How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2026 Suzuki e Vitara 49 kWh 2WD against the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS 1.5T. Both belong to the SUV class, so their dimensions, performance and utility figures address a broadly similar type of car. One uses a battery-electric powertrain and the other a petrol system, so range and consumption figures need to be read in that context.

2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS 1.5T has the higher listed output at 175 hp; 2026 Suzuki e Vitara 49 kWh 2WD is rated at 144 hp, a difference of 31 hp.

Range, battery, charging and efficiency

Range and energy-use figures are either not shared by both cars or not directly comparable across these powertrain types.

Dimensions, cargo space and towing

2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS 1.5T is 368 mm longer overall. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.

Price and overall assessment

2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS 1.5T leads in more of the shared headline fields, but that is not a universal verdict: a buyer should weight price, performance, range and utility rather than simply count category wins. The assessment is based on the specifications shown here; it is not presented as a two-car road test.
