NEW 2021 Nissan Rogue Review - The New King of the Compact SUVs?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Spoiler Alert - Nissan has hit it out of the park with the new 2021 Nissan Rogue. Competitors in this class include the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Volkswagen Tiguan, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage.
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 207,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
I agree most people don’t change the transmission fluid, but Nissan does have a history of transmission failures even when the fluid is changed, luckily they do cover a lot of them out of warranty up to 200,000 miles, I am a mechanic and I haven’t seen a lot of failures in the Sentras as it was the rogue and the Altima’s
if u take care of it, it will take care of you :)
It the rogue that had that trans problem, my wife 2017 went out at 42k, but it was a lease, so we give it back to Nissan
@@kromahj Yeah I’ve heard so many rogues and altimas that have had the issue, but many of my friends who had them had it replaced under warranty even at 150-200k miles, so good for Nissan for taking care of a design flaw
@@nicholasbabeaux2052 yea, but cars trans shouldn't go out at low miles
What a good review... pretty honest. Smiles and impressions are authentic. It talks for itself about how good this car is.
I really love the highly elevated interior and family-friendly features.
Great review. Nice that you included the family. Looks like a very promising vehicle. May purchase one this week subject to seeing and driving.
This is a extremely well put together review. The best out there! Nice job.
Thank-you! Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Cheers!
Rav 4 way better
Thanks for this thorough review. Based on this, I'm a huge fan of this Nissan Rogue 2021 SUV now.
Hey man if you wanna get one shipped out to you please let me know! I work at Nissan lol
This is the proper review that everyone should do. Thanks for the great work.
One of the best reviews I’ve seen. I bought 2022 Nissan Rogue three weeks ago. Cute family and honest review. I just subscribed.
Thanks for the thorough review. Funny, I have seen several Y-Tube reviews of this and some of them are "meh". However I appreciate your enthusiasm for this SUV after seeing all of the enhancements. Not just the "turn and burn" aspect of the vehicle. Thank you.
Thanks!
That was the best review I've seen on the new Nissan Rouge, yet. Good job.
Old rouge looked good but this made its predecessor looked ancient!
Well explained. I just bought my 2021 platinum Rogue. Love it............
I love Nissan, and I want them to survive, but the love is shallow unless you can still say so about it 5-10 years later.
@@jaytb5815 yes, my x trail is 240000km, still going strong! love it!
@@jaytb5815 My last Rogue was 9.5 years old when I traded it in, and this one seems MUCH superior overall, so hoping for the best.
12 months later, are you still loving this car just as much? Any issues? Considering the SL Premium. Thanks from Tampa!
@@itskelseyduncan1483 no issues still loving my Rogue
I see this review fair. I bought a SV trim weeks ago by trading in a 2016 model. It is totally a new vehicle. It is like a luxury car to me in terms of both its look inside and out and its driving performance. Plus, the autonomous driving function surpasses my expectation.
How the transmission?
Great review. Your enthusiasm really makes me eager to check it out. I thought rav4 was gonna be a slam dunk but now I'll have to see rogue first. Also, you have a beautiful family! Keep up great job!
Excellent review particularly by framing it around the fact that you have a family and how it works with your family! You've earned a new subscriber!👍
Thanks!
Best car I’ve ever owned. Have the SL model and it’s a dream. Agree with pretty much your entire review.
do you still Stand by this positive review after 9 mo of driving? Considering buying an SL Premium.
@Kelsey Duncan I do. Am still loving driving it. The features are great although I don't like the sensor stuff that tells you if you're going out of lane etc, I prefer to being in control always, so have those switched off. But those features are becoming more and more standard I guess and that's no reflection on the car itself.
Only negative is that Apple Play doesn't always connect well when plugging into the usb, but that might just be my phone as well.
Apart from that, I enjoy driving whenever I'm in it and this winter has seen me use the heated steering wheel and seats a lot. I'm warm very quickly.
I just bought a new 21 Rogue SV Premium. I really like the floating console. really enjoyed this video. It was clear and highlighted many areas I had not yet learned about. Furthermore it makes me feel I made the right choice when I bought this. Thank you for this video. It is very genuine and easy to believe. Good job!! I still wish all new cars still carried CD players. You would certainly enjoy the music that I write with a CD player in the new Rogue. Of course it will take thumb drives so not all is lost. .
