The world is filled with different paths to explore, and you need an SUV ready to take it all on. The more capable your vehicle, the more you can do and explore. Engineering makes a difference when distinguishing the Rogue and the Equinox.
When you encounter steep hills, tricky terrain, or long open stretches of road, you’ll need a strong vehicle to keep pushing forward. Powerful engines are at the heart of any great SUV, allowing you to explore more of the world. Thanks to superior Nissan engineering, the Rogue easily outpaces the Equinox. Power is always a desirable commodity, and the Rogue is your source of capable strength.

Strength is only the start of what makes an SUV fun to drive. Supportive engineering allows the engine to live up to its potential. The transmission is critical to steady acceleration and a smoother ride, so a sophisticated system will take your travel to the next level.
The Equinox comes with a traditional 6-speed automatic transmission. It’s a standard system you’ve grown accustomed to. The Rogue, on the other hand, includes the Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission®. Its revolutionary equipment makes micro-adjustments, so your vehicle’s engine’s energy is always used optimally. Seamless shifting makes your cruising more enjoyable.
You and your fellow travelers will spend a lot of time inside your next SUV. The cabin is key to your enjoyment as you travel mile after mile. It should be a comfortable place where everyone can relax and enjoy the ride.
Having more room to stretch out is always a bonus. Every inch counts when you have family and friends coming along for the adventure. The Nissan Rogue has more passenger volume, particularly in the rear row, for everyone to stretch out and relax, making it an easy choice for groups on the go.

The Rogue and the Equinox share similar features that make life on the road more comfortable. Available heating for front and rear seats, leather upholstery, and automatic climate control systems give you more ways to stay relaxed as you begin the next leg of your road trip.
After a night out, you’ll want to return to the driver’s seat easily to start the journey home. Only the Nissan Rogue offers available Welcome Lighting to help you find your way back inside the cabin. These remote-operated lights illuminate the ground just outside the door, allowing you to see your vehicle better as you approach.
Modern vehicle design means having state-of-the-art innovation at your side. These features make your time behind the wheel more entertaining thanks to simple connection and operation.
Everyone values a safe vehicle, especially when others come along for the ride. The Rogue and the Equinox have various driver-assistive technologies that grant you peace of mind thanks to external sensors and in-vehicle computers. They share many similar features, including:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- High Beam Assist
Despite their similarities, the Rogue goes the extra mile by offering standard Blind Spot Warning. This system notifies you when other traffic is nearby yet out of view, allowing you to merge and change lanes safely. The Equinox has a similar feature, though only on select models.
There’s lots of fun to be had out on the open road. When your passengers are settled in, you can access Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ in either SUV to stream your favorite music. A road trip playlist makes a massive difference, just like the quality of your audio system.
The Nissan Rogue implements an available Bose® Premium Audio System for supreme audio fidelity. It uses 10 speakers throughout the cabin to produce a high-quality surround-sound experience from every seat. The Equinox also has an available sound system with seven speakers.
The Nissan Rogue features superior design in every area, making it the clear choice among SUVs for drivers seeking versatility on the road. No matter what your plans are in Jackson, Mckean, Erie, or Asbury, PA, the Rogue will be ready to help you take it on and seize the day.
