Nissan has stuck with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated power plant for the 2021 Rogue that offers acceptable rather than class-leading performance. It's paired with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters and a manual shift mode, with power going to the front or all four wheels. Outputs are now rated at 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, which is about average for the segment but falls well short of the power on offer in the turbocharged version of the Mazda CX-5. We expect the 0 to 60 mph sprint to come in at under 10 seconds, but that's not as good as many of its primary rivals including the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The Rogue is rated to tow a maximum of 1,350 lbs, which is an improvement on its predecessor but still not top of the class, especially when the RAV4 manages up to 3,500 lbs on select trims.2022 Rogue Performance Photos

The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine produces 181 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque, a modest increase of 11 hp and six lb-ft over its predecessor - these numbers are similar to those offered by the CR-V. The engine features Nissan's Direct Injection Gasoline system. While there are no fireworks under the hood, we found there to be plenty of power for zipping around town, merging onto freeways, and overtaking slow traffic. Unlike last year's review of the Nissan Rogue, the power delivery of the new Rogue is smooth and effective, and the CVT transmission does a great job of becoming invisible and responding swiftly to throttle input. The transmission features paddle shifters for the manual shift mode, although this doesn't markedly improve performance. Overall, the powertrain is perfectly adequate for most needs, but a turbocharged engine option with a bit more grunt would have been appreciated.2022 Nissan Rogue Performance Specs
