New 2023 Honda CR-V A Better Choice Over Nissan Rogue? SUV Comparison.

[@diegovn]

I have a Nissan Rogue with 26k miles and I am still in love with it. Good on gas, powerful enough, comfy...just amazing for my taste.

I drove both and the rogue is just a more complete package!

We road tested both the Honda HRV and Toyota Cross. My mother was also there and she couldn't believe how LOUD the engine drone noise was during acceleration. Their prices were also too over marked. Already signed and sealed for the Rogue. All we're waiting for is delivered.

[@richardturner7185]

I rented the rogue this weekend while out of town. I was really impressed with the overall performance & comfort. I put over a thousand miles on it in 2 days. The 3 cylinder turbo never struggled to get to speed. I didn’t know it was a 3 until I did some research. It felt like a much larger displacement engine. The fit, finish, comfort & ride was very good. The think I was impressed with most was the gas mileage. I averaged 33 while cruising at 85-90mph. In city it got even better fuel mileage with peaks of 39. I could definitely see this as a daily driver.

CRV over Rogue. End of the day Honda has better known reliability and resale. If Nissan could get rid of their garbage Jatco transmissions it would be a step in the right direction. Aside from resale and reliability, CRV has better exterior styling and I slightly prefer the Nissans interior over CRV. But end of the day CRV overall, just more pros than cons. I’ve driven a rogue and they just feel under powered as well compared to a Honda. A family member of mine has had multiple Altimas since 06 and they have all had multiple problems with different things by the end of a 3yr lease with all of them and have terrible resale value

[@chrisholmes344]

Sam, Great comparison video as always. Two formidable contenders in a very competitive segment. I like what Nissan has done with the 2022 Rogue, options, fit and finish, style and overall package. It's spot on for most busy families, as they have price points and trims to make it doable on all budgets. As for the CR-V, well it does everything pretty much bang on and has since 1997 when it first launched. I don't know of one owner that didn't love their CR-V other than maybe engine output with the first gen series. With that said; I feel the available options on the Rogue (Panaroof, heads up display) make it feel like a more luxurious delivery than the CR-V. Trim level for trim level it feels more upscale. As for price? Well the CR-V just keep climbing up and up to where it's priced itself out of some people compact SUV budget, but then again the resale is and always has been top notch - so perhaps that $7,000 premium over the Rogue (Initially) might not be $7,000 in the end? Nevertheless, great video, great camera shots of stills and rolling content. Keep up the great work! Chris

[@fhm1006]

Nice comparison, I'm from Saudi Arabia, The Nissan rogue's name in our market is X-trail, I'm not quite sure if Honda already launched this new generation of CRV in our markets. To be honest I still haven't noticed any in the streets. Nevertheless, I was confused between the X-trail and some other competitors in the market like RV4, CX5, and Hyundai Tucson. I ended up buying the X-trail because for me it was the best overall when it comes to features, performance, space, and driving experience, apart from the front design which I'm not a big fan of, just like you I think that Nissan did a great job with this new X-trail (Rouge) I'm sure that the front will grow on me, I hope so😅 back to your comparison, Nissan rogue for me is the winner by miles hands down, and I'm not biased at all, I used to fan of Honda but I think that they have been improving slowly in the recent years and they still need a lot of work in order to catch up with the other competitors.

[@ebadurrahman8523]

By no mean, Nissan and Mitsubishi is comparable with Honda and Toyota. If you are just fan of features, then CRV is a big no. But you have to also consider where they will stand after 6-7 years and how much I can sell them for. Nissan most probably ranks below Ford in terms of resale value. Just two cents.

[@joebrown9621]

In terms of Brand image Yes Honda is ahead of Nissan .. in terms of quality and value for money i wouldn't put Honda in the same sentence as Toyota and certainly not above Nissan at this point.. the pre 2017 CRV are just bullet proof this newer ones i wouldn't pay the extra money for less.. rear camber issues that plagued the out going gen drivers i know can't keep rear tires on just wears excessively and Honda didn't have a fix along with other concerns coupled with a loud cabin.. no thanks u ..

