I HAVE A FEELING THE DRIVE FOR THE BETTER HALF OF 2021.
WE PUT THE ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE DURING OUR TRIP WEST; OF FEBRUARY'S EPIC WINTER THE TLX WAS SUREFOOTED, TO SAFELY DRIVE OUT OF WHICH IS WHAT WE EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO DO.
IT'S BACK TO THE CROSSOVERS, THE MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV ON THE NEXT MOTORWEEK John: THE NISSAN ROGUE MAY NOT SALES NUMBERS OF SEGMENT AND HONDA CR-V, WITH THEM WHEN IT COMES TO AND PERFORMANCE.
SO, LET'S SEE IF AN ALL-NEW HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO * WHILE, CROSSOVERS COME AND SIZE THESE DAYS, IT'S REALLY WITH THE POPULAR CR-V THAT STARTED US DOWN THE ROAD IN ALMOST EVERY DRIVEWAY.
SO, UNDERSTANDABLY, NISSAN'S BEST-SELLING AND THEY'VE GOT FOR THE 2021 NISSAN ROGUE.
THE ROGUE WAS A BIT TO THE COMPACT SEGMENT, RUGGED IMAGE IN THE EARLY 2000s.
2003s MURANO BEGAN TO FOLLOWED BY THE ROGUE IN '08; A MOTORWEEK WE LOVED ITS SPACIOUSNESS, AND AFFORDABILITY; A FINE ALTERNATIVE ROOMINESS CONTINUES TO BE ALL SEATS ARE COMFORTABLE, APPROACHING A MIDSIZE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR CARGO TOO; DIVIDE-N-HIDE STORAGE SYSTEM OF FLEXIBILITY IN HOW AND THE ABILITY TO KEEP WITH THE FLOOR AT ITS LOWEST THERE IS 36.5 CUBIC-FEET 74.1 WITH REAR SEATBACKS THERE'S A LOT OF SMALL ITEM WITH A PASS-THRU CENTER AN 8.0 INCH TOUCHSCREEN AND ANDROID AUTO IS STANDARD; UPS IT TO 9.0 INCHES.
YOU ALSO, GET A POWER BUT THE BASE MODEL.
LEATHER-TRIMMED SEATING HERE IN OUR SL TESTER; ADDS QUILTED STITCHING.
SL TRIM ALSO GETS A NICE MOTION-ACTIVATED LIFT-GATE, AND 19-INCH WHEELS.
WHICH BRINGS US TO NOW, WE MENTIONED NISSAN'S AND HOW THE ORIGINAL ROGUE WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL IN TRYING TO BRING SOME OF THE NEW ROGUE'S SHAPE IS MUCH WITH A FACE THAT'S TALLER AND THE UPCOMING BIG BROTHER THE SAME TREND.
OVERALL LENGTH IS ACTUALLY LAST YEAR, ON THE SAME AND DESPITE THE SAME WHEELBASE, THIS IS TECHNICALLY, PART OF THE RENAULT, NISSAN, AND EARLY INDICATORS ARE THAT WITH THIS CHASSIS.
NOW, AS A PERFORMANCE SUV, AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF BUT, IT'S QUITE CAPABLE ENTERTAINING WITH VEHICLE IT'S FAIRLY RESPONSIVE, THERE'S A GOOD WEIGHT WHILE, MUCH OF THE SEGMENT AND 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC NISSAN STICKS WITH THEIR 2.5 LITER I4 AND CVT COMBO; 181 IS THE NUMBER YOU AS IT IS BOTH THE HORSEPOWER SO, IT'S NOT EXACTLY, TO THE DRAG STRIP.
THERE WASN'T REALLY ENOUGH WHAT LITTLE WHEEL-SPIN FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE TESTER.
SO, WE JUST RODE IT OUT AND FOR THE ENGINE TO BUILD UP GETTING TO 60 TOOK AN THE SIMULATED SHIFTS THAT LATEST VERSION OF NISSAN'S DON'T REALLY ADD ANY EXCITEMENT, BUT DO AT LEAST ALLEVIATE THE QUARTER-MILE COMPLETED AT 86 MILES PER HOUR.
BASE ROGUE PRICING SEES $260 OVER LAST YEAR; PUSHES THE TOP-LEVEL HIGHER, TO OUR SL WAS QUITE ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE IS FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1,400.
THE BAD NEWS ABOUT THE COMPACT IS THAT EVEN WITH ONLY A FEW ESTABLISHED A LARGE CHUNK OF THE PIE.
BUT, THE GOOD NEWS IS, THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE TO STILL SELL A LOT OF THEM.
YOU JUST HAVE TO OFFER AND A LITTLE BIT OF STYLE; THE 2021 NISSAN ROGUE NOW WAY BETTER THAN EVER.
