I agree with this assessment. The Rogue definitely wins, which is amazing considering that you didn't compare apples to apples trim levels. The Rogue SL compares to the Rav4 XLE. Then you would've had the 3-zone climate control, fog lights, memory seats and much more. Also, you mentioned that the Rav4 has the tap pad to unlock the doors, but the Rogue has keyless entry on all 4 doors, so I think that's actually more useful. Great video guys!
The RAV4 has earned a stellar reputation for quality and dependability. But it is hard to deny the above class-avg refinement, cabin appointments, and features that Rogue brings(and remember, this is just an SV Premium: There are two higher trims above it). Nissan clearly understands the heart of the class, and offering a refined and quiet driving experience will go a long way. While I will never be a CVT fan, Nissan is largely successful here because they know their target demographic will rarely floor the accelerator of the Rogue, making the CVT a non-issue. You can't go wrong with either, but having recently driven both, Nissan's attention to detail and added polish can't be ignored.
Yeah, they really nailed the quality and the details. Just looking through the window of a new Rogue I was impressed with the interior. And it’s noticeably quieter even without having the device to measure actual decibels. I think those minute details will give people the impression they’re getting more/something premium for their money. That’s what I remember feeling when my mom got her first Maxima. I thought we had come up in the world. Lol
Yeah but compare a Hybrid Limited RAV4 to a top trim rogue and it isn’t even close in anyway, the rav is objectively the better vehicle with 13 combined mpg difference and 17 city difference, much quieter cabin in hybrid, much faster, tows more, better off-road, just as much room, ev mode for camping etc, driving dynamics
@@EpicLemonMusicYeah, I drove 2023 rogue and recently switched to 2024 Rav4 hybrid..I liked rogue but nothing can beat Rav4 in its class in City driving. Excellent mpgs and much quicker and quieter experience. On highways, I like both, but slightly leaning towards Rogue.
@@spol1622 most Nissan dealerships are doing lifetime power train warranties. The nissans have so much more tech and than the Toyota’s at this point. Ive spent the last 3 years loving rav4s but just drove a 2021 rogue on a 600mile road trip. It was a base SV awd and it was so much nicer than the rav4hybrids I drove. Obviously you get better mpg in the hybrid rav but they felt cheap and the seats suck. No power passenger seat and the packages are such a scam with toyo. I honestly think we are gonna end up buying a rogue over the rav4 hybrid because it just drove better and had more tech. The seats actually lay flight too!
@Apex Lavish there is no power passenger seat on rav at any trim level. Literally nothing I said about rav was fake. It was all objective. Why are you so triggered about my choice in car? I fanboi’d over the ravs hard. Still would go with a prime if I could find one. And I’m not stoked on the reliability of Nissan cvts. But the rav seats suck. And they don’t fold completely flat, which is important to me. They def get great mpg which is half the reason I’d want a rav, but the other half they fall short on amenities.
It's satisfying to watch serious comparison, same video side by side, that takes some good planning. Something that very few reviewers can do. Good job !
The rogue is a great vehicle. The CVT that they are using nowadays are actually much more reliable than previous years. Great exterior, an even better interior, and seats that are hard to beat.
A heavily revised Armada is coming for 2022 as well as an all-new Pathfinder. And from what I'm seeing so far it looks promising especially as they're ditching the CVT for the new 9-speed auto. The interior is going to be a major step up though. Not sure if the Armada will come as so, but seeing as the Titan already now has a 9-speed...
Nissan really have been stepping up their game the past couple years, it’s not the same Nissan that people remember from years ago. Interior quality has jumped leaps and bounds and also the styling both interior and exterior has been greatly improved. If they could come up with a much more competitive powertrain and transmission combo and little better driving dynamics but keep the price competitive like they are now, Nissan would leave their shady past of quality a distant afterthought.
