The Nissan Rogue Takes on the Competition

The small SUV-car crossover market is saturated with options, which is why we here at Lithia Nissan of Eugene have researched three of the most popular cars in that genre to help make your decision-making process a little easier.

The Nissan Rogue

Of course, we are a little biased towards the Nissan Rogue. We love this car and we know it well since we've been your choice in the Eugene, Oregon area for buying the Rogue for years.

But, we also know the Rogue faces some tough competition from the Subaru Forester and the Toyota Rav4. So, we've broken down the major differences between these cars to make your car buying experience as easy as possible.

But, the Nissan Rogue comes available in three trim levels:

• The S
• The SV
• The SL

All three Rogue trims come with a 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine that packs 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.
