TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Nissan Rogue may not have excitement in its corner, but its layout, features, and affordability make a lot of sense for smaller families.

The 2013 Toyota RAV4 excels at mass-market talents like gas mileage and interior room--but for turbocharged fun in a crossover, you'll have to look elsewhere.

TCC Likes

Spacious, well-designed interior
Urban-sized, and handles like it
Cargo versatility

Crisp new shape
Automatic has six speeds
Standard rearview camera and Bluetooth

TCC Dislikes

Short, flat seats
Lacks driving excitement
CVT's delayed response

V-6 doesn't return
Neither does third-row seat
Straight-line performance is just okay
