You live an active lifestyle, which we get. You need a vehicle that can keep up with those weekend getaways, trips to the gym, and rides to the grocery store. Among the many compact SUVs out there, some of the best options are the 2023 Chevy Equinox and the 2023 Nissan Rogue.
To see for yourself how these vehicles meet the needs of Indianapolis, Fishers, and Speedway drivers, Andy Mohr Speedway Chevrolet is here with this comparison. Take a look and see how these SUVs size up against each other!

SUVs are athletic by nature; so, it’s no surprise that the Chevy Equinox and the Nissan Rogue sport impressive capabilities. While they exhibit similar strength, the Equinox eclipses the Rogue when it comes to dynamism.
SUVs are known for their versatility, and for the Chevy Equinox and Nissan Rogue, it all starts with the engine. Drivers will find impressive engines equipped on either model—each offering a steadfast startup that will make you as energized as your morning cup. With similar engines under the hood, both models can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped!
Despite their similar powertrains, the 6-speed automatic transmission of the Equinox offers a sportier experience on the road than the Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) of the Rogue. With the Xtronic CVT®, you’ll miss out on the sensation of the gears shifting, which will create a less engaging experience.
Chevy and Nissan believe your safety is a top priority, which can be shown in their standard safety suites. However, the Equinox delivers peace of mind to all riders beyond driver assistance.
To make sure you’re as secure as possible, both SUVs are fully equipped with unique safety features. You’ll find a standard Automatic Emergency Braking system aboard both the Chevy Equinox and the Nissan Rogue. You can count on your vehicle to look out for you by braking automatically in case of a possible collision.
Their respective safety suites also share these brand-specific features:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- IntelliBeam
To provide efficient information of where possible accidents may be occurring, only the Chevy Equinox is designed with an available Safety Alert Seat. This feature uses seat-bottom pulses to alert you of possible accidents, so you’re always informed without the use of audible alerts.
All parents are hesitant to let their teenager get behind the wheel. However, when you choose the Equinox, your worries can wash away with standard Teen Driver technology. This feature lets you customize and limit certain vehicle features to promote proper driving behaviors. Unfortunately, the Nissan Rogue goes without a similar feature.
No matter if you live in a climate that experiences all four seasons or varying degrees of the same temperature, you deserve a vehicle that keeps you comfortable. With the help of seating amenities in the Equinox and the Rogue, every ride will be worthwhile.
To help you settle in on cooler days, the Chevy Equinox and Nissan Rogue offer available heated front seats. Turn this feature on, and your SUV will warm up your seats to help ease your goosebumps. Pair this with the available heated steering wheel in either SUV, and you’ll be set for the coziest cold commute.
Even your rear passengers can get in on the action with available heated rear outboard seats in either SUV.
During warmer weather, the Chevy Equinox has you taken care of with its available ventilated front seating. This system blows cool air through your front seats, so you can settle down while traveling on extra-warm days. The Rogue doesn’t offer a similar feature.
With so much utility at your disposal, it’s no wonder why the Chevy Equinox and Nissan Rogue are such popular vehicles in the Indianapolis, Fishers, and Speedway areas. However, with the sportier transmission, additional driver assistance, and comfort amenities of the Equinox, we feel it has an edge over the Rogue.
