Serving Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Washington D.C.

The 2019 Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder will both transport your family in style, with spacious, supportive seating and a wealth of tech and safety features. Still, with so much in common, you might be left wondering which of these two crossovers is more your speed. Our comparison guide is here to help.

Cabin Space and Comfort

It’s true that both of these crossovers feature the kind of seating that will keep you comfy for hours. Both the Rogue and the Pathfinder are also known for their generous head- and legroom, so your kids have plenty of room to grow. As you climb the Nissan trim models, you’ll find increasing luxury, with items like heated seats and leather upholstery to help you make the most of your on-road experience. However, these crossovers differ as to how many seats are on offer. In the compact Rogue, you’ll find space for up to five passengers. The mid-size Pathfinder has three rows of seating, providing space for up to seven of your favorite passengers.

Technology and Convenience Features

Whichever crossover you choose, you can expect to stay safely connected throughout your travels. This year, the Rogue includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities as part of the standard lineup, so all models provide hands-free access to smartphone apps like Maps and Music. The Pathfinder lacks this smartphone integration technology, but it does come standard with an 8-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Both crossovers offer timesavers like keyless entry and ignition. Use Nissan’s rearview camera to maximize visibility as you back out of a parking space.

Passenger Safety

These crossovers will actively help you avoid danger. Both the 2019 Nissan Rogue and the Pathfinder come standard with a long list of high-tech safety aids. The blind-spot monitoring system lets you know when there’s a vehicle lurking outside your line of sight, helping you know when it’s safe to switch lanes on the highway. When you’re in a parking space with minimal visibility, the rear cross-traffic alert system warns you of any traffic headed your way. The automatic emergency braking system can sense an oncoming accident and apply the brakes to help you avoid it – or at least mitigate damages. This system also includes pedestrian detection to help you avoid accidents in areas where there’s a lot of foot traffic. The lane keeping assist system actually helps you stay on the right track, gently correcting your course when you stray outside the lines.
