Finding the right crossover SUV means you have to go through the available options. At Schumacher Chevrolet of Livingston, we have a few options for you-and today, we're highlighting the new Chevy Equinox. When compared to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, we'll show you why it's a popular option for busy professionals, parents, and go-getters alike.
Exterior Design
Chevy Equinox
They'll see you coming and going with the dazzling display of front and rear LED lights. The standard 17-inch all-season Blackwall tires provide traction on slippery roads in Newark, but that's just the beginning of the excitement for the new Equinox.
Available Upgrades
- 20-Inch Machined Face Aluminum Wheels
- Dual-Tone Color Combination
- Dual Pane Power Sunroof
- Fog Lamps
- Midnight Edition (Blacked Out Appearance)
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V knows it's up against a stylish, modern Chevy Equinox. With that in mind, you'll have standard 17-inch wheels with full LED headlights. A generous palette of paint options helps the CR-V stand out, but it still lacks the pizzazz that comes with the new Equinox near Hanover, NJ.
Available Upgrades
- 18-inch Alloy Wheels
- Power Tailgate
Toyota RAV4
To keep pace with the Chevy Equinox, the Toyota RAV4 receives a complete makeover for the new model year. You'll find LED lighting on the front end with a revised grille design. Aggressive character lines, a variety of wheel sizes and styles, and multiple paint options reinvent the RAV4.
Available Upgrades
- 20-inch Alloy Wheels
- Two-Tone Color Options
- All-Terrain Tires
- Piano Black Accents
- Paint Matching Grill

Chevy Equinox

Honda CR-V
