Both of these vehicles are top-selling models for their respective manufacturers, thanks to their stylish designs, spacious interiors, high-tech features and affordable pricing. Drivers and families who shop the 2022 Honda CR-V and 2022 Nissan Rogue will certainly find some similarities but plenty of differences.

Let's review the latest editions of these hot-selling compact SUVs to help you decide the ideal choice for you. Stay tuned as we pit the 2022 Honda CR-V versus the 2022 Nissan Rogue in a crossover SUV showdown.

Starting Price & Overall Value

Let's compare the most affordable versions of these two compact SUVs -- the 2022 Honda CR-V LX and the 2022 Nissan Rogue S -- to see which boasts the right balance of features and value for Venice, Florida, area drivers.

The 2022 Honda CR-V LX and its $26,800 starting MSRP* grants you the full suite of Honda Sensing® driver-assistive technologies. This package of smart safety systems is now standard on every 2022 CR-V trim level. It includes Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System™ that can alert you to a potential frontal collision and even apply braking pressure to help you avoid or lessen an impact.

You won't find many compact SUVs with standard Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, but the Honda has it! Enjoy the convenience of this advanced cruise control that slows and accelerates the vehicle in line with traffic ahead, even when traffic comes to a crawl. The 2022 CR-V and its Honda Sensing® suite also include Road Departure Mitigation System and a Lane Keeping Assist System.

A 2022 Nissan Rogue S model starts at $27,150 MSRP, but the Nissan isn't quite comparable to the Honda when you start looking at what safety systems come standard. The new Rogue S only gets Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Intelligent Lane Intervention as standard. For an adaptive cruise control system and other similar driver-assist technologies like those found in the CR-V's Honda Sensing® suite, you'll need to upgrade to a pricier Rogue.

Fuel Efficiency & Performance

These compact SUVs feature similar overall dimensions, with the 2022 Honda CR-V weighing a bit less, giving it an advantage in responsiveness. The 2022 CR-V impresses with its efficient performance, thanks to its 190-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged engine! This Honda compact SUV comes in at an EPA-estimated 28 city and 34 highway mpg when equipped with standard 2WD.

The 2022 Nissan Rogue's newly standard turbocharged engine also features a displacement of 1.5-liters but relies on just three cylinders instead of the Honda's four. In front-wheel-drive spec, the 2022 Nissan Rogue returns up to an EPA-estimated 30 city and 37 highway mpg, but you might lose some performance and responsiveness to gain this fuel efficiency.

If you think the 2022 Nissan Rogue lineup has the advantage in fuel economy, consider that only one of these models is available with a hybrid powertrain, and that's the Honda! If fuel efficiency is your top priority when shopping for a new compact crossover SUV for sale around Venice, FL, you'll want to see the 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid and its Rogue-beating MPG ratings!

Cargo Capacity & Interior Space

Both the 2022 Honda CR-V and 2022 Nissan Rogue are lauded for their smart packaging that provides generous interior space for passengers and cargo alike. Still, only one of these two can come out on top!

The 2022 Honda CR-V tops Nissan's Rogue where it counts, including in the following dimensions:

  • Passenger Volume
  • Second-Row Shoulder Room
  • Front-Row Hip Room
  • Second-Row Leg Room
  • Front-Row Shoulder Room

Honda's 2022 CR-V holds a significant advantage when it comes to cargo too. Its standard cargo capacity of 39.2 cubic feet behind its second-row seats compares favorably to the Rogue's 36.5 cubic feet. When the rear seating is folded down in these two crossover SUVs, the Honda still edges out the Nissan, with 75.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume compared to 74.1 cubic feet.
