If you’re interested in taking home a subcompact SUV that doesn’t come up short with respect to capability and cabin features, it’s hard to go wrong with the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport. Since we at Antwerpen Nissan of Clarksville believe in backing up statements with facts, we’re prepared to prove that this model is worth your consideration by putting it up against the 2021 Ford EcoSport. Call our staff to hear more details!

Safety & Entertainment

First, let’s check out some of the many innovations offered by these two rides. Since most people like to keep their phones handy when driving, the 2021 Rogue Sport offers standard Apple CarPlay®1,2 and Android Auto™1,2 integration to help you tap into your contacts, music, and other favorite apps on the go. Furthermore, thanks to standard SiriusXM®1, you’ll get to choose from over 150 channels when traveling down I-95 to ensure that boredom is kept at bay. Although the 2021 EcoSport provides these amenities, they all require an upgrade to access. To make matters worse, this Ford fails to match the Nissan regarding safety, since it lacks anything that’s comparable to its rival’s standard Rear Automatic Braking3. Clearly, the Rogue Sport is the winner when it comes to technology!

Comfort & Space

Now that we’ve covered entertainment and safety, let’s examine how these SUVs plan on accommodating your passengers and cargo. The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport quickly takes the lead in this category, as it comes standard with a 6-way manual driver’s seat that offers a bit more versatility than the 2021 Ford EcoSport’s standard 4-way manual chair. Plus, it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Nissan lets you spring for an 8-way power seat, while its competitor only offers a 6-way power version. If you plan on hauling some gear over to Fairway Hills Golf Club, then you’ll undoubtedly appreciate the Rogue Sport’s expansive 61.1 cubic ft. of maximum cargo space4, as you’ll have ample room for everything you need. Once again, the 2021 EcoSport fails to measure up, due to the fact that it only lets you stow items in 50.0 cubic ft. of total volume5

Power & Economy

At last, it’s time to line up the Nissan Rogue Sport and Ford EcoSport to see which one delivers superior specs. Thanks to the commendable capabilities of its standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, the former manages to jump into the lead with a commendable 141 horsepower and 147 lb.-ft. of torque. Its rival from Ford simply doesn’t have the strength to keep up, as its standard 1.0L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder can only muster up 123 horsepower and 125 lb.-ft. of torque. Incredibly, despite its far superior output, the Rogue Sport holds on its own regarding efficiency, maintaining 25/32/28 MPG city/hwy/combined6 with FWD, while the SUV from Ford reaches 27/29/28 MPG city/hwy/combined7

Jaelyn was great and super helpful with all the information on the car and getting me into my car in such a quick turnaround time! I also needed to update my car insurance to reflect the correct address for my bank and when I called my insurance agent Jason (the finance manager at the dealership) had already called and updated it for me. Appreciate all of the help, making this purchase stress free and easy. Customer service is 10 out of 10!

Nice and helpful

I had an amazing experience working with Manuel. When I walked in, he greeted me with a warm tone of voice and a friendly demeanor. I have many years of experience buying cars, but Manuel taught me things I never knew, and I felt much more comfortable during the process. He took his time and was patient, explaining everything step by step. I highly recommend asking for Manuel; he's truly amazing and the best!
