2025 Nissan Rogue SL vs 2025 Nissan Murano SL – Which One Should YOU Buy?

welcome to a battle of the Nissan SUVs today we have the 2025 Nissan Moreno SL and the Nissan Rogue SL two of the most popular crossovers on the Nissan lot so let's go through the ins and outs to help you determine which one should you buy now if you've walked a lot you might have debated which crossover is better for you the Nissan Morano or the Rogue now with a full redesign of the 2025 Morano we thought it would be appropriate to compare these two lovely SUVs now let's first things first start with the pricing the Nissan Morano is going to have a little higher of a price tag it's going to have a Canadian MSRP of 53,285 and an American MSRP of 46,560 while our Nissan Rogue SL the MSRP is 4685 and our American MSRP is 36.90 so you have about a $7,000 difference between the two let's see what you get and if it's worth that extra dough now one thing we notice when we're talking about these two cars is they are very similar do not get me wrong guys a lot of the features are pretty much the same it's a matter about size space and comfort here but in terms of the front ends you can see we have a little different styling this Morano has this flatted out kind of front hood accent here both of them are going to come with LED headlights you can see it's kind of the same dual stacked styling on the headlights i find the Morano just looks a little bit sleeker and there is more chrome to the Rogue you can see we kind of have the chrome accents in this Votion grill on the front of both these cars they're both going to come with forward parking sensors they're both going to come with forward-facing cameras and they're going to come with a similar suite of safety features which we're going to show you when we get these things on the road so you do have a little more sleeker kind of modern styling in the Morano and more chrome here on the Rogue now when you compare the side profiles you can see really see the size difference this Morano is beefier it is a little more higher up than our Nissan Rogue it's sitting on 20-in aluminum alloy rims here you have things like privacy glass so the rear windows are tinted you can get this in a two-tone roof as well if you want the two-tone roof for the Morano there is LED accents on the mirrors you have a round view camera very comparable to the Rogue here you can see the size difference here i'm going to let you get a full shot of this you can see how it's a little shorter a little lower than the Morano and you have 19-in aluminum alloy ribs here on the Rogue both cars going to have front and rear disc brakes you have the same tinted windows you get roof rails on the Rogue the Moreno you don't get roof rails so if you want to get your cross racks and put the luggage on the roof you can put that up there and then you have the same kind of body style mirrors this one comes in the boulder gray exterior with the two-tone roof now let's talk about the interiors here both of them are going to have leather appointed seats we're in the Morano here now and you can tell just by looking at this that it's a little more luxury you can see the seats have a little better stitching and design this one comes with the beige interior you can choose a black interior as well depending on your color choice this one has eightway power adjustable seats me two memory positions they are heated and you have the heated steering wheel now when we jump into the Rogue you can see it has the black interior there's really not many fun color combinations this one just comes with the black interior and you can see it doesn't look as sleek that's the difference the Morano gives you a bit more luxury higherend feel both seats are going to be eightway this one has the two memory positions as well and you have your heated front seats now guys I know we're comparing the two cars quickly here but if you want to see full detailed unlocks of me going through each of these cars in more detail I'm going to link those in the description below and you guys can check it out but let's talk about kind of the infotainment because this is where the cars differentiate a bit more here this Rogue that we're in has the two screens so you do have the 12-in screen right behind the steering wheel and you have our 12.3 in screen for our infotainment in terms of infotainment they're going to be the same both of them are going to do a ton of things for you google builtin you have your GPS you have your Google Maps right on the screen you have Apple CarPlay Android Auto let's clear out the settings here and turn this on so you guys can see here you can see your Google Maps on your Rogue and then you have wireless Android Auto wireless Apple CarPlay Alexa there's so many fun cool things you can do with this the cameras are going to be similar in both vehicles you get the 3D HD intelligent camera here the difference is this one has this built-in screen right behind the wheel and on the Morano it's a continuous free flowing kind of screen like it is two screens but it looks like it's all in one so the fit and finish is a little better on this Morano and you can see there's just a little better trunk accents you have different color combinations luxury looks you can change the ambient lighting on the Morano and you can really pick whatever color scheme you want if you want the ambient lighting to be magenta pink you can make it magenta pink so what I like about the Morano is just the fit and finish you can see the wheel is a bit more better designed here this is a more modern contemporary sleeker look you have the capacity buttons as well for your heating and air conditioning on your Morirano a big difference this one has the button shifter so I'm not a big fan of these buttons i do like the shifter that's in the Rogue this one is just a button for the park reverse neutral and drive now let's compare the power plans and this is where the cars differentiate in terms of the power plans this Morano is going to give you 241 horsepower and 261 pound- feet of torque 10.2 lers for every 100 kilometers and 23 MPG now when we flip over to our Rogue the Rogue is a 1.5 3 cylinder engine it also has that same variable compression turbo 201 horsepower and 225 lb feet of torque so you get about 30 MPG with this so you have a bigger engine more acceleration better fuel economy smaller engine this is a threecylinder versus a fourcylinder and the other big differentiator is the transmissions our Rogue is going to come with a CVT continuously variable transmission while our Morano is going to come with a N-speed automatic transmission so a few different power plans and that's kind of what you're getting in terms of towing they both can tow up to 1,500 lb so same towing capacity for both now we have a couple innocent bystanders here Mila and Natalie