Whats the Difference Between the Nissan Rogue and Honda CR-V?
Posted on August 29, 2025
The 2025 Nissan Rogue brings comfort right from the first drive. It uses a 1.5-litre turbo engine that feels smooth in city traffic and steady on the highway. You get 201 horsepower and a clever variable compression system that adjusts power and efficiency as needed. The CR-V has a 1.5-litre turbo too, but it offers slightly less horsepower and doesn’t feel as lively in quick merges. In snowy or icy conditions, the Rogue’s available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adjusts faster, helping you stay steady through sharp turns or slushy roads.
Inside feels different too
Sit inside the Rogue and you’ll see right away how quiet it feels. The cabin is insulated well, so even when traffic on the Henday is loud, the inside stays calm. The CR-V’s cabin is also well-made but lets in a bit more outside noise. In the Rogue, you get optional quilted leather seats, a large panoramic moonroof, and customizable digital screens up to 12.3 inches. The CR-V keeps things clean and simple but doesn’t offer the same level of tech at every trim.
Tech that makes driving easier
The Rogue really leans into tech. You can use Google Built-In, which works like a smartphone inside your dash. You ask for directions, music, or the weather, and it just responds. The CR-V has a touchscreen too, but you only get basic navigation unless you plug in your phone. The Rogue also has an available Head-Up Display that shows your speed and directions right on the windshield. It helps you keep eyes on the road, especially during icy downtown drives or long highway trips.
Both carry a lot, but one does it smarter
Need space for a road trip or Costco run? The Rogue and CR-V both have strong cargo space, with the CR-V slightly ahead in raw numbers. But Rogue offers Divide-N-Hide storage, which lets you move panels around to separate gear, groceries, or tools. It’s flexible, especially in winter when snow brushes and boots often end up in the back.
