2021 Nissan Rogue First Drive Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Nissan's all-new Rogue doubles down on safety features, a roomy interior, standard gadgets, and a lower price point than the primary competition. The bolder exterior is a welcome change, but the real win is the Rogue's new interior which is among the best in the segment. If you're looking for a roomy, family friendly option and you don't mind giving up performance to get a good deal, this is the right CUV for you.

This guy is so thorough, researched and well spoken. Instant watch.
Truly one of the best in the business
I agree. A real professional!
@@johnburton2771 he doesn't look like he's reading, the info just flows. Not sure how he retains it all.
Definitely worth subscription👍 Many thanks for all your input goes to AlexOnAutos team👍
Winning!
No one does a better job of reviewing cars in the internet, hands down the most informative and knowledgeable person without an agenda, a must before before being any new car, keep up the amazing work
Absolutely a fantastic buy for just under $40k…my Platinum has features on it that some $80k SUV’s don’t have! Comfortable, roomy and loaded with tech and safety plus does really good on gas. The Peanut butter color interior is stunning 😍. The transmission is silky smooth, steering is easy in close quarters and just firm enough at higher speeds and maneuvers. The engine is also super smooth sounding with no shudder or vibrations. Interior cabin is extremely quiet which allows you to enjoy the excellent stereo at any volume level or converse easily at highway speeds. Tremendous value overall!!
almost end of 2020, and sheeple here are still complaining about CVT problems that were in 2013, 3 (transmission) generations ago.
They still continued after that
Nissan has the worst history on CVTs..even recent models. Therfore you are the only one without a clue.
I feel like this was enough to make it actually competitive with the CRV and RAV. Nissan did a great job refining the Rogue to fit it's strong suits: practicality, functionality and comfort. Unfortunately for Nissan, the RAV is probably going to get refreshed next year, the CRV is likely getting redesigned next year or the year after, and they don't go for competition, they go for class leading.
Even tho I have help 3 relatives purchase the current gen crv - I always liked the rogue for the larger 2nd row space. And it seems like Nissan added more safety features for the 2nd row, this would me my choice as a family vehicle. The new rav4 is so small in the 2nd row.
@@Wasabi9111 I feel like you can't go wrong with any of them, it's just up to preference. I personally lean more towards Honda if I had to pick between the three. I can't really get over the borderline bad CVTs and anemic performance in Nissan products. But I do like Nissan's seats and pro pilot assist better than the Honda line of products. Great choice either way!
Evan Condron I agreed. I convinced 3 relatives to get the 2017 crv ex. Back then it was hard to find a car for ~$26k with all the safety features and for the price, you cant beat it for the safety, practicality and reliability. I only wish this segment was more refined. Even $35k+ versions of this segment drive like an economy car.
I’d stay away from the crv. Oil dilution, transmission problems and ac compressor failures.
Q J fingers crossed! So far so good for all 3 of my relatives crv. I hope they’re reliable bc I had to convince my MIL to replace her ultra reliable 2004 rav4 for a safer 2017 crv. She didn’t want to get rid of her 2004 rav4, but it didn’t have any of the safety features that she needed.
Thanks for all the details! Can't wait to test drive this. I am planning to downsize from my 13 year-old minivan. The surround view camera, all the storage options in the cabin and the configurable cargo space are all huge pluses in my book. I really want something that is fuel efficient so I am willing to forego some acceleration speed. The backseat looks spacious enough for my teenager as compared to the RAV4, which does not. I really love the storage space underneath the cup holders too.
Disappointed that Nissan didn’t add ventilated seats in the top trim 😑
Me toooo
It's not a luxury vehicle at the end of the day.
@@CommandoMaster cheaper cars offer ventilated seats, so it’s not really a luxury nowadays, just as heated seats being so common
I'm very glad they went for better driving dynamics over the 2nd generation. I'm driving a 1st generation Rogue and the drop in overall dynamics with the shift towards comfort on the 2nd gen was annoying to me. I am curious to hear your thoughts on why C&D is publishing a 0-60 time of 8.2. As much as I'd love to believe the 8.2 I'm far more inclined to trust your numbers.
