The Tucson is a great pick for Massachusetts families seeking attractive accommodations, appealing amenities, and abundant practicality in a conveniently sized SUV. While there are plenty of options in the crowded compact crossover segment, the Hyundai Tucson offers a compellingly complete package that's tough to beat. To show you what we mean, here's a look at how the Tucson compares in several important areas to a prominent class competitor, the Nissan Rogue.

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue: Performance

The Hyundai Tucson offers numerous powertrain options, allowing drivers to select their preferred mix of performance, efficiency, and value. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Power runs to the front wheels through a smooth and precise 8-speed automatic transmission, optimizing responsiveness and efficiency. Or you can select the available HTRAC all-wheel-drive system for enhanced handling and control in inclement conditions.

Are you shopping for a versatile crossover with excellent efficiency that doesn't need to be plugged in? The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with an electric motor and battery, producing an all-wheel-driving 226 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The Tucson Hybrid blue achieves an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined, while the Limited trim with larger wheels gets an estimated 37 mpg combined.1 The Nissan Rogue has a potent 1.5-liter turbo-three with a little more horsepower than the gas-only Hyundai Tucson (201 vs. 187 hp). However, it uses a less refined continuously variable transmission and isn't available as a hybrid model.

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue: Plug-in Hybrid

Have you considered getting an electric vehicle for your Milford travels but are unsure about fully relying on battery power? The Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid offers an attractive alternative. It uses the same 1.6-liter turbo-four engine as the Hybrid model but with a larger electric powertrain. The result is increased performance (261 horsepower) and impressive EPA-estimated 80 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent).1 And with an estimated 33 miles of electric-only range, it's a great way to experience EV driving without a full commitment to battery power.

The Hyundai Tucson PHEV is easy to live with and doesn't require special charging equipment. You can replenish the 13.8-kWh battery overnight (6 - 7 hours) using a three-pin household-style power outlet. For fast charging, you can use public or home-installed Level 2 equipment (240-volt / 7 kW) to refill the battery in just two hours. The Nissan Rogue doesn't offer a plug-in hybrid option.

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue: Accommodations and Practicality

The Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Rogue were fully redesigned in 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result, they both offer attractive cabins with modern design details, comfortable seats, and ample head and legroom in the front row. However, the Hyundai Tucson's second row is more accommodating, with more headroom, shoulder room, and hip room, than the Nissan Rogue. Rear-seat passengers will particularly appreciate the extra legroom, which measures 41.3 inches in the Tucson compared to the Rogue's 38.5 inches.

The Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Rogue both offer great practicality, with two of the largest cargo areas in the compact crossover class. However, if you're seeking maximum carrying capacity for your Seekonk errands and adventures, the Tucson has the edge, with 38.7 cubic feet behind the second row and a cavernous 80.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The Nissan Rogue's cargo area measures 36.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 74.1 cubic feet behind the first.

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue: Standard Driver Aids

While there's no substitute for attentive driving, it's nice to have some assistance to help mitigate the unexpected. Both models include several driver-assist technologies in their base trim levels. However, the Hyundai Tucson's standard driver aids are more numerous and more advanced.

Standard Hyundai SmartSense Technologies

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection
  • Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
  • Safe Exit Warning
  • Driver Attention Warning

The Nissan Rogue comes standard with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection but lacks cyclist and junction detection. It also includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning. However, these systems don't include collision intervention like in the Hyundai Tucson. Additionally, while the Rogue offers adaptive cruise control, you have to climb the trim ladder to get it.

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue: Features and Value

Both models have extensive equipment lists. However, the Hyundai Tucson makes many amenities more accessible at lower price points. It also offers several features that aren't available in the Nissan Rogue lineup. Here's a look at a few examples:

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue Feature Comparison

  • Both models come standard with 8-inch touchscreens and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. However, the Hyundai Tucson offers a 10.25-inch infotainment display and a fully digital instrument panel as an option for the second-tier SEL and standard in all higher trims. The Nissan Rogue's 9-inch infotainment upgrade is available via a package for the penultimate trim and standard only for the top-tier Platinum model. It also reserves a digital gauge cluster for the highest trim.

  • While both models offer heated front seats in their second-tier trims, the Tucson includes them as standard, while the Rogue reserves them for a package. Additionally, the Tucson Limited has cooled front seats and heated rear outboard seats. The Rogue Platinum offers heated rear seats as an option, but cooled seats aren't available.

  • The Hyundai Tucson offers innovative features like Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) and Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA). With the turn signal activated, BVM shows a feed of the corresponding blind spot in the digital gauge cluster. RSPA lets you slowly reverse or advance your Tucson from outside using your key fob, making it easier to enter and exit tight parking spaces. These features aren't available in the Nissan Rogue.

  • The second-tier Tucson SEL includes a hands-free liftgate and wireless smartphone charging. The Rogue reserves the features for its penultimate and top trims, respectively.

Hyundai Tucson vs. Nissan Rogue: Warranty

The Hyundai Tucson boasts industry-leading warranty coverage, including a 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Nissan's new vehicle and powertrain warranties are limited to three years/36,000 miles and five years/60,000 miles, respectively.
