2021 Nissan Rogue vs 2021 Toyota RAV4

This is an unbiased review of the 2021 Nissan Rogue Platinum and the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited. I reached out to our local Honda dealership for a CR-V and was declined. I reached out to Honda Canada and was told there is a fleet of CR-V's for this purpose, but none in Nova Scotia so I was unable to include the CR-V Touring. For anyone wondering, I work for O'Regan's Automotive Group and as such am able to sell any brand which they carry, This includes Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, VW, GM & Subau.

Nissan really hit every mark with the new Rogue. The car looks so good for the price range.

[@johndrew23]

Nissan Rogue improved a lot, I just got Nissan rogue SV premium 2022 last February and i was so impressed!

[@HALWG51]

I'm a fan of the CVT. I've owned 3 of them and I also drive a Ford with a regular automatic transmission. I much prefer the smoothness and better fuel economy of the CVT. I also like not having the auto stop/start on the Nissans. This was a good comparison video.

[@gendyn58779]

No auto stop/start for the RAV 4. Just the push button start though.

[@Sportimus]

@@gendyn58779 Yeah, that's annoying having to press EVERY time I start the car to deactivate it. No thanks. I shouldn't have to press another button to drive a car the way I like it. Nissan did a better job in not having it to begin with.

[@Artanyia1]

Have you had any problems with with the CVT or the Nissan in general throughout your years of owning one? Also for the Nissan does the fuel tank door lock?.. Currently car shopping

[@lanceruis]

As for feedback, this was the 7th or 8 to video I’ve seen on the Rogue, and it was by far one of the most in-depth and professional of the lot. You should be proud of the job you’ve done.

[@ramoncarter6585]

I love both of them to death. I get the Rogue really love that car.

[@st_1998]

Rogue looks much better in tech and family-friendly features.

[@cmreviews007]

Nissan Definitely killed it with their vehicle. the infotainment system is a lot better

[@spol1622]

They would if there was regular automatic transmission on it and stronger engine choice...

[@Sportimus]

@@spol1622 At least as an option, yes. A lot of these Compact SUV's are so anemic in power sadly.

[@TT-fw3vs]

rogue for me

[@mallew32]

These are great, especially for someone who's about to be a new driver. Thanks so much for your reviews!

[@shrevesaint]

Purchased the Nissan Rogue SV last week and I have really been impressed with the Rogue. It's spacious and intelligent remote ignition is included on the key fob.

[@guiltrad]

Glad to see a Canadian test drive as I can find the exact spec when I’m shopping

[@RichardRobinson]

Great video and thanks to Ethan we went with the Rogue

[@LeoneSexto]

Just got the Rogue. Although I’m not the primary driver (daughter is), I’ve enjoyed this car when I have driven it. While shopping for a car, I test drove the RAV and CRV. Overall, the ROGUE had a lot more to offer and that’s what sealed my decision.

[@odendahlc]

Enjoyed the comparison of these 2 vehicles. The only correction I would make is the the Limited does have a remote start on the fob. Unless shown it is hidden. It is activated by pressing the lock button let go and press and hold until the car starts. This was shown to me by the sales rep. With the latest update to the Rouge I would expect a bit more tech, however the RAV is equipped quite well. I just purchased the RAV4 Limited and have enjoyed it.

[@brennap3310]

Thx so much for this review, comparing cars to see how they really operate and function is so difficult online or with someone less knowledgeable of the cars. Great video, I’d have to say with the passenger headroom alone the Nissan Rogue wins it for me!

[@donxaisky-channel2436]

Rogue need to upgrade 2 pairs Exhaust it would be perfect. Love the Rogue

[@jusstBrian]

What would draw me to the Rav would be the hybrid options. Would like to see Nissan get back in to hybrids. Thanks for the video!

[@tjbiker49]

Thanks . . . Nice Job with this review. I really appreciate it Robert :)

[@gopikadapa7452]

Rogue's interior comfort is next level.

[@queenjerz3190]

Why the interior in the toyota rav 4 look like a 90s car

[@bryarbaxtyar3336]

[@sportutilityvehicle724]

yes NISSAN💕

[@christopher9626]

fantastic comparison! thank you

[@YT-SCAR_xBULLETZ]

Nissan all the way

[@ontarioman6301]

No CVT transmission for me. 6 grand to replace. Google on cost to replace a CVT. It cannot be fixed. All manufacturers head issues with CVT except Toyota.

