Front Headroom

If you’re exceptionally tall, you’ll be more comfortable in the 2018 Nissan Rogue, with 41.6 inches of headroom. The Rav4 has 39.8 inches and the Ford Escape has just a tad more room at 39.9 inches.

Safety Features

The 2018 Rogue offers blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert as standard equipment. Blind spot warning provides a visual cue if there’s a vehicle in one of your blind spots and an audio alert if you turn on your signal while it is active. With rear cross traffic alert, you can reverse out of parking spots knowing it is helping to detect vehicles approaching from either side. On every other competitor in its class, this feature will cost more.

Also available is the Intelligent Around View Monitor, which gives drivers a 360-degree image of surroundings from above and provides visual and audible alerts if the system detects something moving near the vehicle.
