Compact SUV Face-Off: Subaru Crosstrek vs. Nissan Rogue Sport
These two models stand out from the crowd, but only one is head and shoulders above them all
The Subaru Crosstrek and Nissan Rogue Sport are both very frequently searched on ConsumerReports.org. This is due in large part to how well they have performed in CR’s tests, but it’s also because they have unique enough styling to stand out from a collection of carbon-copy compact SUVs.
If you’re in the market for an SUV that can handle the day-to-day grind of short trips or commuting, as well as going from the city or suburbs to outdoor adventures, these two are vehicles to consider. Both of these models skew toward the more substantial and mature end of the subcompact SUV class. But it’s not always easy to determine the better vehicle after a short test drive. That’s why CR’s auto experts are here to help.
