2021 Nissan Rogue
2021 Nissan Rogue spied.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...6a1d3cf96e.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...e0f5c16ee1.jpg The Nissan Rogue is one of the most popular SUVs in America, and it's about to get redone. A new, third-generation Rogue will soon replace the current, second-generation Rogue, which has been around since 2014. Based on these photos, it will introduce boxier styling and possibly will grow slightly in size. We're also hoping it will improve on its lackluster driving dynamics and follow in the footsteps of the appealing new Nissan Altima sedan, with which the Rogue may share some mechanical components. A naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four is likely to be the base engine, but we're thinking the newer PR25DD engine from the Altima will supplant the old Rogue's QR25DE motor. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions will be available, and a continuously variable automatic (CVT) should remain the only transmission choice. Nissan may opt to offer its variable-compression-ratio turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four in the Rogue to match competitors' more powerful upgrade engines, but that's not a sure bet. A Rogue hybrid model should continue on, to do battle with Toyota's RAV4 hybrid. |
The Nissan Rogue is one of the most popular SUVs in America, and it's about to get redone. The Rogue is popular because of its relatively low price, and the fact that it offers more than the RAV-4 and CR-V in terms of its value per dollar (several of my condo neighbors own one). But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best small SUV in its class....there are, IMO, several better competitors. |

The RAV4, CR-V, and Rogue are all priced pretty much the same to start. Top trim levels get up into the upper $30k range on all 3. 2019 Rogue $25,020 2019 CR-V $24,350 2019 RAV4 $25,650 |
I feel Nissan has been known to build "cheap quality" vehicles for some time. For many, that is perfectly fine. Affordable and semi-reliable is good enough for many non-car enthusiasts. I wouldn't mind seeing Nissan step up their quality game, while keeping prices low. It is possible and I think it would help sales even more.

I had a current gen as a one week rental when our Highlander was getting repaired. It was brand new, and I was thoroughly unimpressed. I am sure the next gen will be much, much improved.

My GF had one. The rare times I drove it, it was terrible. Artificial steering feel, uncomfortable seats, terrible sounding stereo, awkward driving position.

I didn't mind the interior too much. My issue was the lack of power/acceleration. And if it's going to be that slow, I should be getting good gas mileage, but it was not good at all. I had it for a week and averaged 19 mpg.

It is interesting to see some of the comments. I say that because the Rogue is the best selling 4 door vehicle in the US.

I think people buy the Rogue based on perceived reliability. I don't see what's so special about it.

The one I drove a year or so ago had a terrible CVT in it. Felt like driving a boat on land.

there's nothing at all special about it, people get the rogue because it's cheap and awd

I guess year is not over. But I thought it was #1 the last few years.
