Nissan has improved their CVT over the years. There are many many Rogues on the road with that CVT in it. Also. I hear a-lot of comments about the hp, which did fine on every trip we took. We have the 2021 Platinum and it is just fine. And yes, we drove the CRV, RAV4, CX5, and the list goes on. You also have to like the other aspects of the vehicle, correct. Pound for pound the Rogue won. It’s not tue fastest off the line but I would have bought a Vette for that. It merges just fine and keeps up with traffic. And yes, I’ve owned prior Nissans with the CVT and any issue I had was not with the transmission. My 2019 Accord Sport had a camera malfunction and shut the entire car down. Oh well, if man makes it, it will break. The Rogue is a nice driving vehicle. Take one for a drive before you just talk about the CVT. Yes, it has a history but people just like to talk crap as if it has not been improved.
The new Rogue has the most responsive steering I have ever experienced in a crossover. Definitely the most fun to drive of all crossovers I test drove in the last few days.
I just upgraded from a 2012 Nissan Rogue to the 2021 rogue (same digits , nice …) and man it’s a WORLD of difference - this car really had a glow-up The interior feels premium and there’s no shortage of features. The ride is hella smooth and quiet - like zero road noise Acceleration is smooth and has a bit of power My wide as a rav4 and they’re very similar overall I would say here has a but more kick and acceleration whereas the rogue feels more premium and luxurious Love it so far !
Seems totally inoffensive in almost every way. Nissan will sell a ton of these. And THANK YOU for always reviewing stop/start systems. I would be more likely to buy one of these Rogues because it doesn't have it.
Just got a 2021 Rogue SV as a company car. Very nice interior and amazing it doesn't have a auto shut off which is a huge plus. Seats are tall and supportive, if not a tad hard on the backend for those of us who aren't well padded back there. The arm rest height with the seat at high setting is excellent as is the utility of the interior which also has a swanky appearance with decent materials. The engine has some torque off the line and the Rogue is quicker than the Honda CRV EX-L (my personal ride). True the cargo area is shorter than the Honda CRV's however the cargo tie downs are very sturdy looking. I like the 12 volt outlet in the back area. The auto steer system is still being learned and seems to not be as precise as Honda's LKAS /ACC system. The Rogue tends to tailgate under the system and does not suddenly brake hard when someone slows ahead to pull off the highway - a very annoying and dangerous trait of the CRV. All in all, a good value and a comfortable vehicle.
Great video! But I do have to respectfully disagree at 7:16. Perhaps your pre-production model didn’t have the finalized audio setup, but the sound quality in my ‘21 Rogue SV seems pretty terrific. No, it’s not quite the same as what I’ve heard in Nissan’s Bose systems over the years,, but it’s pretty close to my ear. The bass packs a very nice punch to not have a dedicated subwoofer (I’ve yet to run into any distortion issues, even at louder levels), and the mids and highs are decent enough. Again, any premium system will almost always sound superior, but I plan to keep this vehicle a very long time and have no intentions of upgrading the stock speakers. They sound that good! To anyone debating between the SV or a higher trim just for the Bose package, I personally don’t think it’s worth the upgrade. Unless you are a bonafide audiophile, you’ll really enjoy the stock system! That said, I believe the base S trim only has a four speaker system, so it very likely is worth the couple extra thousand to go with the SV - not just for audio, but also for all the other features that come along with it!
Really liked that you reviewed a trim that is probably more reflective of a volume seller. Reviewing fully loaded, top trim models really isn't providing "helpful" reviews for the vast majority of shoppers. They may be entertaining, but the differences between what a vehicle can be optioned up and what gets parked in most driveways are usually pretty different. Also, you've shared the blue thing before, and even noted that your wife has never owned a blue car, either. Good review. Thanks.
Cuts both ways though. Sometimes there's useful tech that I can't showcase (in this case configurable gauge cluster and the advanced Pro Pilot). And those technologies trickle down fast to become standard quicker than ever. Also, did I mention I've never owned a blue car?
