It’s time for you to slide into the driver’s seat of a new SUV. There are many options on the road around Lynnfield, MA, so how do you know where to start?
Luckily, your friends at Kelly Nissan of Lynnfield are here to help you. We pitted two of the top competitors in their class, the 2022 Nissan Rogue and 2022 Chevy Equinox, in a head-to-head battle to help you better decide on the right one for you.
Come see which vehicle will come out on top!
HORSEPOWER
EPA est. HWY MPG1
REAR AUTOMATIC BRAKING
The first round of this battle pits the powertrains of both SUVs against one another. Who will come out on top and deliver the performance you crave?
The Chevy Equinox starts off solid with a 1.5-liter engine generating 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Want to kick it up a notch? The 1.5-liter powertrain in the 2022 Nissan Rogue amps up your drive with 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque.
The best part is that neither SUV sacrifices efficiency for power. With the Equinox, you’ll still be treated to an EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway MPG. Once again, though, the Rogue takes it one step further by earning an EPA-estimated 30 city/37 highway MPG—keeping you on the freeway for longer.1
Clearly, the first round went to the Rogue, but can the Equinox catch up?
Let’s continue with a look at the type of space these SUVs have to offer:
|
NISSAN ROGUE
|
CHEVY EQUINOX
|
|
|---|---|---|
| FRONT HEADROOM | 41.1" | 40" |
| REAR HEADROOM | 43.3" | 38.5" |
As you can see, drivers and passengers are sure to delight in the extra inches the Rogue has to offer. When you’ve been behind the wheel for a long stretch, the Rogue also has 41.5 inches of front legroom for you to relax in.
You may feel a little cramped with only 40.9 inches of front legroom in the Equinox, though.
It’s beginning to look like a runaway for the 2022 Nissan Rogue as we approach the third and final round. Will the Equinox be able to hold out?
The Chevy Equinox starts off strong by offering standard Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, the same as the Rogue. This feature measures the distance between your SUV and frontal obstacles, alerting you when you’re too close. If needed, it even applies the brakes to help keep you out of harm’s way.
Want this same protection in the rear of your vehicle? No problem—the Rogue also comes standard with Rear Automatic Braking to bring you to a stop when you’re too close to another vehicle when parking or backing out of your driveway.
Since the Equinox does not offer a comparable system, it looks like the Rogue is delivering its final, heavy-hitting blow.
The battle is over, and the 2022 Nissan Rogue is left standing. With more power, efficiency, safety technology, and interior space, it seems the Chevy Equinox didn’t stand a chance.