maddie maddie you guys saw us filming we want to know which one do you like better do you like the white car the Morano better or this gray car the Nissan Rogue like we like the white one you guys like the white one better why um it just looks nice perfect well thank you so much you're welcome big insight from the fans watching so thank you ladies we'll let the viewers know what you think bye great job great job so there you go now you have the advice of the 12year-old but you guys also comment below which one do you like better the Rogue or the Morano both cars are going to come with Nissan's intelligent remote starter it's a race see which one starts up first wow that was a photo finish i think they they literally started up at the same time so same remote starter don't let that change your buying decision you can start the car up warm it up on the winter time one thing that the Morano has that the Rogue doesn't as I approach the car it automatically unlocks and as I walk away it automatically locks does the Rogue have the same thing as I approach the car it is still locked so I still need to push this button here to unlock the door so if the approach lock and unlock is a mustave for you the Morirano would be your choice on paper the ground clearance is almost identical 8.2 in of ground clearance versus 8.3 in and you can really see how similar it is when you look at the front ends but when we go to the back the Rogue has something that the Morirano doesn't even though the Morano is more you get that foot activated lift gate here where you can do it just with your foot and then the Morano it doesn't have that foot activated lift gate you have to push the button so little strange the Rogue has a feature that the Morano doesn't even though Moreno is supposed to be more expensive and better but you don't say that shut up rogue also has more cargo capacity on paper 36.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity on the Rogue and I believe it's because it has this kind of second hidden storage underneath here you can see there's a full extra about inch and a half of storage underneath when we jump over to the Morano this one on paper is 32 cubic feet so 4 in less of cargo capacity on the Morano now one thing that the Morano does have is you have the levers back here and you can fold your seats down so you don't have to go all the way around while the Rogue when we come back it's a little bit of a reach but I got to reach kind of all the way across and drop those seats down now I hate to keep getting you guys jumping back and forth but another thing Rogue has a spare tire okay and the Morano doesn't have a spare tire so really strange that we're finding things the Rogue has that the Morano doesn't no spare tire on the Morano now the Morano I must say is more comfortable like the seats feel a little more plush a little more cushiony i do feel like I don't have as much knee room here but you have heated back seats you have USBs you have cup holders you have cup holders in the elbow rest here and these seats this is as far back as these seats will recline now I'm not saying that the back seats in the Rogue aren't comfortable like they are very comfortable i just felt like the Morano seats were a little more softer a little more cushion um felt a little better on the uh you know the bottom here so this one in the Rogue you can see I do think my legs I got a bit more leg room like I'm 5'9 i feel like I can stretch my legs out i think it's just the angle that these seats are kind of sloped down a little higher in the Rogue this one does have the side curtain shade here so if you have a little infant in a car seat back here you can keep the UV rays off their face both seats are going to be heated just like the Morano USBC's and we do have the elbow rest so back seats are similar i do like the comfort of the Morano a little better but I I feel I have more space back here with the Rogue in terms of the drive I I like the drive of the Morano i I got to give it to the Morano maybe I would sacrifice a little bit of fuel economy it's not going to have the best fuel economy versus the Rogue but I do like the drive the acceleration and the handling a lot better in terms of features it's going to be relatively the same like both of them are going to have this full panoramic sunroof both of them are going to have all of our Pro Pilot 1.1 assistant here so we talk about that a lot in our other videos that's your driving assistant where it will help to it will keep you centered in the lane and drive on the road both of them are going to have that same thing sound system is the same you got 10 upgraded Bose audio speakers in both the Morano and in both the Rogue SL almost identical wise in terms of the features blind spot monitor that's all the same the cameras are going to be the same there's a lot of similarities between the two where the Morano shines is the comfort and the drive i would spend the extra money and go with something like this and now we're behind the wheel of the Rogue and we're on the inside the Rogue don't get me wrong the Rogue is a great drive i love driving the Rogue i would take it on a road trip i would take my family in it very safe very reliable it's just when we're comparing the two I do like the Morano better here there's a lot more plastic a little more harder surfaces it's not as plush it's not as soft it's not as elegant in terms of the interior it is still very modern looking and when you're in this car with guests you do get a lot of compliments on the car um I just do like the drive and the handling of the Morano better if all the tech is going to be the same straight drive versus drive I'm choosing the Morano all day now one thing that this Rogue has that the Morano doesn't is a few different drive modes so this one has an off-road mode it also has a snow mode while the Morano doesn't have those two separate drive modes i believe in the US you can also get this in a Pro 4X off-road package so that's another bonus if you guys like this kind of off-road type driving now tough decision here guys if you guys have made it to the end of the video here you are probably wondering which one should you choose and waiting for me to guide you this is really needs versus wants do you want to spend the extra money for the more space you want to save the money and get a little less space now if it was me purchasing the two cars I would go with the Morano and I would spend the extra money i've been around these cars for a long time and I feel like the Morano is just a smoother more luxury kind of feel and I feel like it's more reliable based on its track record versus the Rogue i like the 2 liter engine drive better versus this threecylinder with the turbo but both cars are great options but I want to hear from you now that you've heard from me comment below