@10:13 I've driven Rogue's for years and like you, I was shocked by the tinny hollow sound that my 2020 Rogue made when I closed the door. Apparently, Nissan added more aluminum to the Rogue over the past couple years and it's really noticeable.
With a strong product that appeals to a broad segment of the market and Nissan's notoriously easy financing this new Rogue will be a home run for sure.
Tell them the extra TP is for a food pantry. I really do buy our church pantry’s TP at COSTCO. BTW...this Rogue seems better than my 2018 RAV4. Nice job NISSAN!
That bogging 4 cylinder racket with the CVT reminds me of the groaning that my girlfriend's Outback makes, and it sends shivers up my spine. Trying to get this kind of powertrain started on a steep hill is just painful
Greetings from Russia! Good review, the author is well done! I have a previous version of the Nissan Rogue (X-trail on our market). I hope we will soon have an update in our country, too. Good luck to you!
I own the 2019 Rouge Sport SV. Honestly I think CVTs get some unjustified hate especially modern ones. I used to hate them, but for an everyday driver it's not bad at all. It's an excellent little commuter.
Um no they don't, this will need a new transmission at 50k miles guaranteed. That's how shitty Jatco CVTs are. Hell they were so bad that even CHRYSLER decided they were too unreliable!
I agree, I have a 2019 Nissan Altima and have found the transmission is much better than the 2012 Subaru Outback I used to own until 2014 when I couldn't stand it anymore. This car doesn't drone like my Outback had and feels more responsive.
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv well from my experience I haven't seen that. My mom had a Nissan Cube nearly 120k on the clock and not a single transmission related issue. I know other people who've got my same gen car and they haven't had any problems. I'm not saying their bullet proof, but they're not time bombs either.
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv Chrysler might have been better off keeping the CVT. I bought into the ZF 9speed, when trading off my Outback in late 2014 for a 2015 Chrysler 200 v6. What a complete piece of crap that car was. That 9 speed in my 200 designed and built by ZF shifted hard enough to give you whiplash. Hard enough to may me think I just dropped the transmission on some of it's shifting and yet all of the constant computer upgrades did nothing to fix. In the end for a car that only had 123k, it needed a new engine (worn cams spread metal flakes throughout engine), possible transmission, multiple electronic issues, being told that engine may have ruined the catalytic converters (it has 2), the suspension was already shot and the AC unit needed to be replaced. All told, it was going to cost nearly $18k to fix this dopey Chrysler. Yea, stick with Nissan.... I have family members with 2014 Nissan's that have well over 100k and have had no problems. Funny how I got rid of CVT vehicle because I couldn't stand it anymore, only to go to an inferior product only to go back to the CVT. I've recently celebrated a year of ownership of my Nissan because I haven't had to have the car towed annually like that Chrysler.
Seems like a fair and balanced review...but Tom, don't we see a bit of hobby horsing from the front end on those neighborhood streets? I ask as you didn't mention it.
Great review. Really like the interior design Nissan came up with and very happy to see them leave out the worthless engine start/stop feature. Shame they don't offer a sport model.
Who else saw the plastic panel move in when Tom started the car at 1:57? Being a preproduction car, should be sorted for normal consumer use (hopefully)
If you like to diy your own oil change dont forget the splash guard and the 18 plastic clips that you must remove and 2 bolts just to reach the oil plug filter no thanks or extra labor charge😂
Tom - another great review ! Thanks for this and very helpful. How would you compare this to the latest iteration of the CRV and CX5? This seems to be a better value ... but would be interested in your thoughts. I will be test driving both...
Dont buy this, it still using the same crappy CVT they have been using since 2007. Don't buy the CR-V either, the 1.5L has oil dilution issues. Only compact crossovers you should consider are the CX5 and RAV4
That's my problem with enthusiasts! "Oh the droning sound is too loud!" C'mon not every Rogue owner is gonna floor it from every stop light. General commuting and regular maintenance will keep you going for years.
