Lincoln Corsair vs Nissan Rogue: what the numbers mean
Running cost over five years: at the EPA's 15,000-mile-a-year assumption the Nissan Rogue burns about $1,800 of fuel annually against $1,850 for the Lincoln Corsair. That $50 yearly gap compounds to roughly $250 over five years and $400 over eight — often more than the price difference between two trims of the same vehicle, and the single largest running-cost line item separating these two.
City versus highway split: the Lincoln Corsair is the stronger commuter at 34 mpg city, while the Nissan Rogue pulls ahead on the interstate at 37 mpg highway. If most of your driving is stop-and-go traffic the city figure is the one to weigh; for long-distance highway mileage the reverse is true, and the two vehicles effectively swap places depending on how you drive.
Powertrain choice: the Lincoln Corsair is recorded with 4 distinct engine configurations (PHEV, SIDI & PFI, SIDI), the Nissan Rogue with 4 (SIDI, SIDI; Stop-Start, 2.5). Across 22 recorded Lincoln Corsair configurations and 56 for the Nissan Rogue, the wider the engine spread the more the real-world fuel efficiency depends on which version you actually buy, so check the specific model year and drivetrain rather than the headline number.
Drivetrain and class: the Lincoln Corsair is offered with Part-time 4-Wheel Drive, Front-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive, the Nissan Rogue with Front-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive. All-wheel drive typically costs one to two mpg combined against the same vehicle in front- or rear-wheel drive, which is worth remembering when the gap between these two is small. The EPA classes them as Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD and Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD respectively — the class drives the interior volume, cargo space and passenger space each one is measured against.
Tailpipe emissions: at their cleanest configurations the Lincoln Corsair emits 117 g/mile of CO2 versus 261 g/mile for the Nissan Rogue. Emissions track fuel consumption almost exactly, so the cleaner vehicle here is also the cheaper one to fuel.
