The Toyota RAV4 also offers wireless smartphone compatibility, but drivers will find the standard 10.5-inch touchscreen more restrictive.

While both compact SUVs deliver efficient performance, the Equinox edges out the RAV4 in fuel tank size. Depending on the drivetrain, the 2026 Equinox holds either 14.8 or 15.6 gallons of fuel, extending the time Havana drivers have between fillups.
