The 2022 Nissan Rogue Gets A Techy New Powertrain. Does It Work? 

And that's where it ends. .

​@@imdone1965I've been in both vehicles. It does not end there.

@jdm1039 yeah it does. Nissan CVT is pure trash. 3 cylinder turbo, 🤣 Total BS... People are so brainwashed with this tech crap , go buy one and good luck! I'll take a Toyota , Honda or Mazda over this everytime!

I own the 2017.5 Rogue and tested the 22 Rogue while getting an oil change. Its a LOT smoother than mine I have a 4 cylinder CVT at 170 HP, with 26 city/33 highway mpg, 175 Lb-Ft torque. The 2022 rogue has 201 HP, 225 Lb-Ft torque, 30 City, 37 hwy rated. Of all the vehicles i know, i cant even recall a 3 cyclinder to exist. Yet the 3 cylinders have great acceleration and performance from my test drive experience. Coming from a rogue it feels awesome, yet for those who use traditional engines it might be an acquired taste for you guys. Although I TRULY love this new rogue, i plan on running this rogue until it falls apart. I bought it brand new and enjoy every single mile that ONLY I HAVE PUT ON IT. (Less than 1% was by other drivers, such as valets letting a family member borrow it, etc) One day I'll put an end to the myth of Nissana making bad engines. (I hope 😬)

@@ericolens3 GR Yaris and GR Corolla are 3 cylinders. Hell even i8 has a 3 cylinder engine.

Good luck, I can't trust a Nissan Product anymore that has a cvt. 2013 Sentra nearly killed me on the highway after the cvt randomly died with under 100,000k. I would definitely take a Tucson, CX5, or Rav4 over these.

Thankfully Tom's reviews are much better than the old Motor Week garbage.

RIP LENNY @@

Except you trade power for reliability especially with a 3 cylinder turbo

@@kickboxerforever00 Just make sure the dealer u buy it from offers a lifetime powertrain warranty so no issues dealt out of your own pocket involved

I agree with your concerns and I hope Nissan didn’t screw up reliability or engine robustness. But Vtec was new too some time ago and now all manufacturers have it. As for the Nissan CVTs, it seems that the key for longevity is transmission oil drain and refills per manufacturer maintenance schedule (every 30k miles) with Nissan OEM fluid, don’t cut corners on that!

@@ItsAlive111 Actually Nissan was the first Japanese manufacture to use valve timing or VTC, Honda enhance it to Vtec.

I wish the Rogue had a Vtec turbocharged with a 6 spd or 8 spd

@@khronin show you know little about Nissan race history, Nissan VVL was more reliable and more powerful than Honda vtec, problem was only certain amount of the engine was manufactured. Nissan did variable valve timing before honda, which was called N- VTC , Nissan was the first Japanese to use variable timing control (VTC) in the 3.0 liter engine (VG30DE) in 1986, Honda brought a more advance variable timing control called vtec in 1989. Nissan enhance the VTC to neo VVL develop by Autech a subsidiary of Nissan under Japanese CEO before Ghosn took helm of Nissan as CEO. Which birth the SR16VE and the SR20VE engines. Unlike vtech , VVL engages the change of intake and exhaust cams independently for a flatter, more consistent power band. Up to date the SR16VE N1 NA engine is the world most powerful NA 1.6 liter engine, develop 190 HP.

