To figure this out, you’ll have to compare two local favorites: the Chevy Equinox and the Nissan Rogue. Fortunately, the Baierl Chevrolet team has done so for you! See how the 2020 Chevy Equinox and the Nissan Rogue match up head to head to help make your final decision.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue comes equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that generates 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. However, the Chevy Equinox ups the ante by turbocharging its standard engine. Smaller and lightweight, the 1.5L 4-cylinder produces the same amount of horsepower as the Nissan Rogue but considerably more torque at 203 lb-ft.
However, that’s not all—the 2020 Chevy Equinox has an available engine. While the Nissan Rogue only has one engine option, the Chevy Equinox offers two total engine options. Its top choice is a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.
The power of the standard and available Chevy Equinox engines surpasses the competition in the 2020 Nissan Rogue.
One of the benefits of driving a crossover is the available towing capacity. Weekend getaways, family vacations, and even moving days transform into experiences you’ll look forward to when you’re behind the wheel of an adaptable, flexible crossover.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue offers a maximum towing capacity of 1,102 pounds. With that, you can expect to tow an aluminum boat or a pop-up camper for an upgraded trip to the grounds by the lake. Over in the 2020 Chevy Equinox, you’ll find a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when equipped with the optional 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.
From snowmobiles to jet skis and a travel trailer, no matter what time of year, the Chevy Equinox is ready to bring the fun. Car shoppers looking for a larger towing capacity will appreciate the superb towing capacity of the 2020 Chevy Equinox.
Even the best drivers experience surprises on the road. Heightened awareness helps keep you and everyone onboard safer—and that’s where driver-assisting systems come in. These intelligent features use sensors or cameras to monitor the road ahead, giving you more time to react and avoid potential collisions.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue comes standard with several safety features, such as Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Lane Intervention, and more. These systems are part of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility Safety Shield® 360 suite. These cutting-edge features give you a warning if a detected obstacle is in front of the car or if you veer out of your lane. Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection can even activate the brakes to avoid an accident if necessary.
Other driver-assisting features are available on higher trims in the 2020 Nissan Rogue, such as available ProPILOT Assist.
Similiar to the 2020 Nissan Rogue, the Chevy Equinox safety suite comes standard with Automatic Emergency Braking. To protect both you and your loved ones while in transit, the following features also come standard in the Chevy Equinox:
The 2020 Nissan Rogue offers its own version of features like these; however, they’re not all standard across trim levels. Drivers looking for a more extensive standard safety package will find just that in the 2020 Chevy Equinox.
In addition to this impressive lineup of standard safety features, the 2020 Chevy Equinox also offers OnStar® Safety & Security. This feature includes emergency response services and other aids to help you out of a bind if an accident does occur. With the available OnStar® Safety & Security, you can travel with added peace of mind knowing help is just a button-push away.
In both the 2020 Nissan Rogue and the Chevy Equinox, you’ve got some nice gadgets for safety, but what about gadgets for infotainment? The 2020 Chevy Equinox offers some nice features that you won’t find in the Nissan Rogue. Frequently, technology and safety cross over in your crossover.
Inside the Chevy Equinox, Teen Driver technology is a perfect example of this unique safety-focused technology that’s redefining the driving experience.
Car owners with any new or teen drivers—or just someone who needs some extra monitoring—will appreciate the available Teen Driver technology in the Chevy Equinox. It keeps a digital report card of your driver, including their speed, forward collision alerts, and more. That way, you can coach them on specifics.
In comparison, Teen Driver technology is not offered in the 2020 Nissan Rogue. The Nissan model manages to cover the basics but doesn’t have the bonus features like the Chevy Equinox does. For car shoppers with older children, the added convenience and safety of the Teen Driver technology may be a deal breaker.
Both the 2020 Chevy Equinox and the Nissan Rogue include smartphone integration with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ along with a standard 7-inch touchscreen display. However, the Chevy Equinox offers the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot built in.
That way, you can maintain an internet connection no matter where you roam.
After comparing the 2020 Chevy Equinox to the Nissan Rogue, it should be clear that the Chevy Equinox simply offers a better performance, higher towing capacity, advanced standard safety features, and convenient technology. Read the rest of our Chevy Equinox reviews and comparisons to learn more!
