Why should you care about compact SUVs? If you're a driver who needs cargo space at all times and or needs a vehicle spacious enough for your kids, other relatives, or friends, compact SUVs are the de facto choice for your daily life. To say a 2024 Chevy Equinox vs 2024 Nissan Rogue discussion is necessary for many is putting it lightly, as these are two SUVs that are trying to compete for the attention of you and all the other drivers in the greater area of Albany, NY.
Asking how Chevy's Equinox fares against the Rogue is not an abstract question, given the price differences the two have historically seen. However, with the 2024 models, while there hasn't been much headway in regards to how Nissan plans to tackle Chevy's value propositions, Chevy and Nissan's SUVs are in the midst of their heaviest battle yet, given the evolution of these two popular compact SUVs, and the 2024 model year is an important one because many people like yourself are looking to upgrade.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox and 2024 Nissan Rogue have a healthy supply of safety features. Amidst the collection of SUV safety features both vehicles possess, it's the driver-assistive technologies that aren't only the stars of the show but where each manufacturer can spread its wings to deviate itself from the bulk of the competition. An example of this is Chevy Teen Driver, which is the tech that single-handedly crowns Chevy vehicles as the best choice for families with budding drivers who are still working on mastering the complex art of driving.
If you have a teenager living in the house who recently acquired their driver's license, Teen Driver is signature software designed for you – the parent – more than the teenager behind the wheel. You make the rules, and the Chevy Equinox knows it. That's why you have full access to various vehicle functions you can limit access to – you can set volume and speed limits – and the vehicle also has nifty functions built-in for teenage drivers, such as not allowing the vehicle to begin moving until seatbelts are fastened. When your child arrives home, you get briefed on how they did, so if they're driving more recklessly than you'd prefer, you'll know about it. Nissan doesn't have such a comparable feature, meaning the Equinox is the better vehicle for families from a safety point-of-view.
Chevy Teen Driver comes standard with every 2024 Chevy Equinox, but so does Chevy Safety Assist, which is a suite of driver-assistive features. Nissan holds up well against the 2024 Equinox with its Nissan Safety Shield 360 incorporated into the 2024 Rogue. There's a healthy amount of feature parity between the two. Chevy Safety Assist includes features like Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking, and Nissan battles back with its Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
Both vehicles also come with Lane Departure Warning, but Lane Keep Assist comes standard with the 2024 Equinox, whereas the Nissan equivalent – Intelligent Lane Intervention – is reserved for the costlier trims. There are also a host of available features for both vehicles that are a match between the two, such as the HD Surround Vision camera system being mostly replicated with Nissan's Intelligent Around View Monitor – both give you multiple camera angles of your vehicle's surrounding area. Overall, with the bonus of features like Chevy Teen Driver, the 2024 Equinox proves to be the safer vehicle – especially for families.
Once you open the door to your new SUV, you should be greeted with unparalleled versatility that makes your life easier and more comfortable while driving, but also not forgetting about the passengers – your children, siblings, grandkids, or even your work colleagues. This best describes the Chevy Equinox as it's a vehicle that cares for other people in addition to the one driving the car.
An example of this is how no matter how much money you throw at the 2024 Nissan Rogue, the front passenger's chair is never upgraded past a 4-way power-adjustable seat, but with the 2024 Chevy Equinox, the Premier trim offers an available 8-way power-adjustable front passenger chair. As for the driver's seat, both the 2024 Chevy Equinox and 2024 Nissan Rogue offer 8-way power-adjustable seats, but there's a catch. If you buy the base 2024 Rogue, you can't move past the 6-way manually adjustable driver's chair, whereas the base 2024 Equinox can be fitted with the 8-way power-adjustable seat.
Both the 2024 Equinox and 2024 Rogue have available heated steering wheels, and the same can be applied to both the front and rear seats. The material the seats are made of is where you'll also find another difference. With the 2024 Equinox, you get cloth seats standard, but there's also a high-quality premium cloth, along with genuine leather. The 2024 Nissan Rogue also comes with cloth seats, but instead of premium cloth, they opt for leatherette (synthetic leather) as the middle-ground, with Prima-Tex and TailorFit leatherette seats, albeit you can buy genuine leather too if you prefer.
Despite some differences, both SUVs have lively infotainment centers with more than a handful of exciting features. However, the trade-offs are rather severe between the two. Both infotainment centers support features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but the 2024 Equinox comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard along with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot – all three features aren't standard on the 2024 Rogue.
The trade-off? An extra inch of screen real estate – a 7-inch infotainment center comes standard with the 2024 Equinox with an available 8-inch screen, while the 2024 Rogue comes with an 8-inch screen. The 2024 Rogue did introduce a 12.3-inch screen with added capabilities; it's an outlier and a pricey one at that. The lacking features on the standard 2024 Rogue are more of a deal-breaker than the extra inch of screen may be for most drivers.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox and the 2024 Nissan Rogue are both available in numerous configurations, each with several trims to choose from and optional packages to personalize your SUV. And, contributing to the strengths of the 2024 Equinox, Chevy's SUV is the more affordable option, including the base, mid-tier, and highest-tier trims, with the priciest Equinox shedding far more than a few thousand dollars off the top. The LS is the base 2024 Equinox trim, and the following three are the LT, RS, and Premier. The Rogue S is the base 2024 Rogue model, and following this is the SV, Midnight Edition, SL, and Platinum.
Comparatively, the 2024 Equinox LS and the 2024 Rogue S aren't too dissimilar in how Chevy and Nissan organize the trims and the features that are seen on said trims. For example, both base models come with safety suites and infotainment centers, but moving up the list enhances the experience with extra features for each car, like a hands-free power liftgate for the 2024 Equinox Premier and a Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof for the Rogue SL. Separating the regular trims against one another, the value disparity between the 2024 Equinox and 2024 Rogue is clear – most added features with higher-tier 2024 Rogue models don't make up the cost difference between it and the 2024 Equinox.
Speaking of the 2024 Rogue Midnight Edition, Nissan treats its Midnight Edition as a trim, while Chevy has a couple of stylistic packages available to the 2024 Equinox, one of which is named 'Midnight Edition.' The Midnight Edition package can be applied to the 2024 Equinox LS, and both Chevy and Nissan give these models 18-inch wheels; both editions have a strong focus on a sleek aesthetic with an available one-tone black exterior.
The 2024 Equinox's grille, coupled with its distinctly shaped hood, lends it more of a sporty look than the 2024 Rogue, which is something that will appeal to many drivers. But there's also a Redline Edition for the 2024 Equinox that can be applied to the Premier trim. This edition increases the wheel and tire sizes to 19 inches, exclusive badging and decals, and hints of red can be seen throughout, like across the exterior mirror and inside the wheel. The Redline Edition also morphs the grille into more of a chain link fence aesthetic, which lends the SUV an even more menacing but flashy appearance.
