2023 Kia Sportage vs. Nissan Rogue
Overview
When shopping for a new SUV, it can feel like your options are endless, making it difficult to decide which SUV is right for you. Perhaps you're considering the 2023 Kia Sportage or the 2023 Nissan Rogue. At first glance, these two SUVs seem pretty similar. However, take a closer look at DARCARS Kia of Frederick, and you'll see that there are differences between the two SUVs.
Performance
The Nissan Rogue comes standard with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine capable of producing 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. While the Sportage's 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine only puts out 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, you can go with a hybrid powertrain that generates 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Kia also offers a plug-in hybrid Sportage with 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
The Rogue lineup offers one engine and doesn't feature any hybrid vehicles. Also, the Sportage can tow up to 2,500 pounds! The Nissan Rogue offers impressive towing capacity as well at 1,500 pounds.
Off-road Amenities
Like the Sportage, the Rogue gives you the option of adding an all-wheel-drive system for maximum traction and stability when you venture off-road. When looking at the Sportage, you will find a high ground clearance measuring 8.3 inches. The Rogue's ground clearance impresses, too, at 8.2-inches. The Sportage lineup also offers trim levels — the X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige — with features like skid plates and specially tuned suspensions that make them better suited for going off the beaten path.
Interior Space
The Rogue's total cargo space measures 74.1 cubic feet, which is the same size as the Sportage's. For a total passenger volume of 105.4 cubic feet, the Rogue offers a pretty spacious cabin with plenty of relaxation room. The Sportage's stuns as well with a passenger volume at a whopping 108 cubic feet. Rear-seat passengers will enjoy the Sportage, too, with 41.3-inches of rear leg room.
Design
The 2023 Sportage commands attention wherever it goes, thanks to unique headlights, a distinctive grille, and bold bodywork. Inside the Sportage, you'll find a sleek, minimalist interior that feels fresh and modern. The 2023 Nissan Rogue's cabin has a modern feeling, as does the exterior.