I like it's looks. 100x nicer than the last one. With the other credential, Looks like a very sensible car to buy.
Ok with the speed Alex speaks, there are bound to be bloopers. Blooper vids please.
0-60 can not be an issue in this segment few secs more or less can not be the criteria in this class, here what counts more is reliability and durability and the Rav4 with the CRV can not be beaten and besides these 2 are looking in their current versions exactly so appealing as this Rogue.
I'm very curious as to how the platinum trim compares to the 2.4L version of the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited.
This is the best looking suv in the segment imo.
The CVT is THE deal breaker!
Great attention to detail in this review.
This is a professional presentation 👍 like this
Great vehicle although buying anything over than the Base model just doesn't makes sense price wise.
Very well equipped! However new front end looks like a Hyundai. Very good review!
0-60 is 8.2s on Rogue
0-60 is 8.3s on Rav4
FYI
CVT = No.
Then go look elsewhere!
The Rogue is finally better than or equal to the Altima. When I car shopped in 2016 the Rogue was a turd when you tested it side by side with the Altima.
Over 9 secs 0-60... hope owners live in a city with nice people who let them merge
i want it in bright light blue with all-wheel drive and a V8
I wonder how it would do with that new 9 speed they have in their roster instead of the CVT.
Well when you start to go 8+ gears, you’re better off going full CVT. Nissan engineers know what they’re doing
@@bradcast2967 you're never better off going cvt... They're junk
@@jessebrinker3706 which is why all these automakers that have 9-speeds are having issues finding the right gear. Gtfo you know nothing about advanced engineering. A CVT will get you better gas mileage and be quicker from a dig
Someone had their coffee! ;)
Excellent review But. Talking too fast. Slow down on next video
That shifter looked really flimsy.
Beware the extremely expensive cvt time bomb after warranty expires.
Still with a crappy CVT. I really wish they’d offer a regular transmission
CVT has improved vastly over the year. Especially pair with 3.5 engine, they are pretty reliable from my personal experience. If you don't like it, shop somewhere else! They are here to stay whether you like it or not.
Asid Mohammad I have a Nissan Murano has my daily, and a BMW as my weekend car. I will say that there isn’t really a comparison between a CVT and an 8 speed transmission. Unless they have a launch gear, they suck off the line and feel sluggish. That’s just my opinion. I know they aren’t going anywhere
I literally laughed out loud when I saw the stuffed dog in the kennel. Great visual!!!
Wished they offered a hybrid option. Otherwise it looks good.
I like the new Nissan Rogue but still missing only one thing: 9-speed direct shift w/ torque converter automatic transmission.
Thank you, great review 👍
Great new look and quilted leather seats
Like the new Sentra, the CVT and lack of power will keep this from the podium in its class.
Exactly. The new Sentra is Nissan's best looking vehicle. I also like the Maxima, but I didn't get it because I loath cvts.
I'll take the old 6 speed auto trans over the CVT anytime.
It's a beautiful and rugged SUV that will not last long.
CVT = dealbreaker
Shame to put so much effort into the redesign, and leave the powertrain so lackluster. Add in zero option for an optional upgrade, and has me skipping over this test drive when buying a new CUV. Not all of us just want a cheap lease that the Rogue offers.
@@chigasaki06
But Maxima with CVT is a driver"s car and drives 10 times better than Avalon.
@@troyx0 I think nissan cvt has broken your spirit man. Try honda or toyota when it comes to cvt. Most manufacturers now do turbo or non turbo. Personally I like non turbo for long term ownership but sadly you can't run away from cvt. Manuals are good but in american big cities on stop and go traffic for some people its a no no.
This car literally screams more engine options.
Still better than what we have in Europe. The previous gen came with a 1.6l or, if you opted for all wheel drive, a 2.0l.
Silent Refusal imagine if they put a v6 in the top trim
The only thing it screams for is the car crusher. What an abomination.
Anyone who buys this needs a COVID swab due to extreme loss of taste. What an ugly monstrosity.
