What Is the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport?

The Nissan Rogue Sport is a five-seat subcompact SUV that competes against the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona and Mazda CX-30. It’s powered by a 141-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are offered. 

What’s New on the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport?

The base S trim level has 17-inch aluminum wheels, and the mid-level SV trim gains heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and remote start. 

What Features in the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 17-inch aluminum wheels
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Air conditioning
  • 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane departure warning
  • Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert
  • Rear automatic braking

Available features include:

  • 19-inch aluminum wheels
  • Power moonroof
  • Leather-trimmed seats
  • Bose premium stereo
  • 360-degree camera system
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • ProPilot Assist driver-assist feature

Should I Buy the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport?

The Rogue Sport offers good occupant comfort, is a great size if you live in a city and can have many convenience and advanced safety features. Just be sure to take it on higher-speed roads if you’re considering one; we thought its drivetrain didn’t offer much power under full acceleration. Road noise is also an issue.
