The RAV4’s inline-4 makes 203 hp with an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive drops it 2 mpg combined, and bumps the sticker price by $1,350. The CVT helps get the Rogue a 26 mpg city, 33 highway, 29 combined EPA rating. It’s just fine on standard 17-inch wheels, and pushing it doesn’t do many favors on turns where it leans like a sleeping commuter. The Rogue is the proletariat of the two, making 170 horsepower and paired to a relatively seamless continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). It is what it is: a capable and confident everyday crossover, without the stylish pretensions of the RAV4.īoth crossovers are powered by workaday 2.5-liter inline-4 engines. The Rogue does not go rogue, and blends into that sea, even with the distinctive V-shaped grille acting as a life jacket.

That usually means deals are more plentiful if you don’t mind the plainer, older style.

The 2020 Nissan Rogue enters what most likely will be its last production year before a full redesign. The fake skid plate on some off-roading trims suggests an off-roading capability it doesn’t really have, and the muscular posturing belies some performance it lacks. Now it gets chunky fenders, hard angles, and wide fascias that channel the 4Runner and Tacoma mid-size pickup. Prior to the 2019 redesign, the Toyota RAV4 blended into the teeming sea of compact crossovers. The aging 2020 Nissan Rogue is more modest, with a $26,395 starting price (including $1,095 destination) in base S trim and a top price of $34,135 in SL trim with all-wheel drive.

The 2020 RAV4 starts at $27,070 (including $1,120 destination) in base LE trim and has a much wider spread, with the new-for-2020 TRD Off-Road trim with standard all-wheel drive topping the range at $36,400. Redesigned for 2019, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 is fresher, edgier, and comes in seven trim levels compared to the three trims for the 2020 Nissan Rogue. 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - Best Car To Buy 2020
