While the Outlander boasts impressive power and MPG rating for a three-row vehicle, the Rogue prioritizes a more robust engine. However, an extra 20 horsepower and 44 pound-feet of torque is not very noticeable on the freeway or while driving through the city. And if you're looking for more superb MPG ratings, try the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and keep your third-row seating.
With 2,000 pounds of towing capacity,5 the Outlander is more than capable of pulling fishing boats, small campers, and more. The extra 500 pounds over the Rogue6 is the slight edge you need to upgrade from basic cargo extenders to more useful cargo equipment.
Plus, the Outlander boasts up to 8.4 inches of ground clearance and comes with five drive modes: Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, Normal, and Eco; Mud is available. On the other hand, the Rogue only reaches 8.2 inches of ground clearance and features two standard drive modes, Eco and Sport, with Snow and Off-Road available.
Trim Levels: Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Nissan Rogue Differences
For the 2024 model year, the midsize Nissan Rogue offers four trim options:

However, if you're the type of driver who likes choices, the compact Mitsubishi Outlander stands out from its rival with the following trim choices:
- ES

- SEL
- SEL Touring
- SEL Premium
These trims are just the beginning. While they offer extraordinary upgrades as you move up the lineup, you can also access additional features through special editions and packages.
By way of amenities, the Outlander has the upper hand.

The Rogue only has these features in higher trims and doesn't even offer a comparable Trailer Stability Assist function.
Interior & Comfort: 2024 Outlander vs. Rogue
