Key Differences
-
The Rogue has 38% more cargo space
This is one of the widest gaps in the whole comparison: 36.5 cu ft for the Rogue versus 26.4 cu ft for the Equinox EV. Cargo space behind the rear seats is what you use every day for groceries, strollers and luggage.
-
The Rogue has 30% more maximum cargo space
The Equinox EV lists 57.2 cu ft; the Rogue comes in at 74.1 cu ft. That’s not a rounding error. Check the shape of the load floor too: a flat floor can matter as much as the number.