[@rtb300800]

Change the cvt fluid every 30k miles and it will go 200k. They fail because people do not maintain them.

[@gusruz2001]

[@kevin2jzzzz203]

@@themoviebay I used to work for a company and they had a Nissan fleet of cars for use every single one of them either had a bad transmission or a bad motor Sentra, altimas, NV200 and a couple of rogues owner lost so much money with those cars.. believe I’m not disliking just to dislike I’m talking from experience .. but they could have fixed all the issues now who knows

[@maxgreddy9730]

Go for Toyota if you want to pay more and get less.

[@Cyberman86]

@ROMIAN25 the rogue can easily surpass the 200k miles if proper maintained. They are both great but this new rogue designed looks way better than the Rav 4, interior and exterior.

[@Cyberman86]

@ROMIAN25 most people would disagree with you, in the design segment. Also most people won’t be driving a car with 400k miles on it 😆 that’s a Fact. Very few people here in the U.S would drive a car with 400k miles. Distances are long here in the states, is easier just to sell it or trade it and get a lower mileage car. And that goes for any brand. People are not driving 20year old cars here in the U.S lol only a few people.

[@spol1622]

Well, Toyota has higher resale value...

[@themoviebay]

@ROMIAN25not many people keep cars that long.

[@themoviebay]

@@spol1622most people don't buy for that reason

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Toyota rav4 is garbage in snow....check other videos. Toyota can have all the cold seats they want....not necessary. I really like Toyota but I think they KILLED the modern look of their truck with a boxxy outside and a BULLS#$%& SUBSCRIPTION for electric start, Ridiculous to have a 3rd party involved all for what?? Nissan looks way more modern and doesn't hold a carrot over the owners head for a balls out experience. Not only that just to own and drive an AWD still doesn't have to cost an ARM AND A LEG😀👌 Auto stop and start at a light SUCKS COW NUTS.....tons of wear and tear on your vehicle just to save a little gas??? You can keep it. Renewable Energy ideology is for the birds

[@SuperiorTag]

I have a Rav 4, 2019. I am switching to 2022 Rouge, ordered mine a week ago. Am I making mistake?

[@RobertTigheCars]

No mistake at all. The new drivetrain in the 2022 Rogue SV and higher is a game changer!

[@SuperiorTag]

@@RobertTigheCars thanks for reassuring I was worried if the future value at the same time because few years from now I will be jumping in electric and would trade this so which one of these 2 would hold more value 3 years from now

[@RobertTigheCars]

@@SuperiorTag By the time you’re ready to get into an electric vehicle, either vehicle should have a great trade in value

[@user-rm7px9yc5w]

My dream!

[@glovedcop69]

Has Nissan addressed their CVT issues?

[@RobertTigheCars]

In Canada, Nissan hasn’t had CVT issues for quite a while. They were addressed. The CVT in this Rogue is a 4th generation CVT.

[@gendyn58779]

what he doesn't tell you is that the RAV4 is far more reliable and will last longer with better resale value. Nissan is owned by Renault, a French car company not known for reliability. Good luck on that JatCo CVT transmission. nothing but $$$ problems.

[@RobertTigheCars]

I debated a long time on whether or not to reply to this so based on that here’s what I have to say. My review was an unbiassed review. Clearly you are biased. The transmission that’s in the Nissan is a reliable transmission if you maintain it. The same as any other transmission on the market. If neglected, it will not last. That can be said for any transmission on the market in any vehicle. I’ve taken in 2008 Rogues with well over 300,000 km on them and the transmission works just like the day that it was bought. Every single vehicle on the road will last if well looked after. That’s my unbiassed opinion on the whole thing and I hope going forward you can also look at things unbiased. Thank you for your remarks.

[@gendyn58779]

@@RobertTigheCars Regarding the Nissan Roguen I was not being biased. I was basing my response on what a mechanic with over 50 years of experience had to say about Nissans. You might have heard of him. His name is Scotty Kilmer. You can find him here on KZbin.
