This seems to be the type of video where they rate vehicles that manufacturers are willing to send them at the time. So, if they have a video where you trying to shoot multiple cars at the same time, and the manufacturer isn’t willing to work around the media outlet’s schedule, the vehicle gets left out.
Trust me the push button gear change on TUCSON is a piece of cake after you drove more as it is like typing on your keyboard. Tested always have issue because they only have limited time driving it.
Impressive speed and efficiency from the Escape. I ended up going with a Forester for the excellent visibility and decent off-road ability. Would have bought a Bronco Sport Badlands but the Ford dealer wanted $11k more than Subaru! 😂
We invited Toyota to participate, but they did not have a RAV4 to send us that met our requirements (all-wheel-drive top trims with gas-only power; no hybrids). The Forester competed in our last two Compact SUV Challenges in 2019 and 2021 and hasn't been redesigned since, so we focused on new, previously untested SUVs.
The Mazda CX-50 is the more off-road rugged version for Mazda. They should have used the taller, smoother Turbo AWD CX-5 for this type of SUV comparison. It would have finished at or near top as it normally does.
Great review. Thanks. As other noted RAV4, Forester and CX-5 are missing. Also you may add “for family use” in the title. If not I definitely vote for CX-50. Anyway, thanks!

I have a 2023 Kia X-Pro. The drive mode, essentially Sport Mode addresses the performance issue, I’d like more HP just cause, it’s not 235 HP, but it’ll move you well. I haven’t experienced loud tire noise and I’m on I95 daily for work. True, I’m not going anywhere off road, but it’s attributes should come in handy with these NE winter snow. Good 👍🏾 Job Kia.
Why touch screen is plus and the knob and dial are not?? Knob and dial are better and safer...having your hand floating to adjust things while you driving is not the best...can't dock point from the dial..It's funny that they want a touch screen and dock point from Mazda for having a dial, but hated touch control and wanted buttons from Hyundai??
Scrolling through the different apps to get the one you want is a pain. Heard the new Lexus is now a touch screen. A Mazda salesman tried to convince me that the other car makers are going with the dial b/c it's supposedly safer-Nah didn't buy it..
You don't need to watch this video. This review basically judges all the cars based on interiors. The kia has weak powertrain, poor brakes (their words), but wound up in 2nd place. While the Mazda has the best powertrain by far, and wound up 5th.
I test drove a CX-30 and wasn't happy about the interior. When sitting in the driver's seat, it felt like everything wrapped around me and I don't like that. I kinda felt claustrophobic.
I took delivery of a 23 Rogue recently, what's impressive is how quite the cabin is even at high speeds, so much so if you're not paying attention you're way above the limit. Handling is very good. The best part is you can get a deal with the Nissan, not so much with the others. I'm leasing mine (SV model) at 380 a month WAY less than Hyundai, Ford, Kia.
When they say that the Hyundai, with it's giant slab of piano black center stack full of capacitive controls was their favorite interior that pretty much shreds their credibility for me. Why would you prefer controls that you not only can't use by feel, but are going to look dirty *constantly*? It's form > function which is not what I want from a daily driver.
Good review, I'm impress with the high quality of the Rogue. Just wondering, why don't you tested the Toyota Rav4? Not that I'm particulary like's it but, it still the best seller by far in the US and Canada...
This is not a review but a paid ad. Why not the Sportage hybrid without the off-road tires? In proper configuration is miles better than the Rogue. Also, everyone knows Nissan transmissions do not last.
We invited Toyota to participate, but they did not have a RAV4 to send us that met our requirements (all-wheel-drive top trims with gas-only power; no hybrids).
Decent review at best. For two people who don’t focus on appearance, in my opinion they put too much emphasis on looks and not enough on other more important aspects regarding these SUVs. But I agree the Nissan Rogue fits these two..

@precisionlaser2158 Yea but this test isn't about long term reliability, as mazda, Toyota, subaru would just be at the top. This comparison is talking about all of the other aspects.
I'm looking to purchase after driving my Mazda CX-5 for the last 11 years. They stole my research I am surprised to see no Subaru or Toyota on the list. Really makes me wonder when the Rogue finishers first and those others were not included. 🙉

1st place just reminds me of Big Altima Energy, 2nd and 3rd place I'll wait until they smooth out their 10 year warranty rules as it seems spotty. 4th place just looks like a VW Tiguan but more boring. 5th place it would've been more better if Mazda would make it a little bigger and it goes the same for CX-5. 6th place that car is just old like the Equinox and needs redesign.
How do you choose one of the worst riding cars as your top choice? Ride is kinda important when you're you know riding in a car. I'd get the Kia over the Nissan in a heartbeat. Btw I currently drive a 2010 Altima with a really flinty ride and had a 2018 pathfinder with the 20"' wheels for a while. So I know well how bad rides really wear on you.
We invited Toyota to participate, but they did not have a RAV4 to send us that met our requirements (all-wheel-drive top trims with gas-only power; no hybrids).
The Mazda CX-30 is kinda in it's own class. Mazda is moving towards Luxury & Performance. Where's the Toyota Corolla Cross? It will be the best in sales cuz people want Quality and Reliability.
We invited Toyota to participate, but they did not have a RAV4 to send us that met our requirements (all-wheel-drive top trims with gas-only power; no hybrids).
No way I'd buy the Nissan over some of the other's. The cvt ruins that suv. And no cooled seats on the highest trim, that's a big mistake on Nissan's part in my opinion.
Where is the Mitsubishi Outlander and Toyota RAV4 and Volkswagen Tiguan and Chevrolet equinox and Mazda cx5 and Subaru Forester and Jeep Compass and ford bronco sport and dodge Hornet and gmc terrain