Superb review. Having a 2015 ST-L here in Australia ...waiting in anticipation for this model to hit our shores.
When do you think this will be available in Australia?
Still have to wait for next year I have read.
So, two weeks ago I traded my 2012 Rogue SV (with 47k miles) in for a 2021 Platinum. It was a hard decision because of the low miles and nice to not have a car payment. I also had no mechanical issues whatsoever, because I properly maintain my vehicles. But I started think about it, and when I saw the incredible upgrade in styling and features, decided to go for it. Holy Cow - this new Rogue is AMAZING!! I feel like I left behind the Fred Flintstone Mobile for the Jetson's Spaceship!!! It is truly beautiful inside and out, and I have not even taken advantage of all the features yet. I got a great deal, and could not be happier!! Definitely pulled the trigger at the right time
What do you think about the 2021 seat comfort? How does it feel compared to your previous Rogue?
I was sold on the zero gravity seat technology. But to be honest, I think I'm kinda disappointed. The seat is not soft enough, the cushions are not thick enough, and it doesn't feel like there is memory foam in it. Only looks nice due to the leather. But comfort wise, it's not much better than my 2018 Rogue.
My 2020 Civic has softer seat cushions that feel like memory foam.
@@Ian-mv4qq I personally like the seats MUCH better. But I am a firm mattress person too. Agree, no memory foam feel and they are quite "ungiving". But I like them a lot. Definitely love the look. Might take some people some time to get used to them, but once you do, I think you'd agree. But, I rarely take long trips either - that might change my mind.
@@lindab2323 yeah I love the looks so much as well, and the acceleration is just so smooth, not sure if you care about it lol...my wife actual likes it not being able to accelerate 😂
We'll see a few months, hopefully the leather and cushion break in and become softer.
@@Ian-mv4qq So funny because I feel like the pickup is just fine merging onto Chicago expressways. And that's after having a 2007 305hp Infiniti G35. Maybe I have simply forgotten???
I hope you love it!! It's such a step up.
@@lindab2323 you're right its got enough power, just not "jumpy" like my Civic Sport according to my wife.
This Rogue is the best so far and the best vehicle Nissan has made in a very long time after Sentra. It’s the best compact suv in the market. Solid, fully loaded and great value for money. Wish they had the 250hp turbo engine on it as an option. Really happy with the new direction taken by Nissan and looking forward excitedly towards the new, updated models from them.
They really seem to be kicking it up the last year with some exciting stuff coming next year as well.
I say, so long as the CVT problems are no more, and it very well might be fixed permanently now, and so long as the 3 cylinders hold up against the more concentrated power, and so long as the variable combustion system hold up, then I say yes, this might very well be better than all the other choices in this segment. CR-V is out because of its out of control theft problem and dealer arrogance. RAV4 is loud and too plastic fantastic. The VW is too anemic and also too hard plastic ish. CX-5 is too small with its tight rear legroom and silly narrow trunk and sloped and all. Also there is this hype how the CX-5 supposedly looks good, but imo it looks simple and outdated. The Rogue's front is a little too pickup truck like but otherwise it looks good from all angles. Interior is plush like the CX-5.
Thing with reviews is that Nissan gives loaners to reviewers that is always always their higher model. It doesn't let us see the regular S or SV.
Kia and Hyundai is out because of its unforgivable engine problems that is *NOT* fixed I predict. It's beyond their Theta disaster - look it up. It means the otherwise very nice Sportage, sorry to say, but it's a non starter (imo).
A really great review. The best one I've seen. You covered just about everything.
Amazing review 👏
Keep the great work..
I love how you film.. Amazing angles.
Thank you for your work
I subscribed
I just bought a 2021 Platinum Rogue as well…love it!
Cute kids and a happy family. I really like Rogue. I would be deciding between forester, rogue, and cx-5.
1st time viewer! Excellent video and review!
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to subscribe and look around! Cheers
Great video! I bought a 2021 Rogue Platinum and I'm very pleased with this vehicle!
I hope the eventually add a hybrid option and ventilated seats for the higher end trims.
As you have reviewed both, would you choose this Nissan or the Mitsubishi Outlander?
I currently have to make this decision and can't quite make up my mind.
Thanks heaps in advance...
Depends if you need a small third row or want a PHEV option. If either of those are on your list then go with the Outlander.
Could you please tell me how u felt about the cabin noise and steering / handling....Great review!
