Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Equinox, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Equinox will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much wider than the Nissan Kicks, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Equinox, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

Performance
The Chevrolet Equinox has a little more horsepower than the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Equinox does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Kicks.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Equinox and the Nissan Kicks. The Chevrolet Equinox has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Nissan Kicks.
