At Grossman Nissan in Old Saybrook, we want to help you make the right decision. Consider the comparisons below, and let us know when you want to test drive your new model!
Nissan Rogue vs. Ford Escape
Performance: When you're looking to push your SUV to the limits, the Nissan Rogue has an easier time keeping up around the Connecticut Shoreline than its Ford rival. The Rogue employs a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, delivering 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. The Escape also equips a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder but only manages 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque.
Interior Space: Whether you're looking to make room for your passengers or on larger-than-expected shopping trips, the Nissan Rogue offers a roomier ride. Both SUVs seat five passengers, but the Nissan Rogue provides 105.4 cubic feet of passenger space to the Ford Escape's 104 cubic feet. The Nissan Rogue also offers 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space, nearly 10-cubic feet more than the Ford Escape.
Technology: The Nissan Rogue comes standard with a keyless start, a feature you can't find on the base Ford Escape model. The Nissan Rogue SUV also features a rear parking aid and standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity, technology you'll need to pay more for on the Ford Escape.
Nissan Rogue vs. Honda CR-V
Performance: While the Honda CR-V packs its own turbocharged engine to help you manage your morning commute, the best it can do is offer 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. The Nissan Rogue's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder easily outperforms the CR-V, offering 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque.
Infotainment: When you want to enjoy your drive, the experience found in the Nissan Rogue is superior to the one offered by the Honda CR-V. The Nissan Rogue comes standard with the NissanConnect® eight-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity. The Honda CR-V doesn't come standard with a touchscreen or smartphone integration, requiring an upgrade to more expensive models.
Safety Features: The Nissan Rogue comes with an exceptional range of driver assistance features standard and available to help you navigate the roads around Guilford, CT. The Rogue comes standard with Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Rear Automatic Braking, features not standard to the Honda CR-V base model. The Nissan Rogue also offers Blind Spot Intervention - the CR-V doesn't offer this.
Nissan Rogue vs. Mazda CX-5
Performance: Once again, the Rogue's base turbocharged engine beats out the standard options offered by its rivals, including the Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 makes 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, falling behind the output offered by the 1.5-liter four-cylinder under the Rogue's hood.
Available Features: Sometimes, buying an SUV means exploring the high-level features you can find throughout the lineup. The Nissan Rogue completes your experience with features like Intelligent Around View® Monitor, class-exclusive Zero Gravity Seats, and Tri-Zone Climate Control. The Mazda CX-5 doesn't offer any of these features.
Cargo Space: The Nissan Rogue expands to accommodate your shopping needs wherever your adventures take you. The Rogue gets 36.5 cubic feet of storage behind the second row and up to 74.1 cubic feet with the second-row seats folded. Unfortunately, the Mazda CX-5 will limit what you can carry, only offering 30.8/59.3 cubic feet.
