QUIETNESS

Because of features like acoustic glass in the windshield and front door windows, strategically placed door seals, and isolation material throughout the cabin, Rogue provides a quiet, calm experience that makes it easy to talk with passengers and hear your music. You’ll see how quiet it is on the road, too, once we start driving.

Key Rogue Features

• Acoustic glass for windshield (all grades) and front door windows (SV and above)
• Door seals
• Isolation material throughout the cabin (doors, headliner, pillar trim, cargo floor)

Compare Rogue and RAV4

Rogue:

• Absence of surrounding noise from traffic, other people, construction, etc.
• Absence of road noise and engine noise
• Engine noise sounds far away/quiet, and the sounds that are heard are pleasing and powerful
• Wind noise that can be heard is a gentle sound over the entire body, with no localized noise source

RAV4:

• RAV4 does not have acoustic front door
• Noticeable road and engine noise even at low speed on good roads
• Loud engine noise during acceleration, which can contribute to driver stress under higher-demand acceleration scenarios
• Road and engine noise while cruising

ACCELERATION

If you need a burst of speed while driving in the city, Rogue’s 181-hp engine and Xtronic CVT with D-step tuning give you responsive acceleration and a quick, smooth shift.

Key Rogue Features

• 181-hp engine with 181 lb-ft of torque
• Xtronic CVT® with D-step tuning

Compare Rogue and RAV4

Rogue:

• Response always well-matched to demand
• Small pedal input yields gentle acceleration
• Large pedal input yields immediate, crisp downshift and strong acceleration

ROUGH ROAD

When driving at 40 mph on a typical city road with patches, cracks, potholes, etc. Rogue is nice and smooth on the road. It has Active Ride Control, which applies brake pressure momentarily to cancel the bounce motion caused by large road surface bumps. So you get improved body control without sacrificing ride comfort. RAV4 doesn’t have this feature.

Key Rogue Features

• Structural rigidity
• Double-piston shock absorbers
• Active Ride Control (ARC)

Compare Rogue and RAV4

Rogue:

• Absence of noise and vibration when encountering patches or potholes

RAV4:
