When you’re shopping for a family SUV, both the 2026 Nissan Rogue and the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox are likely to be on your list. While they’re both versatile SUVs suited to everyday commuting, errands, and family road trips, the 2026 Nissan Rogue has several advantages. Here at Hall Nissan Virginia Beach, we compare these two SUVs to help you make an informed decision.
Engine Performance
The first advantage of the 2026 Nissan Rogue is in its engine performance. The Nissan SUV cranks out 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque from its 1.5-liter VC-Turbo® engine. On the other hand, the Chevrolet Equinox has a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that is good for 175 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque with FWD or 203 lb-ft with AWD, giving the Nissan SUV a torque and horsepower advantage. This is especially useful when merging onto highways or accelerating with extra passengers on board.
Both of these SUVs offer available all-wheel drive, which gives you extra traction in tough conditions. The Nissan Rogue has five drive modes when equipped with optional Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, including Eco and Sport settings. The Chevrolet Equinox has three drive modes but not the Eco or Sport modes found on the Nissan Rogue.
Cargo Space and Interior Features
While both SUVs seat five passengers, the Nissan Rogue has more maximum cargo room. When you fold down the rear seats, it provides up to 74.1 cubic feet. The Chevrolet Equinox falls short with 63.5 cubic feet. The Nissan Rogue also has an advanced available Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System, which provides six configurations for organizing items behind the second row. Finally, the Nissan Rogue has an available Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control system that lets the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers choose separate temperature settings. The Chevrolet SUV falls short with a dual-zone system.