@@Ficon Well, that's your opinion and fortunately we can all have our own. Imagine how boring the world would be if we all had the same taste.
imagine if these mainstream nissan products just threw a ZF transmission in them, instead of these universally-panned CVTs. Save yourselves, please Nissan! We remember the days of the manual Maxima and the Sentra SE-R! You shook the automotive world with the (now ancient) 370z and the GT-R in 2009; you clearly have so much engineering talent. Don't let the penny-pinchers ruin the brand!
amen brother👍🏾
Agreed, this car would be great if it didn't have a crappy CVT
I've had both the SE-R manual and the 2009 SE-R with a CVT - they were both great vehicles and the CVT was fine on my 2009 Sentra SE-R (which i consider to be a miracle) - but i wouldnt get one now from nissan. They've had too many business issues that i'm afraid may have trickled down and impacted their production and quality. Also, not all ZF transmissions are created equal - like the current 2015-2020 TLX v6 that has a really hesitant 9 speed ZF.
How "crappy" can these CVTs be when Nissan sells so many? I have a 2019 Rogue and once you learn how the CVT wants to be pushed, driving the thing is real easy and I average 30.2 mpg in mixed driving. I'll take the price vs. performance over being influenced by "crappy" comments any day. The only thing I wish Nissan WOULD do, is remove the fake shifts. We know it's a CVT - we don't need to be tricked into thinking it's not. It would actually perform even better if they did.
Greg Hilt I have a 2019 Altima Platinum with the VC turbo. previous to this I had a 16 and 14 model year. I live in a hilly area and travel a bit. I always take my cars for service that it required. The max miles i had was the 16 Altima had 107,000 miles when i traded it for the new one. I never had any issues and i agree with you. The CVT had a learning curve with each one and i found i never had to floor them to take off fast. Theres alot of blasting Nissan CVT but i work with people that have worse issues with there cars that arent Nissans. Nissan did have some CVT issues but that was years ago and i dont understand how people post or can compare a new redesign model & cvt to a old one and say its unreliable still? just alot of online b.s from people these days.
18:05 doesnt seem to have fake exhausts, thats a win in my book
Handsome inside and out, spacious, feature-laden, economical. A snooze to drive, yes, it could really use the 2.0 turbo, but then Nissan won't be able to point you towards the QX50. And since Rogues sell like hotcakes there's not much incentive to give it more power. If Nissan can do the same with the Pathfinder I think they'll be in decent shape to ride out this malaise they've found themselves in.
bren rob forget the turbos they need to put a na v6 in this
Naturally aspirated engines can last longer. It's more practical. Unless you're into racing.
@@allanbernabe38 True
@@brenrob7403 so r we all in agreement that they schould put a naturally aspirated v6 in dis thing
Andrew White That sure would be nice. But pigs will fly before that happens
this car looks incredible inside and out! i am thoroughly impressed. i could tell nissan worked hard on this one, you can see it in small places like the 360 camera that actually is stitched instead of placed together, and the new switchgear! i assume they developed this stuff for the ariya and just put it in here too, but i'm still surprised. hoping the issues that plagued nissan in the past stay in the past!
yoink well said
They worked hard on interior because they spent zero on upgrading engine and Jatco CVT transmission. Two pretty glaring ommisions.
@@James-il3tq didn't he say the engine was new and the cvt updated lol
Nissan amazingly elevated everything for the new Rogue. Now, it has even nicer looking interior and more advanced tech than some premium SUVs.
They forgot to elevate the CVT transmission and lacklustre engine. 2 pretty glaring ommisions.
@@James-il3tq Actually, Nissan is already on their 4th generation CVT. Transmission problems that Scotty Kilmer whines about, is old news. So stop living in the past.
Nissan CVT problems ended on the second generation. Now it's strong, powerful and more reliable
Alhassan Mashuud You're right. Haters need to update their knowledge.
I just can't understand why people hates Nissan/Infiniti
Nice vehicle but as long as they keep using that weak CVT transmission I will NEVER purchase one! Come on Nissan... let us choose what transmission we want in the trims don’t force me to only have CVT 🤮🤮🤮
Honda, Subie and Toyota used CVT but their are better.
Thank you as always for your detailed review. I am seriously considering buying this one.