@@bentleysteven-leedolzadell6466 i have a 04 highlander with 220k miles running just fine with cold ac. I already took in my 2021 rouge in for problems at 13k miles. Luckly its under warranty but what am i to do when my warranty runs out? Just keep getting a new car and make more payments? Also an i3 turbo us too small for such a big car. They are trying to gwt better gas milage but its costing reliability and I didnt buy them to go fast. If i wanted that id get a sports car. Truth is nissan and honestly most newer cars are not built to last anymore
Rogue SV costs same as RAV4 or CR-V, pretty much, and you get a moonroof, quieter engine, faster acceleration, better gas mileage, better ride, and it feels the nicest all around. None beat it in terms of space either. Some complain about the CVT, except it isn't really a problem, and in fact can keep RPMs way down. So yeah, Rogue FTW. However, the jury is still out on long term reliability and depreciation. Time will tell.
yes i just got mine today and they are really comfortable. i love this nissan except that it has a common problem of ac pushing in hot air and not being cool enough but i already know what the problem is. it isnt sensing the outdoor temperature so im hoping nissan can fix that friday fast and that fixes it. fingers crossed
The Rogue is definitely a value leader but that’s it. The RAV4 is a far superior car. I would much rather pay a few thousand extra to avoid that Jatco CVT.
Not sure I'd say "far superior". The Rogue is more polished and more refined in this new generation. Plus the shift logic of the Toyota 8 speed is not the best. But the RAV4 is likely to be more reliable over the years of ownership.
Actually the Rogue is far superior to the RAV4, Rogue offers more technology, more driving assistance features, more space, more practicality, more refined and luxurious driving dynamics, better materials and more.
@@alwaysiyi272 maybe you drove the anterior gen of the Rogue, because the new one drives better, the quietness, the feeling, comfort and handling is better on the rogue in my perception.
I have a 2019 Nissan Altima. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned and i’m sure the Rogue is even better. Haven’t had problems with anything including the CVT and I just hit 85k miles on it
@@spack8505 Maybe Nissan has improved their quality if so they need to increase their warranty to reflect that. Nissan should go to a five year warranty with full bumper to bumper coverage to 50 K and powertrain to 100K.
I don't like how it looks. It looks like something that would be in 2010. I like the aggressive look of the Rav4, it doesn't look like every other crossover.
I had a 2009 Rav 4 and currently have a 2019 Atlas with a couple of others in between. Out of all of the vehicles I’ve ever owned, the Rav was the best for driving in snow (yes I’m in Canada lol). If it slipped, you literally just let off of the gas and it would straighten itself out. I can only imagine that technology would be that much better now. However I have to admit that I’ve never driving a Rogue, so I cannot compare myself. As always great comparison video, thanks guys!!
The Rogue has an excellent AWD system and active stability control and similar ground clearance to the Rav4. A poorly documented behavior (intentional) with the Rogue's AWD system is that it is 2wd ALWAYS when speed is above about 15mph. You only get rear wheel power to avoid getting stuck and to get started. I don't think most drivers would notice that deficiency with the Rogue though as you'll be hard pressed to find this mentioned in any reviews.
To be honest, when talking reliability, people rarely keep their cars long enough to even get to the point of how reliability factors. That is the kicker for me with these comments on how the go-to comment is reliability as the driving factor. That nissan has everything and looks amazing for the price point...
My thoughts are that Nissan has had some significant reliability issues, it’s just not the Nissan of years ago and it’s a CVT. There’s only one pick for the win, RAV4.
Upgraded from a 2012 rogue so to a 2021 rogue sv back in may. There or no comparison- the new rogue def has a stellar glow-up and I love driving it. Good size, all the features I want at a lower trim level… good stuff
I’m new to the channel and I really like the way you made the comparison video. I think your point system is good and you go through features side-by-side which helps the viewer. Good job, guys
Rogue deserves 1/2 point for cabin quietness. The 3dB increase by the Rav4 translates to twice as loud. Importance depends on whether you want to sit in quiet contemplation or play music or carry on a conversation. Same could be said of many of the comparison points. We each have our own preferences, likes & dislikes.
@@andybub45 you can beat Toyota Safety sense with around view monitor, rear automatic braking, all the safety and driver assistance standard in all grades, a head up display. Blind Spot alert and lane departure assistance even in the base model. Nissan safety shield on the Rogue beat the Toyota safety sense buddy! 😉
Looks like almost everyone here would go for the RAV4. Better for me because I don’t want what everyone and their mom drives. I don’t plan on keeping it for more than 50,000 miles, so I’m set. The Rogue looks more grown up and sophisticated than the RAV4. Haters gonna hate!
