- This sounds like a strange match-up in the USA, but in Canada and Europe the Rogue Spoer (Qashqai) have been competing head on for quite some time.

Why compare these? A) Because I was asked to by viewers. You see, plenty of folks compare cars that are one size up/down in size. It's common to be torn between a compact and mid-size sedan so why not two crossovers? Also, the CR-V hybrid comment was filmed before the lower (39 MPG combined) numbers were known.
i like the split screen comparsion
rav 4

Normally I do too, however, it was quite annoying when he would switch sides multiple times. One minute the Rav4 was on the right, then on the left, then right, etc, etc, etc.. Of course, that's just my opinion.
We have had a Rogue Sport for a rental recently and it has been surprising. Great leg and cargo room despite being a compact crossover. We took ours on a long vacation and packed it to gills with luggage for four people, plus soft travel bags, an ice chest (centered in the backseat between people). This little crossover managed to carry it all around in comfort for us even with all that stuff. Don't let the cargo volume number scare you off, this will carry a lot more than advertised.
Speaking on performance, we have also found the 140+ HP 4 Cylinder fairly surprising (I feel it should be enough for most folks) in terms of pickup and city driving. Highway driving is good as well, with nice stability (our rental had AWD) in the rain (in our case a torrential downpour) and absolutely fantastic Blind-Spot Monitoring. What I really love about this Blind-Spot system is that Nissan mounts the visual sensors inside the car on the front driver and passenger doors right near the A-Pillars in our direct line of sight; so we can see even in rainy or snowy weather that a vehicle is near us. I am seriously surprised that other automakers don't position their systems in the same place as Nissan, instead putting these on the outside mirrors (which in bad weather you can't see very well).
Personally, We really like Nissan CVTs and this style of transmission in general. We never had an issue with it during our time with the Rogue Sport, or any other Nissan. I don't understand the vitriol directed toward the CVT I often see in comment sections regarding reviews of cars equipped with them. As for the MPGs, we saw around 35MPG in our travels, and I think this is a pretty good number over all. Lowest MPGs numbers we saw around the mid 20s at the worst. Concerning noise or other unwanted sound from the 4 Cylinder CVT combo, we didn't hear much and more often than not, just didn't notice any harsh noises. The CVT drone isn't something we heard very often even under hard acceleration, and when heard we weren't bothered by, as we are used to the way these types of transmissions work.
In conclusion, our time with the Rogue Sport was great for a compact crossover of its size, and it surprised us in many ways. The many available and standard safety features was welcome (we had the base AWD rental) and it had the emergency braking system which saved us at times in our journey, so that was a great feature to have. Since renting the Rogue Sport, we've thought about picking one up as a nice run about. I wouldn't hesitate to choose another one as a rental again, and am happy to see Nissan keep this model updated for 2020.
As for the RAV4 like Alex has, these are really intriguing and after having sat in one at our local Toyota dealer, I can see why these are the best selling vehicle in the US. Anyway, thought I would leave our experience with the Rogue Sport down here for others to read given that Alex is documenting his time with the RAV4 above.
I totally agree..picked up a 2019 Rouge Sport and was totally amazed at the quality and ride came from 2017 Escape titanium with a 2.0 litter turbo 250 HP engine ..and the Rouge seems faster ..fuel economy is way better than escape and so is the ride comfort and the seats..as for the cvt transmission.. don't let the reviews scare you ..I find it to be very responsive and smooth..
You had a rental for what, one or two weeks? Get back to us when you've talked with people whose Nissan CVTs crapped out soon after the warranty ended. There are plenty of folks to who you can talk!
@@gramateur5776 We had it for approximately a month, which was the duration of our vacation and we put over 900 miles on it during the return trip back. In addition we've had Nissans in the past (both owned and rented) and are familiar with them. I acknowledge those who have or have had issues with Nissan CVTs as not everyone's ownership experience is a positive one, but for us Nissan vehicles have been good. My initial post was not meant to downplay problems regarding anyone else's experience or interaction with such transmissions. Thank you.
