The 2017 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2017 Nissan Rogue. There’s a good chance that you’ve debated which of these impressive SUV options you should ultimately pursue. After all, the two nameplates are considered among the most versatile and well-versed vehicles on the market. However, when you dive into the comparisons, are they really all that similar?
As you’re about to learn… not particularly. The Cherokee’s pair of engine options provide superior power when compared to the Rogue, and this proves to be the biggest discrepancy between the two SUVs. The technological offerings are comparable, as is the interior versatility. However, drivers expect muscle from their SUV, and they’ll be sorely disappointed if they’re expecting that from the the Nissan.
Of course, it takes more than a paragraph to explain who the champion is in the battle between the 2017 Jeep Cherokee vs. the 2017 Nissan Rogue. So let’s dive in and see how these two SUVs truly stack up against each other…
The 2017 Jeep Cherokee is far and away the superior option when compared to the 2017 Nissan Rogue. Sure, the latter option does an adequate job of providing technology and cargo space, but the lack of competent engine options certainly knocks it down a peg. Therefore, the Cherokee is clearly the winner in this comparison.

Who doesn’t want some entertainment technologies included in their new vehicle? Fortunately, both the 2017 Jeep Cherokee and the 2017 Nissan Rogue provide innovative offerings that will improve the overall driving experience. Jeep’s Uconnect system connects with the Alpine Premium Audio System to deliver an unmatched listening experience, while Nissan’s touch-screen will provide similar access to applications.
Chevy’s Uconnect system is the perfect companion, whether you’re going to be relying on your Jeep Cherokee for commuting or off-roading. This technological feature provides access to a number of applications, like HD Radio or an extensive 3D Navigation service. Drivers can also connect their smartphone, allowing them to jam out to their favorite tunes (which they can appreciate via the nine-speaker, 506-watt Alpine Premium Audio System).
Meanwhile, the seven-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display provides all of the information that a driver could possibly need. Speed and fuel efficiency are obviously passed along to the driver, as are vehicle diagnostics and tire pressure updates.
Nissan’s SUV is chock full of innovative technologies that will keep drivers entertained and occupied during their journey. The available seven-inch color touch-screen provides access to a number of applications, and if drivers decide to listen to music, they can do so via the Bose audio system.
Meanwhile, drivers can also rely on the Nissan Navigation System, which relies on Google to provide directions and important points of interest, like gas stations and ATMs. The vehicle even includes Siri Eyes Free technology, meaning you can access all of these amenities without taking your eyes off the road. Meanwhile, the Advanced Drive-Assist Display allows you to monitor all of your driving habits and car diagnostics.
Since you’ve decided to pursue an SUV, you presumably are expecting the vehicle to deliver optimal power. In this case, you won’t be disappointed with either of the 2017 Jeep Cherokee’s options. The hulking engine offering provides an incredible amount of power, while the alternative delivers excellent fuel efficiency (without completely compromising muscle).
On the flip side, customers will have to settle for the 2017 Nissan Rogue’s lone engine offering. Sure, the numbers are respectable, but there’s no denying that the power specs don’t hold a candle to those produced by the Cherokee.
Jeep likes to provide its customers with options, and that’s certainly the case with the 2017 Jeep Cherokee, as the vehicle can be equipped with either of two different engine options. The 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 engine is the mightiest of the pair, as the unit is capable of pumping out 271 horsepower and 239 pounds-feet of torque. Meanwhile, for those seeking more efficiency, the 2.4-liter Tigershark Multiair 2 Engine is the perfect choice. While the 184 horsepower and 171 pounds-feet of torque leaves something to be desired, the 30 mile per gallon highway fuel efficiency will certainly be appreciated.
Drivers don’t have any engine choices when it comes to the 2017 Nissan Rogue, as the SUV is equipped with one standard unit. Unfortunately, the offering doesn’t provide much in terms of power. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine does team up with an impressive Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission, but drivers should still only expect 170 horsepower. There are a number of accompanying fuel-saving technologies, like the Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System and Eco Mode, that play a role in the impressive 33 mile per gallon highway fuel efficiency.
Nowadays, drivers rely on their SUV to help haul cargo, whether it be luggage, school projects, or any type of relevant equipment. Fortunately, that won’t be an issue with either the 2017 Jeep Cherokee or the 2017 Nissan Rogue. The vehicles provide maximum versatility, making it extremely easy to juggle multiple passengers and bulky equipment. The brands even included their own specific cargo management system to make life a whole lot more convenient.
Jeep makes it incredibly easy to fit any of your cargo into the Cherokee’s rear. Thanks to the inclusion of the 60/40 split-folding rear seats, drivers can manipulate the interior to cater to their needs. If they need to fit a certain amount of passengers and a school project, they’ll undoubtedly be able to find the proper configuration.
If drivers are looking for even more storage spaces, the Jeep Brand Cargo Management System provides a number of amenities that will make it easier to transport all of your belongings. A storage locker offers a secure place to hide those valuables, while the collapsible cooler allows you to store food and drink.
Similar to the Jeep Cherokee, drivers can also expect a whole lot of cargo room from the 2017 Nissan Rogue. The cabin can be manipulated to fit both passengers and cargo, although drivers can truly unlock ultimate cargo space by hiding the rear seats. While the vehicle typically provides 39.3-cubic-feet of space behind the second row, drivers can access a maximum 70-cubic-feet of space when that second row is hidden.
The brand also includes the Divide-N-Hide Cargo System, which allows drivers to customize their interior to cater to their cargo. For instance, a shelf system can be installed in the trunk, allowing you to separate your cargo. Meanwhile, a hidden “box” allows you to hide expensive equipment like laptops or cameras.
