How the Nissan Rogue Makes for Stiff Competition in the Compact Crossover Class

What makes a compact crossover stand out from the crowd? More specifically, what is it about the Nissan Rogue that has drivers from all over St Paul, Grove Heights, Burnsville, Twin Cities and Minneapolis flocking to our lot to drive and buy one of their very own? We took the liberty of pinning the Rogue against the competition to show our customers precisely when the Nissan SUV pulls ahead of such challengers as the Toyota RAV4. Continue reading to see which rounds our favorite player is winning:

• As compact crossovers, both the Rogue and RAV4 are expected to deliver better fuel economy than their larger lineup mates. However, the Rogue not only pulls ahead of midsize models, its more efficient than the RAV4, too.
• Your vehicle is your home away from home, and the Rogue better caters to your comforts with more power outlets and storage compartments than the RAV4.
• Safety comes standard in the Rogue with a vehicle security system and mirror-integrated turn signals. It also comes in the form of an Around View camera system, moving object detection and many more advanced safety systems than Toyota's compact.
• Lighten up, Toyota! The RAV4 is burdened by having a heavier curb weight than the Rogue, yet the Nissan is taller and longer, making for greater cargo and passenger volume as well as more headroom and legroom.
• And last but not leas is the Rogue's available third-row seat. The RAV4 can only seat five while, but when properly equipped, the Rogue is capable of seating seven. Even the seats in the Rogue are better thanks to those famous NASA-inspired "Zero Gravity" seats which are designed to reduce driver fatigue with strategic back support and comfort.
