Compare the2025 Mazda CX-70VS 2024 Nissan Rogue

The CX-70 Premium has a standard Secondary Collision Reduction System, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Rogue doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the CX-70. But it costs extra on the Rogue.

Both the CX-70 and Rogue have Rear Cross Traffic Alert, but the CX-70 has Rear Cross Traffic Braking (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Rogue’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the CX-70 and the Rogue have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, driver alert monitors and available around view monitors.

The Mazda CX-70 weighs 1124 to 1746 pounds more than the Nissan Rogue. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The CX-70 PHEV can travel with zero emissions for 26 miles. The Rogue can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

Regenerative brakes improve the CX-70’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Rogue doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

The CX-70’s standard fuel tank has 4 gallons more fuel capacity than the Rogue (18.5 vs. 14.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups. The CX-70 Turbo S’ standard fuel tank has 5.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the Rogue (19.6 vs. 14.5 gallons).

The CX-70 has a standard locking fuel door which locks and unlocks with the power locks. The fuel filler door is not lockable on the Rogue. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank.

For better stopping power the CX-70’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Rogue:

	CX-70	CX-70 Turbo S/PHEV	Rogue
Front Rotors	12.9 inches	13.7 inches	11.7 inches
Rear Rotors	13.8 inches	13.8 inches	11.5 inches

The CX-70 stops shorter than the Rogue:

	CX-70	Rogue
70 to 0 MPH	171 feet	177 feet	Car and Driver

For better traction, the CX-70 has larger standard tires than the Rogue (265/55R19 vs. 235/65R17). The CX-70 Premium’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Rogue (275/45R21 vs. 235/65R17).

The CX-70’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 55 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Rogue S’ standard 65 series tires. The CX-70 Premium’s tires have a lower 45 series profile than the Rogue SL/Platinum’s 55 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the CX-70 has standard 19-inch wheels. Smaller 17-inch wheels are standard on the Rogue S. The CX-70 Premium’s 21-inch wheels are larger than the 19-inch wheels on the Rogue SL/Platinum.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the CX-70’s wheelbase is 16.3 inches longer than on the Rogue (122.8 inches vs. 106.5 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the CX-70 is 4.7 inches wider in the front and 4.6 inches wider in the rear than on the Rogue.

The CX-70 has 36.2 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Rogue (141.6 vs. 105.4).

The CX-70 has .2 inches more front legroom, 2.1 inches more front hip room, 2.1 inches more front shoulder room, .1 inches more rear headroom, .9 inches more rear legroom, 2.1 inches more rear hip room and 2.2 inches more rear shoulder room than the Rogue.

The CX-70 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the Rogue with its rear seat up (39.6 vs. 31.6 cubic feet). The CX-70 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Rogue with its rear seat folded (75.3 vs. 74.1 cubic feet).

The CX-70’s cargo area is larger than the Rogue’s in almost every dimension:

	CX-70	Rogue
Length to seat (2nd/1st)	50.1”/97.5”	35.5”/70.5”
Max Width	49.8”	51.3”
Min Width	43.7”	43”
Height	31.6”	32.7”

The CX-70’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Rogue’s (3500 vs. 1500 pounds). Maximum trailer towing in the Nissan Rogue is only 1500 pounds. The CX-70 offers up to a 5000 lbs. towing capacity.

Standard Trailer Stability Assist on the CX-70 uses the Dynamic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The Rogue doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

The CX-70 uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. The Rogue uses a prop rod to support its heavy hood. It takes two hands to open the hood and set the prop rod, the prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

The engine in the CX-70 is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the Rogue. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

The CX-70’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Rogue’s passenger windows don’t open or close automatically.

On a hot day the CX-70’s driver can lower all the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the Rogue can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The CX-70’s standard Advanced Keyless Entry and Start allow you to unlock the doors from either front door handle, open the cargo door, and start the vehicle, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Push-Button Start standard on the Rogue only offers hands-free access for the ignition, none to unlock the vehicle. Push-Button Start is not available on the Rogue SV/SL/Platinum.

The CX-70’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Rogue’s intermittent wipers change speed with vehicle speed, but can’t turn on and off or change speed based on changing rainfall.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the CX-70 Turbo S has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Rogue doesn’t offer cornering lights.

The CX-70’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Nissan only offers heated mirrors on the Rogue SV/SL/Platinum.

The CX-70 Premium’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Rogue offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

Standard air-conditioned seats in the CX-70 Premium Plus/Turbo S keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Rogue doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

The CX-70 has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning is only available on the Rogue SV/SL/Platinum.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Mazda CX-70 has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Only the Rogue SL/Platinum offers wireless charging.

The CX-70 Premium Plus has a 115-volt a/c outlet in the cargo area, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Rogue doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
