Two vehicles that are most popular in the compact SUV segment are the 2015 Honda CR-V and the 2015 Nissan Rogue. Both of these models have been recently redesigned; this has put them miles ahead of the competition in terms of innovation, style, and quality.
Nissan Rouge Wins as a Compact SUV
One of the main differences between these vehicles has to do with the amount of interior space that they have. The 2015 Honda CR-V has considerably more interior space than the Rouge and the dimensions are almost large enough to classify it as a mid-size SUV. The Rouge, on the other hand, has interior dimensions that are smaller and closer to what a typical compact SUV would have.
Performance
One area where both the CR-V and Rogue stand out for the new 2015 model year is in performance and efficiency. The Honda CR-V comes with a new “Earth Dreams” 2.4-liter engine with direct injection. This new engine is also paired with a new Continuously Variable Transmission. This new engine is able to reach its top horsepower 600 RPMs earlier than the previous generation, which really improves performance. The Nissan Rogue features the same 2.5 liter engine as last year, which is paired up to a continuously variable transmission again as well.
Fuel Economy
Both of these vehicles get exceptional fuel economy and are among the best in the compact SUV segment. The 2015 Honda CR-V gets an EPA estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway, which is three miles per gallon better than the previous model year. The 2015 Nissan Rogue is equally as impressive with an EPA estimated 33 miles per gallon* on the highway.
While close in the eyes of most, you can see that the Rogue has the edge in overall SUVing when being compared to the CR-V . Make an appointment with Lee Nissan Ft. Walton Beach to test drive your Rogue today!
