Absolutely love my 2021 Rogue SL. Had a 2008 SL, 2013 SV, 2015 SL and a 2018 Platinum (yes I have enjoyed Rogues that much) and they don’t even compare to my new one. So much better driving and much quieter at all speeds. The driving dynamics are vastly improved. The interior is such an improvement and feels like it should be in a much more expensive vehicle. I traded my 2020 Santa Fe in for my new one and have no regrets. After living with the Hyundai and dealing with its clunky automatic transmission, I am happy to go back to a Rogue with a CVT. I have owned multiple vehicles over the years and many have been Nissans with CVT’s. I have had NO issues with any of the CVT’s. Keep the fluid changed and treat them well and they do fine. Yes, the first generation CVT’s from JATCO had some issues but not all CVT’s from them are bad. They are much improved. If you are in the market for compact CUV, do not buy until you test drive the Rogue. You’ll be impressed. As for the comparison…. If you want the back road canyon carver, Mazda is your vehicle. No one does it better than them. I’ve owned many. They look great too. One the other hand, if you want space, cargo room and overall comfort with a much easier to use infotainment system , and a much better price , go with the Rogue.
You own all of them. But what are the mileage on them to prove anything. It seems you own them as their test driver/users. This comment don't help people looking to buy and keep them instead of trading them in every 3-5 years.
CX-5 remains the best compact 5-seating compact SUV money can buy. But Nissan has done a refreshing job on updating all of their products. For driving enthusiasts, CX-5 is a no brainer. Those who are seeking for lots of standard features and interior space would be perfect for Rogue's packaging.
CX5 still drives like an SUV and has rather rough suspension over uneven pavement. Seats are very firm and infotainment poor without touch screen. My gf and I were completely unimpressed with 30 min test drive.
Not really much of a comparison in my mind. While both have a 2.5NA, the CVT in the Rogue is already a hard no. The CX5 has nicer styling and much better driving dynamics. Also, the available turbo in the Mazda is great. About the only reasons to get the Rogue are the larger cargo area, or the cheap lease with bad credit. The reasons to go with the Mazda are everything else including reliability.
Rogue has better infotainment and digital gauge cluster. CX5 lack of touch screen is a disappointment along with firm seats and suspension (unpleasant over potholes and uneven pavement). Exterior looks are subjective. Personally I like Rogues new exterior looks compared to very feminine CX5 exterior. CX5 transmission should hold up better but turbo unlikely to last as long as Rogues naturally aspirated engine.
@@James-il3tq The CX5 has a sculpted exterior that nobody describes as feminine, and all of the fellow CX5 owners I know happen to be male. The seats are on the firm side, and the suspension is sporty, but maybe not everyone wants a driver's car. The infotainment with the control knob has a learning curve of a few weeks, but then most folks can use it with ease. The CX5 reliability is superior to the Rogue if you look objectively at CR.
@@James-il3tq wait what? I test drove both and nissan's infotainment system is not better. Yes it is touch screen but I found using the knob to be very useful while driving. The video quality is also better on cx-5's system. No it does not look feminine. Almost everyone who gets this car is a male. You do have a valid point when it comes to seats. Mazda have to work on that. Nissan also has better lane assist technology in my opinion. But the interior quality and driving feel on mazda comply blows away the nissan.
Thanks for the review Andrea and Zack! Nissan will sell a ton of the Rogues, as most consumers have no clue regarding the CVT(and they aren't reliable). For me it would be the Mazda CX-5 Turbo.
