2021 Nissan Rogue

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.

And that is what is interesting. I think it might have to do with expectations. For example, I drive my 4Runner into a Nissan lot, and take a Rogue out, a V8 full time 4WD will feel like a vastly different experience than a 4 with a CVT. If I drove my Corolla into the Nissan dealer, then I would get a better comparison. And our Matrix with a 2.4 and a 5 Auto is much more sporty and firm. Forget the LX450 which is like driving a tractor and gets 10MPG. So, if you are used to driving your Highlander or GS and go into a 4 cylinder with a CVT, very likely you won’t enjoy the experience. Nowgo drive a MB GLC AMG 43 (drove last two weeks) after you drive your HL or GS, and you might build upon the experience you are currently having.

Also, the base 2019 RAV-4 is notably cheap inside. I was not impressed with the base version at all when I looked at it. I'm not sure it is worth even the 25-26K they want for the base version. The CR-V, in general, has noticeably better materials inside.
I agree that the Rogue Sport occupies one of those odd, in-between categories between the C-class CUVs (Rogue) and the B-Class CUVs (Juke, Kicks). In that sense, it is somewhat similiar to the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, although Mitsubishi has such a sparse dealer-network and low sales that it is not even a minimal player in the American market anymore. I included it, though, because it is technically part of the Rogue line-up.
