2021 Mazda CX-5 vs. 2021 Nissan Rogue in Rochester, MN
Why choose the 2021 Mazda CX-5?
If you've narrowed down your SUV options to just the Mazda CX-5 and the Nissan Rogue, then you may need some more guidance in making your final decision. For those looking for a little more information on how these two appealing vehicles compare, you've come to the right place.
Under the Hood
No matter which of these SUVs you choose, you'll find them well-equipped for daily use. The CX-5 and the Rogue both have a 2.5-liter engine under the hood, but the Skyactiv-G version found in the CX-5 will get you slightly more horsepower and torque than the Rogue delivers. Another difference between these two vehicles is the transmission. You get a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode paired with the CX-5's engine, while the Rogue offers a continuously variable transmission to take you through the gears.
In the Cabin
Whether you're commuting to work or heading off on an adventure, you'll love the spacious, comfortable interior provided by both of these rides. In the CX-9, you get more than 103 cubic feet of passenger volume that ensures your passengers can spread out. The Rogue offers over 100 cubic feet of space for passengers and an impressive cargo capacity. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter are standard in the CX-9 trims, but you have to upgrade to get this feature in the Rogue. Both models have a manual six-way adjustable driver's seat with cloth seat trim and the option to add a heating function to the front seats. Both cars are excellent picks, but for those looking for a bit more power and space, the Mazda CX-9 inches ahead.