It is and you won’t be disappointed . Get the platinum with the reserve interior . Seats alone blow the Rav 4 out the water . You sit in a car and drive people tend to ignore how important that is.
I had 2013 nissan before , Now I switched to Toyota Rav4 2021,beacuse of transmission breakdown They have transmission problem in their most models like altima, rogue, morano ,compared to any other branded cars Generally transmission breakdown after 2 to 3 years of use in Nissan cars Im not alone telling , Ask any transmission(CVT) mechanics about which car having highest transmission problems?
just got a Rouge ...pearl white and light leather interior ..looks amazing drives like a dream . looked at the rav 4 and it didnt even come close to stlye. Rogue destroys the rav 4 .
I would still rather have the Rav4. I'm not a fan of the 2010 like styling of the Rouge, and no matter how much they update that CVT, I won't buy any vehicle with a Jatco.
I think the .5 points you awarded to the Rav 4 for towing capacity if redundant when you also gave the Rav 4 an additional full point for more horsepower.
@@iqsuperkid7523 that doesnt matter what matters is how long it lasts tell me would you rather have a non luxury car that can last or a luxury car that will last a decent amount of time then break
The rav4 is the most ugliest Car I have ever seen I swear luxurious are much better than normal car's the rouge is more quiet then the rav4 which is more better the rouge has a hidden shade on the window the rouge is soooo much bigger and the rouge has more head room and more leg room then the rav4 the rouge has a huge sunroof but the rav4 has a small sunroof the rav4 has hard plastic at the door but the rouge has soft touch leather at the door the rouge has key start but the rav4 has no key start + the rouge is much more cheaper so the rouge wins
As a victim of Nissan's crappy transmission, I wouldn't quite trust anything Nissan has to offer. I would let a few model years go by to assess the reliability of their new models.
+0,5 points maybe. Reliability is important if you’re buying these cars used after 10 years but for most people that will buy them new reliability isn’t important since most people won’t keep them long term
Car reviewers wouldn’t have much content if they didn’t base most things on cool features and performance. They choose to ignore that most people(if they’re rational) put reliability and resale in the top spots when choosing a purchase
rogue platinum looks like an audi q5 toyota is not even close. rogue has pro pilot. panoramic sun roof. 9 inch screen. digital display behind the steering wheel projector on the windshield. more luxurious interior, electronic power shift, heating in the second row of seats, air conditioning control in the rear row of seats, smart key in the 4 doors. apple car play wireless. Nissan is light years ahead of Toyota RAV4. everything mentioned Toyota does not have it
except Toyota is way more reliable.... CVT is a piece of shi*. I currently own a 2018 Pathfinder with 70k miles, I could hear something going on inside the hood. I hope it's not transmission issues.
As someone who is trying to sell a Nissan product that is just randomly giving issues (fuses) and a transmission that had to be replaced under warranty... I'd suggest saving yourself a few bucks for a wrecker in the future & get the Rav4.... The driving dynamics is really good...the engine is powerful, and if you're trying to sell it in the future or keep it forever, you won't go wrong.... Loving the Venza Hybrid as a future buy vs the RX300
The newest CVTs are a lot better in response and quality. If you want a better quality, better equipment, better tech and better practicality and comfort, go Rogue.
@@rafaelg9016 I guess you will post your number so when the transmission goes... The person following your suggestion can give you a call.... In uncertain times.. go with what's proven to work... Rav4
Rav seems to have it - especially when its historical reliability is factored in - would love to see it up against the CR-V! The comparisons are really well done - very practical & focus on what’s important to most buyers. Great job, guys - congrats on hitting 182k subs!
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 Me neither but since there's a quite a few big change happened in recent years like taking down and went after their corrupt CEO who's been cutting the cost and stealing money from everywhere to fulfil his personal lavish lifestyle, Nissan is trying to rearrange the things and fix the damages and this new JATCO is part of that revival process. I will wait for 6 months to get more reviews by the owners and NHTSA report and go for Rogue if everything checked out fine.
