The 2020 Honda CR-V and 2020 Nissan Rogue are both versatile, fun-to-drive compact SUVs, and either one is a great choice to upgrade your Madison commute. In this CR-V vs. Rogue comparison from Patty Peck Honda, we break down the base engine specs, cargo and towing capacities, and pricing to help you decide which is the better choice for you.

Honda CR-V vs. Nissan Rogue: MSRP

Chances are, one of the first things you’ll look at when shopping for a new SUV is the price tag. The Nissan Rogue and Honda CR-V are both comparably priced, yet the Honda comes in with an MSRP that is $250 less than the Nissan. It’s not a whole lot, but it could be enough to sway many Brandon-area drivers:

• 2020 Honda CR-V LX 2WD CVT: Starts at $25,050*
• 2020 Nissan Rogue S FWD: Starts at $25,300

Honda CR-V vs. Nissan Rogue: Performance

Getting an extra punch of power on the roads in and around Jackson makes driving much more fun. Looking at the entry-level trims of both the CR-V and Rogue, you’ll find there’s a clear winner when it comes to performance:

Honda CR-V

• Base engine: 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder
• Horsepower: 190 hp
• Torque: 179 lb-ft

Nissan Rogue

• Base engine: 2.5L 4-cylinder
• Horsepower: 170 hp
• Torque: 175 lb-ft

In addition, each of the Honda CR-V trim levels and all Nissan Rogue models are available with all-wheel drive, which comes in handy during the winter months around Ridgeland.

Honda CR-V vs. Nissan Rogue: Cargo and Towing

One main reason why SUVs are so popular is their roomy and versatile cabins, and the CR-V offers more cargo space than the Rogue, along with a 60-40 split rear seatback, which isn’t offered in the Nissan. The CR-V also provides a stronger towing capacity, ideal for hauling a small trailer or boat out to Barnett Reservoir. See how the CR-V and Rogue match up in terms of cargo capacity and towing:

Honda CR-V

• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 75.8 cubic feet
• Maximum Towing Capacity: 1,500 pounds

Nissan Rogue

• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 70.0 cubic feet
