2024 Subaru Forester vs 2024 Nissan Rogue

The 2024 Subaru Forester Vs. The 2024 Nissan Rogue

Adventuring off the original path always gets our adrenaline pumping, and we're certain you feel the same way. However, owning a vehicle that's built for off-roading can be expensive, but that's where the 2024 Subaru Forester comes in. This compact crossover is not only capable of taking on harsher terrain, it's also an affordable family-hauling expert. Compared to other vehicles in the competitive SUV market - like the 2024 Nissan Rogue - the Forester continues to impress.

Affordable Trims Available

What really makes the Subaru Forester stand out is its commitment to an affordable price, while also granting Bethlehem, PA drivers a variety of models to choose from. There are six different trims to choose from, starting with an MSRP of $28,440 and only going up to $38,490. Luxury features like a panoramic sunroof, reclining rear seatbacks, and the onboard Wi-Fi hotspot come standard on lower-level models, and the luxuries increase from there. Models like the Subaru Forester Wilderness help you embrace your wild side, exploring off the beaten path.

Vehicles like the 2024 Nissan Rogue still come at an affordable price, but they don't have as many options as the Forester does. With four trims available, the Nissan Rogue starts - and ends - at a higher MSRP than the Forest. It's still a great price, but beating the Subaru Forester is a tall task.

Engine and Performance

The same 2.5-liter flat-four-cylinder engine is under every Subaru Forester hood. In every model, this engine generates 182 horsepower and has a maximum tow rating of 1,500 pounds. The classic all-wheel-drive system that's in every Subaru is powered by a continuously variable automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive comes in handy when you're on rough terrain or in slippery weather, and so does the premium handling. The steering wheel delivers feedback to the driver at a solid pace, and every drive will feel comfortable with the tuned suspension.

Compact crossovers usually carry one engine option, and that's what the Nissan Rogue offers, too. This SUV continues its tradition of using a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder that makes 201 horsepower. The same, comfortable ride found in the Subaru Forester is felt here, but there's no 1,500 towing capacity. If you're looking to haul a small trailer with you on a weekend vacation, that's a Subaru Forester specialty.

Interior Design

There's nothing challenging about the 2024 Subaru Forester interior. Every button, knob, and all your needed driver information is always easy to maneuver and find. Models like the Forester Touring are equipped with leather seats, textured trims, and other high-quality materials. Even as a compact crossover, there's more than enough room for adults in the second row, making long road trips with friends and family more manageable. The interior cargo storage is outstanding, too.

Similar luxury and comfort are found in the Nissan Vogue. The interior features spacious storage cubbies, ergonomic controls, and a modern aesthetic that's becoming more popular. One difference between the two vehicles is the amount of cargo space and legroom. You won't find the same space that the Subaru Forester has in this compact crossover, but it's still extremely generous.

Technology & Safety

Both SUVs are available with a touchscreen infotainment system that provides Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities. While both vehicles have multiple USB ports and digital gauge clusters, the Subaru Forester is equipped with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

Safety features like lane-departure warnings, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking are standard in the Subaru Forester and Nissan Rogue, but the Forester always comes with adaptive cruise control, a feature that's only available on the Nissan Rogue.
