Crossovers vs. SUVs

What’s the difference?

Crossovers and SUVs are both utility vehicles, but there’s one big difference between them: crossovers are built on a car chassis, while SUVs have the chassis of a truck. That allows for a range of sizes and capabilities to suit different lifestyles. Consider things like size, seating, towing and fuel economy when choosing your own.

Size, storage and seating

Because they’re built on a car chassis, crossovers are more compact or mid-sized and usually seat up to five. By contrast, SUVs are on the larger side, thanks to their truck chassis. They provide more room for cargo and sizeable crews – up to seven or eight.

Towing and capability

Compact crossovers can fit plenty of gear with generous trunk space and flexible seating. If you’re looking to tow something, you’ll want a mid-size crossover or full-size SUV. While all three sizes offer all-wheel drive, off-road adventurers should consider a larger utility vehicle.

Power and fuel economy

Looking to spend less on gas without sacrificing adventure? Compact crossovers focus more on versatility and fuel economy. As you go up in size, crossovers and SUVs deliver extra horsepower for drivers who need to tow more – or take on tougher terrain.

Towing Capacity

Haul your favourite toys

The great outdoors are even greater when you can haul more gear. Rogue and Murano can each tow up to 1,500 lbs. That’s more than enough to bring along personal recreational vehicles like an ATV or jet ski. [[2087]]

Engine, Horsepower and Transmission

Muscle on demand

If power is what you’re after, Murano offers the most in our crossover lineup. Its 3.5L V6 engine generates up to 260 horsepower.

Next in line, Rogue’s 1.5L VC-Turbo engine adapts to you, churning out up to 201 horsepower, and sipping gas while you coast. If that’s more than you need, Qashqai’s 2.0L engine also packs a punch.[[1804]]

KICKS is our most compact and fuel efficient option, but its 1.6L engine still has plenty of pickup. Paired with our Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission), it seamlessly shifts between power and efficiency.

Get into the outdoors

Never leave home without four-wheel capability. Pathfinder and Armada both come with Nissan’s Intelligent 4X4 system. It automatically adjusts torque between the front and rear wheels, to help your vehicle stay on track through the twists and turns.

Hop into the Pathfinder and choose from five distinct drive modes for snow, sand and sportier handling. Its rigid chassis isolates the cabin from rugged terrain. Armada’s Snow Mode makes winter driving a breeze, while its raised ground clearance lets you tackle steeper grades.

Whichever way you go, Nissan SUVs let you breathe easy while you haul thanks to the selectable Tow Mode, which helps keep things stable.