Nice review how do the dimensions compare to the Rav4 and 2011 Rogue? And how tall is Tom? Was there enough leg room cause older Rogues were a bit too small inside.
Someone other than my father and I say “scoosh” ( probably misspelled that lol) And wow they put LED brake lights!!! I thought they’d cheap out like the Altima
Skosh. I always figured it was from the Japanese word sukoshi (pronounced "skoh shee") since my wife is Japanese American. Just looked it up out of curiosity. I was right.
Really enjoy your videos and the obvious production quality you put into them. Fun fact: My wife and I had never owned a blue car before either. Now we own TWO at the same time. Feast or famine I guess. Thanks!
IIRC, after your tour of Nissan factory. You said Nissan was heading in right direction. Now that it has been released. Just wondering if this was one of the vehicles you saw?
Nissan need to return the moveable rear seats from the previous model. Access to the lower floor storage area is near impossible if the boot is heavily loaded in this updated model. Nissan should not have removed the central 12v socket in this new model either.
The PR25DD engine specs I'm privy to are this- direct injected, with an electrically operated valve timing control, cooled exhaust gas recirculation, integrated exhaust manifold, mirror bore cylinder coating and, a variable displacement oil pump.There's a resin intake port that creates an air layer between the intake and head inner wall that helps keep air temperature in check. Apparently a world's first that helps to reduce knock.
We are told the car has an improved CVT design. There have been so many problems with past ones I would be hesitant to buy this one unproven. I’ll bet Nissan will sell a ton of them since many don’t know the difference between a conventional and a CVT.
I wonder how much Nissan really improved the reliability of those CVTs? I’ve heard of a lot of people with 150k + miles without any issues. They should back those transmissions with 100k mile warranty to boost confidence
i really wish those weird manufacturing faults for example that awkward looking gap from the side of the centre console, those rubbers with unfinished look closing the carpets on floors and all such things don't make it to the final consumer product. i just wish and hope it is simply a test product issue
I love supporting your channel Tom. As a long time viewer I respect your efforts when creating review content, but five ads in 13:54 minutes.good grief. Just saying.
I've done my best to locate them in a better time rather than the random position YT starts out with. If I could figure out a way to charge people $2 a year I'd do it that way. I'd make more money and everyone would be happy.
What happened if Toyota will offer 243-hp hybrid (from Highlander) in Limited/Platinum RAV4 with 36-mpg? How attractive Rogue will be in the highest trims? Sorry, I'm just speculating...
@@msmithy77 Sorry, misunderstood you. If I understand correctly, there's a center digital display that probably has a digital readout. Thought you meant a full digital display. Can't tell you for sure, check it on your test drive.
@@DrivenCarReviews I’m in aus and can’t wait for it. Went to forester from t32 and regret it. So will trade in as soon as it arrives. Hopefully it drives straight on centre like my last t32. Forester does not.
CVTs aren't good for heavy-duty towing and hauling, that's why. Frankly I'm baffled that Subaru has one in their Ascent... as cvt has no business being in such a heavy vehicle.
@@dave3682 dude I'm being sarcastic because nissan would be so good if they use a proper transmission in their midsize cars and crossovers and up. Forget the ascent nissan even has one in the pathfinder.
Nice to see Nissan on the mend from garish styling gaffes. The grille is not ginormous, the logo isn't the size of a pizza and even the awful chrome "U" grille surround is toned down slightly. Interior looks great--it won't win any awards but it's smart-looking and easy on the brain.
Cheaper to manufacture and potentially modifiable with software. The current crop is considerably better than when CVTs began to appear a decade or so ago. And while one or even 2 mpg improvement in fuel economy may not be noticeable on the road, its noticeable on the window sticker in the showroom.
I don't know if the same holds true with the Rogue, but Altimas are known to get better than EPA mileage in the real world. Reportedly +/- 40mpg isn't hard to achieve.
