The CR-V is the stronger overall vehicle with better reliability, more cargo space, and a more refined powertrain. The Rogue counters with a lower used price and a comfortable, well-featured cabin. For Tampa families who plan to keep their SUV for many years, the CR-V is the smarter investment. If you want a pleasant compact SUV at a friendlier price, the Rogue delivers solid value.
The CR-V offers more cargo space at 39.2 cu ft vs 36.5 cu ft for the Rogue. Passenger space is similar, but the CR-V's lower cargo floor makes it easier to load groceries, strollers, and beach gear.
The CR-V generally has lower long-term maintenance costs. Some older Rogue models experienced CVT transmission issues, though Nissan has improved this in recent years. Honda's powertrain reliability gives the CR-V an edge.