I don’t get how people find a fat cross over suv attractive. Compact suv aren’t meant to look like a rogue that’s ugly fat looking suv. CX-5 at least stays sleek. Nissan interior is meh. Shifter bothers me so much it’s like a block. Ugly block. Prefer regular shifter. Prefer non touch screen. No need for greasy fingers on screen
Just because it's new and smoother doesn't make it reliable. Only time can tell. Especially around 80k-100k miles with city driving. @@bentleysteven-leedolzadell6466
I chose the CX5 Signature. Never even considered the Rogue and never will. But hey it has some pretty tv screens....lol. Drive the CX5, there's nothing close in class. Take in mind, their comparing a brand new platform (Rogue) vs. an 8yr old platform (CX5). Again, I bought the Mazda
All I can say is over the last 25 years i have owned 8 nissans and a few other brands....I go for test drives of alot of different cars too but i always go back to nissan...of those 8 nissans not one did i have a transmission or engine problem....come to think of it i can not recall any real problems at all plus the dealerships i delt with were awesome in everyway....i am a life long Nissan fan because the vehicles have treated me well........I understand you can get a Lemon in any brand of vehicle but i have been very lucky ( knock on wood )..cheers all from Canada
CX5 suspension is so firm. While the 2021 Rogue also gets firmer suspension vs the older design, it still has that Nissan comfort that to me is the best in the segment. I love the Rogue side and back sides, but that front grille looks off. Maybe the split head lights design? And the interior feels premium. Great improvements for more ergonomic driving experience.
2021 Rogue Platinum trim is tops and classy for this segment. The CVT has been upgraded. Look at all of the Nissans with this CVT. Not too many issues with the volumes that they sell and they have improved them over the years. The Rogue is a top seller, plain and simple…..I did drive the CX5. It is a nice drive but it is small, no back seat room, and a gas guzzler. I can’t phathom giving up the luxury, room, cargo space, and tech just to have a slightly better driving experience????????? It’s not that good of a drive in my opinion….Not I. Just saying. It’s
Just wait . It might be new and smooth but their new cvts aren't much different. My friend has a 2021 rogue also but the trans is already jerky at 40k miles, and there's a fleet of rogues and kicks at my work we drive and most of them are so jerky and random with response. Meanwhile my whole family loves how my dads cx5 drives and its been the same since new. If anything it gets better mpg. Probably engine break in.
I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5 … This car has everything in spades. The new Rogue looks good but it’s reliability is an unknown factor Whereas the Mazda is already proven. The CVT on the Nissan may be good now but let’s see what it’s like in 3 year’s time. The Mazda has the best auto in the business. The road holding on the Mazda and sportiness feel is a no brainer compared to the Rogue and I dispute the findings on the Mazda’s reliability score . The New Mazda might be around the corner but such a perfect car doesn’t need much change and as for the infotainment system I’ll stick with the tech that it has .. too many things go go wrong with new tech on a new concept in the Rogue.
When Consumer Reports rates the quality of cars, it surveys its own subscribers. So it’s really capturing the opinions of a universe of its own subscribers who fill out surveys. JD Power captures a wider audience, but it’s also capturing the opinions of car owners who fill out surveys. I’m not convinced those are statistically valid methods. And that’s why I like the IHS Markit loyalty awards. Every year IHS Markit analyzes over 12 million new vehicle registrations to see what kind of car people had, and what kind of new car they went out and bought or leased. That allows Markit to measure which companies, brands and models have the highest loyalty. 12 million is a lot, and there are no surveys to fill out, so I like that methodology. Guess which car companies have the highest loyalty? GM and Ford. They usually don’t do that well when CR or JD Power rate them. But having the highest loyalty speaks loud and clear about their quality. JD Power and Consumer Reports also rate Land Rover and Alfa Romeo at the bottom. But IHS Markit shows Land Rover has the highest loyalty with full size luxury SUV owners. And Alfa Romeo is the most improved.... Years ago the Packard Motor Company’s advertising slogan was “Ask The Man Who Owns One.” That’s kind of sexist way to state it today, but it’s also considered one of the most effective taglines in the history of automotive advertising.

Nissan is making a great come back. However, I am still doubtful about their reliability, regardless of what J.D. Power says. I hope they are, though, as their product line is now very enticing.
Love your videos, but I think this has to be a mistake ... you said the CX-5 has an inch more legroom in the 2nd row? No way! I'm looking at both cars right now, and at 6ft tall it's a tight squeeze in the back of the CX-5, and WAY more room in the back of the Rogue. I loved driving the CX-5, but for the sake of my adult passengers, I'm going Rogue!
