Other options, like the 2017 Nissan Rogue for instance, are still vying for your attention.

The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek versus the 2017 Nissan Rogue

Affordability: We know that affordability is important to our customers - especially when shopping on a budget. If cost is important to you, it will cost you much less to drive the Subaru Crosstrek than the Nissan Rogue. The Crosstrek starts at $21,695, whereas the Rogue starts at $25,170.

Performance: Here in Rhode Island we experience the joy - and sometimes the pain - of all four seasons. That said, all-wheel drive can make a serious difference in your travels.

Fortunately, the Crosstrek comes standard with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which creates uniform stability and delivers an optimal distribution of power for maximum traction on a variety of terrains and in inclement conditions. As for the Nissan Rogue, you will have to pay extra to add the optional Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system as it only comes standard with front-wheel drive.

Safety: When it comes to safety, the Subaru Crosstrek surpasses the Nissan Rogue with a five-star overall National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety rating. The Nissan Rogue only earned four-stars from the NHTSA. The Crosstrek also boasts Subaru's EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control and detects hazards.

Design: While both models are easy on the eyes, the Subaru Crosstrek proves to be more advanced with more ground clearance and more standard features, like roof rails. With more ground clearance, you can take on challenging terrains with ease and confidence. And, with integrated roof rails, you will have even more cargo-carrying capability than the Nissan Rogue.
