The Toyota RAV4 starts out less than $30,000 but its base trim is almost $1,000 more than the Rogue and its AWD trims cost even more.
• Efficiency: Both of these SUVs share the same fuel economy numbers, but the Rogue's efficiency is aided even more by its standard aluminum wheels, which lower drag considerably and increase fuel economy over the long-term.

• Trim Levels: The Nissan Rogue comes available in only four trim levels,. Making it easy for Greenville customers to find the exact SUV they want with all the features they need.
