Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Nissan Murano. The Nissan Murano will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Equinox.

Convenience
The Nissan Murano requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Equinox, making it more convenient to drive.

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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Equinox is a better financial choice over the Nissan Murano, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Equinox, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Murano.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Equinox has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan Murano.

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 Murano.

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 Murano. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Chevrolet Equinox as you will in the Nissan Murano.
