2020 Nissan Rogue Sport vs. Its Competition

The Car Connection The Car Connection

The Nissan Rogue Sport squares off well against the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.

Those two have a dressier feel, but they can be more expensive—especially in turbocharged Sportage guise.

The Subaru Crosstrek sits passengers lower to the ground and yet is more capable on slippery terrain thanks to generous ground clearance and standard all-wheel drive.

The Mazda CX-3 is sporty, at least for a small crossover SUV, and has a classy feel inside for the money.

Value-oriented buyers might look at the Chevy Trax, but it’s light on safety gear.