@@etherlords88 I would definitely wait to see how these new transmissions hold up. Jatco CVTs do not really have the best reputation for reliability in the past so I hope these new transmissions are much better.
Even the Rav4 hybrid has a eCVT transmission and not the 8 speed automatic which is stopping me to buy the hybrid version of rav4....the full gas model rav4 comes with nice 8 speed automatic transm....but then it wont be fuel efficient....i am a fan of responsive quick throttle response.....but when i test drove a rav4 hybrid it was quick too even tho its a CVT...please advise
In regards to the remote start. Not sure if the RAV4 premium package has the same setup as the RAV4 Limited. On the Limited there is remote start, however it doesn't have a designated button. I was shown the following method by the sales rep. If you push the lock button 3 times holding on the third press, the lights will flash and the Rav starts up remotely. Again not sure if the xle premium has this feature. Maybe someone could try on this level and share the results
I prefer the cvt also I have a 2020 Nissan altima Sl AWD it's great on gas for a car of its size. Traded my 17 SR for it no complaints. The Rav4 is a sweet ride though.
Buy whichever if you aren't keeping it for long, otherwise pay 2K more and buy Rav4. You will spend way more than 2K saving on repairs with Nissan. You are lucky if problem arise during warranty period but Nissan's problems will magically appear after warranty expires. It doesn't matter how quiet or newer tech Rogue has, the "average" quality between two is not even worth comparing. Fair comparison would be Nissan vs Fiat.
@@eddaggers8901 it’s definetly NOT the most important factor for a NEW car (not used). There is a reason why no car reviewer mentions reliability ever and that’s because on new cars it doesn’t matter. Most people that buy/lease new cars won’t keep them long term. Also how do you know reliability on a car that has just come out, just because it has a Toyota badge?
Four question: Which has the better drivers seat? Which has better cruise control and lane centering? Which has the better awd system ? Is the Rogue quieter than the hybrid RAV4?
What's the bad rap on cvt transmission?? I was told by nissan that as soon you have a minimal transmission issue to change the vehicle.. is this truth?
Except, any luxury car would have more powerful engine...and Rogue offers only one for the US market, while offering more engine choices in Europe. Why?
@@spol1622 right, is why I said "is like a luxury vehicle". Doesn't mean it really is. Frankly I agree and wish it did come with a more powerful engine, but for what I do and need, it's perfect and feels luxury to me:)
For fun and new age experience: Nissan Rogue 2021 For NYC taxi driving, ubering and doordashing: Toyota Rav4 any year! By the way, I saw Rogue 2021 come with digital display instead of manual gauge, what trim is that?
I had this problem with getting a Rav4 or Q3. Even though I like flashy and technology for a car, I chose Rav4 because its more reliable and doesn’t depreciate much. Nissan is just unreliable and depreciates a lot
Nissans are VERY reliable. They don't depreciate alot either. When i got a 2019 SR Altima, I traded it in in 2021. Got 25k when I paid about 28k for it in 2019.
CR-V is good but Toyota is offering more features, complimentary service and strong resale value compare to Honda. Only go through dealership loan if they offering low interest otherwise go through local credit union
Go Rogue, it offers more than the others, more tech, more practicality, more premium driving dynamics, more premium interior, more driving assistance features, more convenience and comfort features. You can check by your own and you’re going to see that actually Nissan Rogue offers a lot more.
depending on what trim you are looking for (basic, mid, fully loaded) all 3 have their differences but i would personally choose the rogue because it just seems to have more options at the lower price point, meaning it would have more going up the trims.
As they stand, the Rogue offers the most tech for the money and, for the class, a very premium interior second to only the Mazda CX-5. But test drive them for yourself. You know what suits you better than anyone here.
Rogue ends up being cheaper than rav4 & that price difference covers the maintenance. I personally hate wheels over 18" size. So, I would actually pick the rogue.
Sadly no points were given to the Rav4 for reliability, cost of maintenance and much better resale value. The Rav4 should have received at least 5 points for this which would make it a runaway in favor of the Toyota. The only way I'd ever drive a Nissan is if it was a rental or courtesy vehicle.
