The Nissan Rogue and the Hyundai Santa Fe are SUVs in different size classes. The Rogue is a compact, two-row SUV, while the Hyundai Santa Fe is a midsize, three-row SUV.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a much larger vehicle than the Nissan Rogue, and offers more power. The Santa Fe’s single engine choice has 290 horsepower. The smaller Rogue has a standard engine with 170 horsepower, and also comes in a hybrid version.
There is a major difference in the amount of cargo space between these two vehicles. The Rogue provides you with 70 cubic feet with the second row folded. The Santa Fe has a total of 83.2 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. This is a natural consequence of the Santa Fe’s greater length and width.
Choosing between the Nissan Rogue and the Hyundai Santa Fe really comes down to how big a vehicle you need. Do you have to have seating for up to seven with loads of hauling capacity? The Santa Fe is the right choice. Will a smaller, two-row SUV that still has a decent amount of cargo space do the job just as well for you? Then go with the Rogue.