@@buickboy92 If people would service the transmission every 40 thousand miles you won't have any trouble. ...My 1st rogue was a 2010 we purchase in 2009.....And when we traded it in we had 90 Thousand Miles and no trouble with the transmission. ...We now have a 2013 with 98 thousand miles and no issues with the transmission. ...Again service transmission every 40 thousand miles
I love my 2020 rouge sports!!! I do 36miles a gallon!
I will wait patiently for your Nissan Leaf versus the Toyota Tacoma!
I don't understand why you'd compare these. They're in different segments and one is a hybrid.
In Europe and other markets they are direct competitors (as I say in the video) and second, plenty of folks compare models one size up/down in the market.
Alex on Autos so if you were to compare a standard Rogue to a competitive Toyota product, what would it be?
@@gerryclark4330 We have a Rogue vs RAV4 review up also
Own 2017 Rogue Sport, pre facelift, it is great small suv. Had only one issue at 500 miles, all fixed and 12k miles later no issues at all.
Interesting comparison, though a comparison between the Rogue Sport and something like the Subaru Crosstrek would've made more sense since more people would be shopping those two against each other than they would the Rogue Sport against the Rav4.
They should have compared the Rogue hybrid with the Toyota hybrid
You pay more for the Toyota now, you pay more for the Nissan later.
And pay and pay and pay until you are sick of paying.
walking is free .......
Thanks for the Grade A content. I'm already locked in on the 2020 rav4 hybrid, but knowing you're still testing out and showing us the how-to's makes purchasing it a little easier to commit (not to mention that sweet sweet Android Auto).
Best reviewer at all time 👍
It's a close race between Alex review and Redline reviews... both are excellent
Agreed Ron. I generally watch both reviewers when they do a new car review
"of all time"
Alex, I love your channel and you're the best reviewer around, but, these two simply don't compare, two different segments for two different buyers.
Those Rogue sport (Qashqai) is everywhere in Europe. Looks and price are good, but too bad it's not that reliable, small turbo engines with high oil use, and if not manual you have a slow noisy CVT.
interesting that the qashqai in europe has much more soft plastic, especially on the lower side of the dashboard, around glove box for example
Hi, Alex. If this is the RAV4 Hybrid, that should be reflected in the title.
Love this style, Alex!!
That's one of the things I dislike about the Rogue Sport is the size which is larger than the typical sub-compact SUVs ................
The short and wide is more attractive to me and the Nissan just looks better over all for me too. It sux it's cvt and less power, with little hope Nissan's cvts improved and are not breaking too fast
Thanks for your comparison, I've been looking at both. My results: If the Rogue Sport didn't have the CVT I'd most likely go with it. I recently drove one across country and back (over 4000 miles) and it was an extremely comfortable ride for such a long drive. I'm 6', with lower back issues, and the seat was great. It hit my leg in the right spot and created no back pain. Also love the driver door armrest when cruising, very comfortable. The power was not very good on hills, but for cruising it was fantastic.. I often drive to Alaska and back via Canada and prefer a 4wd or Awd vehicle (believe Rogue has AWD too?), but there is that CVT thing. A friend's CVT broke and was expensive to repair, so.. Most likely will spend the extra for the RAV4 even though I truly loved the comfort of the Rogue Sport since I drive long distances.
I love the comparison, but I have to say that those of us considering a rav4 value its reliability and would never consider a nissan given its reliability over the years considering their premature failures of their cvt's in their rogue, sentra, and Altima models. They just dont give me the confidence needed to rely on them long term.
If it's a person who keeps a vehicle 3 to 4 years definitely the Rogue Sport save the extra cash especially if you're doing more city less highway speeds under 75 mph the fuel economy number will be better.. if these parameters don't suite then its the Rav4
These aren't even in the same class? This isn't a comparison in any useful way. The Rogue Sport was ancient and uncompetitive the day it launched.
Alex made it pretty clear at @ 0:25
@@ALMX5DP it makes no sense comparing.
@@moeanthony9308
Alex owns the Rav4 he needs to use it to justify it as a business expense
@@temur72 yep
@@moeanthony9308 well you're certainly entitled to that opinion.
Alex you were wrong about the crv hybrid saying it would have better combined mpg....
