Reliable engineering is at the core of a trusted vehicle, and both the CR-V and the Rogue are made with this in mind. Each model comes standard with a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that generates all the energy you need for life on the road. They offer comparable horsepower and torque, so you’ll have trusted performance with both models.

Each SUV comes standard with front-wheel drive for predictable and easy handling. If you plan off-road adventures or need the ability to handle tricky road conditions, each model also offers an available all-wheel drive system. With so much in common between these two SUVs, any differences become even more distinguishing.

The key to longevity on the road is how well your vehicle uses the contents of its fuel tank. Everyone can appreciate a vehicle with improved fuel economy—it means you’ll save time at the pump and enjoy more time on the road with your SUV. Hybrid technology is critical to maximizing gas, and one of these SUVs has that option.

When properly equipped, the CR-V's hybrid engine achieves an EPA-estimated 43 city/36 MPG rating.^* The combination of traditional gas power with electricity means you can stay out on the road longer between each pit stop. You’ll only find this revolutionary technology in the CR-V, as the Rogue has no hybrid options.

Road trips are better when you have friends along for the ride. Each SUV has room for five riders, and you’ll want them to have plenty of room to move around and get settled. While the front rows are comparable, the rear row in the CR-V gives your friends more room to stretch out. The CR-V has a spacious 41 inches of legroom for back-seat riders, compared to just 38.5 inches in the Rogue.

The front row in the CR-V also gives you more space to get settled. It features 57.9 inches of shoulder room and 55.6 inches of hip room to shuffle around as you find your comfort zone behind the wheel—meanwhile, those areas in the Rogue measure 57.1 inches and 54.1 inches, respectively.

You’ll often find yourself driving solo, leaving more room to store your favorite gear and equipment for your adventure. Cargo space lets you stow your luggage and bring home larger purchases, like furniture and other oversized items. More is better, and the CR-V comes out on top again.

With its rear seats upright, the CR-V has 39.3 cubic feet of cargo volume for your luggage, groceries, and other everyday needs. You can then fold down the rear seats and expand your cargo area to 76.5 cubic feet. The Rogue falls short with its cargo capabilities, measuring 36.5 and 74.1 cubic feet, respectively.

Every good drive begins in the cockpit. You'll want to ensure that you're in your ideal position, especially if you have a long stretch of highway ahead. Your comfort is critical, and the CR-V lets you find the perfect position.

While both vehicles offer available lumbar support and power seats, only the CR-V has an available 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat to help you find the sweet spot. It also includes 2-position memory, compared to the single-position memory in the Rogue. The CR-V also offers an available 4-way power adjustable passenger seat, something the Rogue can’t match.

Each vehicle has multiple trim levels that have their own set of equipment and features. Having more trims to choose from means you’ll have more options to find the vehicle that’s right for you. Compared to the four trims of the Rogue, the CR-V has six versions to explore, giving you more choices on the quest for an SUV that’s right for you. When you explore the CR-V trims, you’ll find available features such as:

• Customizable 9-inch center touchscreen
• Bose® premium 12-speaker audio system
• Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation
• Hands-free tailgate
• Heated steering wheel

The Nissan Rogue offers many similar available features, although its Bose® premium audio system provides just 10 speakers compared to the dozen you’ll enjoy in the CR-V.