[@snipermk1]

We were in the market for a new compact suv. Test drove the new Nissan Rogue platinum, and then we test drove the 2024 CRV Touring Hybrid. Our findings were that Nissan Rouge had more bells and whistles. We found Rouge to be more roomier. It was also $7k less than CRV. Rogue had a heads-up display, a 360-degree camera, almost full ceiling moon roof. CRV was lacking all that. Just to name a few. The decision was easy. We went for the Rogue. I'm picking up my new Rogue tomorrow.

[@MrAsh-cw5cq]

The crv is a much better SUV however I wish they will put fog lights

[@maxtaotao]

Hi, Sam, great video. The comparison between CRV hybrid vs Rouge is a little bit off. Actually, I bought Rouge SV in March, and just purchase a CRV EX last month. I can say that I like the Rouge way better, and it is cheaper. Here are some comparisons from mine. 1) Engine: CRV engine is the same as last verion and is less power than Rouge's new engine. I can feel that very obvious at freeway speed above 70 mph; 2) Infotainment display: CRV is 7 in, while Rouge is 9 in. CRV driver display is a weird combination of half LCD and a meter; 3) Suepension: CRV is more comfortable; 4) I feel Rouge is bigger in space; CRV reduce the headroom by 2 in compared to the previous version. People always saying CRV is longer and wider, but not mentioning shorter. Overall, I feel Rouge worth the money.

[@Flying-Fox19]

Thanks for your info but why does anyone ever need two SUVs which are gas guzzlers. Someone with family should have a small car and SUV. Use small car for groceries or do some errands in city.

[@maxtaotao]

@@Flying-Fox19 Both my wife and I have to commute long to work unfortunately, and we have two kids. SUVs are safer and comfortable, they are the last protection in such crazy LA traffic. I bought Rouge early 2022 to trade in my 190k miles old sedan, just bought CRV because our minivan has been reared end by a Tesla to total loss. I drove 25000 miles per year, and my company provide free charging. I was thinking buying EV, but SUV EVs are super expensive. Tesla Y is my dream car, but I cannot afford it, because I have to drove more than 150k miles to balance the higher cost, let alone the higher insurance and the tire cost. Dealers add a lot of mark up to hybrid models, and I also need to drove at least 100k miles to compensate the cost. I don't think EV and hydrid worth the money I pay extra. My next car will be an EV in 4-5 years. Right now I am OK to suffer from visiting gas station twice a week and high gas price. Overall, we are happy to drive our Rouge and CRV,

[@azzdesigner]

I bought the CRV EXL back in October, i drove it for 3.5k mile already. 1) the 1.5T is just enough, other than the slow acceleration, i don't have any problem getting above 70mph. (if i wait 2 more month, i would have get the Touring) 2) EXL has 9inch display so i don't have any complain. 3) CRV is very smooth and more quiet than the last gen 4) CRV is more roomy than Rouge and rear seats are more comfortable. Other than the few thousand dollar difference, i think CRV is better than the Rouge. Eventually it will make up from the repair bill. My old car was a 2007 Nissan Altima, after those bad experience, i will never go back to Nissan

[@maxtaotao]

@@azzdesigner I agree with you that CRV is definitely more smooth and comfortable than Rouge. But I don't like Honda reduce the headroom to front/back 38.2/38.2 from the previous generation (front/back 40.1/39.2), which is the same as the Rouge. Honda says this new CRV is more sedan like. I like to drive sitting high, so the old CRV and Rouge fit better for me. Overall, I have both, and will find out which one break first.