I agree with this assessment. The Rogue definitely wins, which is amazing considering that you didn't compare apples to apples trim levels. The Rogue SL compares to the Rav4 XLE. Then you would've had the 3-zone climate control, fog lights, memory seats and much more.

@@naveenthemachine I know!! I don’t like Nissan CVT
Even after 100K miles of usage the RAV4 holds a way stronger resale value
This is a fair and great comparison to two nice suv
I’m Toyota fan but must say Nissan done amazing job in Rouge It will give consumer hard time to choose one in between
22 more hp and 8spd conventional auto trans, made the decision for me.
Rogue deserves 1/2 point for cabin quietness. The 3dB increase by the Rav4 translates to twice as loud. Importance depends on whether you want to sit in quiet contemplation or play music or carry on a conversation. Same could be said of many of the comparison points. We each have our own preferences, likes & dislikes.
It also deserves another point for tech and driving assistance features, because it has features that the RAV4 doesn’t offer.
@@rafaelg9016 You can't beat Toyota Safety Sense.
@@andybub45 you can beat Toyota Safety sense with around view monitor, rear automatic braking, all the safety and driver assistance standard in all grades, a head up display. Blind Spot alert and lane departure assistance even in the base model.
Nissan safety shield on the Rogue beat the Toyota safety sense buddy! 😉
@@rafaelg9016 Toyotas safety systems are more refined and better all around. It may have more but they are not as good.
Looks like almost everyone here would go for the RAV4. Better for me because I don’t want what everyone and their mom drives. I don’t plan on keeping it for more than 50,000 miles, so I’m set. The Rogue looks more grown up and sophisticated than the RAV4. Haters gonna hate!
Haters are stupid.
I will go with the Nissan rogue.
Nice review guys.
Your number one fan from 🇳🇬
What’s the reason for choosing the Rogue tho
@@vvt2257 I prefer the quality of the roque. It is more luxurious
@@enabulujames7066 inside maybe but won’t last you 1/3 of the time without problems compared to the rav4
Thank you for posting. Great video.
Damn this new rouge is so nice 😍
It is and you won’t be disappointed . Get the platinum with the reserve interior . Seats alone blow the Rav 4 out the water . You sit in a car and drive people tend to ignore how important that is.
I love both of them I think I love the rogue
I have the platinum version of the Rogue! It’s awesome 😎
Same!
Rogue for me
I would absolutely pick the Rogue if it had a hybrid version. It’s 2021 Nissan get it together!!
I like this comparison videos..👍🏻👍🏻
Continue to bring this kind of reviews 😊😊
Hats off to you guys!!!
My day spent well with this amazing video😎😎
Getting ready to start on the next one today haha 😁👍
@@CarConfections waiting for next one😊
Love these comparison vids! RAV4 for me. The true automatic transmission vs the CVT should be worth 5 whole points IMHO.
Missed opportunity to say *”RAV 4 me”...*
The Rogue is more refined, more comfortable and quieter, Rogue deserves 10 points.
@@rafaelg9016 10 points right up to the point when it goes into limp mode because the CVT fails. Then you have to give them back.
Nice vidéo 👍
Rogue for me but let's see if the new Tucson can change that!
I had 2013 nissan before , Now I switched to Toyota Rav4 2021,beacuse of transmission breakdown They have transmission problem in their most models like altima, rogue, morano ,compared to any other branded cars Generally transmission breakdown after 2 to 3 years of use in Nissan cars Im not alone telling , Ask any transmission(CVT) mechanics about which car having highest transmission problems?
Thinking of purchasing a rav4 but can’t decide between the XLE or the XLE premium. What are your thoughts?
Premium
Go for Adventure model in Lunar Rock
if price isn't a problem and you plan to buy and keep it long term, get the premium.
@@Paul-bc4mm there’s the Lunar Rock color in the XLE Premium for 2021
Get the premium
just got a Rouge ...pearl white and light leather interior ..looks amazing drives like a dream . looked at the rav 4 and it didnt even come close to stlye. Rogue destroys the rav 4 .
If Nissan offers a traditional Automatic Transmission, most likely I would consider it.
You know stupid nissan vehicles have the unreliable cvt transmission. And that’s their downfall.