@@khronin hey, you do not know me so, all you saying is total nonsense, and I have past through many cars to know all about Toyotas, Honda and Nissans, long before you, and I can clearly say that without bias owning a Honda Accord currently and my education background as engineer (mechanical, electronic and electrical), also let me have basic of understanding how this machines work. You clearly wrote " Honda is way more reliable and had the Vtec in racing form for years ", nobody force you to wrote that, but your comment is bias and based on your opinion without facts to, back up, because there are many B16 and SR16, around to gather data, and both engines have been reliable, so how is Honda vtech more reliable? You are butt hurt because someone correct you with your bias utterance, putting forth your opinion, and I know you have never driven the SR16VE N1 which are hand crafted engines, so you can say what ever you want, I have seen both engines at paly have you? I do not need a you tube channel, The post is about Nissan VC-T and the question pose was about Nissan new 1.5 VC-T engine or CVT, which one would fail first, which VC-T is variable compression ratio with turbo, which is total different from valve timing (VTC) which is controlling the open and closing of valves, not about Honda Vtech or how does it compare to other makers, also nobody ask about if Honda was more reliable. What ever you are claiming that you did not do, that exactly what you are doing indirectly, that Honda has been doing this for years, as If they are the only ones. However you argument turn out to be way off because VCT and VCR are not the same, you own a lot of performance cars, good for you, but actually go learn how they operate before commenting.

How much gas mileage in city and mpg ?

Especially when Walla Walla onion rings are on season.

@@DrivenCarReviews The fried asparagus is likewise delicious.

I wish they’d creep a little farther north into the Seattle area. So good 😊

Thanks for the info Judi

Yeah cars are getting really pricey.

Good luck on being able to get 1 at a decent price and getting 1 in general lol

@@occckid123 Edmunds shows there are two available within 200 miles of me, and suggests paying $49,000 for SEL model. Also, I'm not sure Santa Fe is bigger. Rogue is rather spacious and feels mid-size instead of compact.

@@moozillamoo2109 lmfao insane! 2 available then you have 2 call the dealership and see what upcharge they charge for the vehicle also and thats if the 2 are really even available by the time you get there.

@@moozillamoo2109 Santa Fe cargo is actually larger and has generous underfloor storage. I have looked at both.

@@occckid123 yeah...up here in Canada it is at least a six month wait for an SV because SV models come out of Japan...S models come out of Mexico and are easier to get...but still a wait.

It would give it class leading or close to class leading fuel economy and acceleration

Yes, we went there. Just stopped shooting by then. I know when to stop annoying my wife.

I also like the Hyundai/Kia system. It's not all about "seconds handsfree". PPA seems to be a little more confident when it's doing its job. In the Hyundai, I didn't have nearly the level of handsfree time as you. Most I got was a minute and that was on straightways.

Maybe have a tall evil cousin or step sibling twice removed to assist evil twin?

@@ThorMaxx Yes, a nice cousin could also offset an evil twin.

Agree

Yup, but a guy has to show his math.

@@DrivenCarReviews For sure, I get it. However, the ECU should be the most accurate thing you can use if you want (despite what some naysayers online say). If you want, you can reset the fuel economy gauge when you get the vehicle, then make note of what it says at the end of your time with it. That should be a good reflection of its fuel consumption. Of course, that's only relative to how it was driven by you during your time with it. Things like temperature, altitude, quality of fuel, how you are driving it and the driving conditions as a whole all play into fuel economy, so they should really be taken as a guide, not gospel. The good thing I've seen from you is you tend to drive the vehicles like most normal people do (you don't hypermile it, but also don't floor it constantly). It always bothered me to see some reviewers drive a vehicle like they stole it, then berate it for poor fuel economy. :)

@@jeffer1101 my 21 rogue is off by 1l/100km. Always like that. Full tank to full tank is always the most accurate way to measure fuel economy.

@@jackl5557 The ECU knows precisely how much fuel is being used. Also, you shouldn't fill your fuel tank up the top of the nozzle (where it would essentially spill out if you kept going) as it can damage the emissions systems in the fuel tank (filters, etc). Also, depending on the grade of where you are parked at the station, that may also affect how much fuel you can get into the tank.

The 2022 model do has a chain instead of the 2021 which has a belt

Mariko is irreplaceable, even if she's not impressed with stuff like that.

I did not since I forgot my membership card at home.

Not to mention that the CX-5 looks much better inside and out.
