Compare the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek to the 2017 Nissan Rogue With Research from Mike Shaw Subaru Serving Denver, CO

When you're looking for a new crossover SUV to take on Colorado terrain, you may be overwhelmed by the options. We understand that you want to get the best car for your money, which is why we know the 2017 Crosstrek is the one for you. Still, there is some pretty stiff competition in the market right now. Nissan has been heavily marketing the new Rogue for its features, affordable price, and more. But, in reality, when you choose the 2017 Crosstrek, you'll get more standard features for over $2,000 less. If you choose to really go for it and upgrade to the highest trim levels, the 2017 Crosstrek is still a whopping $6,000 more affordable while offering more dependable performance, better safety, and more features. Read through this page to see the facts about how the 2017 Crosstrek compares to the 2017 Rogue, then head into Mike Shaw Subaru to test drive it for yourself.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Nissan Rogue: Design

For a more affordable price, the Crosstrek offers more features standard. For example, the 2017 Crosstrek comes standard with alloy wheels instead of steel like the Rogue. Roof rails and fog lights are also standard on the Crosstrek but require upgrades to get on the Rogue, and a windshield wiper de-icer (necessary for those surprise snowy Colorado mornings) is available on the Crosstrek but not found on the Rogue. There is so much more we could point out, like the larger standard touchscreen display with Pandora app integration that you'll get on the Crosstrek, but it's best to come experience everything for yourself.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Nissan Rogue: Performance

Subaru performance is unrivaled, and the 2017 Crosstrek is a perfect example of this. The Rogue may offer more power, but it's quite a bit heavier than the Crosstrek. What really makes the Crosstrek take this category, though, is the Subaru BOXER engine. This horizontally-opposed engine delivers smoother, more controlled power. So, while Nissan may offer more power, you'll still notice a more responsive drive behind the wheel of the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. What's more, Subaru makes their world-renowned all-wheel drive system standard on every Crosstrek, while you'll have to pay extra to upgrade to all-wheel drive on the Nissan.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Nissan Rogue: Safety

Standard and available safety features are nearly the same on both models, but Subaru knows that safety is about more than just features. That's why the 2017 Crosstrek comes standard with an advanced ring shaped reinforcement frame that directs crash force energy around the passenger cabin in case of an accident. Couple this with Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive standard and the low center of gravity offered by the BOXER engine and you have one of the safest vehicles on the road. Nissan may offer a lot of safety technology, but nothing replaces safe base engineering that you won't have to pay extra for.
