2021 Nissan Rogue Review // Nissan is fighting back!!

[@canadabear72]

I'm not a Nissan guy, but this is really nice!! They're gonna sell a ton of these.

[@bryanz5904]

YEAH! i am too, never thought about this band before, but this time maybe change, for the space designing and the price. i have no reason to refuse it.

[@jonnysurf6023]

I have had a Platinum for a couple months, and love it. Pearl with super black. So smooth, super high quality, a step up for sure.

[@sergiovalente3036]

I would trade my Pathfinder Platinum 2017 for this. Thank you.

[@jonnysurf6023]

@@sergiovalente3036 Have had heavy snow here in Canada (BC) and the Rogue has been amazing. Probably my favourite vehicle in the last few years. Have a great 2022!

[@gabrieledimatteo4888]

Nice review again guys... We owned a 2015 with zero issues and now own a 2020.... This new model is amazing... They have upped their game!!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yay, so happy to hear you've had a great experience with Nissan. Thank you for sharing.

[@frederickmoller]

I was looking at the Ford Bronco Sport, but now I'm leaning towards the Rogue SV AWD. I owned a 2012 Juke SV AWD for five years in northeastern Ontario where the roads are brutal in the winter. I never had 'any' problems with the CVT transmission at all, so I would purchase another one in a heart beat!

[@quantumdave1592]

Looked at Bronco Sport but the luxurious look, drive and feel of the Platinum Rogue got me! No complaints at all…buttery smooth and super quiet. Sips gas and delivers more than adequate acceleration, especially in Sport mode.

[@ervanrodgers9258]

Thanks for an excellent car review. I just bought an 2021 Rogue Platinum and we love it. You helped my decision.

[@divyedudeja8772]

Hey! Thank you for your review. I watched your review and I bought the new Rogue Platinum. thank you again. Love your reviews.

[@Motormouth...]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@rahulchandok]

You guys are my favorite. Yet another good video. However, on this one I wish you'll had spoken more on the ride quality and comfort. Thanks

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so much! There was just so much info to get out with this new vehicle. The ride is very smooth and it actually handles quite well taking corners with ease. The CVT is much better although I do understand many can not wrap their head around driving a CVT. All we can say is this CVT is quite good.The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of legroom in the front and back seats.

[@rrrogster]

I keep hearing about the overly firm ride in this new model. Why didn't this infomercial mention that? It makes me question the entire review.

[@Olexandr____]

I have Nissan X-trail 2019 - I'm loving it. I hope this car will be great next step.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Happy to hear you are enjoying your X-trail.

[@NakisaSoltanKashefi]

When comparing to Toyota or any other, please also mention the 360 cam, heads up display and the auto pilot that only Nissan has and others probably don't or you have to pay much more for them as extra. Then it would be a more fair comparison. I absolutely love Nissan exactly because of these features.

[@leemarsh9727]

Hi that flip console was first used in the peugoet 3008 in England 🇬🇧 and Europe 🇪🇺

[@jude526ify]

I traded my 18 SV in August for the 2020 SV. Got the premium package. I love my new Rogue

[@andreaspencer9813]

Awesome!

[@chrisgraydon]

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.

There is also an SL version slotted in between the SV and Platinum

Haven’t given much thought to Nissan for a while but with recent models, perhaps. But I’m really curious to see how their Ariya all EV does; totally different vehicle of course but very intriguing as to Nissan’s evolution.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you very much, glad you liked it. Yes, some pretty impressive product these days from Nissan.

[@fadeelmohammed460]

Great channel guys, I've watched a ton of your vidz. I've narrowed my 2021 choices to the; Rogue, Rav4, CRV, and the CX5. But now I'm stuck. - While the CX5 has the best body, the infotainment system sucks. - The CRV seems like the obvious choice, but its ugly. - The RAV4 is a top rival, but the infotainment system sucks, and its ugly. - The Rogue is what I want, but I'm concerned about spending $45K on a simple vehicle, when I could get a used Lexus for the same price. Information constipation is what I have right now, do you have any advice?

[@frostedflakes.08]

Rogue with the 4cyl instead of the i3 cuz the i4 proved itself, in sv or sv premium. Platinum isnt worth it bc the seats are still leathertte on the sv premium, but the semi aniline leather on the platinum is nicer, it isn’t worth it for 5000 more.

[@nostyle126]

What did you decide on? Did you make the right choice?

[@frostedflakes.08]

Also maybe consider a used rdx, from 2016-2018 MY bc leather and heated rear seats standard for about 28k

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

The wheel on the cx5 infotainment is stellar. The people that criticized never used it more than a few minutes

[@Tinrs80]

Thank you..Thank you!!! @ 9:35. ive said that and said that. Older models not newer models have cvt issues. Ive seen so many auto reviewers say what you just said too. But you will still get Nissan cvt trash comments. Thank you for that point. Maybe people listened. Doubt it.

When I think of what Nissan was in the 80’s and early 90’s and then what they’ve become now, I get sad.

[@maddcrz]

90's Nissan vehicles hit different, they were actually desirable. Now, I cringe when i see one :(

My 2009 G37 is still running like new after 150k miles. The mid to late 2000s Infiniti are great value

[@bobbywoods684]

One of my dream vehicles when I thought of retirement was a Maxima. When looking at them they just looked dated and old, still do. We bought nothing but Nissans for years. Now, I just don't know with the CVT if we'll ever go back.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Cold? We woke up to the Nation’s Capital dusted over with Snow! (gone by noon). I like this crisp redesign. Simple but tasteful. My only criticism might be it’s ‘Letter badged’ rear. The word Rogue is far too short and I feel that this upscale feature should be reserved for pricier model, like the Pathfinder (not their cheaper SUVs). Thanks for another entertaining review, guys.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Cold for us here in Vancouver, I am a wimp in the cold. Already missing those warm summer days. Glad you enjoyed the review!

[@snotina]

Thanks for the video, great real review with no "car" jargon. I am with ya on the CVT issue. I own a 2015 Rogue and have had trouble with it...it was stalling when accelerating (traffic light) ARGH!!! Eventually had to have the whole thing replaced, of course the warranty had just run out. $$$$ I am looking at getting this one in the coming months.

There are four trims, you forgot to mention, SL. 😊

[@jiayaw]

Only 3 in Canada, no more SL. Just like how with second gen before the face lift only had 3 trim, S, SV, SL (fully loaded and didn't need a premium package unlike in the States). Only when they did the facelift in 2017 that SL became second highest trim with platinum adding some nice stuff.

[@brettdossett4607]

Love the car but there is one issue, no one is talking about the same key fob that has been used since 2008. Not a huge thing but a car key is one of the first impressions you get of the car's overall quality. Incorporate some metal and make it a little heavy. Quality speaks wonders!

[@stevetavares5008]

I have a 2017 Rogue SV Tech. What sold me on it over the others was the price for what you got and the trunk. Having the option to put a shelve up high and tucking a stroller underneath it was a game changer for me. Disappointed they didn't keep that feature

All Nissan needs to do is listen to their customers a little more than ditch the the JATCO CVT. They nailed the design, functionality, interior and value. Any benefit CVT once had like low revs on the highway or smooth operation is now mitigated with good 6, 8, 9 and 10 speed automatic transmissions. No reason why they can't use an off the shelf Aisin 8 speed unit, that's literally all they need to do to make it a solid competitor.
