2025 Nissan Rogue vs 2025 Hyundai Tucson

For having starting prices of just under $30k, it’s no wonder that both the Rogue and Tucson are popular choices among families in New Port Richey needing a new and capable ride. Upon closer inspection, you may find that the new 2025 Nissan Rogue has so much more to it that makes it the better deal and all-around better SUV. Be it power, mileage, or handling, driving the new Rogue is like gliding through calm winds, and the kiddos will surely love that!

Performance

The powertrain in the new 2025 Rogue is not to be underestimated. Its 1.5L VC-Turbo engine makes 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque which is more than suitable for an SUV of its caliber. Plus, there are no compromises as you can achieve maximum power while getting up to 37 highway miles per gallon even in the Rogue’s base model. Additional driving enhancement features in the 2025 Nissan Rogue include an Xtronic CVT system, Intelligent Trace Control, an independent multi-link rear suspension system, and available Intelligent AWD. Combined, Nissan has successfully crafted the most capable Rogue yet.

Hyundai isn’t quite known for offering the most powerful options in its class, and it shows in the latest Tucson. The standard 2.5L engine in the 2025 Tucson only makes 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque which is substantially lower than the competing Rogue. The Tucson also carries a much lower fuel rating of 33 highway miles per gallon while the Rogue can get you up to 37 on a more powerful platform. As far as additional driving enhancements go, the Tucson doesn’t offer much more than SHIFTRONIC to slightly boost its transmission system.

Safety Features

You’ve heard of the ProPILOT Assist and ProPILOT Assist 1.1 safety systems. Now, get ready for ProPILOT Assist 2.1 in the latest 2025 Nissan Rogue! What makes this version so special? ProPILOT Assist 2.1 introduces hands-free and foot-off autonomous driving capable of changing lanes and navigating traffic on freeways around New Port Richey with the help of Intelligent Lane Intervention and Adaptive Cruise Control. Nissan’s latest creation is rather new, and you can experience it for yourself in the iconic Rogue! Also supported in the 2025 Rogue is an HD Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road mode to greatly decrease the possibility of any casualties.

Now is the time to get ahead of the curve with Nissan’s latest ProPILOT Assist 2.1 system with updated autonomous driving capabilities, but there’s nothing quite as groundbreaking in the new Tucson that would entice you to rush in getting this particular model. Hyundai still offers SmartSense standard with a few available add-ons to enhance your experience, but we almost guarantee that you’ll catch a bad case of FOMO after trying out the 2025 Rogue and its brand-new features that you’ll have a hard time finding anywhere else at a similar price range.

Interior

It’s super easy to get comfortable in the new 2025 Nissan Rogue, especially when you deck it out in all of the available interior upgrades like quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, tri-zone automatic temperature control, and dual panel panoramic moonroof. You can also manipulate your cargo space (all 72.9 cubic feet of it) with the modular Divide-N-Hide cargo system with a handful of different ways to organize your load. At this point, it should come as no surprise that the 2025 Rogue also supports dual 12.3-inch display screens for a high-tech setup!

The Tucson isn’t the most stylish ride, and some interior amenities don’t have as much of an edge as its competitor. For instance, the Divide-N-Hide cargo system in the Rogue can come in handy on multiple occasions whereas you’re left to fend for yourself in the Tucson’s bare cargo area. The Tucson is also limited to a dual-zone temperature control system while the Rogue can accommodate more people with its available tri-zone climate control.

Bottom Line

For being similar in price and vehicle class, the Rogue and Tucson couldn’t be even more different. The 2025 Nissan Rogue is much more unique in plenty of aspects like available driving technologies and interior amenities. Because of this attention to detail that caters to what the average driver needs in their daily lives, we commend Nissan for making the new Rogue as family-friendly as possible in New Port Richey.
