Nissan Rogue vs Honda CR-V Comparison

• The Nissan Rogue is more affordable than the Honda CR-V: As much as car dealerships and salespeople will suggest that the right fit is far more important, your budget does play a crucial role in deciding on the perfect vehicle. With that in mind, you'll be able to better fit most Nissan Rogue editions into your budget compared to similar versions of the CR-V. This is especially helpful for shoppers choosing a base or lower trim level for their small SUV, as that's where there's the widest gap between the affordable Nissan Rogue and the costlier CR-V.
• The Nissan Rogue is more powerful and more efficient than the base level Honda CR-V: We'll give a half-point to Honda for making an optional hybrid engine available in higher trims of the CR-V - albeit at a much higher cost - but when sticking to the base gas-powered engines in these small SUVs, the Nissan Rogue is clearly the best choice. With a unique turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the Nissan Rogue produces 201 horsepower with a strong 225 pound-feet of torque. The base turbo four-cylinder in the CR-V tops out at only 190 horsepower with 179 pound-feet of torque.

  Meanwhile, when stacking up the gas-powered CR-V to the Rogue in terms of fuel economy, Nissan's small SUV takes the cake. With the standard front-wheel drive, the Rogue earns up to 37 mpg on the highway, a strong figure that bests even some smaller sedans and hatchbacks. Meanwhile, the CR-V's max rating - unless you spend more for its optional hybrid system - is 34 mpg on the highway. The optional all-wheel drive system found in both SUVs - a smart choice to have during tough winters around Parsippany-Troy Hills and Hackettstown - will knock back the fuel efficiency ratings a touch, with the Rogue still having the advantage.

• The Nissan Rogue has the edge for safety technology: Both the Nissan Rogue and the new CR-V bundle an assortment of standard driver aids, giving you similar setups for collision mitigation, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, automatic braking, and more. But it's at the higher trims with the best safety technology that the Rogue once again holds the advantage. The available Nissan ProPilot Assist system is standard in all levels of the Rogue expect the starting trim, and offers a nearly semi-autonomous driving experience that's far more comprehensive and safe to use than what a fully loaded CR-V provides.
