The compact crossover segment is incredibly crowded with many big names jostling for the top position. Two of those include the 2022 Hyundai Tucson and 2022 Nissan Rogue, which both underwent major redesign--Hyundai for the 2022 model year and Nissan for the 2021 model year.

With more attractive styling, modernized technology, and improved performance, the battle for first place is a tough one, but the 2022 Hyundai Tucson continues to remain on top.

 

Affordability

 

Starting at $27,799, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson is offered in Kanata and across Canada in five trim levels with a gas engine: Essential, and N Line.

Nissan has not yet released the prices for the 2022 Rogue, but they are expected to be slightly higher than the 2021 models, which started at $28,998 and included the S, SV, and Platinum.

 

Warranty Coverage

Hyundai offers the best warranty coverage of any automobile manufacturer. It provides a legendary 10-year/100,000-km powertrain warranty in addition to a 5-year/60,000-km limited warranty. Hyundai also provides three years or 36,000 kilometres of complimentary scheduled maintenance.

Nissan's coverage does not hold a candle to that. Its standard warranty coverage offers no frills and no complimentary maintenance. The powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 km while the limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 km.

 

Safety Features

 

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson comes equipped with the Hyundai SmartSense package of driver-assist features to keep drivers in Kanata and across Canada safe and secure. This package includes adaptive cruise control with traffic stop and go, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, driver attention warning, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, and so much more.

Nissan also offers its Full Safety Shield 360 suite of safety technologies on every model of the 2022 Rogue, but the list of features is not as robust as Hyundai's offerings.

 

Infotainment

 

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra and 2022 Nissan Rogue are well-matched in terms of infotainment systems, with both vehicles coming standard with a touchscreen display that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hyundai gets the slight edge because its display is 8.8 inches compared to Nissan's 8.0-inch display. Drivers can also upgrade the Hyundai's display to 10.3 inches and include features such as SiriusXM, a Bose stereo system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

 

Styling

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson goes for a daring and futuristic exterior design that turns heads. On the other hand, the 2022 Nissan Rogue continues to look like other crossovers with a boxier design than the Tucson.

 

Fuel Economy

 

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson handily wins the argument for better fuel economy. It offers 6.4 L/100km combined fuel economy while the Nissan Rogue can only do 8.1 L/100km combined. The Rogue just cannot compete, even though its engine is not as powerful as the Tucson's.

 

2022 Hyundai Tucson vs 2022 Nissan Rogue in Kanata

 

While they might seem well-matched at first, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson is a far superior vehicle than the 2022 Nissan Rogue. It offers more affordability, better warranty coverage, more safety features, more powertrain options, and better fuel efficiency.
