The New Toyota RAV Outperforms the New Chevy Equinox in Lake Charles, LA

If you’re looking for a new crossover vehicle in 2022 and are torn between the Toyota RAV4 and the Chevy Equinox, you may be wondering which one is better suited to your lifestyle. While both offer impressive cargo space and easy-to-navigate technology, all of us here at Lake Charles Toyota think the Toyota RAV4 reigns supreme in 2022. Here’s why: 


Toyota RAV4 and Chevy Equinox: Features That Break the Mold (But Which One’s Better?)

  • The 2022 Toyota RAV4 has better safety features: While both vehicles offer excellent safety features, the Toyota RAV4 takes safety a step further by offering a no-cost maintenance and road safety plan through ToyotaCare. This feature comes standard inside every new Toyota vehicle and offers 24-hour roadside assistance for the first two years of ownership, while the Chevy Equinox comes with OnStar safety and security, which requires both cell service and a GPS signal. Furthermore, the Toyota RAV4 comes with eight airbags throughout the cabin, Smart Stop Technology, an anti-lock braking system, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, front/rear park assist with automatic braking, and more. 
  • The 2022 Toyota RAV4 gives drivers more technological options: While the Chevy Equinox has wireless capability and an available WiFi hotspot, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 comes with a host of technological features that drivers in Lake Charles will love. This includes a wireless charging pad, five USB ports, Remote Connect, and a digital rearview mirror display that lets you see more of what’s behind you while on the road. 
  • The 2022 Toyota RAV4 has a stellar audio system: Compared to the Chevy Equinox, the Toyota RAV4 has awesome music-playing capabilities thanks to the available JBL audio system. The JBL audio system has speakers in nine different locations throughout the cabin, a subwoofer, and front horn tweeters, which allows music to be heard more clearly from the back of the vehicle than standard speakers. 
  • The 2022 Toyota RAV4 offers different drive modes: One of the biggest features that sets the 2022 Toyota RAV4 apart from the Chevy Equinox is the fact that it offers a feature called Multi-Terrain Select. With this unique feature, drivers can choose between four available drive modes, including sand, mud, dirt, and rock. While the Chevy Equinox offers an available and switchable all-wheel drive that allows drivers to tackle different types of terrain, this is one area where we think the 2022 Toyota RAV4 comes out on top. 
  • The 2022 Toyota RAV4 has more color options: While the Chevy Equinox has eight available color options, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 has 16. This gives drivers more options to customize their vehicles to suit their unique personalities and style. Some of the available colors include Cavalry Blue, Ruby Flare Pearl, Lunar Rock, Blizzard Pearl, and Midnight Black Metallic. Better yet, drivers can opt for dual-color patterns for an extra bit of style.
