2019 Chevy Equinox vs 2019 Nissan Rogue

Here's the warm-up round to see how these two SUVs initially square off. The power and performance of the engine in a small SUV might not be quite as important as in something like a heavy-duty pickup or a sporty muscle car, but it still matters. With that in mind, we'll start here and see what the Chevy Equinox and Nissan Rogue have to offer. To keep things fair, we'll compare the starting engines for both vehicles as well as the high-end option that is available.

The standard engine in the 2019 Chevy Equinox is a 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that provides up to 170hp and 203 lb.-ft. of torque. Those numbers wouldn't be amazing in something like a sports car or full-size pickup, but they should do the job in the mid-size Equinox. By comparison, the 2019 Nissan Rogue comes with a 2.5L 16-valve 4-cylinder engine that provides up to 170hp and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. That's pretty close to what the Equinox has, with just a bit less torque...* 

Even when looking at a compact SUV like the Equinox or Rogue, interior space and cargo room is still important. Most of us want an SUV because we have a lot of friends or family to lug around town or we want the space for loading up for a fun weekend away. So let's have a look at what each of these rides has to offer in terms of space.

The 2019 Chevy Equinox has comfortable seating for five people and includes plenty of storage space. There is up to 63.9 cu. ft. of cargo room in the interior, and the seats fold down to make using that space simple. When properly equipped, the Equinox has a maximum towing rating of 3,500 lbs. so it's a great option for pulling a small trailer behind you.
