2025 Nissan Rogue vs 2025 Honda CR-V

Looks can be promising, but you shouldn’t settle for empty promises. We’ve seen too many people fall victim to the seemingly sporty ride just to find out that it chokes under pressure. We’re here to tell you that the 2025 Nissan Rogue is actually built for sport while looking the part! Honda’s latest CR-V falls greatly behind not just in its weaker powertrain, but in countless other aspects.

Performance

A 1.5L DOHC VC-Turbo engine is what drives the new Nissan Rogue, and it’s everything you would expect from an automaker that values performance. You’ll get 201 horsepower out of this finely-tuned powertrain, as well as 225 lb-ft of torque. That alone is plenty for a sporty compact crossover, but the Rogue also displays exceptional finesse to make good use of all that firepower. Nissan’s Xtronic CVT system curates a flawless drive while Intelligent Trace Control gets you moving in a fluid motion. Opt for Intelligent AWD to complete your picture-perfect journey anywhere your heart takes you. The new 2025 Nissan Rogue really does have it all, making it a top choice for many drivers in North Tampa.

Honda’s latest CR-V also comes with a 1.5L turbo, minus all of the fancy enhancements. Because of its lacking powertrain, the 2025 CR-V only gets 190 horsepower. You might think that its lesser powertrain was included in exchange for better mileage, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, either. The new Nissan Rogue gets up to 37 highway miles per gallon, whereas the latest Honda CR-V only gets 34 highway MPG. Right now, it’s 1-0 in favor of the Rogue.

 

Safety Features

It’s Nissan we’re talking about, so you can easily count on the new 2025 Rogue to include Safety Shield 360 and ProPILOT Assist standard. Even so, you can upgrade your Rogue’s safety in a couple of ways:

  • ProPILOT Assist 1.1 kicks things up a notch with adaptive cruise control and steering assist to help keep you in line (literally).
  • ProPILOT Assist 2.1 delivers completely hands-free, feet-off driving in North Tampa with all of the intuitive navigational aspects of this popular system.

Honda Sensing comes standard in the latest CR-V, including features that have been the normal standard for years, like automatic braking and lane assist. Anything more will cost you extra, and your choices are limited to a blind spot information system, parking sensors, and the like. Why have a couple of party tricks up your sleeve when you can have a virtual co-pilot watching your back? That’s a 2-0 for the Nissan Rogue.

 

Interior

How do you plan on using your brand-new SUV? Whatever’s on your calendar, the 2025 Nissan Rogue has it all sorted out. Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (with available Tri Zone) keeps everyone feeling nice and cozy, be it during the middle of Tampa’s scorching hot summers or chilly winter days. A 12.3-inch touchscreen (with an available 12.3-inch driver display) is placed front and center for all of your needs in clear quality. Manage up to 72.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the available Divide-N-Hide system with a handful of useful arrangements for storage compartments. Missing anything? When it comes to the new Nissan Rogue, everything (and everyone) is accounted for.

You’ve seen one Honda, you’ve seen them all. And we’re not just saying that to exaggerate. Every new Honda has the same cookie-cutter interior layout, stripping it of uniqueness. The new CR-V may have 76.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, but good luck making use of all that real estate without a modular storage system like Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide. Technology should be in better shape, though, right? That’s where you’re wrong. You’ll have to pay up just to upgrade to a 9-inch touchscreen that doesn’t even compare to the Rogue’s 12.3-inch display. With a dull layout and a lack of useful features, we’re surprised anyone would still willingly choose the CR-V. That gives the 2025 Rogue a perfect 3-0.

 

Bottom Line

For around the same starting price (if not a little less), the new 2025 Nissan Rogue is clearly the better deal in North Tampa with a decked-out powertrain, advanced driver-assist features, and incredible technology to enhance every drive. Those who go with the CR-V tend to get tired of it after a month or two, and we can see why.