Quietest vehicle I’ve owned…35 plus! Steering is nimble and maneuvering is excellent…sport mode tightens up steering and gives a nice boost to the acceleration!
Great review the New Rogue looks amazing.
Enjoyed your review as always Brian. Would you pick this Rogue over a RAV4? Or how about the new Venza? Just curious. I really hope they can make a good hybrid version of this. Do you know if they plan to? Cheers & thank you
No way for one reason = jatco transmission
I would. Am not brand loyal
Will always pick this over a Rav4 for sure.
Rav wasn’t half as nice as the Rouge SL. So much more space in the Rogue.
I was going for a Subaru Forester and now you have me confused! LOL Great job with your reviews. I put you in the same league with Alex on Autos.
I went back and forth between the two but once I drove this- the contest was over! Lol
Brian, 2021 Rogue Platinum trim or Santa Fe Ultimate trim? the new Santa Fe is not out yet but would love your input between the two when you finally drive the new hyundai.
Nice review. Definitely the best looking Nissan now, no ugly Honda/Toyota like lines and triangles. It does look like the infinity. Any chance there is an upgraded turbo non-CVT version coming later?
Very well put together all the info..great content!
Nissan is back in the game, just waiting for Infiniti to catch up
Enjoyed your Rogue review. One Question: The lane keeping alert- Does it beep at you when you get to the lane line or does it shake the steering wheel like Honda CRV does? Thanks.
Yes it beeps and is active meaning there is feedback
so a few things I think the platinum should of had mind you I have the same exact car.
1 LED LIGHTS INSIDE (including) license
2 ventilated seats for platinum because those summer days will brutal
3 movable back seats (gotten spoiled from my old rogue )
I personally think the ctv is ok I drive with cruise control and I don't speed like I use to since my job kept me under control in that department.
Mr. Chow, You’re in Canada and we’re 40 miles northwest of Boston and are leaves are almost all gone. I have the feeling you’re Smitten with the New Rogue. It does appear nice. Remember the Telluride then the Palisade, the 2021 Sante Fe’ and then the 2021 HIghlander, your excitement has been high on all of these and now the Rogue. 😂 What was the MPG here?
It was about 26 mpg. Yes excited with all those vehicles. You forgot the RAV4 Prime. That would be my choice if you could get one, for non hybrid , this new Rogue would be my choice.
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo ! Enfin un teste avec une grosse valise ! Félicitations
Good review. Could you give me details about its roof rails as well?
What would you like to know? I didn’t pay a lot of attention to them to be honest.
I like this new Rogue but I do wonder about the long-term reliability. This thing is really nice though, it has been well designed and it looks more like a premium branded vehicle now.
It’s night and day compared to the current version. They did an outstanding job. I can’t comment on long term reliability but I do know people that have previous versions and they’re all happy with them after many miles. So many people comment about the CVT not being reliable yet not one person I’ve known have ever had a problem. Perhaps in the early days but thing s change and things and problems get sorted out.
@@EverydayReviews2022 I'm happy with mine. 2016 and so far trouble free.
I’m between the RAV4 and the Platinum, is the power train making a big difference? I drove both and you are right.. the Rogue is quiet and smoother!!! What do you think???
@@EverydayReviews2022 not so distant past. One of the guys at work had last year CVT replaced on 4 year old Sentra at about 90k miles. I told him that the CVT in Sentra is the worst ever; he said he did not know....so he found out he hard way... I hope that Nissan management learned something from their CVT debacle and the current generation was seriously revised...
Just bought this same car! Good review and loved watching your girls! My wife and I have 5 grandkids…3 are girls.
The car does look more trendy and modern relative to last generations' which is a good thing for sales.
What do you think about applying undercoat to prevent rust ? The new Cars are designed to withstand Snow and Salt, Do you see a value in applying undercoat protection?
Depends where you live. Do you have bad winters and do they use slat or a brining liquid on the streets? If so then it would t be a bad idea as salt is always the big killer.
@@EverydayReviews2022 Yeah, I am in Ontario so I better do it before winter. I wish Car companies use more aluminum than Steal!
Well done sir. Just bought the same car that you have shown. Our 3rd Rouge. 🇨🇦
Just leased the new rogue SV with premium package. She loves it (so do I ). It’s really great.
12 months later, are you still loving this car just as much? Any issues? Considering the SL Premium. Thanks from Tampa!
