Safety

Both the 2023 Rogue and the 2023 CR-V feature the latest active safety technologies. However, the Nissan Rogue gives you some features that you won't find in the CR-V. The perfect example is the Nissan ProPilot Assist technology.

Nissan ProPilot Assist is a lot more than just an adaptive cruise control system. It has the ability to keep you in the centre of your lane while your hands are on the steering wheel. You feel the steering wheel turning under your hands and the Rogue can even follow curves in the road. Better yet, the latest generation of Nissan ProPilot Assist has the ability to automatically slow down when coming on a highway exit or when a sharp corner is coming up. The Honda CR-V does not have this level of driving assistance.

Performance and fuel economy

Once again the Nissan Rogue and the Honda CR-V shine against their competitors when it comes to performance and for the fuel efficiency. However when comparing them to each other, the Nissan Rogue continues to have the advantage.

The Rogue has the advantage both in terms of performance and fuel economy over the Honda CR-V.

The Rogue has 201 hp and 225 pound-feet of torque. The Honda CR-V has 190 hp and 179 pound-feet of torque. That is nearly a 50 pound-feet of torque difference and when it comes to driving in the city or passing on the highway, torque is what matters most. The Nissan Rogue is simply quicker and more dynamic than the Honda CR-V.
