Vehicle Comparison Rundown
The Jeep Cherokee and the Nissan Rogue are both compact, two-row SUVs. Both the Cherokee and the Rogue come with front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.
In a comparison of available engines, the Rogue is thoroughly out-powered by the Cherokee. The Rogue’s standard 170 horsepower is less than the Cherokee’s 180-horsepower standard engine. To make things worse, the Rogue does not even offer a higher-powered engine to compete with the Cherokee’s 271-horsepower optional power plant. The Rogue does offer a hybrid version, for those who would prefer one.
The Nissan Rogue does claim a victory over the Jeep Cherokee in the arena of cargo space. The Cherokee provides you with 54.9 cubic feet of space with the rear seats folded. The Rogue has much more, with a huge 70 cubic feet of hauling space behind the front row. Advantage Rogue.
Another decision point that may help you decide is this: How much off-roading do you plan on doing? The Rogue will be fine for light-duty dirt roads on the way to the campsite. But for serious four-wheeling, the Cherokee will leave the competition in its dust. There’s just no contest in this regard.
Do you need a great everyday vehicle with plenty of room inside, but that you’ll rarely take off the pavement? The Rogue is a great choice. Or are you yearning to go way off the beaten path? The Cherokee will be your trusted companion.