I would still rather have the Rav4. I'm not a fan of the 2010 like styling of the Rouge, and no matter how much they update that CVT, I won't buy any vehicle with a Jatco.
The style of the Rogue is a lot more modern and with more purposeful
@@rafaelg9016 it looks like other crossovers though. I like the Rav4's aggressiveness. But to each his own.
I think the .5 points you awarded to the Rav 4 for towing capacity if redundant when you also gave the Rav 4 an additional full point for more horsepower.
Just one thing to add, this Rogue's trim level does not come with fog lights, but the higher trims do
The only way I will drive Nissan again, if it rental car , not putting my hard earn money on junk.
Agreed
Plz do a video on Rav4 vs CRV also..
For sure!
Dont even, you know the rav4 wins
@@muratismailov3424 the rouge is more luxurious then the rav4
@@iqsuperkid7523 that doesnt matter what matters is how long it lasts tell me would you rather have a non luxury car that can last or a luxury car that will last a decent amount of time then break
The rav4 is the most ugliest Car I have ever seen I swear luxurious are much better than normal car's the rouge is more quiet then the rav4 which is more better the rouge has a hidden shade on the window the rouge is soooo much bigger and the rouge has more head room and more leg room then the rav4 the rouge has a huge sunroof but the rav4 has a small sunroof the rav4 has hard plastic at the door but the rouge has soft touch leather at the door the rouge has key start but the rav4 has no key start + the rouge is much more cheaper so the rouge wins
As a victim of Nissan's crappy transmission, I wouldn't quite trust anything Nissan has to offer. I would let a few model years go by to assess the reliability of their new models.
We’ll have to wait 5 years and see,
rav4 wil last longer +10points
+0,5 points maybe.
Reliability is important if you’re buying these cars used after 10 years but for most people that will buy them new reliability isn’t important since most people won’t keep them long term
Love you guys
Wow, Nissan really stepping up the game!
Well they been, but the only game people want them to step up is their reliability, they don't have that
Excellent comparison
It's the CVT that kills it for me.... Rav4 looks more attractive on the outside imo also. Both great vehicles nonetheless 🙂
Thank you for this informative video, wow very timely !!!
Glad you enjoyed! 👍
$2,000 on a $35,000 car is not a huge amount, especially for 10 to 20 year ownership as is normal for Toyotas.
should have done a sl rogue then the rogues margin of victory would be greater
Car reviewers wouldn’t have much content if they didn’t base most things on cool features and performance. They choose to ignore that most people(if they’re rational) put reliability and resale in the top spots when choosing a purchase
rogue platinum looks like an audi q5 toyota is not even close. rogue has pro pilot. panoramic sun roof. 9 inch screen. digital display behind the steering wheel projector on the windshield. more luxurious interior, electronic power shift, heating in the second row of seats, air conditioning control in the rear row of seats, smart key in the 4 doors. apple car play wireless. Nissan is light years ahead of Toyota RAV4. everything mentioned Toyota does not have it
Toyota is still #1!
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName yea between Mazda y Honda... rav4 looks like an ugly 2012 car
except Toyota is way more reliable.... CVT is a piece of shi*. I currently own a 2018 Pathfinder with 70k miles, I could hear something going on inside the hood. I hope it's not transmission issues.
As someone who is trying to sell a Nissan product that is just randomly giving issues (fuses) and a transmission that had to be replaced under warranty... I'd suggest saving yourself a few bucks for a wrecker in the future & get the Rav4.... The driving dynamics is really good...the engine is powerful, and if you're trying to sell it in the future or keep it forever, you won't go wrong.... Loving the Venza Hybrid as a future buy vs the RX300
The newest CVTs are a lot better in response and quality. If you want a better quality, better equipment, better tech and better practicality and comfort, go Rogue.
@@rafaelg9016 I guess you will post your number so when the transmission goes... The person following your suggestion can give you a call.... In uncertain times.. go with what's proven to work... Rav4
My 2018 Pathfinder is a POS. Stay away from cvts
Rav seems to have it - especially when its historical reliability is factored in - would love to see it up against the CR-V! The comparisons are really well done - very practical & focus on what’s important to most buyers. Great job, guys - congrats on hitting 182k subs!
