Interior
The most notable differences between these two SUVs can be found in their interiors. The new Nissan Rogue is a small crossover that's perfectly suited for up to five passengers, making it greater for Charlotte, NC commuters and small families. On the other hand, the new Nissan Pathfinder is a three-row, eight-passenger SUV that's best suited to growing families on the go in the greater High Point, NC area.
Technology
On the tech front, both the new Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Rogue are remarkably well-equipped. Both come outfitted with standard infotainment systems that support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Safety
Both the new Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Rogue are stellar on the safety front. They both offer innovations like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, and much more to keep you safe and secure on the roads of the greater Raleigh area.
