2018 Nissan Rogue Sport/Qashqai vs Honda HR-V Comparison

The subcompact crossover segment is an important one and Honda has a bestseller with the HR-V. The Nissan Rogue Sport (aka the Qashqai in Canada) is new this year and wants to steal some of Honda’s thunder, so we’ve compared them head to head to see which one is better. Here’s what we thought.

I've driven both, and the rogue sport was better. Not sure why they've been whining so much. It's like these reviewers expect a cheaper vehicle to drive and feel like a luxury vehicle.

The review was OK but you're both kind of whiney, like the CVT. It was informative but there were too many pseudo-dramatic quips and vocalizations. It's like you were trying to be funny or clever in a 10 year old kind of way.

Maybe it'll smooth out over time.

They should pull the 1.5t out of the Civic for the HRV

Hi guy, I just drive from miami FL to hackensack NJ two days driving approximately 1, 300 miles. Driving a rogue sport 2017 AWD pulling a uhaul box trailer and the car surprise me it has a lot of power and I made it driving up to 80 mph some times. If you want power and torque get the rogue sport and if you want fuel economy get the honda.

You should use the new updated HR-V not the old car

What a great Qashqai VS HR-V idea. These 2 totally killed the video though. Hope someone else does this for the 2019 models soon. I really want a comparison that is logical and helpful. This was clearly not. I'M UNSUBSCRIBING NOW.

I just watched it again. This is by far the worst review I have seen AutoGuide do.

When you say the Rogue Sport beats the HRV for interior volume, I think you're just reading off the spec sheet. Take each of these vehicles to Costco or Ikea and fill them up and then tell me the Rogue Sport is bigger. Nothing beats the HRV (or Fit). It is just a big square box and can practically handle more than anything else in its class and is a better hauler than vehicles a class or 2 above it.

I'm considering to buy Nissan Rogue Sport. regardless of their review i prefer it over over the rogue. love to sit up high.. rogue needs more horsepower least 40 more

I dont understand the Honda lane watch diss, YOU DO NOT NEED TO SHOULDER CHECK WITH LANE WATCH. seriously.. so you claim it adds an extra step but it actually replaces a less safe procedure with one requiring a fraction of the body movement and can be done quicker. Where as blind spot monitors can miss things the actual camera will not miss things.

It'd be better if this was more objective and less just reviewing negatives.
Thanks for the reviewing, nevertheless.

You seem to have incorrect information. The Honda HRV has more cargo space than the Nissan Rogue Sport.

[tonyren.tr]

You could’ve waited and compared the HR-V using the 2019 model which has been out but not until the early 2019 in Canada!

[derrickjscottds]

Great Review and comparison! You guys are getting better and better. Having the both of you in each vehicle gives the video MORE Objectivity!
Keep up the good work.

[Msleelee]

I'm taking my aunt to look at the 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport and I'm thinking about one also we like them

[pjay]

Hyundai Kona would be a better choice for my taste.

I'm aware of the Kona lack of cargo space, but it would be more fun to drive than the Rogue Sport and the HR-V.

LOVE, how Y'ALL are so detailed about almost everything. THANK YOU. ☺

[swanblake]

Loved this comparison from you guys! Sharing your opinions and not holding back is refreshing. Thank you for the honesty. These vehicles are quite bad. People just blindly except anything as long as it has a raised ride height. Sad

"If you're getting on the highway and the truck is coming at you..." ... let the truck go by and merge in *behind* the truck. "Who uses AUX port any more?" Someone who has something other than a smartphone to connect. "The transmission is yelling at you, please stop..." Um, yeah, do please stop trying to do 0-60 in 6 with these little econoboxes, stop WANTING it.

[swanblake]

Happy you guys brougbt up how these take to get to 60mph. Expressway driving needs to be planned. Rogue Sport is quite poor of a driver while the HRV is great at drvivng. Both need way more powerful engine options like seen in the Kona. I'd go HRV for its looks, functionality magic seats, and fun driving characteristics
