The Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Rogue are two popular compact SUVs, and have a lot in common in terms of their measurements and abilities.
Both have decent infotainment systems with smartphone integration, and both offer at least 70 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. Both are also noisy, due to engine noise that comes into the passenger cabin.
The RAV4 has better safety equipment than the Rogue, thanks to its standard Toyota Safety Sense system, and has performed slightly better in crash tests. The RAV4 handles and corners better than the Rogue, as well, and hybrid version is available starting with the 2017 model year.
The Rogue offers a smoother ride and a roomier back seat — and has the option of a third row, though some may find it too crowded. It has a more stylish look and gets better fuel economy than the RAV4.
The right choice for you likely depends on your priorities. If safety is first and foremost, you’ll likely want to look at the Toyota RAV4. But if fuel economy and roominess are more important, check out the Nissan Rogue.
