Both vehicles also include features such as digital gauge clusters, dual-zone automatic climate control systems, and leather upholstery for higher trims. Buyers can also expect higher trims to provide a power-adjustable driver seat and heated front seats.
The 2024 RAV4 also comes with front plus rear USB device charging ports, a spacious glovebox, a roomy center console storage area, and seat-back pockets. The 2024 Rogue includes some of these features, too. Some trims of the 2024 RAV4 can be outfitted with a power-operated moonroof.
Both vehicles offer approximately 37 cubic feet of cargo space. They also offer split-folding rear seatbacks to augment this, in case you need to transport larger, bulkier items. Plus, the 2024 RAV4 has a near-flat cargo floor. Higher trims gain a power-operated rear liftgate for enhanced loading and unloading convenience.
The 2024 RAV4 and the 2024 Rogue have standard Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. They also include Bluetooth® wireless audio and hands-free integration. The 2024 RAV4 also adds a Wi-Fi hotspot and can be specified with a JBL premium speaker system. A wireless phone charger is available.
The 2024 RAV4 comes with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, which delivers 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. All trims come with a three-mode drive selector that adjusts drivetrain parameters accordingly. The modes are Eco, Normal, and Sport.
Most 2024 RAV4 trims are front-wheel drive, but buyers can choose an all-wheel drive system. Meanwhile, the TRD Off-Road, Adventure, and Limited trims get all-wheel drive as standard. Moreover, they use an advanced system with real-time monitoring and torque vectoring. The system can always send more power to the wheels with the best grip for optimal progress. Conversely, the system can be switched into front-wheel drive mode when cruising on the highway for better fuel economy.
All 2024 RAV4 variants with all-wheel drive come with Toyota's MTS (Multi-Terrain Select) system. Up to four modes are provided, depending on trim. These modes are Normal, Rock & Dirt, Mud & Sand, and Snow. Furthermore, the TRD Off-Road trim gets special suspension and steel skid plates for underbody protection.
The 2024 Nissan Rogue range uses a 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine. The 201-hp engine uses Nissan's Variable Compression (VC) technology and can make up to 225 lb-ft of torque. A CVT gearbox sends power to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is available, but there’s no off-road optimized trim.
Toyota also offers a hybrid variant and a plug-in hybrid variant of the 2024 RAV4 range. Nissan does not offer a hybrid variant of the 2024 Rogue.
The 2024 RAV4 gets the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 suite as standard. This brings adaptive cruise control and automatic high-beam headlamps to all trims. Also standard are lane departure warnings, lane-keeping assistance, and a driver monitoring system. Higher trims come with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts. The 2024 Rogue has several of these features, but some are optional.
