2023 Nissan Rogue vs. 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander: Which is Best for Me?

The compact SUV segment is highly competititve, with some compelling options available. At Woodhouse Nissan Bellevue, we’re looking at two seemingly similar options – the 2023 Nissan Rogue and the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander — to see which is your best bet for a strong and capable SUV.

Matching Platforms

While the Nissan Rogue and Mitsubishi Outlander both boast distinct sleek exteriors, they have an underlying similarity. Both SUVs are built on the same platform and share the same compact SUV classification, although the Mitsubishi Outlander squeezes a third row of seating into the space. Both SUVs also share an identical 106.5-inch long wheelbase. The Nissan Murano, however, isn’t as wide, making it easier to navigate in and out of tight spaces.

Spacious Cabins

The Mitsubishi Outlander has the edge when maximizing cargo space inside the cabin. However, when you need seating for five, you’ll still get up to 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space in the Nissan Rogue, while the Mitsubishi Outlander has just 33.5 cubic feet (and substantially less if you opt to use that third row).

Superior Power

You’ll also find amplified performance in the Nissan Rogue. It uses a 1.5-liter DOHC 12-valve variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo®) engine to deliver up to 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. The Mitsubishi Outlander can’t compare with just 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque.

Extremely Efficient

While the Nissan Rogue is seriously fun to drive, it’s also highly efficient. It delivers a best-in-class 37 mpg highway/30 mpg city, compared to the Mitsubishi Outlander, which earns just 31 mpg highway/24 mpg city. The Nissan Rogue also has a larger fuel tank, so you’ll make fewer trips to the gas station.
