Does The 2021 Nissan Rogue Bring The Goods To BEAT The Toyota RAV4? Here Are Its Pros And Cons!

[@woffordsoverlandjourneys8618]

Great review my friend

[@Chris-hw4mq]

After 5 minutes got bored AF. Generic salesman review not impressed

[@mattdepinto7959]

It’s because he didn’t load his underwear with socks to make him look as well endowed as his other videos. Plus, his shirt is not tucked in so as to hide his real life small bulge.

It’s the rogue

[@surprisek3918]

Looks SO MUCH better than the outgoing model 👍

[@manuelias86]

I really enjoy Alex's reviews since they are super detailed.

[@josiahstearns9615]

​@Jonathan Losito Doug's personality annoys me. Throttle house is okay and Matt Maran does a decent job. Straight Pipes is pretty good though. But I prefer Alex as well as Sofyan Bey and SavagaeGeese - I do suppose it depends on what vehicle segment you like to see reviewed. That's the nice thing about all of these channels..... something for everyone. You're bound to find at least 1 or 2 channels that cater to your preference and that's not even mentioning other channels like Raiti's Rides, EverydayDriver, and of course TFL or smaller market channels like Gold Pony, Driven Car Reviews With Tom Voelk, Forrest's Auto Reviews, MikesCarInfo , Prime Autotainment..... the list just goes on... plus some of the foreign Channels like Motorgraph World, and Asian Petrolhead.....

[@the_jarmel]

MORNING ALEX ON AUTOS ON TFL GOOD TO HAVE YOU 🥰

[@Torsee]

I like it! The market segment looking for this car could care less about 0-60 times. Get in it start it an go. That’s all. Overall a very good upgrade. JMO Nice review. Well done.

[@aarons8168]

Does it have a sport setting on the cvt? I’d trade the heads up display for that. I’m in favor of the paddle shifters to offer more control engine breaking downhill and holding revs higher on backroads and in weather. Less about acceleration more about control. I have an outback and murano, though murano is far nicer and larger engine, I can’t tap into it because it lacks paddles. Nice add by Nissan. Though I’m not a fan of cvts the paddles are a much needed addition....and certainly an improvement.

[@James-il3tq]

When your cars loaded with your family and cargo or you're passing on the highway you'll wish this had more power. 9 second 0-60 is pretty poor.

[@VARITHMS]

CVT transmissions are like vegan meat imitations. You can live with them just not the same. Great review, and it's a pretty nice vehicle.

[@dotheroar2524]

HAHA that’s a good comparison.

Alex you are by far the best car reviewer in the world 😊

Nissan amazingly elevated everything for the new Rogue. Now, it has even nicer looking interior and more advanced tech than some premium SUVs.

Alex is my goto reviewer for in depth reviews.

[@Hawki777]

It was very nice of you Alex to do the review for TFL/Roman. As always best review Alex.

[@mboiko]

Yeah, no doubt...Alex does a great job.

[@a.r.walker6255]

I think Nissan did a great job. Needs more horsepower though.

[@fishmantas]

@Jonathan Losito I bought a 2017 model and was surprised at how good the CVT feels.

[@michaelhony1645]

I doubt any Nissan will ever beat any Toyota at anything but price

[@dave3682]

Price, standard features, and seat comfort... as a start. Seriously, doing just a modicum of research will debunk this comment.

[@st_1998]

The new Rogue seems to have much better interior quality and more family-friendly features than Rav4.

[@s3savage]

Cool way to go Nissan ❤️ gr8 review !!

[@samaanam76]

I hope Nissan rise the rogue level for the new Rogue by giving us a second powertrain like VC-Turbo engine paired with direct shift automatic transmissions. Great review 👍

[@JJ-ls7fq]

Just a lowly Jatco CVT.

[@ottomaguire2443]

I prefer a mechanical engine with a manual transmission with electrified 2wheels for stop and go traffic to keep them eco-friendly.. this way they can advertise all wheel drive with one axle mechanical and the other one electric for short ranges when you need it

[@occckid123]

Almost. Now u have a 3cyl motor but still with a cvt

[@ItsChrisWorld]

I’m tryna figure out what nissan’s do people have because my mom have an 08 Altima (182k), had a 2010 Nissan Rouge (150k) traded for Murano and my dad drives a 17 maxima and no issues.

[@ernestagyemang3575]

Such people are only educated illiterates and deliberately hates on the brand nissan. I can clearly smell a sabotage on nissans

[@patricio-gomez1]

Ernest Agyemang what?

