From Slatersville to Smithfield: How the Nissan Rogue Outsmarts the Honda CR-V on Rhode Island Roads

Why Rhode Island Drivers Choose the Nissan Rogue
It's not just about getting from point A to point B. Rhode Islanders face unique driving challenges-narrow colonial streets, unpredictable weather, and weekend trips to the coast. The Nissan Rogue, available at Anchor Nissan, is designed with these needs in mind.
1. All-Weather Confidence
- Intelligent All-Wheel Drive: The Rogue's AWD system reacts in real-time, keeping you in control when rain or snow hits. The CR-V's system is good, but the Rogue's feels a bit more intuitive in slippery conditions.
- Ground Clearance: The Rogue sits higher, making it perfect for snowdrifts or potholes common on Rhode Island backroads.
2. Superior Tech for Safer Drives
- Nissan Safety Shield® 360: This suite includes blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking. According to IIHS safety ratings, the Rogue is a Top Safety Pick, giving you peace of mind on every trip.
- ProPILOT Assist: Available only on the Rogue, this feature makes highway drives smoother by automatically adjusting speed and steering. The CR-V's adaptive cruise control is nice, but it just isn't as advanced.

Comfort and Convenience on Every Journey
- Roomy Cabin: The Rogue offers best-in-class front headroom and a flexible cargo area, perfect for everything from soccer practice to a weekend at the beach.
- Easy-to-Use Controls: The Rogue's touchscreen is a breeze to navigate, and Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ is standard on every trim. You won't have to fuss with complicated menus or extra fees, which is a relief for busy families.
Fuel Efficiency That Fits Your Budget
Gas prices in Rhode Island can fluctuate, but the Rogue's fuel-sipping engine helps you save at the pump. The 2024 Rogue gets up to 35 MPG highway, edging out the CR-V in real-world tests. Check out official fuel economy stats to see the numbers for yourself.
