I owned previous generation of Rogue since 2015 , run for more than 110,000 miles. Now is still working fine. So far so good! My friend owned a Toyota Camry in 2014, run for 50,000 miles then the suspension damaged. So I believe driver more or less is a big factor to my opinion. I'll still get the new Rouge for sure! 💪
Great review, the couple comparisons are great as they give more insight. To be honest, the Rogue seems to be the better buy here. A quieter, more refined ride, better tech, more comfort and amenities and it has a larger interior. These aren't meant to be speed demons. These are family vehicles meant for commuting to drop the kids to school, go to work and pick up groceries. The Rogue just seems to be the better vehicle for that (and you get more bang for your buck). Nissan is using a more refined CVT in this, so the reliability will be much better. In the future, it would be nice if they offered the VCT engine as an option for the Rogue.
Another great comparison. You guys are killing it with all the content, it's something else. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into your reviews. They are all so informative 👌
I've owned 2 Nissan and the issues with transmission and suspension were present in both cars. It's not surprising when you mention that Nissan has CVT problem, they are famous for that.
Yeah the CVT is a bit of a weak spot for many customers. Funny enough we have a 2008 Sentra with 245,000kms and a 2018 Kicks and both transmissions have been great. The one key thing is changing the fluid every 50,000kms and each time I drained the fluid it was black and smelled burnt. Hopefully they stay running good as a replacement unit is $5,000.
Great, thorough review!! I love my Rogue Platinum. 5 months in there is nothing I don't like about it. I traded in my 2012 Rogue SV to buy it. Got a decent value on that trade too. And the panoramic roof? I never open it either. But simply with the sunshade open it is a completely different driving experience. I could not be happier. But I have been a Nissan/Infinti owner my entire life.
The RAV4's engine noise is horrendous! I've never hear a 4 cylinder engine make that much noise. I know that Toyota has a great, and well deserved, reputation for quality, but they really seem to not have the consumer in mind with this engine.
I wouldn't necessarily equate "quality" with "reliability". Toyota sells cars that have platforms that aren't really updated significantly. Toyota is a very conservative company that believes in incremental improvements on its decades-old platforms. They constantly try to perfect their old technology, but they are much more reluctant to introduce new changes that can improve the driving dynamics that could hurt their reliability scores. The result is that Toyota cars are very reliable, but the cars drive like the cars of 20 years ago. Their cars are very reliable because there are few new technologies that could break.
I own 2014 rogue select ! It worked fine no problems! And now I bought 2021 rougue SV it’s amazing ! Seats are better than luxury cars ! Smooth and very comfortable!!
I love both of them. I currently own a Rogue the CVT has been great wish they kept automatic trannies in the Nissans. Overall would buy another Rogue looks better than last two generation Rogues.
The RAV4 drives like it's a decade old, and feels kinda cheap overall. It'll probably last longer, but it definitely isn't that enjoyable to drive or own. The Rouge seems really nice, especially inside, but I still have to question that CVT. Really hard toss up. I'd wait to see how the Rouge fares reliability wise in a few years.
Great review!👍 I really like the Rogue! Like Zack mentioned, who needs a sunroof! I never open it or care for all that glass sitting over my head! I didn't get a sunroof on my new vehicle!
George, I agree - I never open it, But the driving experience with just the sunshade open is amazing. It's hard to explain if you have not experienced it, but it is one of my favorite interior features of the vehicle. One in a list of many.
Brilliant comparison that goes over the pros and cons of each car thoroughly and fairly. For me, the ideal choice would be a combination of the RAV4's exterior/reliability and the Rogue's interior/refinement but since there is no such a car, I'd pick the RAV4. Toyota has obviously chosen to invest into the engineering of the car at the expense of refinement, which is why the RAV4 has more horsepower and is using a conventional auto yet gets better fuel economy than the Rogue which has a less powerful engine and a CVT. I'd much sooner opt for a well-engineered car that will last forever, even if it's a bit noisy, rather than a more refined car that will probably need a new transmission before it hits 60k miles!
Rogue is miles ahead of the RAV4. RAV4 feels like its from a different vintage compares to its rivals, especially CX-5 and Tucson. Even though its a safe choice, Toyota needs to do a lot more to move the refresh version forward next year.
I drove both and yes, the rogue feels more comfortable, quiet, and easier to drive than the RAV4. Driving experience of Rogue is way better in my opinion. Reliability, no doubt RAV4.
I would really like to see/hear about your impressions during a night drive. How are the lighting systems on these two vehicles, especially on a dark road? What about the potential for "light pollution" created by the digital gauges and infotainment systems?
I know one way you can see headlight ratings for many cars is by typing in the cars make and model + iihs into google. For example, "Toyota Camry IIHS". There you can see all safety ratings, including headlights!
Agree!… the 3 year warranty is a ‘ deal breaker ‘ for me. If Toyota is convinced about their products durability ( which they should be) then why not just match KIA’s 7 year warranty!
Toyota all day long. I had a 2004 Tacoma for 15 years and it never gave me an issue. All I did was oil change, air filter change, brake job and tire change. Nothing else and it ran like the day I first bought it when I sold it.
I recently had an opportunity to renew my 2019 Nissan Murano lease and was sold on the Rogue but unfortunately the 2022 lease terms were only 18 months. Unacceptable in addition to the crazy prices so I bought out my Murano lease and very happy I did so
Great to see you guys again. The HABS beat the Make Beliefs and we're beating Winnipeg. Plus the weather is absolutely beautiful. And Andrea that dress is killing it! Not a fan of the CVT. But it looks like they've finally fixed the issues of the CVT and upgraded the Roque and I like the new design. I'm not a fan of the boxy look of the new Rav 4, I prefer the older one. My daughter and son-in-law have the older Rav 4 hybrid just a year before the newer model. I do like the design of the new Rogue. The Rogue interior is quite nice so much so that it's surprising how high end it really is now.
had a Nissan in Europe (manual stickshift) and CVT Rogue in Canada. I am going for the 2021 Rogue next... no issues with either car. hope it continues. And I will add, fresher look for the Rogue vs the RAV4...
Zach, what is it with sunroofs? I haven't had one in my last few cars. Before A/C became the norm I used to love warm air at my feet and fresh air coming through a tilted sunroof.
I would have compared the Rogue against the Venza if you are talking more about luxury features. This from a Rav4 Hybrid owner. ;-) Thanks for the comparison review.
@motormouth was it a conscious attempt to make this video less peppu and more serious? why does this video feel so sensitive to the current situation around the world?i love it
Great review as usual. I’m a Nissan fan. That said I think they have unfortunately already passed the point of no return and will be in real rough shape.
Hey Zack A guy in Ontario named Jollie Ollie just bought a 2021 Rubicon 4xe today I told him to watch your channel and look out for the live chat on mondays He Has 29 Subscribers He picked up the Jeep today All The best as always to you Andrea And my main man from Safeway Jack your wonderful son Great Family your very lucky Geneva on For 1/22 will you attend hopefully can can go👍✌️😀
Hey, give the Rav4 a break! Toyota's designs are always inspired by rubbermaid, so the Rav4 ain't bad already, lol. But that Rogue looks European inside and out. It's a no brainer.
@Jean Toronto Raptors Depends on the person as looks are in the eyes of the beholder. I don't really like either in the looks department that much, lol.
Great and balanced review... nice to see a couple doing a review, unique and entertaining. Apart from perceived reliability, Toyota has invested heavily in their brand reputation (pick up any marketing textbook and you'll see). Nissan makes a more trendy product that could be just as reliable, but their corporate allegiances have betrayed their success (e.g. Nissan's investment in JATCO). That being said, it looks as though Nissan is breaking out of that old mold, hence the ZF 9-speed for the Pathfinder. Based on this comparison, I would personally choose the Rogue.
The Rogue’s sub 200 hp doesn’t inspire. Pay for the top model and still get a base engine? VW does the same thing with Tiguan. I would still choose the Rogue over the RAV4.
For the price of the Rogue Platinum model, i can buy a used Lexus RX350 - that's a luxury. Toyota sells that's a fact, no matter how much Nissan throw luxury into the Rogue. There is no comparison. Even Mazda does not have CVT in the lineup. I dont know the cost difference between a CVT and an 8 Speed Auto, based on fuel econ, they r both similar on paper. I am not sure why Nissan so stubbornly sticking with this garbage CVT while they can just simply buy the 8 speed or even 9 speed from ZF if they have problems producing a reliable transmission. When factoring in depreciation and ease of selling the car post ownership, Rav always sells faster and command way higher resale value. Buying a Nissan is like throwing money down the toilet. I "may" buy a Rogue with the Rav 4 engine/8 speed auto/torque vectoring awd.
I owned previous generation of Rogue since 2015 , run for more than 110,000 miles. Now is still working fine. So far so good!

