Performance

Enjoying your drive is an important part of ownership. The 2026 Nissan Rogue has a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that makes up to 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. You can choose between front- and all-wheel drive to stay surefooted through tough conditions and slippery terrain.

The 2027 Honda CR-V has a weaker engine, only offering 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. Having less oomph means slower merging onto highways and pulling away from stops. The new Honda CR-V also offers front- and all-wheel drive.

Technology

Both screen options include wireless smartphone connectivity to declutter the cabin without settling for media you don't enjoy. You'll find six speakers as standard, and up to 10 with a BOSE® Premium Sound System for a more concert-like experience during your drive.

There's only one touchscreen system in the 2027 Honda CR-V. The 9.0-inch screen comes standard on each trim. It is a slightly larger screen than the base Rogue, but it is significantly smaller than the largest available. You'll also find fewer speakers in the 2027 CR-V. with four, six, or eight available through the lineup.

Fuel Efficiency

Choosing the 2026 Nissan Rogue will provide up to 32 MPG combined for front-wheel drive trims, 31 MPG for all-wheel drive, and 29 MPG for the Rogue Rock Creek. Each system ensures you can handle difficult conditions without stopping for gas as often as some competitors do on road trips.

Anyone who chooses the 2027 CR-V will get worse fuel efficiency. The CR-V has 30 MPG with front-wheel drive and 29 MPG with all-wheel drive. While all-wheel drive CR-V models can match the efficiency of a Rogue Rock Creek, the Nissan model is tailored for off-roading, expanding its capabilities beyond those of the CR-V.

Safety

Keeping you, your travelers, and those around you is an important part of driving. The 2026 Nissan Rogue includes Blind-spot Warning and a Driver Attention Alert, among many other systems that help you handle busy highways and parking lots.

The new Honda does not include a standard Blind-spot Warning or a Driver Attention Alert system, making it fall behind what you'll find in the new Nissan. You can find many benefits of choosing a new Nissan for sale near Fargo, ND when you visit our dealership for a test drive.
