You don t need to pay premium prices for a luxury crossover.
Compact SUVs are big business in the United States. Don t believe us? The best selling non-truck on US soil is the Toyota RAV4, which proves there s money to be made if you have a solid reputation and good product to offer buyers. But while the RAV4 may steal the mainstream sales, there are others fighting for a slightly more niche slice of the pie. The Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Rogue are vying for that slice, providing luxurious alternatives to the mainstream without quite competing in the premium segment. That s never something that would ve been said of any previous Nissan Rogue, but the 2021 Rogue is all-new, completely redesigned and riding on a new platform, bestowed with the latest in tech, safety, and comfort. This puts it right in line with what the Mazda CX-5 has offered for years, luxury with an affordable price tag attached. But the Mazda has been updated for 2021 as well, which begs the question: which is better?