I’ll take the Rogue with the updated CVT.
Let’s wait 5 years to see if they improved the CVT! Come on Nissan, make a comeback.
I don't trust Jatco CVT honestly.
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 Me neither but since there's a quite a few big change happened in recent years like taking down and went after their corrupt CEO who's been cutting the cost and stealing money from everywhere to fulfil his personal lavish lifestyle, Nissan is trying to rearrange the things and fix the damages and this new JATCO is part of that revival process. I will wait for 6 months to get more reviews by the owners and NHTSA report and go for Rogue if everything checked out fine.
@@etherlords88 I would definitely wait to see how these new transmissions hold up. Jatco CVTs do not really have the best reputation for reliability in the past so I hope these new transmissions are much better.
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName but I wonder if this new Rogue has a dipstick in CVT. My 2017 Murano does not have one...
Even the Rav4 hybrid has a eCVT transmission and not the 8 speed automatic which is stopping me to buy the hybrid version of rav4....the full gas model rav4 comes with nice 8 speed automatic transm....but then it wont be fuel efficient....i am a fan of responsive quick throttle response.....but when i test drove a rav4 hybrid it was quick too even tho its a CVT...please advise
while opening the moon roof I noticed a vulture circling over the Nissan... could that be a sign?
“Endless money pit” - Scotty Kilmer
It’s dead lol
In regards to the remote start. Not sure if the RAV4 premium package has the same setup as the RAV4 Limited. On the Limited there is remote start, however it doesn't have a designated button. I was shown the following method by the sales rep. If you push the lock button 3 times holding on the third press, the lights will flash and the Rav starts up remotely. Again not sure if the xle premium has this feature. Maybe someone could try on this level and share the results
I still don’t get the appeal of the separated headlights of the Nissan Rogue from a stylistic point.
Do you want something that looks like everything else on the road?
@@ejohnson3131 Like the Rav4 does? This looks more like an Equinox and CRV than the Rav4
@@andybub45 Looks more like a poor person’s Nissan Murano
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName Yeah the new Rouge looks like its from 2010
NISSAN!!! Awesomeeeee!
Howdy, great review as always! I actually prefer CVT’s, so I think I’ll take the Rogue!
You won't prefer Nissans CVTs after a while.
@@andybub45 Hey hater! Newest X-TRONIC CVTs are a lot better.
@@rafaelg9016 Let’s wait 5 years and see if that’s true
I prefer the cvt also I have a 2020 Nissan altima Sl AWD it's great on gas for a car of its size. Traded my 17 SR for it no complaints. The Rav4 is a sweet ride though.
@@rafaelg9016 why are Nissan fanboys so angry?
Buy whichever if you aren't keeping it for long, otherwise pay 2K more and buy Rav4. You will spend way more than 2K saving on repairs with Nissan. You are lucky if problem arise during warranty period but Nissan's problems will magically appear after warranty expires. It doesn't matter how quiet or newer tech Rogue has, the "average" quality between two is not even worth comparing. Fair comparison would be Nissan vs Fiat.
Well, I have 20 years old car. And is still running great.
What car brand and mileage on the odometer ?
Which suspension is softer ?
Nissan will never beat Toyota's reliability.
Why does Nissan Rogue sell more than the others?
@@MrReynoso562 does it prove that Nissan is more reliable than Toyota? Nah, didnt think so. CVTs are 💩
@@eddaggers8901 reliability is just one factor of buying a car.
@@kristians2704 absolutely! Not to mention it is the MOST important factor!
@@eddaggers8901 it’s definetly NOT the most important factor for a NEW car (not used). There is a reason why no car reviewer mentions reliability ever and that’s because on new cars it doesn’t matter. Most people that buy/lease new cars won’t keep them long term. Also how do you know reliability on a car that has just come out, just because it has a Toyota badge?
Four question:
Which has the better drivers seat?
Which has better cruise control and lane centering?
Which has the better awd system ?
Is the Rogue quieter than the hybrid RAV4?
If you want a 3 yr lease go Rogue, if you want 10+ yrs of ownership Rav
Going for Nissan Rogue
Put the Toyota transmission in the Nissan. Winner. Done.