Yep. I was guessing but the numbers just came out...
Yea. It’s all due to the engine revving so high at highway speeds.
Rav4 Hybrid all day for me!
All day every day.
@TJF Denver Agreed! It's better than it used to be but is that really saying much? 🤦🏾♂️
Quality vs JUNK
The Rogue Sport is a good crossover, but the engine is the problem.
Too small and overburdened, this causes slow acceleration and poor fuel economy
Overburdened wouldnt be a term I'd use but okay.
Achilles heel off the Rogue is the s
The Achilles heel for the Rogue is the CVT... past history they very unreliable and if you do not maintain them properly they will go out around 60,000 miles
I love this ! ❤
I have nissan rogue sport.. Now its 26k with zero porblem… my
L/100km is 7.6 . its great subcombact Crossover.
So even though there is an SUV boom in Japan, Nissan still doesn't sell this vehicle on its own market. They manufacture a left-hand side already in UK.
Nissan is one strange company.
@k. 743 Juke is a piece of sh..., but I do agree with the rest.
No full-size pickups as well. Hilux comes in only one out of three cab sizes - the longest one. There are shorter versions in Australia.
Japanese sales managers are pathetic. There seems to be a big separation btwn global team and the team responsible for bringing products to Japan.
Same story with VW. They are missing some of their minivans on the Japanese market. I had VW Caddy as a company car in Europe and would buy one in Japan.
Thanks Alex.
By the way, have you done a Rav4 Hybrid vs. Ford Escape Hybrid? Or did I miss it?
Soon...
@@AAutoBuyersGuide ok thanks. Look forward to that contest 😊
I’m tight on cash so the rogue sport
I chose the Rogue Sport a few weeks ago and it has AWD, and a hell of a lot of safety features. The more that I drive it I find that I like it a lot. Also I got 3.4% financing - after I went to my bank and refinanced it.
How is it doing ? Thinking of buying a used 2021
@@SJ-qq6xu I traded it back for the regular sized Rogue, and I went back
one year for the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine. My son is a stocky young man
and he sits in the back a lot. So I decided I wanted the bigger Rogue.
I remember the Rogue Sport though, it may have been a little faster and it had All Wheel Drive. There was snow a couple times in 2021 and it had great traction.
It had a 2 liter 4 Cyl. engine that was peppy enough, especially in Sport mode.
If you're going for the 2021 I think that could be the last year Nissan makes them.
I think it's a good SUV, if you can get one for around $16,000 and 40K miles it's a good deal. I prefer not getting AWD because after 100,000 miles it could get a transmission problem but really that's based on the older Nissans, they're better since 2019.
Alex, have you come across the issue with the gas tank not filling up all the way to the top on your Rav4 Hybrid?
Thrown some 20s on that RAV4 and sunglasses 😎 DONE!
Alex , my man can you do the 2020 outlander sport
how about the Forester vs the Rogue Sport?
I'd be more interested in a comparison when they're 5 years old
One on them will never get to 5.
@TJF Denver yep
Waiting on the Kia offering. Especially the hybrid.
When is Nissan gonna redesign that Rogue already?
scaldon2 they have no money or leadership to make anything good
The Rogue or Rouge Sport?
scaldon2 when will it stop selling in the top 1-2?
@Steve Jones price and deals definitely play a role IMO as well.
Alan Bowers Nissan mixes both models and those subprime loans help sell a lot of their cars
Those manufactures & dealer discounts really crap on the resale value assuming you don't drive it until it becomes a money pit or it dies.
Get a Hyundai Tucson. Better built than a Rogue. Much better warranty too. Gas mileage is a bit lower than the rest though. So, you must ask yourself. What is right for me?
Not really it’s better than the rav4 if that what you mean
I have a rave 4 le model great gas milliage 2019 no problems yet except for rock cracked my windshield i wish they would make the glass thicker.
Have they improved reliability of the Nissan transmission ?
I was told to stay away from the Rogue.
How far can you go on a full tank of gas with the Rav4 Hybrid?
