2025 Nissan Rogue vs 2025 Honda CR-V: Which SUV Delivers More for Edmonton?
The 2025 Nissan Rogue and 2025 Honda CR-V are two popular choices for drivers looking for a reliable, midsize SUV. Both models offer roomy cabins, good safety ratings, and available all-wheel drive, making them well-suited for life in Edmonton. Whether it’s commuting through winter weather or heading out for weekend drives, these SUVs are built to handle it. This side-by-side look will help you see how each one performs when it comes to power, tech, comfort, and everyday practicality.
A Fresh Powertrain with Smarter Efficiency
The 2025 Nissan Rogue brings something the CR-V doesn’t: an advanced VC-Turbo engine. It adjusts power and efficiency on the go, offering 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. In comparison, the CR-V’s 1.5L turbo only gives 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft. You feel the difference during merging or passing. Rogue also uses less fuel on the highway, with 6.7 L/100 km versus 7.6 in the CR-V AWD. It’s more fun to drive and easier on your fuel budget across Alberta highways.
AWD That Thinks for You
All 2025 Rogue models come standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It switches power between front and rear wheels automatically, helping you stay confident in Edmonton snow or rainy backroads. The CR-V only offers AWD on some trims, and it doesn’t come with drive mode options like Snow or Off-Road. With five drive modes, Rogue feels ready for whatever weather Edmonton throws your way.
Tech That Feels One Step Ahead
Inside the Rogue, available tech includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, digital gauge cluster, and even Google built-in. Everything connects wirelessly, including your smartphone. The CR-V limits wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to hybrid trims. The gas-only models stick to wired connections and smaller screens. You also don’t get Google integration unless you jump into higher trims not available on the gas-only CR-V.
More Comfort in Every Row
The Rogue’s interior has more premium touches right from the start. Optional semi-aniline leather, a panoramic moonroof, and Zero Gravity seats help ease long drives. The CR-V has quality materials too, but it holds back its luxury features unless you choose the hybrid. Rogue also gives more standard comfort like a motion-activated liftgate and remote rear seat folding, making life easier when your hands are full.
Safety That Feels Automatic
Both models offer solid safety features, but the Rogue pushes things further. Every model includes Nissan Safety Shield 360 with blind spot warning, emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims add ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which even allows hands-off highway driving in certain conditions. The CR-V offers good driver aids, but it doesn’t match this level of semi-autonomous driving unless you upgrade to higher hybrid models.
Come See Why Rogue Feels Just Right
