Size and Maneuverability

The 2025 Chevy Equinox is a compact SUV with exceptional maneuverability without sacrificing interior space. Its smaller footprint makes it ideal for navigating tight city streets and fitting into cramped parking spaces. The Honda Pilot, a midsize SUV, is bulkier and less agile in urban environments.

The Equinox’s lighter weight and well-tuned suspension result in nimble handling and a more engaging driving experience than the heavier Pilot.

Styling and Design

The 2025 Equinox boasts a modern, sleek design that turns heads on the road. Its bold grille, sculpted body lines, and attractive LED lighting give it a premium look that belies its affordable price point. Not to mention, the available Midnight Edition kicks things up a notch while featuring front and rear black bowtie emblems, 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, and a unique mold-in-color black grille and mesh.

While the Pilot has a competent design, it lacks the Equinox’s eye-catching appeal.
