From Car and Driver

  • We compare the new 2021 Nissan Rogue to its chief rivals, the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

  • The Nissan is redesigned for 2021 with a new look and many new features.

  • It is similar to the Toyota and Honda in many ways, but unlike them, it does not offer a hybrid model.

Compact crossovers are big sellers in today's auto market, and the new 2021 Nissan Rogue is here to gain back some of the ground it has lost in recent years against popular models such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V. We decided to compare the new Rogue's specifications against these rivals to see how the redesigned version stacks up.

Size and Cargo Space

The 2021 Rogue is slightly smaller than its predecessor, but it remains a bit bigger than both the RAV4 and the CR-V. It is larger in wheelbase and overall length, although it is a bit narrower than both the Honda and the Toyota.

The new Rogue loses a bit of cargo space and now now offers 37 cubic feet behind the second row of seats. That's a bit less than the CR-V and the RAV4. We look forward to measuring how many of our carry-on suitcases fit in the Rogue's cargo area when we are able to get our hands on the new model. In this test, the 2020 Rogue accommodated 10 suitcases, matching the RAV4 and CR-V's results.
