| 201 | Horsepower (hp) | 175 |
| 74.1 | Max Cargo (cu.ft.) | 63.9 |
| 30/37 | Fuel Economy (city/hwy MPG) | 26/31 |
Both of these models have a single engine available, making it quite simple to compare them and see what each offers. The 2023 Nissan Rogue features a 1.5L Turbo I-3 that delivers 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, while the Chevy Equinox has a similar 1.5L Turbo that only puts out 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. Even more remarkable, however, is that the Rogue gets an estimated 30 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway with its engine, while the Equinox only gets an estimated 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. So not only do you get a more exhilarating driving experience with the Rogue, but you can also go further between stops for gas.
Looking inside these two crossover models, both are two-row vehicles with seating for up to five passengers, and you can find all of the latest amenities you would expect from a modern vehicle. The Nissan Rogue comes out on top with a number of superior options, such as a standard eight-inch infotainment display compared to the standard seven-inch screen in the Equinox.
You also get quite a lot more cargo space in the Nissan Rogue; just looking at rear cargo space, the Rogue gives you more than 36 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the backseats while the Equinox offers less than 30 cu.ft. of rear cargo volume. While the Equinox has some good safety features thanks to Chevy Safety Assist being standard, it falls short of what the Rogue includes in every model—such as a Blind Spot Warning, which is only standard on the highest Equinox trim.

It is tempting to not worry too much about engines and performance when looking at a small or compact crossover model due to its size, but that is a mistake. You deserve to have a fantastic driving experience in any vehicle you consider, which comes down to choosing a model with a powerful engine. While an intense V8 that you would find in a full-size truck is not necessary, you still want something with enough power to deliver a great experience. You also want something efficient that will keep you on the road longer.
In this regard, the 2023 Nissan Rogue comes through in both respects and proves itself the superior option for any driver. The Rogue comes with a 1.5L Turbo I-3 engine that delivers an impressive 201 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a continuously variable transmission to ensure a smooth ride. By comparison, the Chevy Equinox has a 1.5L Turbo I-4 engine that offers just 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. That means the Rogue delivers almost 15% more horsepower than the Equinox, providing you with a sporty ride that feels good on the road.
What we find particularly impressive is that the Rogue delivers this power and performance without sacrificing incredible efficiency. With the 2023 Nissan Rogue, you can get an estimated 30 MPG in the city, 37 MPG on the highway, and 33 MPG of combined fuel economy. By comparison, the Equinox gets an estimated 26 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the highway, and just 28 MPG of combined fuel efficiency. It is easy to see that the Rogue comes out on top by quite a substantial amount in all three categories, which can save you money over time and lets you drive further between stops for gas.
Since most of your time with your vehicle is spent with you inside it while driving, you always want to carefully consider the interior features of any vehicle you are interested in. Both models are compact crossovers with two rows of seating for up to five passengers, yet they have some significant differences. Looking at the space offered within them, for example, the Nissan Rogue has 36.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume available in the back, with 74.1 cu.ft. of total cargo space behind the front row. By comparison, the Chevy Equinox has just 29.9 cu.ft. of rear cargo volume and 63.9 cu.ft. of total cargo space available. You can get more than 10 cu.ft. of total cargo space in the Rogue than in the Equinox—a substantial amount of extra room to enjoy.
Beyond this difference in space, the 2023 Nissan Rogue also comes with a number of standard and available features inside that are superior to the Equinox. For example, an 8-inch infotainment display is standard in the Rogue, while a 9-inch screen is available along with a 12.3-inch Digital Dashboard with fully digital gauges. Although a 4-speaker sound system is standard, the Rogue has a Bose Premium audio system on higher trims with a dual-driver woofer for incredibly rich sound quality. Other available features include tri-zone automatic temperature control, quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
By comparison, the 2023 Chevy Equinox comes with a 7-inch infotainment display standard and has an 8-inch screen available—you cannot get a larger nine-inch display. The Equinox comes with a 3.5-inch monochromatic Driver Information Center that is quite underwhelming, with the highest Premier trim offering a better 4.2-inch color screen but still a far cry from the Rogue's available 12.3-inch Digital Dashboard. Similarly, even the Equinox Premier only has a 6-speaker sound system and a "wrapped steering wheel," not leather. The Equinox has some decent features, but too many are available options, and even then it is lacking.
When deciding on your next vehicle, nothing is more important than how well it can help protect you and your loved ones when you are on the road. Safety features have evolved over the last decade beyond simple things like seat belts and airbags with advanced technology designed to help your vehicle keep you safe. While many of these impressive tech features have been options that cost more money, in recent years, they have become much more commonplace, something we can see with both models.
For example, the 2023 Rogue comes with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 package of safety technology standard on all models. This includes an Intelligent Forward Collision Warning to alert you to a potential crash and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection to help you avoid it. You get a Lane Departure Warning, a RearView Monitor, Rear Automatic Braking standard, and Intelligent Driver Alertness that can warn you if you seem fatigued on the road. Even advanced features like a Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are standard on all Rogue models, with extra options including an available Intelligent Lane Intervention system and an Intelligent Around View Monitor.
The 2023 Chevy Equinox comes with the Chevy Safety Assist package standard on all models, which is good but falls short of what Nissan offers. For example, the Equinox comes with a Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking. It also has a Lane Keep Assist System with a Lane Departure Warning and a Following Distance Indicator. These are all great, but other features like a Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are only standard on the highest trim.
Once you start looking at everything the Nissan Rogue offers, it is easy to see why so many people have chosen it as their crossover year after year. The Chevy Equinox is a fine model in its own right, but it simply needs to keep up with everything the Rogue brings to the road in almost every category. With the 2023 Rogue, you get a better driving experience using less gas, a more spacious interior with better standard and available features, and advanced safety technology on every model.
