Here at Thomas Nissan of Joliet, we have picked out the ideal compact crossover SUV for those in the market for one: the 2017 Rogue. From the outside in, this vehicle is adorned with an assortment of must-have amenities. To put it to the test, we pitted it against one of its top competitors in our comparison of the 2017 Nissan Rogue vs 2017 Honda CR-V. See how the Rogue effortlessly comes out on top!

In this first section of our duel, we’ll see how these vehicles compare in terms of exterior amenities. As optional in all trims, including the base, the Nissan Rogue integrates a heating function in its exterior mirrors to prevent ice, snow, and the like from blocking your view. What’s more, these mirrors also feature LED turn signal indicators. The Honda CR-V only offers both of these features in its top trims. For long road trips or weekend adventures, you can equip the Rogue with optional roof rails¹ to hold more of your items. Once again, the CR-V only outfits these in its higher models, and not all like the Nissan Rogue.

To support your varying needs, the Rogue proves to be the more accommodating crossover SUV in this battle. Thanks to its available under-floor storage compartment in the cargo area, you’ll have no problem keeping certain items concealed. If you’re in the Honda CR-V, you’ll have just a cargo area cover at your disposal. However, it is only available in top trim levels. Likewise, the 2017 Rogue comes standard with the Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System¹. This feature boasts a set of shelves and dividers to conform your cargo area to your needs. The Honda CR-V doesn't offer a comparable system in any of its models. 

When it comes to interior comfort, you won’t find yourself short on anything in the Rogue. But, you may feel limited in the Honda CR-V. Perfect for the ever-changing weather we experience here in the Midwest, the optional Remote Engine Start System² is the perfect amenity to have on your side. Before you get in the cabin, you can utilize this feature to warm it up or cool it down. On a similar note, the Rogue also boasts an available heated steering wheel in select trims – yet another feature that you won’t find at all in the CR-V. And, to round out this comparison, we see that the Nissan Rogue goes the extra mile by offering an available third row to increase your seating to seven; the CR-V taps out at just a 5-passenger configuration.

With our battle between the 2017 Nissan Rogue vs 2017 Honda CR-V near Romeoville, IL, it’s easy to deem the Rogue the winner! Here at Thomas Nissan of Joliet, you can take the wheel of this compact crossover SUV as soon as today.