IDGAF about all those tech if the actual transmission is their DAMN CVT transmission and anemic engine.... smh -_-
Some CVTs are decent like Toyota's ECVT with physical first gear and planetary gears. This Jatco CVT however has always been a poor performer along with very low reliability.
James I know but CVT is boring af to drive
@@KuyaArbee definitely doesn't feel the same as automatic transmission but fuel economy is great
Does the sunroof open? Are they planning an AWD Hybrid? Another awesome review, thank you
Got the new rav4. Now that I'm a parent it feels like Nissan did the most thorough focus group with parents and what they want. Wider door openings, less intrusive steering wheel, sun shades (my fav), that little bit more room front passenger with car seat, back door sensors, tiered cargo area... All sounds very tempting.
I noticed the "DRIVE MODE" is a switch instead of a dial. Then I saw the back door and noticed it was a front wheel model you were driving. I sell Nissans in Ohio and that was an excellent video. Very thorough.
Christopher Farley I sell Nissan in Ontario Canada. Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these this month for myself
I wouldn't have thought to put the Rogue on my shopping list for a new crossover, but this new styling has changed my mind. The comment about the comfort of the seats is a huge bonus.
Nissan seats are wonderful
inb4 all te CVT whiners
CVT's whines louder
My friends Sentra CVT blew out on him @ 59k Miles. $4k repair but Nissan barely covered it because it was just under 60k miles for warranty. Carcomplaints.com is riddled with these horror stories. Don't buy these CVTs
My friends Audi 8 speed blew out on him @ 59k Miles. $4k repair but Audi barely covered it because it was just under 60k miles for warranty. Carcomplaints.com is riddled with these horror stories. Don't buy these Autos

finally something decent from Nissan.. new interior is what we were all waiting for
And the exterior😁 cause for years they have all looked the same
Honestly, I really love how boxy/tall that front third of the car looks now. Takes me back to my Xterra days a little bit ❤️
I love this car. I think I will buy one when it is available in Europe. Is it possible to change the colors and style of the Digital LCD Tachometer?
Hopefully. I want purple & white like infinitis .
Great video. I have a Nissan Rogue 2014. Been using it for 6 years now and I haven't encountered any problem. Very reliable car!
Am I the only one who thinks front is ugly? 🤔
Yeah I'm not a fan, but the car overall is a nice buy
It's the split headlight 🤮
surprising not many ppl think its ugly~
Yes you are
CVT is still a not a chance for me. C'mon Nissan.
First time I've seen CarPlay integrated into instrument cluster. Also the RPM & Speed dials on their sides is wild lol.
J-P Fr Yeah I guess your right but I’ve never seen album art shown on cluster with CarPlay.
Forgot to mention, the acceleration is more than adequate…linear, smooth and good torque. With sport mode it is surprisingly quick and stiffens up the steering a bit more as well. I am used to Hemi V8’s and I still enjoy it’s performance.
Are you sure this rogue no problem about the cvt?Rogue problem is losing power when reach the 100,000 miles.
Nissan CVT transmissions are trash! Litterally trash! Do your research about how they're transmissions frequently break even as low at 60000milea
Just saw your TFL version of this review, great stuff Alex. However, while you are showing us the current best-selling ICE car, Sofyan is buzzing around DC riding the wave of the future in VW’s new ID.4. I know Nissan is soon to launch their own next-gen electric vehicle, maybe you’ll get your hands on that before he does!
Alex your my favorite auto reviewer by far. Love your detailed reviews but if I can ask one thing is can you give us a wide angle shot of the interior that shows us all the dash in one shot so we can get a good feel of the interior? Thank you
Hey ALEX please start adding headlight reviews on your car reviews! as well as night time reviews! and talking about the interior... how does it feel inside etc
There is no time for all of that
Thought it was a pathfinder for a second in the front lol
It would be cool to see this front end on the pathfinder. Plus, I'm sure it won't hurt to put a six speed automatic transmission in this, at least. Nissan's CVTs are one of the worst (if not the worst) in the industry when it comes to reliability.
I know it's only an aesthetic thing but I can't stand when they separate the actual headlights and the DRLs/turn signals.
