Compare the New 2021 Subaru Forester to the 2021 Nissan Rogue at Holmgren Subaru

MSRP and Value
The 2021 Subaru Forester comes with an arsenal of standard features and amenities, more than what the Nissan Rogue can offer with its base model. The Forester also starts at $24,795, nearly $1,000 less than the Nissan Rogue at $25,750, making it the more affordable option of the two. If you're looking for value, the Subaru Forester is the SUV for your lifestyle. It comes standard with more passenger space, standard all-wheel drive, and more towing capacity than the Nissan Rogue can offer.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
The Subaru lineup is iconic for its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, allowing you to go just about anywhere you want and handle any weather conditions that may come your way. The Nissan Rogue is more expensive than the Subaru Forester, but it doesn't offer all-wheel drive standard to its lineup - you'll need to pay over $1,000 more to equip a similar system.

Efficiency
Typically, with all-wheel drive systems, you can expect a vehicle to take a dip from an efficient performance. The Subaru Forester enjoys impressive numbers with its symmetrical all-wheel drive setup, delivering 26/33 mpg city/highway. The Nissan Rogue matches these numbers with front-wheel drive, but when equipped with all-wheel drive, it will need to stop more often for a fill-up.

KBB Five-Year Cost to Own Award
Thanks to its impressive reliability and value, the Subaru Forester earned Kelley Blue Book's Five-Year Cost to Own Award for the 2021 model year. Not only does it account for insurance costs, fuel economy, and interest rates, but it also takes note of how fast a vehicle depreciates or how much resale value your vehicle retains over the long run. The Nissan Rogue, while impressive, didn't earn this award, showcasing that it isn't recognized at holding value as long as the Subaru Forester does.
