Heritage Honda Bel Air understands the somewhat-difficult process of choosing the perfect vehicle out of a sea of options. We know we may be a little biased toward the Honda lineup, which is why we support our opinions and recommendations with cold-hard facts. If you’re in the market for a compact SUV, take a look at the 2019 Honda CR-V. The compact SUV segment is crowded, but the Honda CR-V effortlessly rises above the competition, including the 2019 Nissan Rogue.
Performance
Capability is a sought-after quality when it comes to compact SUVs. While both vehicles offer a streamlined ride, you’ll get more out of your drive in the 2019 Honda CR-V. This new Honda comes equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which delivers 184 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. The Nissan Rogue struggles to keep up, as its standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder machine generates just 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. The Honda CR-V also offers an upgraded 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder powertrain worth 190 horsepower. The Nissan Rogue only offers one powertrain option across all trims.
Versatility
When it comes to interior versatility, the 2019 Honda CR-V effortlessly takes home the gold. While both models feature a split-folding second row, the Honda CR-V offers a larger space with it engaged—75.8 cubic feet of cargo space. In the same configuration, the Nissan Rogue renders just 70 cubic feet. Furthermore, the Honda CR-V boasts an available power-folding second-row function, whereas the Nissan Rogue does not. To boot, the CR-V comes standard with a locking glovebox. Again, the Nissan Rogue fails to provide such a feature.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for what the Honda CR-V has to offer—and how it beats out the competition. You can see and experience it today here at our Honda dealership serving Aberdeen, MD. We look forward to your visit!
