Design
The 2025 Nissan Rogue shows off an athletic front end with its signature V-Motion grille and multi-level LED headlamps that bring a sense of modern elegance. Walk around to the back and you’ll notice a chiseled rear profile that’s just as sporty. When your hands are full, simply kick your foot under the rear bumper and the motion-activated power liftgate opens automatically. And you’ll find a spacious cargo area with up to 2,098 litres of storage when the rear seats are folded flat.
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 goes for a more rugged vibe. Its long wheelbase and wide track give it a stable feel on the road. Add in short overhangs and high ground clearance, and it helps you handle tough terrain when adventure calls. Its cargo capacity is decent, though slightly less than the Rogue’s, offering up to 1,977 litres behind the front seats.
Performance
Both the 2025 Nissan Rogue and the Toyota RAV4 come standard with all-wheel drive, and on paper, they offer similar engine performance. But when you take a closer look, or take a test drive, you’ll feel the difference. The Rogue features a smart 1.5-litre VC-Turbo engine that generates 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. This engine can continually adjust power and fuel economy, which gives you more punch when you need it and better mileage when you don’t. On the other hand, the RAV4 uses a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder DOHC engine with 203 horsepower. Although it’s capable as well, it doesn’t have the same flexible performance feel and turbocharged torque that the Rogue offers.
In terms of fuel efficiency, the 2025 Nissan Rogue comes out ahead once again, with an estimated 8.4 L/100 km in the city and 6.7 L/100 km on the highway. The RAV4 is slightly less efficient, at 8.7 L/100 km city and 6.9 L/100 km highway. It might not seem like a big difference, but it adds up over time, especially if you’re driving in the city every day.

Technology
If you’re into tech, the 2025 Nissan Rogue has a lot to get excited about. It comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that’s positioned perfectly for the driver. Right in front of you, there’s also a 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster that makes your drive feel connected, focused, and just a little bit futuristic. Some other tech features of the 2025 Nissan Rogue include:
- MyNissan App
- Wireless Carplay & Android Auto
- In-Vehicle Wi-Fi
- Bose Premium Audio System
- Wireless Charger
- Head-Up Display
- Intelligent Around View Monitor

In contrast, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 also brings solid tech to the table, with an available 10.5-inch multimedia touchscreen and a 7-inch multi-information display. It covers the basics well, but the screen sizes are smaller and the overall layout doesn’t feel quite as intuitive as what you’ll find in the Rogue. Some other tech features of the 2025 Nissan Rogue include:
- Wireless Carplay & Android Auto
- JBL Audio System
- Keyless Entry System
- Wireless Charger
- Panoramic View Monitor
