The Nissan Rogue Sport competes at the lower or entry-level end of the small crossover utility market.
The newest entry among them is the Jeep Compass, which sits between its smaller Renegade and larger Cherokee.
The Compass offers more off-road capability than the new Nissan.
The Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage share underpinnings but have distinct styling; they offer top-notch interiors and value for money.
The Mazda CX-3 is the smallest of the competitors Nissan expects to face; it’s fun to drive but it’s really more of a hatchback with all-wheel drive than a real utility vehicle.
Finally, the Honda HR-V is the cross-trainer of the bunch, with unparalleled interior room and flexibility due to its folding and removable Magic Seat.
The Nissan may be viewed by many buyers as more stylish and perhaps more enjoyable to drive.