Anything with a cvt should be a big red flag that it won't last lol
Ford F-150s has been using them since 19 .... lots of vehicles are switching because of weight & fuel efficiency
Yes, those Nissan Jatco cvt are pure garbage.
@@edwinrodeo Huh? Are you confusing VCT with CVT?
This is the best compare what i see!
Thanks!
Love that intro music
What's the bad rap on cvt transmission?? I was told by nissan that as soon you have a minimal transmission issue to change the vehicle.. is this truth?
Dose Nissan rogue made hybrid options?
No
The new Fully loaded Rogue is like a luxury vehicle now 👌
Except, any luxury car would have more powerful engine...and Rogue offers only one for the US market, while offering more engine choices in Europe. Why?
@@spol1622 right, is why I said "is like a luxury vehicle". Doesn't mean it really is. Frankly I agree and wish it did come with a more powerful engine, but for what I do and need, it's perfect and feels luxury to me:)
For fun and new age experience: Nissan Rogue 2021
For NYC taxi driving, ubering and doordashing: Toyota Rav4 any year!
By the way, I saw Rogue 2021 come with digital display instead of manual gauge, what trim is that?
Platinum and it has a heads up display
Rogue 54.7 db, Rav4 57.8db, but!!! rogue 6 points, rav4 6.5 points, brilliant, nothing personal!!!:))
I had this problem with getting a Rav4 or Q3. Even though I like flashy and technology for a car, I chose Rav4 because its more reliable and doesn’t depreciate much. Nissan is just unreliable and depreciates a lot
Nissans are VERY reliable. They don't depreciate alot either. When i got a 2019 SR Altima, I traded it in in 2021. Got 25k when I paid about 28k for it in 2019.
I had a Nissan and now I have a RAV4 I pick the RAV4
This rogue drives different that even the 2020 model . Nissan updated the cvt. The Rav 4 is now dated compared .
@@TRPERA I would still pick the RAV4 it looks better and it’s more luxurious
Yeah RAV4 better I got a 19 limited awd
@@irshangill7582 I got a 20 XLE
@@irshangill7582 it’s awesome
I give 10 points more to the Toyota for it reliability and resale value
How do you know reliability on a car that has just come out? Also it isn’t really Nissans fault that the used market is nicer to Honda and Toyota.
I have crv and wanna upgrade to 2020/2021.. what do you think I should go for Rav4/Rogue or CRV? Plz help!!
CR-V is good but Toyota is offering more features, complimentary service and strong resale value compare to Honda. Only go through dealership loan if they offering low interest otherwise go through local credit union
Go Rogue, it offers more than the others, more tech, more practicality, more premium driving dynamics, more premium interior, more driving assistance features, more convenience and comfort features.
You can check by your own and you’re going to see that actually Nissan Rogue offers a lot more.
depending on what trim you are looking for (basic, mid, fully loaded) all 3 have their differences but i would personally choose the rogue because it just seems to have more options at the lower price point, meaning it would have more going up the trims.
Wait for the new CRV or get new Tucson that is coming out soon, or Forester when it gets refreshed with 2.4 Turbo.
As they stand, the Rogue offers the most tech for the money and, for the class, a very premium interior second to only the Mazda CX-5. But test drive them for yourself. You know what suits you better than anyone here.
14:38 The Rogue does not beat the RAV4, what are you thinking?
Rogue ends up being cheaper than rav4 & that price difference covers the maintenance. I personally hate wheels over 18" size. So, I would actually pick the rogue.
Sadly no points were given to the Rav4 for reliability, cost of maintenance and much better resale value. The Rav4 should have received at least 5 points for this which would make it a runaway in favor of the Toyota. The only way I'd ever drive a Nissan is if it was a rental or courtesy vehicle.
You can’t say something about reliability because Rogue is a brand new vehicle.
@@rafaelg9016 very true but I won't buy a Nissan as a whole until they prove they are reliable which would take a few years before I can trust them.
The fact that the Rav4 has the hybrid model with even more added Hp and better mpg. No brainer.
At $52000? No thank you.
The Rav4 Hybrid XLE Premium is the one to buy....
