I watch his video regardless of brand or model. His presentation is entertaining this much.

We drove the CR-V, Rav4, and Rogue in the same day. The Rogue was the best by far. Best seats, best tech, best ergonomics, best ADAS, best moon roof, best value. People bitch about the CVT but you will never notice it during 95 percent of daily commuting.

I am so happy you reviewed the sv and not the s or the platinum trim because the sv is the true value trim.

Nissan has improved their CVT over the years. There are many many Rogues on the road with that CVT in it. Also. I hear a-lot of comments about the hp, which did fine on every trip we took. We have the 2021 Platinum and it is just fine. And yes, we drove the CRV, RAV4, CX5, and the list goes on. You also have to like the other aspects of the vehicle, correct. Pound for pound the Rogue won. It’s not tue fastest off the line but I would have bought a Vette for that. It merges just fine and keeps up with traffic. And yes, I’ve owned prior Nissans with the CVT and any issue I had was not with the transmission. My 2019 Accord Sport had a camera malfunction and shut the entire car down. Oh well, if man makes it, it will break. The Rogue is a nice driving vehicle. Take one for a drive before you just talk about the CVT. Yes, it has a history but people just like to talk crap as if it has not been improved.

Glad they modernized the Rogue, look's more appealing. Excellent review Tom!

"it's for the children..." I love it!!! You're awesome, love your content.

Seems totally inoffensive in almost every way. Nissan will sell a ton of these. And THANK YOU for always reviewing stop/start systems. I would be more likely to buy one of these Rogues because it doesn't have it.

The new Rogue has the most responsive steering I have ever experienced in a crossover. Definitely the most fun to drive of all crossovers I test drove in the last few days.

I am picking up my new 2021 Rogue tomorrow! So Excited

Nissan is really trying to turn things around. I’m intrigued. 😊👍

I just upgraded from a 2012 Nissan Rogue to the 2021 rogue (same digits , nice …) and man it’s a WORLD of difference - this car really had a glow-up The interior feels premium and there’s no shortage of features. The ride is hella smooth and quiet - like zero road noise Acceleration is smooth and has a bit of power My wide as a rav4 and they’re very similar overall I would say here has a but more kick and acceleration whereas the rogue feels more premium and luxurious Love it so far !

About 3-4 weeks ago I bought a 2021 rouge SL trim. I absolutely love it. Watched many reviews before I bought one. Great review!

Just got a 2021 Rogue SV as a company car. Very nice interior and amazing it doesn't have a auto shut off which is a huge plus. Seats are tall and supportive, if not a tad hard on the backend for those of us who aren't well padded back there. The arm rest height with the seat at high setting is excellent as is the utility of the interior which also has a swanky appearance with decent materials. The engine has some torque off the line and the Rogue is quicker than the Honda CRV EX-L (my personal ride). True the cargo area is shorter than the Honda CRV's however the cargo tie downs are very sturdy looking. I like the 12 volt outlet in the back area. The auto steer system is still being learned and seems to not be as precise as Honda's LKAS /ACC system. The Rogue tends to tailgate under the system and does not suddenly brake hard when someone slows ahead to pull off the highway - a very annoying and dangerous trait of the CRV. All in all, a good value and a comfortable vehicle.

I just buy myself a red rogue sv awd. 2021 and oh myyyyyy i love this car.Thanks for the review.

Thanks for showing us the new Nissan logo as a World Premiere, Tom!

God, this car is just loaded with features. Especially that 360°cam is awesome.

I think it is a well rounded crossover. Hope it does well so that Nissan might open up to a stronger powertrain option.

Great stuff. Good going sir!

Really liked that you reviewed a trim that is probably more reflective of a volume seller. Reviewing fully loaded, top trim models really isn't providing "helpful" reviews for the vast majority of shoppers. They may be entertaining, but the differences between what a vehicle can be optioned up and what gets parked in most driveways are usually pretty different. Also, you've shared the blue thing before, and even noted that your wife has never owned a blue car, either. Good review. Thanks.

Great video! But I do have to respectfully disagree at 7:16. Perhaps your pre-production model didn’t have the finalized audio setup, but the sound quality in my ‘21 Rogue SV seems pretty terrific. No, it’s not quite the same as what I’ve heard in Nissan’s Bose systems over the years,, but it’s pretty close to my ear. The bass packs a very nice punch to not have a dedicated subwoofer (I’ve yet to run into any distortion issues, even at louder levels), and the mids and highs are decent enough. Again, any premium system will almost always sound superior, but I plan to keep this vehicle a very long time and have no intentions of upgrading the stock speakers. They sound that good! To anyone debating between the SV or a higher trim just for the Bose package, I personally don’t think it’s worth the upgrade. Unless you are a bonafide audiophile, you’ll really enjoy the stock system! That said, I believe the base S trim only has a four speaker system, so it very likely is worth the couple extra thousand to go with the SV - not just for audio, but also for all the other features that come along with it!

