Vehicle Dimensions

You need your vehicle to be large enough to fit your passengers comfortably while still making it easy to navigate the city streets. Thankfully, when it comes to size, the Tucson and Equinox are both just-right SUV examples:

Hyundai Tucson vs Chevy Equinox Dimensions
	Tucson	Equinox
Length/Width/Height	176.4/72.8/64.8 inches	183.1/72.6/65.4 inches
Headroom (front/rear)	39.6/39.2 inches	40/38.5 inches
Legroom (front/rear)	41.5/38.2 inches	40.9/39.9 inches

While the Tucson sits smaller than the Equinox, there’s an equal battle among passenger space within both SUVs. They each shine in their own way: The Equinox offers more front headroom, and the Tucson offers more from front legroom.

Where the Tucson really shines is in its cargo capacity. When you have the rear seats folded upright, you’ll have access to 31 cubic feet of cargo volume, which is plenty of room for transporting sports equipment, groceries, and even weekend bags.

The Equinox offers plenty of cargo space but falls short with only 29.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats upright.

Hyundai Tucson vs Chevy Equinox Safety Features

To ensure the safety of you and your passengers, both the 2021 Tucson and Equinox come equipped with advanced safety features. With the Tucson, you’ll get Hyundai SmartSense. With the Equinox, you’ll get Chevy Safety Assist.

Both suites of safety systems utilize cameras and sensors to constantly monitor a range around your SUV, providing you with alerts when a hazard is detected, and—under some circumstances—providing automatic assistance in an attempt to prevent a collision. Similar features are found on both SUVs, such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Keeping Assist.

Even though both SUVs offer similar systems, the Tucson offers more standard features, such as Driver Attention Warning. This system monitors your driving behavior and alerts you with a coffee cup icon if it believes you’re driving distracted or fatigued. When this alert activates, you can take a break from driving, regroup, and resume your travels when you’re more alert.

This feature isn’t offered with the Chevy Equinox.