@@deightons5641 I totally agree,, but all of these vehicles are as well. just curious why it was left out. Intended purpose of these is carrying family and light hauling. The Equinox has way more room and comfort than escape.
Oh wow so great 👍 and very beautiful 😍❤️ and the engine 🚂🚒 very strong and powerful for the off 🛣️ road 💪🛣️ or high way and very good design with the new 🆕 technology for the new 🆕 generation hument and very easy to drive and comfortable ❤
I'm a real problem with these guys who are doing these reviews like that I mean they're talking about car seats and everything else like that there are American people out there who just want a car for themselves and do not have kids I think they're doing an injustice to some of the SUVs because some of the Seb security just for single people
What's up with that front in that led light that goes across the front like that doesn't connect to the other headlights it's just the strip is just sitting there that's tacky

Because they always win.
@@guardrail2897 No, the RAV4 is 4 years old
Ive got a lower trim of the CX 50 and it has the 17" wheels with a lot more rubber, I think it improves that ride quality problem quite a bit!

Looking forward to a compact hybrid SUV shoot-out!
The Tucson and the Sportage use the exact same engine, yet you said completely different things about them
What year is this? No excuse for not testing the hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions of these.

Clearly this team has no idea Mazda is trying to focus on attention on the road and non-distracting touch displays.
I love how they give us useless scores but never any specs about the vehicles their comparing.
We have full reviews on each vehicle at Cars.com/news!
I want to see some long term tests on that Nissan CVT first...
3 cylinder engine with a turbo and a CVT means you wont be seeing many of them on the road after 10 years of driving.

Test drive the Mazda. If you haven’t been in one, you will be surprised by the drive feel and nicer interior.

Great video, I really think Nissan hit it out of the park with the new Rogue. They are gonna sell a lot of those!
We agree! If you're looking for a Rogue, check out Cars.com 😏
Did Nissan fix the transmission problems with the new Rogue? I know the last body style Rogue had a lot of transmission problems.
@@guardrail2897 I believe they were mostly fixed. This is a new design so time will tell but no issues to note so far

I’d only go with a Honda, Toyota or Subaru if you plan on keeping it a long time.
I'd replace ur subaru with a mazda for long term
@@EL_COMPA_DE_DUBAI Agree. Toyota and Mazda currently rule in long term reliability. Subaru and Honda are second tier.
@@EL_COMPA_DE_DUBAI Yes, Mazdas are good too!
@@0HOON0 yet Toyota has issues such as the cable corrosion on the rav4 PHEV, bz4x wheels falling off and the tundra having turbo problems
After Mazda divorced Ford and married Toyota, Mazda quality goes up.
Good review, I'm impress with the high quality of the Rogue. Just wondering, why don't you tested the Toyota Rav4? Not that I'm particulary like's it but, it still the best seller by far in the US and Canada...
Toyota probably didn't send them one at the time
Excellent comparison Thank you
Thanks for watching!
The lowest quality car came in first, while the highest quality and best selling car, the RAV 4, is not even on the list.
Wheres that Kelsey guy?
This is not a review but a paid ad. Why not the Sportage hybrid without the off-road tires? In proper configuration is miles better than the Rogue. Also, everyone knows Nissan transmissions do not last.
The Tucson limited has a volume knob on the steering wheel for gods sake.
You could call the auction Little Cars and Little Bids
I think you forgot the real 1 and 2 here Subaru Forester and Crosstrek
I like your review, well done.
Where is the Toyota RAV4? You can’t have a crossover SUV contest without the Rav4

What a condecending comment. Why dont you just call them fat and be done with it.
you folks missed the mark by a mile by not including Subaru and Toyota. Obviously you didn't want to compare your picks with the top rated makes.
Can't compare everything. They also missed GMC and Mitsubishi. The Rav4 does not compare favourably.

CVT is a no go.
Why are these tests never fair? Lol
Your comments wrt Mazda ‘touchscreen’ inaccurate - ironically it’s not distracting and safe.

RAV4 is not a compact. The Corolla Cross is and will DOMINATE in sales because of Quality. Watch the numbers come out.
@@naveenthemachine You are right. I recall it not doing well in another comparison test.

First place : CVT and 3 celindrees
The future is good...😂
yuck, no.
I don’t understand house you put the Tuscan above the CRV, it’s ugly, has horrible interior and engine.
I wouldn't buy the Rouge at all doesn't ride that well at all and it's slow.
