2016 Nissan Rogue vs 2016 Chevy Equinox

Clean cut and compact, the 2016 Nissan Rogue vs 2016 Chevy Equinox takes two of the more competitive and value-packed smaller-scale crossover SUVs head-to-head. Neither vehicle is called upon as a people-hauler, but rather are flexible choices for those who do or do not have families. And while the Chevy Equinox remains a five-seater, the Rogue does squeeze in a third row if need be, creating the capability to seat up to seven passengers.

Two-row seating is standard but the third-row of seating is available two the S and SV trim levels. In total, the Nissan Rogue is available in three trim levels: S, SV, and SL. The 2016 Chevy Equinox lists four trims, the L, LS, LT, and LTZ. Both crossovers are front-wheel drive vehicles while all-wheel drive models are available.

Nissan’s intuitive all-wheel drive system allows the Rogue to redirect torque to any wheel that may be slipping, helping it to regain traction and remain on track on loose gravel, wet pavement, or during poor weather conditions.
