2024 Nissan Rogue vs. 2024 Nissan Murano

SUVs offer versatility, from their ability to handle rugged terrains to comfortably seating small families or a tight-knit group of friends. Nissan SUVs provide these capabilities and more. With the 2024 model year, the third generation of the Nissan Rogue receives an exciting facelift with an upgraded exterior and enhanced technologies. The Nissan Murano is also in its third generation and getting a refresh for 2024.

A few elements are comparable between the two Nissan SUVs, but they differ in several areas. For example, you can save more on gas with the fuel-efficient 2024 Rogue or get a better connection with Google built-in and device compatibility. Do you need help deciding which SUV is right for you? Read as our John Sinclair Nissan team in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, looks at the 2024 Nissan Rogue and 2024 Nissan Murano in this side-by-side comparison.

Stylish Exterior

Make a statement while driving through the city in the 2024 Nissan Rogue. It features a redesigned exterior with new headlights, grille, and bumper, boasting a bold and rugged appearance. Boost the SUV’s exterior with the available two-tone roof and blacked-out wheel arches. The 2024 Nissan Murano is a great choice for a smoother, sculpted look. This luxury SUV’s body is aerodynamic, and its LED taillights present a boomerang-inspired shape. The Murano’s exterior features a floating roof design that’s pleasing to the eye and complements the contrast of the surrounding windows.

Engine Performance and Fuel Efficiency

A turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that delivers 201 horsepower powers the 2024 Nissan Rogue. The Rogue can go from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds with these stunning specs. This compact crossover’s engine pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with standard front-wheel drive. A 2024 Rogue with all-wheel drive is available. The 2024 Nissan Murano’s engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 with a CVT that helps it deliver 260 horsepower. The standard engine option has front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available.

If you’re looking for an SUV with good gas mileage, the Nissan Rogue is the better option for your daily commute in Cape Girardeau. A front-wheel-drive model gets 30 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. The 2024 Murano gives less than favorable fuel economy, with 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

Comfortable and Capable Interior

Despite its rugged exterior, the 2024 Nissan Rogue presents a smooth interior with available quilted leather seats in an irresistible Chestnut color. Seat five people comfortably in this compact crossover SUV and enjoy the thoughtful organizational design of the storage cubbies. You can purchase extra car accessories, such as a seat back organizer, to enhance your Rogue’s convenience to suit your storage needs. Available interior features include three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

The 2024 Nissan Murano also seats five and features standard heated outboard rear seats on the SL and Platinum trims to keep your passengers warm. Relish the comfort of the luxurious leatherette seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel. Heated front seats are standard for this SUV on all but the Platinum trim, and a heated steering wheel is standard on the SL and Platinum. Customize the interior with the 60/40-split rear seats by folding them down to fit extra groceries, sports equipment, or camping gear.

Noteworthy Dimensions

Living up to its compact design, the 2024 Nissan Rogue is 183 inches long, making it easy to maneuver in and out of a parking lot or your driveway. Its cargo capacity is accommodating, presenting a volume of 37 cubic feet with the rear seat up. While the 2024 Nissan Murano is longer than the Rogue at 192.8 inches, the cargo volume is smaller at 32.1 cubic feet with the rear seat up. Both SUVs have a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, just enough to tow a small trailer with dirt bikes for your next off-roading adventure.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Nissan prioritizes your and your passenger’s safety with a standard suite of essential safety features on the 2024 Rogue and the 2024 Murano. The automatic emergency braking system has pedestrian detection to engage the SUV’s brakes, preventing a frontal collision with other vehicles or people. The blind-spot monitor is like an extra set of eyes on the road that checks your blind spot and alerts you if it detects another vehicle. Another impressive safety feature is the rear cross-traffic alert that allows you to reverse confidently, alerting you if you get too close to someone behind you.

Impressive Technology and Connectivity

The 2024 Nissan Rogue’s driver-centric interior starts with the available digital displays on the dashboard and behind the steering wheel. You’ll appreciate the convenience of the digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch touch-screen and infotainment system is standard on the SL and Platinum models. This large display is an excellent upgrade from previous model years’ 8- or 9-inch displays.

Do you love staying connected while on the road? This compact crossover takes connectivity to a new level with the available Google built-in. Send time-sensitive messages or take important phone calls with Google Assistant and receive real-time traffic updates with Google Maps to get you to your destination quickly. The 2024 Rogue also features NissanConnect Services, which easily sync to compatible devices. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard in this SUV.

NissanConnect Services are also available on the 2024 Murano, but the digital displays aren’t as impressive as the Rogue’s. The touch-screen infotainment display is only 8 inches, and the driver display is only 7 inches. Still, this luxury SUV offers Bluetooth calling, hands-free texting, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. But if you favor impressive technology features in your SUV, choose the 2024 Nissan Rogue for your next auto purchase.