@@itskelseyduncan1483 hi. Yes still love it. No problems. I do regret not getting the platinum edition. It’s been a good size to cart home furniture and is very relaxing to drive on road trips. The quality has been good. My floor mats are a little over worn for it’s age but really no complaints. Gas mileage is not bad at all. 😊👍
I have a 2015 Rogue SV. Thinking about upgrading. This looks really nice
Great video! I'm torn between this, and the slightly more expensive 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe in the Calligraphy trim. This will get better mileage, but with the 2.5 turbo, and the wet DCT, the Santa Fe will be much more engaging. I currently own a 2007 Hyundai Sonata Limited that I purchased new and has only had to go to the shop for a non maintenance related issue just once when the AC compressor went out and cost me over $500 to replace; so I have been impressed with Hyundai's overall reliability. After 13 years, the engine is so quiet and smooth that I barely hear it running. That said, I'm still open to looking at other brands and vehicles, including the Rogue.
So why, why, why no ventilated seats in the platinum trim! I live in the south, and the summer is brutal with leather seats! Especially with the darker colors. Had a blue Rogue with the tan/black leather seats and even with the air on full blast took forever to cool. And yes, I always used a windshield sunscreen. I had a platinum pathfinder with the ventilated seats and it was wonderful. Traded for the better mileage with the Rogue. Worst mistake of my life. The Pathfinder could use some more updating, but if you don't mind the lower mileage it is a much more comfortable vehicle
My lease on my 2018 rouge is up this June. So yeah'p, getting another. Never had issues with this guy. Plus. I drive a bit hard too.....
How many miles does your rouge have
@@supremeetnel7707 28,000+
I love my new rogue. Nissan has done great job with this car.
Enjoyed the video. is the stop/start system defetable? thank you!
from vancouver too, im picking up brand new tomorrow =)
I was a Nissan fan, but watched from a distant, until now. I actually feel Nissan comeback will be from this Rouge, not the maxima (which I think can definitely use a change) or the altima (which I never understood, it's actually become bigger then the maxima in size - or at least that's how it looks) or the Murano (I don't know if I really like it).
I actually test drove the sv model and am really sold. But I was in the market for tech and efficiency, so I'm actually holding out for rav4 prime. I still have to test drive it.
Can you tell me why they don't use another transmission PDK, ZFs, S tronic, Tiptronic or other transmission ?
The previous version of Rogue was VFM (Value for Money) and this one price range is bang with Honda CRV and Toyota RAV 4 which will be tough to compete.
The deal breaker, the rogue. Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭. Honest review and no bias unlike other reviewers. Good job out there, ER and be safe.
I kindly want a business link up
Let's hook up +233 561 558 354
Much better styling inside and out than the new RAV-4 ......
Hi friend,
Any word on when the pathfinder will be coming out?
I enjoyed your review.
It was nice to see your family was participating in the review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you think it’s better buy then Rav 4?
I really like your review 🙌👌
Your video truly make one to go out and get a 2021 sv rouge!
CVTs are not responsive and not fun to drive. In fact, they are very confusing to drive and requires some getting used to. Also not as tough and durable as automatics. The only good reason to have a CVT is slightly better fuel economy. Not a good trade for everything you have to give up, in my opinion.
@@EpicDrew15 I do not think you actually have experience with both. Or if you do and couldn't tell the difference, that's a problem dude. When it comes to transmissions, a delay in response time is never a good thing. As for Subarus, they are fine when driven easy. When pushed, I've seen them break. Subaru seems to know this, and now they program their transmissions to cut all power when the wheels encounter a higher than normal resistance.
@@EpicDrew15 Let me ask you a question. If CVTs are so fine, then why do you not find them in top of the line luxury vehicles for the rich? Something for you to chew on.
There is one area where CVT is bad; towing. Limits for comparable vehicles with automatics are twice or more higher than for those with CVTs.
Hows the steering? Does it track straight like the t32? My new forester is all over the place so going to trade in for this.
Tracks straight. Precise steering. Weird about your Forester though.
@@EverydayReviews2022 awesome. Yep all sorts of issues with the forester. Wandering and vague steering with no centre. Multiple alignments. Lemon.
@@msmithy77 same problem with my forester absolute pain to keep it going straight.
@@Velcrochicken1 I got rid of it for a rav. Will get the xtrail when it arrives in aus.
Can you make a video on 2022 nissan frontier plz
a very good review, thanks!!