The 2021 Rogue Platinum is a winner. No issues as of 40K miles on it. Power is fine, premium feel, and the heads up display sealed the deal. Best bang for the buck hands down. Go and test drive one. The new CVT is fine

[@taranrandhawa5638]

I work at a Honda dealership. Sold 200 total cars this year, we get lots of trade ins, good and bad. For a Nissan Rogue to pass our safety inspection, it has to be 2018 or up model, if it’s older than that, it always fails our safety. We also have cars that are excellent condition even at 2010( it always happens to be a Honda or Toyota) I’m always scared of selling OFF MAKE brands like Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, VW, I want to build a good clientele and get referrals business and if I sell those brands, I’m not getting any business back. Out of all the Hondas I have sold, only one car had some issues, that was a 2021 Passport touring, my customer had to come back to the dealership 3 times because the screen would go off on him and the wireless charging would not work. Never had anyone come back with a new or pre owned crv.

[@Gopinathk17]

Are you guys still selling with markups? Few months back when I visited Honda dealer he said atleast 3-6k markup on all cars. I feel Rogue, Tucson and Sportage are actually very good cars. Their brand value might be less but they have good sales after RAV4 and CRV in this segment. Hyundai and Kia give 10 year warranty on the power train. Also, 2022 Rogue got higher safety ratings compared to CRV as per IIHS safety picks, check their site. Also, Tucson and Sportage are on their top 5 best small SUVs as per Edmunds rankings.

[@taranrandhawa5638]

@@Gopinathk17 We never did mark ups for more than $500 which is all weather mats and trunk they. The Koreans have some a long way, the only thing they can give is 10 years warranty, which is 100,000 . Unfortunately, the cars die after that, they don’t invest in good engines and transmission for reliability. Rogue was redesigned in 2022, that why it has a higher safety rating, now in 2023 cr-will pass with flying colours in iihs No matter how the car looks in videos, test drive is crucially important, it makes such a difference and that’s the reason Honda and Toyota fall in tier one of car sales.

The new Nissan three cylinder engine in the Rogue is experiencing major issues. I work at a Nissan dealership and we’ve replaced a few long blocks on them due to cracking. Out of the close to 30 employees at my service department (Advisors and techs), only 6-7 drive Nissans. And they are mostly 90s Nissans when they were reliable. There’s a reason I chose to work at Nissan but drive a Honda. Because the month-end bonus at Nissan is way higher compared to Honda. Replacing transmissions gross way higher than spark plugs and air filters, even if it’s warranty jobs. We easily have 20+ transmissions in the storage area right now. Some waiting to go back to Nissan, some waiting to go into cars.

This will be her vehicle until its reaches the end of its life and more things to break down or maintain in 10 years plus is no good. Found new hondas on average to be more reliable than nissan from various reviews, CReports and online feedback from reddit and I wanted my mother to be as worry free as possible so that was a big deciding factor. We find new tech features to be gimmicky as its not essential to operate and just adds too many options which isn't always good. In our case for her needs, the new CR-V was well worth the price for peace of mind and simplicity. Prefer the look of it also in the white option with dark accents.

[@paul38501]

Thanks for the good comparison. But how about the cost of ownership specifically the cost of gas. Will the hybrid make up the price difference with better gas mileage? Lots of variables to consider but it is worth mentioning the value of the hybrid engine in this respect. Thanks Sam.

[@occckid123]

Well when it's 7k more that's alot of gas and if you're on the highway they pretty much get the same gas mileage with the crv being better in the city but if you're in the city only that means you don't drive much so the savings per year is small.

[@joebrown9621]

Based on what i have heard and seen on reviews i don't know for fact.. this new rogue sipps fuel knocking on hybrid territory so the delta for the hybrid payback is going to be alot longer if not virtually impossible when comparing the two.. the out going rogue i know for a fact did get decent fuel efficiency

@Joe Brown thanks Joe. I agree with your conclusions. The rogue seems like a very good option.