Agreed.
Oh it’s just a bad trend like rolling up the bottom of our jeans. And not tying our shoe laces. This too shall pass.
Same garbage engine transmission
And lacklustre engine.
The transmission was redesigned in 2016 so it should now be reliable, not my favorite transmission on offer though.
@James - So is all the base motors in this segment, none of them are all that impressive.
Cvts are for small cars around 3000 pounds with less then 150hp period.
This new design language feels like a hit or miss. I like the Sentra but the Altima and Rogue do not look very good. This one’s side view looks like a Rav4.
Needs more engine options, needs that 2.0 vc turbo or a strong hybrid.
Hideous front end, dated,.terrible Jatco CVT and incredibly underpowered. Should sell well (being serious), sadly. It has matched the competition that will be getting a refresh..very soon which isn't saying much about the Rogue in a year. See Hyundai Tuscan
Hyundai Tucson
I really (actually) like the looks of this thing. I just wish it had more power.
I wish they'll make a hybrid version of the Rogue again.
As far as the CVT goes, that’s what warranties and extended warranties are for.
Any smart soul wouldn't even think of a Nissan.
Those detached headlights look weird to me... I feel like they don't belong to this vehicle...
I feel the separated headlights don't belong on any vehicle. 🤷🏼♂️
It looks kinda weird due to the fog lights
@@Fr00stee Those two things are the actual headlights, that's why they are so big
@@alphagoat2035 wait wtf
@@Fr00stee ikr
Why the hell would they send a champagne coloured car? Good Lord Nissan needs to tighten up
@alexonautos like to see reviews on the headlights at night
The old divide-and-hide cargo organizer was one of the best things the old Rogue had going for it; so why would Nissan reduce the number of configurations in the new one?
The divide and hide was literally the selling point for me getting my 2018 Rogue. The sales guy tried to get me to buy the sport and I said nope. I love the cargo space and different space options. Why in the world would they take that away? I was in an accident in June and my Rogue was totaled. I wanted the 2021 but now I'm not so sure...
Come on Nissan, bring back the XTerra. You know you want to.
Damm bro I forgot about the xterra
Xterra*
No one buy them that's why the XTerra is dead.
Great review! Now I'm even more anxious to pick up our new blue SV when it arrives at the dealer this fall. Coming off three Altimas (93, 01 and 15) and one Sentra (10), the change should be interesting. FWIW, I'd rather have a car that I can drive comfortably all day than have a "quick" 0-60 time. Cheers!
the new intro is definitely a good move...much less startling and jarring to the ears
Nissan continues to dominate in the segment with the longest running key fob.
Man no joke you saw that in the console too! I have a 2016 Infiniti QX50 and it also uses the same Fob. It does work well but damn
Finally someone on RUclips has pointed out the rear turning lights aren't LED. THANK YOU Alex and that's attention to detail #Nissan.
No complaints about the looks but really wish they added an alternative power train, especially when it’s competition all offer more speed and hybrid options. The previous gen rogue was also very buzzy under acceleration and based on the video it seems that might be better now? That would be a nice change at least.
This new Nissan Rouge SUV looks great. I don’t like the split headlight front, but it is not a dealbreaker as I would get used to it. The interior looks really nice and comfortable. Nissan has a winner on their hands with this Rouge.
Agree it looks very good, however split headlight a real breaker for me 🤮
James Yes. I could get used to it but it does ruin the look of the SUV with the split lights.
I don't understand why people that hate CVT even bother watching nissan videos.i mean it's pointless they own a big stake in Jatco the cvt is here to stay all your doing is sounding idiotic!!
Amen
It's not pointless at all. Nissan's transmission cvt are so bad, that they themselves have been talking about switching to toyota transmissions soon. I look at these videos to see if they finally did it. Apparently not yet.
CVT= Crappy Vulnerable Trash
It’s an awful transmission. Nissan’s CVTs are notoriously unreliable. JATCO makes awful transmissions. People want them to start using Aisin transmissions because they’re much more reliable
My friends Sentra CVT blew out on him @ 59k Miles. $4k repair but Nissan barely covered it because it was just under 60k miles for warranty. Carcomplaints.com is riddled with these horror stories. Don't buy these CVTs
I agree with you Alex. The new Rogue looks elegant and modern as well as more assertive.
