2021 Subaru Crosstrek vs. 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek has plenty of things to offer car buyers out there. It has been styled with a new look on the outside, with a corresponding update on its cabin. There is also a reliable set of technologies awaiting would-be buyers for the vehicle.
For the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport, you will notice that the cargo space is bigger when compared to that of its predecessor’s. This one also lists more standard driver assistance features.
Design & Style
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek gracefully opens its trunk to 55.3 cubic feet when the back seats are folded, after starting out with a 20.6 cubic feet configuration when all seats are in use. It is wrapped in cloth upholstery and has five comfortable seats ready to accommodate even taller passengers. You may also upgrade seats to water-repellant or leather-trimmed materials. There is plenty of legroom and headroom on both rows. Completing the cabin’s look are soft plastics and orange stitching to highlight all other parts inside.
In the case of the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport, there is also about 20 cubic feet of cargo room which expands to 53 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. You will find at least a decent amount of legroom and headroom on both rows, but the back seats lack the legroom needed by taller passengers. You will also notice plenty of hard plastics inside.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Crosstrek carries the Starlink infotainment system which pairs with a 6.5-inch touch screen. This has simple menus that are easy-to-comprehend with. The screen displays crisp graphics and is quick to respond to user commands. Apart from Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, it also has a USB port, Bluetooth, and four speakers. There is a rearview camera to help you become safe for your travels.
The Nissan Rogue Sport, meanwhile, has a seven-inch touch screen for its infotainment interface. This one has a satellite radio, Bluetooth, a USB port, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Despite having a screen that is a bit larger than that of the Crosstrek’s, the display is not readable. It is also hard to access from the driver’s seat. Safety wise, it is equipped with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, and rearview camera, among others.
Performance
Car buyers are given two engine options for the Crosstrek. Those who will go for the base trim will enjoy the turbo-four, 2.0-liter engine that can yield up to 152 horsepower. Other trims carry the 2.5-liter, inline-four, just enough to generate power for 182 horses. The engine under the hood of the Rogue Sport spruces up to 141 horsepower only.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is a far much better choice than that of the Nissan Rogue Sport. This one looks more modern, has all the amenities you are looking for, and is more powerful than its Nissan counterpart.
