2021 vs 2020 Nissan Rogue
Posted on March 13, 2021
The compact crossover class features such well-known vehicles as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Dominating the segment, it takes a well-rounded vehicle to put up a fight against these two SUVs. The Nissan Rogue does just that, holding its own against class rivals in a tough and crowded segment.
Even as the Nissan Rogue began to show its age, it continued to be a top competitor in its class, as well as Nissan's best-selling vehicle. The Rogue was completely redesigned for the 2021 model year, bringing modernity to its look and leaving mediocrity behind.
What's New
The 2021 Nissan Rogue was upgraded in all areas: interior, exterior, technology, safety, handling, and more. It features better connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It offers a more intuitive and easy-to-use multimedia system with a larger touchscreen. It offers improved safety and convenience with heated outside mirrors with LED turn signal indicators.
And those are just a few of the new, standard features. Starting at $28,498, the 2021 Nissan Rogue is available in three model configurations: S, SV, and Platinum.
Power and Performance
Both the 2020 and 2021 Nissan Rogue models are powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. However, the 2021 model gets a power boost up to 181 horsepower, making it more capable than its predecessor. The 2021 model also received improvements to its ride, handling, and acceleration, smoothing out issues that were noticeable in previous years.
Style
Both the interior and exterior of the Nissan Rogue were reimagined for 2021. The exterior became more imposing with a wider stance, a new double V-motion grille, LED headlights and taillights, and a new spoiler.
Inside, the Rogue now features a bi-level dashboard, squared-off shift knob, and hidden storage cubbies for improved driver experience. To provide more passenger room, the 2021 model did lose about 80L of cargo capacity in the back compared to the 2020 model.
Technology
Again, the 2021 Nissan Rogue upgraded its elements compared to its 2020 predecessor. The 2021 model now offers such features as dual and tri-zone climate control systems, a 9-inch touchscreen, a fully digital dashboard, and a head-up display.
The 2021 Nissan Rogue provides an upgrade in every possible area compared to the 2020 Nissan Rogue. Drivers do not have to look any further for a capable, reliable, safe, and stylish compact crossover SUV.
