The 2024 Chevy Equinox and the 2024 Nissan Rogue are well-matched in terms of interior and luggage space. Both compact SUVs offer nearly 100 cubic feet of passenger space and 30 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Buyers can also split-fold the rear seats in either SUV for more cargo-carrying capability. The 2024 Equinox even offers a collapsible cargo organizer and a retractable cargo shade. Buyers can also choose a vertically oriented cargo net to keep taller objects from sliding forward into the passenger area.
However, while both compact SUVs can transport up to five adults, the 2024 Equinox is more comfortable to travel in. It’s got plush seats that are leather-upholstered on higher trims. Then, it comes with active noise canceling on all trims. This system actively monitors road and engine noise and generates opposing frequencies to cancel them out. Hence, the 2024 Equinox offers an impressively hushed experience. You won’t find a similar system for the 2024 Rogue.
Both compact SUVs include conveniences such as illuminated vanity mirrors in the front sun visors, front and rear cup holders, and spacious glove boxes. Furthermore, the 2024 Rogue comes with a digital instrument cluster. However, you may find that you prefer the clear and easy-to-read analog gauges of the 2024 Equinox. And you’ll still get a color-screen multi-information display between the main dials.
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard for the 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Rogue. Both compact SUVs also offer Bluetooth® hands-free and audio streaming. Higher trims add features such as Wi-Fi hotspots and wireless phone chargers. Buyers can also get heated and ventilated front seats plus dual-zone climate control. The 2024 Rogue even offers tri-zone climate control.
The 2024 Equinox comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The engine produces 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. It is connected to a six-speed automatic gearbox and drives the front wheels. Buyers can pick all-wheel drive.
Meanwhile, the 2024 Rogue comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine from Nissan’s variable compression engine family. It drives the front wheels via a CVT gearbox. This powerplant makes 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is optional.
Despite the lower power output, the 2024 Equinox can nearly match the 2024 Rogue in the 0-60 benchmark, with an 8-second time. Furthermore, you’ll find its 4-cylinder engine to be more refined. You’ll also prefer its intuitive and seamless six-speed automatic transmission, which is preferable to the 2024 Rogue’s CVT gearbox. Finally, the 2024 Equinox can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Meanwhile, the 2024 Rogue tops out at 1,500 pounds.
The 2024 Equinox and the 2024 Rogue are very safe compact SUVs. They come with automatic emergency braking, a full suite of airbags, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning. Higher trims add adaptive cruise control, as well as blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Buyers can also choose a high-definition surround-view camera for the 2024 Equinox, as well as front plus rear parking sensors.
It’s a close match, but the 2024 Chevy Equinox wins our compact SUV match-up. It provides a nicer and more refined cabin environment and plenty of standard safety features. Then, it’s got a more driver-friendly powertrain and can tow more as well. That makes it a well-rounded compact SUV, and we’d love for you to check it out yourself.