This Rogue's CVT is SUPER RESPONSIVE! Best CVT i have driven so far hands down..well done Nissan.

I got a feeling these going sell like crazy. This new model is beautiful, nicer design and more technology. GO ROGUE!!!

I find the EPA's gas mileage interesting as I'm able to get between 37 and 39 mpg on my 2021 Rogue SV AWD and that's when driving on two lane roads followed by a bit of spirited highway stretches.

We just traded our 2018 Rogue in last week because our lease was up. We also lease one for our son. We love the new look. It actually seems bigger and more luxurious. My only disappointment was I wanted the two tone , but they only come in the platinum. Overall we’re very happy with our Rogues .

If Nissan has sold all of those Rogues over the years with a slow powertrain, why would they change it? Clearly their customers don’t care.

Everyone deserves a blue car! I've had 2. Run out and get yourself one!

@10:13 I've driven Rogue's for years and like you, I was shocked by the tinny hollow sound that my 2020 Rogue made when I closed the door. Apparently, Nissan added more aluminum to the Rogue over the past couple years and it's really noticeable.

With a strong product that appeals to a broad segment of the market and Nissan's notoriously easy financing this new Rogue will be a home run for sure.

That bogging 4 cylinder racket with the CVT reminds me of the groaning that my girlfriend's Outback makes, and it sends shivers up my spine. Trying to get this kind of powertrain started on a steep hill is just painful

Great reviews Tom! Keep up the good work. Regards, Long time Subscriber from Melbourne, Australia

What a handsome vehicle. Finally, a crossover SUV that the family man can proudly be seen driving and not feel emasculated. lol

Greetings from Russia! Good review, the author is well done! I have a previous version of the Nissan Rogue (X-trail on our market). I hope we will soon have an update in our country, too. Good luck to you!

6:48 - That's what she said.

Tell them the extra TP is for a food pantry. I really do buy our church pantry’s TP at COSTCO. BTW...this Rogue seems better than my 2018 RAV4. Nice job NISSAN!

1:50 I've never seen foam used to cushion a hood, instead of bump stops and rubber cushions. I wonder if Rogue also employs the new sound deadening material, that's better than the often used recycled material. You mentioned it's quiet, so I guess that's the case.

I own the 2019 Rouge Sport SV. Honestly I think CVTs get some unjustified hate especially modern ones. I used to hate them, but for an everyday driver it's not bad at all. It's an excellent little commuter.

Now, we need a Rogue vs. Outlander review.

I'd be tempted to get one in red just so I could tell people I had a rouge Rogue

Mine 21 has start stop. Just bought it

If you like to diy your own oil change dont forget the splash guard and the 18 plastic clips that you must remove and 2 bolts just to reach the oil plug filter no thanks or extra labor charge😂

Ah, you see us as your children (TP reference). That’s nice Tom.

Seems like a fair and balanced review...but Tom, don't we see a bit of hobby horsing from the front end on those neighborhood streets? I ask as you didn't mention it.

Tom! Please standardize that Hydro Flask side pocket fit test in all reviews. I personally find it useful.

The S trim level comes with push button start on the 21 models

Great review. Now I think it's time to go check one out for myself.

Great review. Really like the interior design Nissan came up with and very happy to see them leave out the worthless engine start/stop feature. Shame they don't offer a sport model.

As always the most entertaining information delivery!!! Thx Tom! Nissan has jumped a few bars!

The new SV rogue no longer has “the foot activated liftgate” like the 2018-2020 Rogue SV. Why?

Who else saw the plastic panel move in when Tom started the car at 1:57? Being a preproduction car, should be sorted for normal consumer use (hopefully)

Glad they updated..last one was a horror to drive..styling much improved..good review..thanks...I. have owned a blue car, but lighter shade😀

I like this Rogue a lot. It's on my list of next car to buy.

some one tell me what happened when i driving in 60km my little boy touch on gear put in key P. ??

Best car reviews out there.

Tom - another great review ! Thanks for this and very helpful. How would you compare this to the latest iteration of the CRV and CX5? This seems to be a better value ... but would be interested in your thoughts. I will be test driving both...

Great review and helpful as I am looking carefully at this and considering it. Thank you. And love "it's for the children". Nice!

Tom, you're still the best!

GREAT NISSAN.

My wife buy a Subaru Forester she said is ok ... she didnt notice the CVT...

Nice review how do the dimensions compare to the Rav4 and 2011 Rogue? And how tall is Tom? Was there enough leg room cause older Rogues were a bit too small inside.

Someone other than my father and I say “scoosh” ( probably misspelled that lol) And wow they put LED brake lights!!! I thought they’d cheap out like the Altima

Really enjoy your videos and the obvious production quality you put into them. Fun fact: My wife and I had never owned a blue car before either. Now we own TWO at the same time. Feast or famine I guess. Thanks!

