the cabin, thus making it look less classy when compared to the Legacy.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Outback is equipped with the ever reliable Starlink infotainment system that is regarded as one of the best in its class. This one is fitted with two seven-inch touch screens, and features physical knobs that can be used for audio and climate functions. It integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and also has two USB ports, four speakers, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. For advanced safety features, standard inclusions are lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rearview camera, rear-seat reminder, adaptive cruise control, and forward automatic emergency breaking, among others.
The Equinox, on the other hand, has a seven-inch touch screen that can be used for smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and voice recognition. Temperature, audio, and volume adjustments can be made using the physical buttons and knobs at the center stack. Safety features include pedestrian detection, automatic high-beam headlights, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning, among others.
Performance
The 2022 Outback offers two engine options, starting from a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine that can boost power for 182 horses. The other engine is a turbo-four, 2.4-liter version that can put off 260 horsepower. The Chevrolet Equinox registers 170 horsepower for its base engine. Its turbo-four can only rate up to 252 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
There are a lot of things to appreciate in the 2022 Subaru Outback. This one has a better interior, exterior, technologies, and more engine power than that of the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox.