All the rogues have garbage sounds when closing the door. I have the previous generation as does 2 people in my family. All three trim levels sound hollow and junky
Typically I listen to music if only to test the sound system. But I do like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Hidden Brain. Those are usually on when Martin and I shoot running footage.
You say a much improved CVT? I think it's to early to say... time will tell. Can't hide the fact that I'm a hater. Regarding cars, you can't always judge a book by it's cover. Indeed it's attractive and I'm tempted, but for me, this should remain forbidden fruit.
....i hate when the drop height of these soft SUVs,...they are all walking in to STATION WAGON area,....reduced ground clearance is another disappointing area....these are not SUVs any more...Just look at old Nissan X Trails....those are still beautiful.....definitely not STATION WAGON looking
Very bland Karen&Ken mobile. Recommend leasing, not purchasing.... the JATCO CVT transmission isn't durable, towing anything isnt recommended, and Nissan resale values are abysmal.
So much want to like Nissan again. The new Z and the new Frontier are signs of a pulse and a heartbeat at Nissan. Reliability and concerns with the CVT especially keep me away. But if Nissan is really on the best side of the corner. That will change. Otherwise, Toyota and others will still get my money.
As Tom says in his video, the newer cvts are much better since they took steps to solve their friction issues. I can tell you that we see much fewer of them in the shop these days.
We drove the CR-V, Rav4, and Rogue in the same day. The Rogue was the best by far. Best seats, best tech, best ergonomics, best ADAS, best moon roof, best value. People bitch about the CVT but you will never notice it during 95 percent of daily commuting.
@@aha2727 Cause Nissan crossover drivers are complete crazies on the road, right? Come on, don't be so naive. JATCO CVTs just aren't good. Quit defending a company that doesn't care about you.
I watch his video regardless of brand or model.
His presentation is entertaining this much.

If Nissan has sold all of those Rogues over the years with a slow powertrain, why would they change it? Clearly their customers don’t care.
Very good valid point but they can close the gap in sales with CRV and RAV4 if they get 8 speed transmission
Because adding another OPTION can also attract more new buyers.
@@yalcharan They don’t need an 8-speed.

it looks like a Hyundai
and thats a HUGE compliment!
unfortunately its still a Nissan though 😔
It looks like the Nissan Juke which had the split level headlights back in 2007-2008.
Does it have a digital speedo on the lower trims?
No speedos please. No banana hammock.
No
@@DrivenCarReviews oh that’s not good :( I thought you might be able to select it and thought I saw it on another site.
@@msmithy77 Sorry, misunderstood you. If I understand correctly, there's a center digital display that probably has a digital readout. Thought you meant a full digital display. Can't tell you for sure, check it on your test drive.
@@DrivenCarReviews I’m in aus and can’t wait for it. Went to forester from t32 and regret it. So will trade in as soon as it arrives. Hopefully it drives straight on centre like my last t32. Forester does not.
Nissan did a great job on the new Rogue
Always a never to CVTs . Sorry not sorry .
CVT TRANSMISSION good luck
Just do not get the purpose of revving the shit out of the engine. You can leave that part out in future videos.
Why are they not putting cvts on their trucks and big suv? Saves them money in the long run.
CVTs aren't good for heavy-duty towing and hauling, that's why. Frankly I'm baffled that Subaru has one in their Ascent... as cvt has no business being in such a heavy vehicle.
@@dave3682 dude I'm being sarcastic because nissan would be so good if they use a proper transmission in their midsize cars and crossovers and up. Forget the ascent nissan even has one in the pathfinder.
@@dave3682 i would rather buy a mazda even though it has only a 6speed auto in this day and age.
@@evoemperor3776 next gen pathfinder is getting the new 9-speed
@@dave3682 that is more like it! Cvt belongs to scooters anyways🤣
This model goes back to its X-Trail roots. The outgoing model completely dumped the X-Trail heritage & went full soccer mum mode.
Сool!!!