GOOD REVIEW & GREAT NISSAN.
Do you know whether this model has door ajar waring if any door is open and we try lock the doors ?
I had rogue 2020 which honk/hazard lights when I lock from remote key while all doors are closed, which helps to make sure all doors are closed. And it will not honk/hazard lights if any door is open.
Recently I bought 2021 rogue which honk/hazard lights always regardless of whether all doors are closed or not.
Great vehicle and great review.
Love this color, and I never like beige...
Agree with you on the tech and value as well as the smart looks. However, you did not comment on the ride quality which some of your fellow journalists said was too firm for its class.
I did not notice it being too stiff at all and that’s coming from a guy that likes a cushy ride. I only had it for a day though but it didn’t stand out to be too hard of a ride.
I think this one could be my next car!🤔👍
Great review. Very thorough too.
Thank-you 🙏
Difficult choice between the Rogue and Foerster.
I was going back and forth between those two abs after I drove the Rogue SL that contest was over. The Rogue had more features than the Forster limited and I liked feeling elevated in the Rogue. The video screen blows away the Forester.
Yes. Both have CVT. But Nissan has really bad past with them.
Excellent review of a good looking car.
Great review
No cooled seats in the top trim? Might as well try again.
I got the 2021 Rogue n I love it
How’s your transmission? I’m looking to get the 2021 Rogue.
Is it Launching in India
My girl just got a new Rogue SV without roof racks. She is really upset because they told her she couldn't get them with that model. Can someone tell me if they sell roof racks for the new 2021 Rogue, so I can surprise her? They made it sound like it wasn't possible.. Thanks guys...
The 2021 Nissan Rogue SV doesn’t come with the factory roof rails unless you get the premium package. Since it’s too late at this point, you can look into aftermarket crossbars. But since this car is new, you’ll want to confirm that it will fit.
Hey there great review, so in Canada the new Nissan rogue platinum is 30,000 and change, but the exact same Nissan rogue platinum in the United States with the exact same features is like 38, when factoring in the exchange rate, do you know why there’s such a discrepancy?
I’ve been debating between the 2021 Nissan Rogue and the 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The only downside for the Rogue is the lack of power, especially at higher elevations when the engine would be starving for air. The turbo charged engine is more efficient in this regard by it also adds complexity and maintenance/repair cost.
Turbo charged engines also wear out faster than non turbo engines.
This comment is a joke right ?
hi, Compare RAV4 prime to new Nissan Rogue, which one is better?
Kind of no fair since the Prime is a PHEV. If the Rogue had a PHEV, then I think I may choose that but since it doesn’t, I’d pick the Thing is though, it’s super hard to get a Prime.
Is this the same with nissan x-trail?
Bella auto...ma il prezzo?
just bought the platinum its the best
30 seconds of stopping in traffic is not enough, it should be up to 5 minutes, or make it user adjustable. I really like to adaptive speed during cursing. With my 2018 Rouge, it scared me when I cruise at 70MPH when it approached a 30MPH curve !!! As a result, I don't use the cruise function that much within the city highway.
All that space to integrate the monitor and they make it look cheap having it stick out like that, let's it down for me.
Pretty sure will have one !!
Just bought one.
How you finding it?
No vented seats for a top trim?
Reviewers always always get the Signature from Nissan.
No we are not all going for that one. Most will go for the lower cost S or SV. Honestly, I'm tired of hearing about space seats and pointless animations on the dashboard. Most of us won't see seeing this.
Please compare to Hyundai Santa Fe.
What is the minimum ground clearance, as I am getting conflicting reports from other web sites? I read that it has 8.3" minimum ground clearance, I hope that is correct as a higher ground clearance is what is needed for myself, otherwise the 7.8" minimum ground clearance of the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport will be my alternate choice, as I live in snowy rough road northeastern Ontario. Thanks!
I’m actually not sure and can’t seem to find it. Let me check with Nissan
@@EverydayReviews2022 Thanks it would be very much appreciated!
I'm going to look at SUVs over the next few days. Looking at this vehicle and the CRV, my main concern is will 3 teen size boys fit comfortably in the backseat?
Great video! Anyone knows boot space in lt???
Can a new born seat, booster seat (5 year old) and adult can sit comfortably in 2nd row ?
Yes if the adult was not in the middle.
That's the X-TRAIL in the UK
Looks like Toyota rav4?