Depends if you can fill up the gas tank correctly ;)
If I'm on a budget, I wouldn't mind the Rav 4 even when it's so ugly in front. And the rest of the car seems to point towards a great workhorse.
Are there traditional automatic transmissions that try to imitate CVTs?
No, it isnt possible as automatics have actual gears.
@@ALMX5DP If they could, they would make a whooshing sound.
@@Eric_the_Hiking and the woosh would imply what? I somehow missed you trying to make some sort of 'funny' comment instead of asking a legitimate question?
Toyota wins
This looks like a mid trim Rogue Sport. This is an SV not an SL trim.
I think you mean not an S trim.
How can you drive two cars at the same time? You must be a warlock.....
so the rogue has AWD like the RAV Hybrid?
Get a Toyota or Honda
My Rogue Sport has AWD, I don't think they all do though. I drove it over 2000 miles in about 2 and a half weeks because I'm in food delivery, and I drive 33 highway miles to work. It's very comfortable and full of the modern safety stuff. It does at least 26 miles a gallon too (overall). For a $23000 dollar finance and 2 grand down I'd say it's a good deal.
rav4 won this easy with the power lifegate at the start, the slow acceleration of the sport is unacceptable these days
Well if you're not trying to race everybody the Rogue Sport is fine. When I pressed the sport mode it's way faster though, but usually I'm leaving it off I like getting good fuel economy.
The Rogue Sport is such a mediocre vehicle, that comparing against most other vehicles is not a fair fight.
Clearly the Toyota
I’d take the Nissan over the Toyota..
I will choose the Nissan Rouge Sport over the Toyota RAV4
Would you still say that today ? Thinking of buying a used rogue
I'd go with the RAV4. It's definitely BMW quality.
Toyota will whip ‘em unfortunately. :0
It's at least 4 more grand though.
Are u having the gas fill up issue on Hybrid Rav 4? It fills only 9 or so gallons due to design flaws !
Nissan is pronounced Niss An not neees an. Another brand Americans cannot pronounce! It’s Mazda not mawwwwwzzzda.
its a Rav4 hands down !
Not a better value though because it's more expensive. I have a Rogue Sport with All Wheel Drive and I'm not sorry that I didn't get a RAV 4. I only financed 23 grand, and got 3% financing - but I went to my own bank for the refinance to get it that low.
CRV Hybrid has been a failure in terms of fuel economy... When I just saw the thumbnail.. I swore it was a Nissan Sentra... and I just upgraded from a Sentra to a Rav4 due to 'issues'.... Fuel Economy.. 12/ 100/KM (no matter how fast I go on the highway) Sentra... 7.3/ 100 KM, going 145km/hr for 20 minutes Toyota Rav4..( heavier vehicle, higher vehicle )... So my change was intuitively correct.
I'd get a Sante Fe, bigger for near the same price
Well the Santa Fe is close in price to the Rav 4, but a lot more than the Rogue Sport.
@@metalmike570 rogues have nissan cvt's. For many, that is a deal breaker alone
@@edweagle Yes I realize this now; all I can do is hope that mine won't give me much problem a few years from now. I think the problem was more in the Rogues which are bigger / heavier than the Rogue Sport(s).
@@metalmike570 the tyranny in '18 and up is better then they were in previous years. But I still see mentions of them needing replacing early occasionally. Make sure tyranny oil is changed regularly
@@edweagle Yes, no problem I agree change that tranny oil as soon as it's due.
Nissan Roque Sports Car or SUV or Crossover or whatever it is with a CVT lol especially when i see paddle shifters with a CVT, freaking hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂CVT and and Sports Car should never be in same sentence! Maxima is the perfect example and total failure!!!
He said sport not sports car. It's Nissan Rogue Sport (CUV). That's a crossover utility vehicle.
I dislike both Toyota and Nissan - both are junk. Gimme Hyundai/Kia all day long.
no you....toyota is king.....
bruh hyndai and kia dont even last 30 years like toyota
Toyota is probably one of the best companies it's in my top 3 favorite brands.
You should do what your name says next time 😉
Stay quiet, Toyota and Lexus make probably the best cars for real people.
These two are not even in the same class. Why compare them.
