2019 Honda CR-V vs. 2019 Nissan Rogue

In the performance category, the 2019 Honda CR-V wins this compact SUV comparison. While both feature two engine options, the brawny in-line 4-Cylinder engine of the CR-V offers up better fuel economy and performance:

• Honda CR-V: Enjoy a maximum of 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, 1,500 pounds of towing capacity, and an EPA estimated 28/34 city/highway mpg.**
• Nissan Rogue: Top out with a maximum of 170 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, 1,102 pounds of towing capability, and an EPA-estimated 26/33 city/highway mpg.

Drivers will find available leather trim, seating for 5, and plenty of safety features in the cabin of both the 2019 CR-V and Rogue, yet there are still ways in which the CR-V distinguishes itself, including:

• A notable 75.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo space on the CR-V compared to the 70 cubic feet in the Rogue — a difference you’ll surely notice on road trips far from Naperville.
• The CR-V can fit up to three car seats with its three LATCH systems while the Nissan Rogue only offers two LATCH systems.
• Rear passengers can stretch out with 40.4 inches and while Rogue riders will be a little more cramped with 37.9 inches of space.
