Nissan's 2020 Rogue Goes Up Against The 2020 Nissan Murano

While the 2020 Nissan Rogue and 2020 Nissan Murano compete in separate segments, they both offer impressive interior space, cargo volume and standard and available features. The compact Rogue is big on cargo capacity, offering 39.3 cubic feet behind its second row and up to a maximum of 70 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. In fact, the Rogue boasts greater cargo capacity than its stablemate, the Murano!

The 2020 Rogue may offer a bit more space for cargo, but the mid-size Murano grants all five passengers more seating area, as the Murano's total passenger volume is greater than the Rogue's. The Murano's longer wheelbase and wider track translate to more room for passengers, which could mean even more comfort for longer journeys.

On the performance and efficiency fronts, these two Nissan SUVs differ, with the compact Rogue offering a 170-hp inline 4-cylinder engine that returns up to 33 mpg in highway driving. The more powerful 2020 Murano gets a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine that boasts up to an EPA-estimated 28 mpg highway rating. With its 260 hp, the new Murano is the more capable performer when it comes to brisk acceleration and hauling or towing.

Nissan's 2020 Rogue is the more affordable option and is a smart choice for drivers and families who prioritize price, cargo capacity and fuel efficiency. The more upscale 2020 Murano is always there for motorists seeking enhanced power and performance, matched with more available luxury touches.
