Performance

Getting from point A to point B in a timely manner is of the utmost importance when selecting a vehicle to add to your driving arsenal. The Tucson is prepared to please, as it provides two engine options, which outdoes the Rogue’s single choice across the board. For the Hyundai, the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine releases 161 horsepower and 150 lb.-ft. of torque to instill some much-needed giddy-up into your trips. You can also take it to the next level when you opt for the 2.4L 4-cylinder system that sings to the tune of 181 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. On the other hand, when you take home the Nissan, you will have to settle for a 2.5L 4-cylinder selection that offers 170 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. 

Dimensions

With performance out of the way, let’s take a look at the dimensions of each ride to determine which option gives you the most comfort. The Nissan Rogue provides 57.1 inches of shoulder room up front, so you will be able to move around the cabin without feeling restricted. As for the Rogue, you might feel a bit claustrophobic, because it only provides you with 56.6 inches for the same dimension. And, the Tucson gives you 55.6 and 54.5 inches of hiproom for the first and second rows respectively, so you can fit passengers of all sizes and allow them to maintain their own personal space. If you choose the Nissan Rogue, you will have to squeeze into the 54.0 inches of front hiproom, while your second-row passengers settle for 52.1 inches. 

Technology

If you are looking to add a compact SUV to your automotive lineup, then you probably require safety advancements to keep your family protected. The 2020 Tucson wastes no time proving its worth, thanks to updates like Driver Attention Warning¹, which will deliver visual and audible alerts when it detects exhausted driving patterns that could potentially put you in danger. Unfortunately, this is a feature you simply will not find on the Rogue. If you are looking to stay entertained, the Tucson is prepared to please, because it boasts an available Infinity® 8-speaker sound system with Clari-Fi™ Music Restoration Technology that will immerse you in concert-like treble when you turn up the volume.  And, with Blue Link® Connected Car System, the Tucson gives you the opportunity to access its diagnostics from your smartphone. When you opt for the Rogue, you won’t be able to access either of these proprietary systems.