[@tyronejohn6291]

I agree the price is to high inside they took away side pocket space inside ridiculous and no phone charge in the back that should be standard on all trims, if it claims to be a family hauler the old model is better.... i think the CRV went backwards. 🙄

Hi Sam. Nice review. Can you make review with 2 car seat installed. Also review what kind of latches both cars has? Will it fit 3 people in rear, can it fit full size stroller in trunk. Thank you in advance

[@SamCarLegion]

Will do

[@sk-un5jq]

Hopefully they bring the hybrid next year to N. America. The X-Trail Hybrid drives like an EV and it has great reviews from Europe and Australia. I think the 3 cylinder was really designed as part of a hybrid system.

Rented the rogue and the suv is really nice, comfy, quick handling. It looks great and you can’t tell it’s a cvt transmission.

[@chrisparish4668]

Nice. 👍 video.

[@amcamera3221]

I totally agree with this review. I am a fan of CRVs ( I have had the opportunity to own two of them) and when I went to the dealership to buy a 2023 CRV of the new generation, I left there really disappointed, then I decided to give the Nissan Rogue a chance, when I finally saw it, I was amazed., and I am very sorry to say it, but the comfort and luxury is superior to the Honda CRV, Honda has been regulating the features and increasing the price, The final result is more than evident, especially when you compare the complete package.

[@user-ye1wn3uj7e]

I’d choose the CRV any day.

[@raedkhmous1292]

[@Domane-mh8wg]

I own a Rogue and love the variable compression turbo engine but when the I bought it in 2022 the 2023 CRV wasn't offered yet. I love my Rogue but it has been recalled for a few issues already. Also I wish they offered a hybrid version like the CRV. I would choose the new CRV over the Rogue if I had to buy today.

[@kingsleyagyemang7417]

That's is a fair choice to a reasonable perceptive

[@etothej]

I’m looking at both, but can’t afford the top trims. Looking at Rogue SV Premium and CRV EXL. I like the Rogue. My only concerns are the front seat space being a little tight. (I’m fat and 6’ tall) and the small info screen. Worried these things will start to really bug me over time. Concerns with the CRV is mostly the price. I can lease the Rogue for quite a bit less.

i have the rogue platinum and it has been a sweet daily. also here in Canada the base is AWD there no front wheel drive like the base Crv offers.

[@ChrisRobato]

Why didn't you compare the Rogue with the base CR-V with the 1.5 turbo instead, as that would be more similar in price and power? The hybrid CR-V is more comparable to the X-Trail E-power which isn't available in Canada.

[@SamCarLegion]

Picked highest trims for both

[@Rotuma1260]

According to Consumer Reports, the CRV hybrid has better acceleration and better fuel mileage. The Rogue's acceleration of 9.1 seconds from 0 - 60 mph is anemic. If you need to accelerate fast into busy highway traffic, ever little bit helps.

[@zeecy1000]

I think you are talking about the 2021 model which looks exactly the same as the 2022. 2022 has the new VC Turbo engine. I was surprised by the power when I tested drive the Rogue, and I chose Rogue ended up. Acceleration is pretty much same as my Honda civic. Likely around 7.4-7.8 sec.

[@jasonfranck1126]

I go for honda more quality!

[@jmarxful]

I was very close to getting a rogue this year. The thing that changed my opinion was the cvt and the brewing class action lawsuit connected to the rogue and gas smell coming into the cabin. I ended up going with a Tiguan SEL R line. Got over 14% off MSRP as well which made the decision even easier.

[@Gopinathk17]

No such gas smell in the cabin.

[@tr1bes]

Both brands are good but it comes on the factor of fixing the vehicle and longevity of it. I drove my Toyota Camry for 16 years and I got wreak by a SUV. It could have driven more. My wife 2015 Honda Odyssey got no problem since. I did have a Nissan Sentra and Mazda 626 and both are junk. I fix more on Nissan and Mazda than Toyota and Honda. That should say much about reliability.

To be honest, at least for the US a top end rogue doesn’t have much more features than a top trim CR-V but it actually costs 2000 more, I would say it’s worth sacrificing a couple fancy toys for better resale and reliability. In ten years the Honda will be worth a lot more than the Nissan.
