Honda CR-V vs Nissan Rogue

Compact SUVs are as popular as ever, if not more so, and for many years now the Honda CR-V has led the pack as a consumer choice on America's roadways. Still, can this well-adored sport utility vehicle maintain its standing in light of the wealth of competitors who have stepped up their games to grab the top spot?

That's something many drivers in East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, Bethlehem, Easton and Jim Thorpe would like to know. The roadways in this region, as many Pocono drivers know, get rough in the winter time, and they want the best in SUVs to get them and their families safely around.

Among the most visible competitors to the Honda CR-V is the Nissan Rogue. Let's take a look at the 2017 Honda CR-V vs Nissan Rogue car comparison in terms of comfort, features, and other offerings to see which is the best in this battle of the compact SUVs.

Safety Concerns: Honda CR-V vs Nissan Rogue

 With so many people choosing SUVs as family vehicles, safety is a natural concern. In this area, both the Nissan Rogue and the Honda CR-V do well, but the 2017 Honda CR-V offers just a bit more in terms of its Honda Sensing technology. This suite of driver-assist and safety tech gives you forward crash warning and mitigation, automatic braking, lane departure and keeping functions, and adaptive cruise control as well as blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, automatic high beams, and more.

The Rogue, by comparison, does offer its own suite of advanced safety features, but these are only available at the highest trim level, so you'll have to upgrade all the way to get the best. The Honda provides its safety suite at its mid-level trims.

Standard Engine Performance: Honda CR-V vs Nissan Rogue

When it comes to standard engines, the Honda comes out ahead again. While the Nissan offers a larger capacity engine in its 2.5L inline four as opposed to the Honda's 1.5L direct-injected DOHC inline four, the Honda's turbocharged engine puts out 190 horsepower as opposed to the 170 delivered by the Rogue, and it shows in terms of acceleration.

Interior Space and Comfort: Honda CR-V vs Nissan Rogue

In the 2017 Honda CR-V vs Nissan Rogue car comparison, both vehicles, being of a similar size, offer excellent interior comfort. However, the CR-V features best-in-class interior room, including overall space and legroom in the rear as well as premium touches and materials inside and a driver's seat with 10-way adjustment, which the Rogue can't match.

In terms of cargo space, the Rogue delivers 32 cubic feet of space with the seats up and 70 cubic feet with them folded down, and the CR-V gives you 39.2 cubic feet with seats up and 75.8 with them folded, and adds several cubby holes for small item storage throughout.
