Interior Comparison

The 2024 Toyota RAV4 and the 2024 Nissan Rogue can seat up to five adults. These two compact crossovers have two rows of seats, similarly-sized passenger cabins, and 37 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Moreover, you can split-fold the rear seats in either vehicle for enhanced cargo capacity. Usefully, the 2024 RAV4 provides a near-flat floor. This ensures that large and long objects aren't jostled about and subjected to potential damage. Hence, you can easily bring home that new flat-screen TV without worries in a 2024 RAV4.

The 2024 Nissan Rogue’s cabin may have a more interesting look with its shapes and leather-trimmed dashboard on higher trims. But the 2024 RAV4's cabin feels sturdy. It's got that inimitable Toyota build quality, and it ensures longevity. Plus, you'll still find soft-touch surfaces, two-tone color themes, and leather seats on the higher trims of the 2024 RAV4.

The 2024 RAV4 also wins in terms of ergonomics. Drivers can easily access the buttons and knobs without having to take their eyes off the road. Even the front cup holders are placed side by side, enhancing ease of access. Conversely, the 2024 Rogue places the front cup holders ahead of each other, next to the gear shifter. Hence, the driver must reach beyond this to access their cup holder. This can become a major inconvenience over time, so the 2024 RAV4 is more suited as a long-term family hauler.

You’ll get Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus Bluetooth® hands-free and audio streaming in every trim of both vehicles. Venturing up the trim ladder brings dual-zone climate control, wireless phone chargers, heated front seats, and digital instrument clusters.

Performance Comparison

Buyers of the 2024 RAV4 can choose from three engines. Most variants have a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder unit with 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed automatic gearbox is standard, with paddle shifters on some trims. Front-wheel drive is also common for most trims, but it can be optioned with a basic all-wheel drive system.

However, trims such as Adventure, TRD-Off Road, and Limited include an advanced all-wheel-drive system as standard. The system comes with dynamic torque vectoring. It monitors traction in real time and redirects torque to the wheels with the best grip. Hence, it improves performance off-road or in slippery conditions. Furthermore, the system can also totally disconnect the rear wheels. This is useful for on-road driving and improves fuel economy.

Toyota also offers two hybrids for those who want the best fuel economy without sacrificing performance. Both hybrids use a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a CVT gearbox. Hybrid variants are all-wheel drive by default. The regular hybrid makes 219 horsepower. Opting for the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid adds a third electric motor for a system total of 302 horsepower. This offers an impressive 0-60 time of less than 6 seconds, quicker than the majority of the segment's contenders.

Meanwhile, the 2024 Rogue has a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine from Nissan's VC-Turbo family. The engine can produce 201 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque. It uses a CVT gearbox to drive the front wheels, and all-wheel drive is available as well.

Safety Features Comparison

Every 2024 RAV4 includes Toyota’s Safety Sense™ 2.5 suite. Buyers can find features such as full-speed radar-guided cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning. Lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist are also standard. Higher trims come with rear cross-traffic alerts and blind-spot monitoring, too. Meanwhile, the 2024 Rogue also has some of these features.
