If the 2021 Rogue Sport were named for its performance, it would be called the Rogue Relaxed. While most will opt for the front-wheel-drive models, all-wheel drive is available for an upcharge if you find yourself traversing inclement weather often enough to justify the difference in price. The SV model is a great balance of value and features, especially considering the changes in its standard equipment this year. The base S trim gains standard 17-inch aluminum wheels while the mid-range SV receives heated front seats, a remote start system, a heated steering wheel, fog lamps, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. This year is expected to the be the last before a major redesign for the Rogue Sport, so Nissan has made only slight adjustments to the lineup for 2021. Overall, the Rogue Sport is a nicely packaged small SUV with enough visual panache to avoid fading into the background, but we wish its driving demeanor lived up to its name. The Rogue Sport delivers a smooth ride and stable, capable handling, but it could use a little excitement behind the wheel. All Rogue Sports are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and your choice of either front- or all-wheel drive-the latter is a feature not available on the smaller Nissan Kicks. ![]() ![]() It plays in the burgeoning middle ground between subcompact and compact SUVs alongside other 'tweeners such as the Jeep Compass, Kia Seltos, and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. ![]() Slightly larger than most of the mini SUVs it competes with, the 2021 Rogue Sport will still take up less space in your garage than the larger Rogue. ![]()
