The 2016 Nissan Rogue and the Subaru Forester share many traits. In the rankings at U.S. News and World Report, the Rogue is rated in the top three while the Subaru is stuck at number nine. What is the difference in these affordable compact crossovers? You can see the Rogue for yourself at McKinnon Nissan.

Organization and Hauling
For starters, the Rogue has better cargo space than the Forester. Not only does it have almost five more cubic feet, but it also has an exclusive organization system. Divide-N-Hide offers shelves and numerous configurations to make it easier to lug the family’s gear. To learn more about the Rogue’s capabilities, schedule a test drive at your Nissan dealer serving Montgomery AL.

Special Features
The Rogue offers features that the Forester doesn’t. The first is the available third row in the Rogue. The second is the Rogue’s zero gravity seats that really do fight fatigue. The third is the quick warm-up of the QuickComfort seat heaters. The fourth is the Rogue’s EZ Flex seating that offers sliding and reclining. Finally, the Rogue offers special crash avoidance technology including an AroundView camera and moving object detection. It also has forward emergency braking and a blind spot monitor, reducing the chances of common side-swipe and rear-end collisions.

Fuel Economy
The Rogue also beats the Forester with regard to fuel economy. The Rogue earns 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. The Forester earns 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. This adds up to more stops for gas and to more money for operating costs.