IIRC, after your tour of Nissan factory. You said Nissan was heading in right direction. Now that it has been released. Just wondering if this was one of the vehicles you saw?

The only Nissan product I've ever owned was a much loved 240Z that took me around backroads when dinosaur crossing signs were common. In the years since I never found a Nissan vehicle that met my needs or wants. But I have to say that Nissan appears to have hit the sweet spot for the typical family of three or four (and perhaps a dog) with the new Rogue. They've reduced the length by a couple of inches bringing it closer to the average of compact crossovers while maintaining near class leading generous passenger and cargo space. The suite of driver assistance and convenience features are impressive, especially in midlevel volume trims. The single engine choice of a NA 4 banger with 186 ft lbs of torque and 186 HP won't thrill those whose priorities include stoplight drag racing in a compact crossover but such folks are far more numerous among internet fan boys than consumers. Current Nissan Rogue sales have slipped 39% in 2020 and dropped it from third to fourth place among compact SUVs. But the new model should move it back to third place ahead of the Chevy Equinox and again nipping at the heels of the CRV as it did in 2019. The familiar gripes about the Rogue's CVT won't go away. But such complaints largely ignore that CVTs (including Nissan's) have improved greatly since I test drove a Murano back in 2012 and found it highly objectionable. I'd guess that 90% of consumers looking at the Rogue won't notice a difference between its CVT and a traditional geared transmission. Further, nearly 100% of drivers will find no difference in over 90% of the miles they drive. CVTs are less expensive to manufacture. Their behavior can be designed and modified via software. And while the advantage CVTs enjoy in fuel efficiency is relatively minor and doesn't pay off for years compared to a traditional gearbox with 8 to 10 speeds, the advantage does exist in one important way when it's displayed on the window sticker in the dealer showroom. Consumers notice it and that matters in terms of sales.

I always wondered if Tom was the reason for the TP craze. :p

Tom is the automotive equivalent of "The REAL DEAL"...

Nissan need to return the moveable rear seats from the previous model. Access to the lower floor storage area is near impossible if the boot is heavily loaded in this updated model. Nissan should not have removed the central 12v socket in this new model either.

I don’t like how high the hood is and how short the windshield is. It really hurts visibility

My dream!

SV has gps?

anyone here know if these nissan DIs also have port fuel injection to clean carbon off?

Hello Tom

So much want to like Nissan again. The new Z and the new Frontier are signs of a pulse and a heartbeat at Nissan. Reliability and concerns with the CVT especially keep me away. But if Nissan is really on the best side of the corner. That will change. Otherwise, Toyota and others will still get my money.

Transmission by Jatco?

Does this gen's Rogue have the sliding rear seat? (Last gen.'s does and so does Ford Escape. )

What a nice car!

Tom you ought to review its sibling - the Mitsubishi Outlander when possible! Great videos by the way :D

Looks a lot better.

Your brother looks same as you

I used to have a Nissan that had the Datsun and the Nissan logo on it!

We are told the car has an improved CVT design. There have been so many problems with past ones I would be hesitant to buy this one unproven. I’ll bet Nissan will sell a ton of them since many don’t know the difference between a conventional and a CVT.

I wonder how much Nissan really improved the reliability of those CVTs? I’ve heard of a lot of people with 150k + miles without any issues. They should back those transmissions with 100k mile warranty to boost confidence

I’ve never really thought about it but what do you do with all the toilet paper you buy for the reviews 😂

Looks better than last generation. Even the Subaru Outback has a choice of engines. Please send some TP to the right coast, for the children.

Nice job with the interior. CVT sucks that killed any sale for me. Front nose is just ugly to many lines&shapes that dont blend together.

What happened if Toyota will offer 243-hp hybrid (from Highlander) in Limited/Platinum RAV4 with 36-mpg? How attractive Rogue will be in the highest trims? Sorry, I'm just speculating...

I love supporting your channel Tom. As a long time viewer I respect your efforts when creating review content, but five ads in 13:54 minutes.good grief. Just saying.

Jo

i really wish those weird manufacturing faults for example that awkward looking gap from the side of the centre console, those rubbers with unfinished look closing the carpets on floors and all such things don't make it to the final consumer product. i just wish and hope it is simply a test product issue

Why is CVTs around? Ill never buy a car with a CVT

Always a never to CVTs . Sorry not sorry .

If you put rouge lipstick on a pig , it is still a pig. LOL !!

CVT TRANSMISSION good luck

it looks like a Hyundai and thats a HUGE compliment! unfortunately its still a Nissan though 😔

It’s for the children.

Nissan did a great job on the new Rogue

Does it have a digital speedo on the lower trims?

Why are they not putting cvts on their trucks and big suv? Saves them money in the long run.

There's a great plastic surgeon somewhere in LA waiting to restructure the Rogue's nose

Just do not get the purpose of revving the shit out of the engine. You can leave that part out in future videos.

It's for the children. Just great.
