2025 Chevrolet Equinox vs. 2025 Mazda CX-50

Compare the New Chevy Equinox Against the Mazda CX-50

Small SUVs are incredibly popular among Defiance, OH and Fort Wayne, IN drivers who require versatile, efficient, and safe everyday rides. For us here at our Hicksville, OH Chevy dealership, the choice is clear. The latest Chevy Equinox, also offered as a separate electric vehicle in a similar style, is clearly the top choice in the ultra-competitive small SUV class. But to give you an idea, here's how the new Chevy Equinox compares to the Mazda CX-50 in all sorts of crucial areas.

Safety and Convenience

For many drivers, the rearview camera with a fisheye lens is one of the most helpful safety and convenience features found with most cars. Both of these SUVs have a rearview camera, but only the Equinox offers an available washer, helping it stay clean. With the Mazda CX-50, you'll have to manually clean your rearview camera regularly as dirt and detritus builds up when you're driving around Defiance and Bryan, OH. Furthermore, the Equinox comes standard with rear cross traffic alert and braking systems, both of which are costly options with the Mazda SUV.

Fuel Economy

The CX-50 is all-wheel drive exclusive and thus isn't quite as efficient in city situations. If you're regularly driving through Fort Wayne rather than country roads around Hicksville, the Equinox is the better choice, especially if you stick with the front-wheel drive setup that's considerably more efficient than the Mazda on city streets.

Cabin Room

In terms of both passenger and cargo space, the Equinox provides more room than the Mazda CX-90. With 4 cubic feet more passenger volume and a max cargo space of 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down, compared to only 56.3 cubic feet in the Mazda, the new Chevy Equinox clearly provides extra space for your riders and all kinds of stuff you're bringing with you around Bryan and beyond.
