Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Equinox offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Nissan Rogue. The Nissan Rogue will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Equinox.

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). Whether you pick the Chevrolet Equinox or the Nissan Rogue, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much wider than the Nissan Rogue, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Equinox takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan Rogue.

Performance
The Chevrolet Equinox has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Rogue.

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 Rogue.

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 Rogue. The Chevrolet Equinox has less cargo space than the Nissan Rogue, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
