SUV Showdown: 2025 Nissan Rogue vs. 2025 Hyundai Tucson

Are you looking at compact SUVs in 2025? Two names will pop up every time—the Nissan Rogue and the Hyundai Tucson. Both pack serious value and comfort into a mid-sized frame, but which one fits your lifestyle better? Let’s break it down so you don’t have to.

Engine Power That Moves You

The 2025 Nissan Rogue runs on a 1.5-litre VC-Turbo engine producing 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. It adapts to your drive, flipping between power and efficiency on demand. Meanwhile, the 2025 Tucson Plug-in Hybrid pushes out a combined 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with a powerful electric drive motor supporting its hybrid setup.

Fuel Efficiency That Pays Off

On gas alone, the Rogue delivers an impressive 8.4 L/100 km in the city and 6.7 L/100 km on the highway. The Tucson counters with a combined 8.8 L/100 km, offering 9.7 L/100 km city and 7.7 L/100 km highway with its gas engine. Fuel-saving tech exists in both, but Rogue edges ahead on long-haul mileage.

All-Wheel Confidence for All Seasons

Snow, rain or gravel—the Rogue gives you a standard Intelligent AWD paired with five drive modes including Snow, Sport and Off-Road. The Tucson counters with HTRAC AWD and three terrain settings—Snow, Mud and Sand—for those unpredictable road moments. Both handle tough Canadian conditions, just with a different flair.

Tech That Keeps You in Command

The Rogue offers an available 12.3-inch touchscreen, digital cluster and Google built-in for seamless access to maps, media and voice controls. It also has wireless smartphone integration and MyNissan App features. The Tucson brings in a high-res 12.3-inch infotainment screen, digital gauge cluster, and Bluelink system with remote cabin control, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and fingerprint recognition.

Interior Style With Room to Move

Inside the Rogue, you’ll find a tri-zone automatic climate control, semi-aniline leather seats, and up to 2,098 litres of cargo space with the rear seats down. The Tucson counters with ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, panoramic moonroof, and an open-concept cabin with plenty of legroom—although it doesn’t quite match Rogue’s cargo capacity.

Safety That Comes Standard

Rogue’s Nissan Safety Shield 360 includes features like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, and ProPILOT Assist 2.1 which even allows hands-free highway driving. The Tucson brings its Hyundai SmartSense suite, offering similar features like Remote Smart Parking, collision mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. Safety is well-covered on both ends.
