Interior space is a critical evaluator for compact family SUVs. The 2024 Honda CR-V offers more interior space than the 2024 Nissan Rogue. This Honda SUV has three more cubic feet, plus a larger and more versatile trunk with up to 39 cubic feet of space. You can even adjust the trunk floor height to suit your cargo-carrying needs. On the other hand, the 2024 Rogue offers 37 cubic feet of cargo space and a fixed-height trunk floor.
Cabin comfort is another area where the 2024 CR-V wins in our Honda vs. Nissan competition. The 2024 CR-V has been engineered with active noise canceling on all trims. This ensures a peaceful cabin environment by filtering out engine and road noise. Furthermore, the front seats have been designed to reduce fatigue, particularly for drivers. Rear-seat passengers also enjoy enhanced comfort thanks to adjustable reclining rear seats. This isn’t present on the 2024 Rogue. Additionally, the 2024 CR-V offers rear USB charging ports and plenty of cup holders.
The 2024 CR-V and the 2024 Rogue have Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility on all trims. Venturing up their respective trim ladders, you can have dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable driver seats, and heated front seats. Options on the 2024 CR-V also include a Bose sound system and a wireless phone charging pad.
Honda offers two powertrains for the 2024 CR-V, and they are trim-specific. Lower trims come with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The automaker also offers this engine in the 2024 Accord and 2024 Civic. However, it develops 190 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque for the 2024 CR-V. It is paired with a CVT gearbox and front-wheel drive. Moreover, buyers can choose all-wheel-drive as an option.
Higher trims receive a special hybrid powertrain. Comprising a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine plus an electric motor, it delivers 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque. An electronic CVT gearbox sends power to the front wheels. Again, all-wheel-drive is optional.
Hill descent control, hill start assist, and Eco Assist are standard across the 2024 CR-V range. This last feature helps drivers adapt to a more fuel-efficient driving style. Non-hybrid variants also come with a three-mode drive selector that offers Eco, Normal, and Snow modes. Meanwhile, hybrid trims add a fourth mode, called Sport.
The 2024 Rogue comes only with one powertrain. A 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine makes 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. A CVT gearbox and front-wheel drive is standard. All-wheel-drive is optional. There’sno hybrid powertrain available.
The 2024 CR-V range includes Honda’s Sensing® suite as standard. It provides forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and autonomous emergency braking. You’ll also have adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and lane-departure warning.
The 2024 Nissan Rogue doesn't include all these features as standard; some are optional. However, both compact SUVS also come with airbags, stability control, child safety locks, and tire pressure monitoring systems.
The 2024 Honda CR-V is an excellent choice in this Honda vs. Nissan match-up. The CR-V has a nicer cabin with more tech toys and offers a comfortable ride experience. This Honda SUV also has two powerful and efficient powertrains. Finally, Honda’s Sensing® suite comes with plenty of safety features. This is critical in a family vehicle.
