Sportage vs Rogue: Performance
The 2020 Sportage is standardly equipped with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, while the Rogue is equipped with a nearly identical 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. Both engines work alongside an automatic and front-wheel drivetrain. However, you can opt for an intelligent all-wheel drivetrain in both vehicles for enhanced handling and control.
Unlike the Rogue, however, the Sportage offers a second optional engine. This high-performance 2.0L turbocharged engine generates an impressive 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. With this much power, you'll be able to tow 2,000 pounds when the Sportage is properly equipped. This is almost twice the Rogue's maximum towing capacity, which is 1,102 pounds.
