2025 Nissan Rogue vs. Toyota RAV4: Why the Rogue is Your Best Choice at Palm Springs Nissan

Looking for a stylish and efficient compact SUV in Palm Springs, Cathedral City, or the Coachella Valley? Check out the 2025 Nissan Rogue and the 2025 Toyota RAV4. Both are great options with modern features and good reputations. However, for the best mix of performance, technology, and comfort, the Rogue tends to come out on top. Here’s why the 2025 Nissan Rogue should be your next SUV, available now at Palm Springs Nissan.

Performance and Efficiency: Turbocharged Power Meets Smart Engineering

The 2025 Nissan Rogue features a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder engine. It offers 201 HP and 225 lb.-ft. of torque. This new variable compression turbo technology boosts power and fuel efficiency based on how you drive. The Rogue features a smooth Xtronic CVT transmission. This combination gives you a refined and responsive drive, whether you’re in the city or on the highway.

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. It produces 203 HP but only 184 lb.-ft. of torque. While the RAV4’s power is respectable, it lacks the Rogue’s turbocharged torque punch, resulting in less spirited acceleration.

The Rogue beats the RAV4 in fuel economy. It gets up to 30 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. In comparison, the RAV4 offers 27 MPG city and 35 MPG highway. Drivers in Palm Springs and Cathedral City who want power and efficiency should choose the Rogue.

Spacious Interior and Cargo Versatility

Both SUVs seat five passengers easily. The Rogue has a bit more space and smart cargo options. The Rogue provides up to 74.1 cu ft. of cargo volume with the rear seats folded, compared to the RAV4’s 69.8 cu ft.

The Rogue also offers plenty of interior space. It has 41.1 inches of front headroom and 41.5 inches of front legroom. This makes for a comfortable ride for both the driver and the passengers.

Advanced Safety and Technology Features

The 2025 Nissan Rogue includes Nissan Safety Shield® 360. This package has six advanced driver-assist features. These include automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning. The Rogue also has an available 360-degree camera system. This feature improves visibility when parking or navigating tight spots.

The Toyota RAV4 has Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 and offers many similar safety features to the Rogue. However, it does not include the Rogue’s standard 360-degree monitor. The Rogue’s infotainment system features a clear 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It also offers a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. This setup helps you stay connected easily on every drive.

Stylish Design and Comfort

The Nissan Rogue features 19-inch wheels and LED lighting. These details enhance its sleek design, creating a modern, upscale appearance. Inside, premium materials make a big difference. Heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic moonroof, and tri-zone climate control on higher trims improve your drive.
