Differences Between 2019 Mazda CX-5 & 2019 Nissan Rogue

Serving Batavia, Cincinnati, and Withamsville, OH

The Mazda CX-5 is often compared against the 2019 Nissan Rogue, and you may be wondering which of these two models is a good fit for your needs. The Mazda CX-5 received a major overhaul from bumper to bumper when the second generation was released in 2017. The Rogue’s second generation launched in 2014, and it has received a few minor improvements since that time. Both of these popular compact crossovers are wonderful vehicles to choose, but a review of a few important differences may reveal that one model is a superior choice for you.

Style

Each driver may have a specific style that they prefer, and a look at the style differences between the new Mazda CX-5 and the Rogue may help you to develop a preference. The Mazda CX-5 has an appealing profile and overall body style that is characterized by a large grille, deeply angled headlights and a proud hood. The crisp contouring on the hood fades into angled contouring that carries along the side panels. The roof bends gracefully into the rear liftgate, and the taillights are pronounced. As you compare the exterior of Mazda CX-5 to the Rogue’s exterior, you will see that the Rogue has minimal contouring that gives it a smooth finish across most surfaces. The roof and hood have less curvature as well, and the roof transitions into a spoiler above the tailgate.

Features

These two compact crossover SUVs both have front bucket seats and a split-folding rear seat to provide space for five adults. Specific features vary for both vehicles based on the trim that you take home. A few of the features that may be in your new Mazda CX-5 for 2019 include Bluetooth technology, a MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system, mounted controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote keyless entry, speed-sensitive power door locks, a push-button start, a keyless ignition and other features. Some of the Rogue’s available features include auto climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, a sound system, a driver’s instrumentation panel and other features.

Performance

You understandably demand exceptional performance from your next vehicle. Because the Mazda CX-5 and the Rogue differ substantially in this area, a test drive to compare their performances first-hand makes sense. The Mazda CX-5 is equipped with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine with Cylinder Deactivation, multiple driving modes, an automatic transmission, G-Vectoring Control Plus and other top features. The 2019 Rogue from Nissan is powered by a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder powertrain mated with front-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes, an automatic transmission, an independent suspension and other related features.
