Rogue vs Kicks: Which is Better?

Nissan offers so many amazing models, with something in the lineup for everyone. However, knowing which model is perfect for you can be difficult. Today we’re comparing two of the brand’s most popular models—the Rogue and Kicks—to give you a better idea of which model would best fit your lifestyle. We’re going to take an in-depth look at the features car buyers care about most to help you decide.

Fuel Economy and Price

Fuel efficiency and price are two of the biggest factors for many car buyers. Because it's smaller, you might think the Kicks takes both of these categories, but not by much. With 36* highway mpg and a starting MSRP of $20,290**, the Kicks is the best choice for drivers who prioritize initial cost. The Rogue starts at $27,360** and has a highway mpg of 37*, which is admirable when you consider everything this SUV offers.

Size and Comfort

For seating, both the Kicks and Rogue seat five. Both offer ample passenger space, but the Rogue does edge out the Kicks in this category. However, size can be a bit subjective. If you need that extra room and comfort, the Rogue is the winner, but the Kicks will be a star on city streets and busy parking lots. 

Power and Capability

Nissan is leading the segment in performance and both these models offer it in spades. The Rogue can tow up to 1,500 pounds, whereas the Kicks isn't rated for towing. The 2023 Kicks produces up to 122 horsepower, whereas the Rogue comes in at 201 peak horsepower. Of course, more power means more fuel, so it's all about what fits your lifestyle best.

It's hard to choose based on specs alone. We recommend taking a firsthand look at any model you are considering before you make a final decision. The Hall Nissan Virginia Beach team is here to make buying the right vehicle for you as easy as possible.