Dealers should tell buyers how to shift use the new shift specially when putting the car in park. This kind of shifter is accident potentials.
That front end is not attractive
Alex can make a video shot of the interior from between the two front seats so that we could see the OVERALL IMAGE of the DASHBOARD.
14:26 it is
@@shuyu9015 Yes, but the dashboard shot while driving would include the road view, the frontal interior shot that we look for should be a little bit downward where it shows the car center console instead of the road view from the windscreen.
Another excellent review Alex!! I love the exterior camera work while driving. I’d love to see how you do that!
Just what I needed to know. Thanks, Alex
Looks ok, but doesn't have any standout features and technology. Add the Jatco CVT and the result is meh.
Dummy
This CUV buyer is interested in better performance, and not a droney CVT. No thanks Nissan!
Who buys a cuv for performance?
@@pawelodziomek4908 I totally do. I need the CUV to get to work in the snow. However, I want it to offer some level of performance. I drive a CX-5 currently that successfully blends the two.
@@digitaldoc100 I wouldn't call the cx-5 good at performance. I think what you mean is driving dynamics. Performance is usually related to how fast a car is
@@pawelodziomek4908 The CX-5 could be faster, bit still better than some other choices. I would have purchased the turbo version, but I needed the car in 2018, so the 2.5NA was the only engine available.
My next CUV will be a turbo for sure.
At least I don't have a CVT, and it does handle well, with nice driving dynamics. Agree that straight line performance could be improved, but overall a nice driving vehicle.
I'm seeing a lot of Hyundai in this SUV. Seems Hyundai is helping save the entire car industry.
I don’t know the Mazda CX 5 has literally been the same look since 2016
I like the cx5 but I think its 2 familiar at this point. Been looking the same for years.
@@occckid123 Looks the same, but it's better looking than most of the competition. It will go to a rwd platform for the redesign.
@@chigasaki06 that's going 2 b nice. 4 now I like the looks but its just 2 smooth all around besides the top of the nose and i just feel like they played the design 2 safe. Its like a BMW screw you can't tell which year it is lol. I love the materials inside the mazfa but don't like the design of the dash much and if they want 2 sell more they have 2 make it bigger. Not enough room inside automatically makes it a pass 4 me
@@occckid123 right
I read that they will be introducing a Rogue PHEV in a year or two - the same powertrain as the next gen Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
About total cargo seat folded ? Previous gen 70.0 cu.ft. , this one ? If this one get only 36.5 cu.ft. , seat not folded compare to the 39.3 cu.ft. of the previous gen , I guess it’ll be less big ,and that it will have come down just as for the rav4 versus its previous version.
While I agree that 0-60 times are not that important to most people in this segment, I don't know how you can deal with 0-60 times of 9 to 10 seconds. When pulling on to the highway, especially where I'm from, you just don't have a lot of space to accelerate and need to get to speed quickly at a lot of highway changeovers. So if you're going 30 around the on-ramp, and need to accelerate to 65+, the acceleration of this car would scare me.
Don't waste your money on Nissan Rogue. Nissan has HORRIBLE CVT on the market. Go with the BEST with Toyota RAV4.
When the new 2022 Hyundai Tucson comes out, it will be about the size of the Honda CRV, but "slightly" smaller than the new Nissan Rogue.
I know Nissan may never want to ditch CVTs until their EVs hit the market, but I feel a chain-driven CVT would last longer than their belt-driven one. Also, the fake vents in front encroach on the headlights space, and it spoils the look there. They also need at least one more engine as an option, probably the 2.0 from the Sentra or the Altima for those who want more power. Other than those complaints, it is a good car.
All that bla-bla stops when you start driving and realize how weak the engine is (9.2 sec to 60 ) Maybe Nissan should have used it's V-6
What the hell is that shifter. Other than that a great improvement over the last gen, except the cvt as everyone complains about. Drove a friends 2013 Sentra and it was horrid. Hope Nissans newer CVTs have improved.
