When it comes to getting everyone where they need to go when they need to get there, you’re going to need a vehicle that has room for everyone.

2021 Chevy Equinox vs Kia Sorento: Which Fits Your Life Best

A big factor in your decision is going to be how well your SUV fits in your life—and not just in a metaphorical sense. The Kia Sorento is up to 189.5 inches long depending on trim level, and 74.8 inches wide. On the other hand, the 2021 Equinox is shorter and slimmer at 183.1 inches long, and 72.6 inches wide.

While you may have heard the phrase “bigger is better,” imagine trying to maneuver a 3-row SUV into your crowded garage—especially with all the kids’ sports gear stacked in there. While a few inches may not seem like a lot, it can be the difference between fitting into those cozy grocery store spots and having to drive around the block.

    2021 Chevy Equinox vs Kia Sorento: Always Watching Over You

    You’re not buying an SUV just for yourself. You’re buying an SUV for all the people in the backseat—whether they’re work colleagues, your kids, or your big Bernese Mountain dog, Bougie—so you want to drive confidently, knowing all of you will be safe.

    Then you will be happy to read that both the Chevy Equinox and the Kia Sorento have standard safety features such as:

    • Forward Collision Alert
    • Automatic High Beams
    • Lane Keep Assist
    • Lane Departure Warning

    However, Chevy knows you’re interested in an SUV for a growing family, and has added something extra to the Equinox: Teen Driver Technology. This is a special mode that allows you to set up specific parameters for when your teenager starts getting behind the wheel—things like keeping the motor off until all passengers have fastened their seatbelts.