[@ItsChrisWorld]

Patricio Gomez just what I said

[@stefanb.5154]

There are some people who have had major issues with several Nissan vehicles, the maxima isn’t as common to have issues with. The generation Altima you mentioned specifically had an issue with the dashboard melting, and the newer nissans with a first generation CVT transmission developed by Jatco were known to fail mainly in the Altima and Sentra. Not all people will experience it as some vehicles are manufactured in different plants, but a lot of people were experiencing transmission issues, with the Sentra being the worst, followed by the Altima.

[@ItsChrisWorld]

Stefan B. Now I will say that the dashboard on my moms 08 was horrible! It have like little cracks in it and some of it peeled around the radio.

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

They pull off the split headlights better than others do. 🤷🏻‍♂️ also Juke had split headlights a long time ago.

[@jazzyjock]

I think that's where they got that style from honestly

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Thanks again for stopping by.

[@ottomaguire2443]

Welcome to TFL I have watched your videos so obviously they like your videos as much as I

[@prestonakridge1966]

Nissan is finally producing quality products thanks to their former "rogue" boss leaving the company - Mr Ghosn

[@kromahj]

How you going to talk about quality, this just came out. Nissan have bad record in quality, don't let that design fool you

[@darell8310]

Still junk out of the box

[@aarons8168]

On CVT, I like the paddle shifters. Less about accelerating, more about downshifting going down hills, holding revs higher on country roads, just more control overall. Also helpful in bad weather. 9 seconds sounds slow. Is their a sport setting for the cvt to help with that?

[@occckid123]

It's 8.3. Perfectly fine...

[@natmar1149]

TFL!!! TFL!!! Is the channel I SUPPORT & subscribed to. WAS ALEX IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING?

[@trabertgraneau3323]

The new Rogue is looking very beautiful

[@docsanti8971]

Great review as usual. I think the quality of the interior is much better than the RAV 4, don’t you agree?

[@fuelon]

Love the collab between your channels! Good guy Alex steps in to save the day during covid times 😃

[@o.c.stiggs5377]

The Toyota Rav 4 plays in the Majors. The Nissan Rogue is Bush League. The key to value rests far more with longevity than it does with appointments.

[@PMI551]

Diggin the new logo!

[@chrisgraydon]

I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 206,000 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.

[@BRAINFxck10]

Toyota Rav4: "Wassup 4 eyes! LMAO"

[@letour32rr]

If it still has a Jatco CVT, then no, it doesn’t have what it takes to beat anything.

[@flipper2gv]

All the tech in the world doesn't compensate for a shitty cvt transmission.

[@letour32rr]

@@flipper2gv yup. I have a buddy who is a certified Nissan tech and he said many Jatco CVT’s don’t even make it to the first prescribed transmission service mileage. He said to get any sort of mileage, fluid and filter need to be replaced every 30k miles.

[@flipper2gv]

@@letour32rr I did that on my Nissan and the shit still died on me after 63k miles, a month or two after changing the fluid for the second time (some symptoms started before though).

[@ynot1935]

Does it come with the cvt and engine issues so common with Nissan? RAV4 is ugly in my opinion but I trust the mechanics of it.

[@kromahj]

But it reliable then Nissan, cars are getting expensive. People want reliability over design. Only a fool will buy design over reliability. I had a 2017 Nissan rogue, transmission went out at 42k miles. Nissan are only good for lease , not to buy

[@maesgramp]

I'm wondering how many people will balk b/c "it's a full second slower than the competition."

[@rightlanehog3151]

Changing style is easy for Nissan but raising QDR standards is very difficult. If Alex is taking over reviewing duties for other channels, he should start with Redline. ;-)

[@Spankus28]

Absolutely take Redlines channel. That guy is a chode. He shits on everything he doesn’t like, very biased based on his own wants and needs.

[@ernestagyemang3575]

I don't watch red line any longer cos that guy is too biased. I see him as an anti-Nissan. Period

[@TheDisBeat]

Rey Perez “Nissan has been in the news a lot lately, and unfortunately, it’s been for all the wrong reasons. Over the course of the last year or two, Nissan’s profits have plunged (and then plunged some more!) as sales of the company’s vehicles have started trending in the wrong direction. Nissan has also been forced to deal with a slew of ongoing Nissan CVT transmission problems in a variety of the company’s vehicles. Those who own Nissans have been forced to pay anywhere from $3,500 to $8,000 on average to fix Nissan CVT transmission problems. This has, in turn, forced Nissan to extend the warranties on many of their cars from five years or 60,000 miles to 10 years or 120,000 miles.” They are known for shaking, shuddering, breaking metal belts, and complete failure.