The Rogue definately wins for me. It looks gorgeous inside and out.

@@jillthompson6110 Hm, put a 2007 Camry V6 in that, that engine is soooooooooooo quiet.

Idk, both are pretty boring cars. Cx-5 drives more like a sedan but nothing special. The Germans have all of these beat.

Rav4 all day long
Nope, Rogue beats it in every category other than resale value
Nissan needs to add a Hybrid powertrain with 220+hp and I'll upgrade from my 2017 Rogue SL AWD to a new Rogue!
I am sure they will!
They had one. But I suspect they are waiting on help from Mitsubishi
Zach, what is it with sunroofs? I haven't had one in my last few cars. Before A/C became the norm I used to love warm air at my feet and fresh air coming through a tilted sunroof.
The Jatco CVT TRANSMISSION continues to be a problem for Nissan. Many consumers have issues after only logging 20,000 miles on the odometer.
I would have compared the Rogue against the Venza if you are talking more about luxury features. This from a Rav4 Hybrid owner. ;-) Thanks for the comparison review.
The Rogue and the Rav-4 have always been competitors. The Venza is more like a wagon-ish CUV (it's hard to describe, lol).
You would probably compare the Venza to the Murano.
Easy answer lease the rogue !
@motormouth was it a conscious attempt to make this video less peppu and more serious? why does this video feel so sensitive to the current situation around the world?i love it
I never use the sunroof or moon roof in any of my cars. It might just be that I'm a worry wart about UV damage to my skin though.
Lol do you black out all the other windows in your car and house then?
@@janoycresnova9156 no, but auto glass blocks UVB, just not UVA. open sunroof doesnt block either
Great review as usual. I’m a Nissan fan. That said I think they have unfortunately already passed the point of no return and will be in real rough shape.

Rav4 all the way!!
If an old Rogue is parked right next to an Outback the road looks more like a wagon when you compare it to the new one
I bought the rogue because it does not have stampeded steel suspension parts
The new CVT has a third last friction in the old one so obviously probably last longer
Rogue
the face that RAV4 is compared with SantaFe, rogue etc., makes it the best in the lot.
Would love to see the Mitsu twin compared to the Rav 4…¡
Everyone I know who had a Nissan had problems
Nissan Rogue looks better than Toyota RAV4 but costs more for repairs if goes wrong.
@Jean Toronto Raptors Depends on the person as looks are in the eyes of the beholder. I don't really like either in the looks department that much, lol.

No likie sunroof.
Close game!
Roguey
In 10 years, and 200,000 km , which vehicle will still be on the road? Toyota will be and Nissan will be scrap
First
The rogue is so ugly. Barely got an exterior upgrade.