No hybrid=Fail. This car is 5 years too late. I own a 2017 Rogue SL Platinum.
Nice to see Nissan on the mend from garish styling gaffes. The grille is not ginormous, the logo isn't the size of a pizza and even the awful chrome "U" grille surround is toned down slightly. Interior looks great--it won't win any awards but it's smart-looking and easy on the brain.
It's for the children. Just great.
I just tell people we're eating Mexican that night.
There's a great plastic surgeon somewhere in LA waiting to restructure the Rogue's nose
ughhhhhhh. the gas tank is still on the wrong side. otherwise I'm impressed
The least exciting SUV ever, next to a Dodge Journey. Just go with Honda, Toyota, Subaru, or Mazda.
I seriously don’t understand the purpose of a cvt. they claim it’s to improve fuel economy but it’s not even noticeable
Cheaper to manufacture and potentially modifiable with software. The current crop is considerably better than when CVTs began to appear a decade or so ago. And while one or even 2 mpg improvement in fuel economy may not be noticeable on the road, its noticeable on the window sticker in the showroom.
I don't know if the same holds true with the Rogue, but Altimas are known to get better than EPA mileage in the real world. Reportedly +/- 40mpg isn't hard to achieve.
That much toilet paper doubles the car's value
All the rogues have garbage sounds when closing the door. I have the previous generation as does 2 people in my family. All three trim levels sound hollow and junky
Yeah, even my wife looked at me after shutting the door for the first time.
Nissan built junk cars
Finally you admitted listening to NPR, fellow listener 😂
It's more or less a requirement for those living in Seattle. :)
follow the party line One Party one state ,socialist's slaughter everyone everywhere equally..
@@reserva120 Always amusing to hear the cries from the LOSERS as misguided as they may be.
Typically I listen to music if only to test the sound system. But I do like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Hidden Brain. Those are usually on when Martin and I shoot running footage.
@@DrivenCarReviews WWDTM is my favorite show
This suv is great for lease. Just don't buy it. If you ask why do your research on Nissan quality.
People love throwing money away
Still CVT transmission = crappy engine reliability
You say a much improved CVT? I think it's to early to say... time will tell. Can't hide the fact that I'm a hater. Regarding cars, you can't always judge a book by it's cover. Indeed it's attractive and I'm tempted, but for me, this should remain forbidden fruit.
....i hate when the drop height of these soft SUVs,...they are all walking in to STATION WAGON area,....reduced ground clearance is another disappointing area....these are not SUVs any more...Just look at old Nissan X Trails....those are still beautiful.....definitely not STATION WAGON looking
Very bland Karen&Ken mobile. Recommend leasing, not purchasing.... the JATCO CVT transmission isn't durable, towing anything isnt recommended, and Nissan resale values are abysmal.
CVT transmission!😝
1st
Apparently not. Try again next time.
Best car reviews out there.
So much want to like Nissan again. The new Z and the new Frontier are signs of a pulse and a heartbeat at Nissan. Reliability and concerns with the CVT especially keep me away. But if Nissan is really on the best side of the corner. That will change. Otherwise, Toyota and others will still get my money.
As Tom says in his video, the newer cvts are much better since they took steps to solve their friction issues. I can tell you that we see much fewer of them in the shop these days.
We drove the CR-V, Rav4, and Rogue in the same day. The Rogue was the best by far. Best seats, best tech, best ergonomics, best ADAS, best moon roof, best value. People bitch about the CVT but you will never notice it during 95 percent of daily commuting.
You will when it breaks down and you're stuck with the bill.
@@Lucky8s stop driving like a maniac and you will be fine
@@aha2727
Cause Nissan crossover drivers are complete crazies on the road, right? Come on, don't be so naive. JATCO CVTs just aren't good. Quit defending a company that doesn't care about you.
@@Lucky8s most of the people who drive like a normal person should, don't have problems with their transmission
@@cristianosabian6720
It's only normal people who buy Nissan's so.