Exact review Canadians need. CRV and the Mazda would b a better comparison since both are gonna b replaced. Research jatco cvts folks. Andrea and Zack, u guys should move to Ottawa. Ottawa needs more honest ppl. 😉😉
An ex of mine had a 2009 Rogue and said it was the worst car she has ever had. I drove it and agree. Besides Nissan has the absolute worst and junk CVT transmissions of all the cat's. Look up the class action lawsuits for Nissan failing cvt transmissions. Mazda is better built and more reliable
Our(Edmund's)2018 Mazda CX-5 had a sticker price of $34,505 when it was new. After a year of driving, our odometer had about 17,600 miles on it. Assuming clean condition, the CX-5 had a private-party appraised value of $24,818. This is a 28% depreciation, which is worse than our long-term fleet average of 22%.
The suv has flooded the market place to the point of non interest Ill take my Mazda 6 Carbon any day over these. They really dont have that much more room and the driving dynamic doesnt compare to the sedan
Actually, it's crossovers that we're calling SUVs. The old-style large "SUVs," real sports utility vehicles with an emphasis on "utility," aren't really selling that much. But I agree, I'm tired and bored with the crossovers, CUVs, smaller SUVs, whatever you want to call them. Let's get some wagons on the road. I saw a beautiful Volvo wagon the other day and it really made me wonder how this tall blobs are considered "cooler" than a sleek looking wagon. I'm not saying crossovers are all bad but their ubiquity and people buying them almost as "defaults" and not seeing that they're oversized for most of them, I find that to be kind of depressing. There are still some sedans selling but not nearly enough IMO. I'm also not going the way of the crossover. Sedans or wagons for me and I don't care one bit about higher driving position. In fact, I find that to me a negative. The Mazda 6 is a wonderful car and I hope to see it constantly updated.
Please don't forget you are Canadian @motormouth. I understand having to list US price/models, but please list the Canadian ones as well, especially since the Canadian trims are usually different.
CX-5 is lovely but the two things that bug me about it gives me lots of pause. The sunroof is way too small, should be pano. And the infotainment has no touch, so CarPlay is utterly crap to use. It’s not safer, no matter what Mazda engineers say.
CX-5 all day. The smile it puts on your face when you drive it is worth a couple inches of cargo space. CVT is a deal breaker. Poor acceleration and reliability. No thanks.
CX-5 right rear legroom makes that one a non-starter for most families. Also. the CX-5 is worse on gas by quite a bit. In fact, fuel economy wise, it's kind of funny to see these particular ones pitted up against each other. The CX-5 is literally the worst, and the Rogue is literally the best.
As a newbie in Canada, can one afford a 4 runner trd off road considering the monthly payments? OR As ur 1st vehicle as an immigrant, which suvs (not sedans) u suggest considering monthly payments. I am not ok with leases. THANKS 😊
90% or more of the car reviewers pick is Mazda CX-5 for years but, for the buyers it's RAV-4, Rogue, CRV, Escape and Equinox. Check the sells numbers the last 10 years at the end The buyers (customers) have the last say.
There's nothing "rogue" about the Rogue. It may have started off life that way but now it is mainstream as can be. The interior of the Mazda is nicer IMO at least in terms of seeming more "premium." The Rogue looks generic by comparison. If the Rogue has more space, then that in itself makes more sense.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses. But the cargo capacity difference, hardly mentioned in the video, is huge. The Rogue provides 73 cubic ft of total cargo space compared to the CX-5's 59 cubic ft. In fact, the CX-5 has significantly less overall cargo space than the KIA Seltos and the VW Taos, vehicles in the smaller subcompact category.
Mazda is definitely getting a bit long in the tooth. I always thought the front end of the current design looked like a dogs snout after being stung by a bee. Ill leave you with that visual :) On gas, I was quite surprised at the difference going from regular to 91 premium made in the power band (in my Bronco Sport Badlands). Its really noticeable, and worth the extra 8-10 dollars. 94 octane might be even better but I think its half again more expensive (in Ontario). Good review as always :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

The rogue is made by Nissan and has a glass transmission
The cx 5 isn't going anywhere. They're adding the cx 50, not replacing the cx 5.
Rogue
But it's got Nissan build quality
Id get the Rogue.
Of all other companies cvt's
CX-5 all day. The smile it puts on your face when you drive it is worth a couple inches of cargo space. CVT is a deal breaker. Poor acceleration and reliability. No thanks.
CX-5 right rear legroom makes that one a non-starter for most families.
Also. the CX-5 is worse on gas by quite a bit. In fact, fuel economy wise, it's kind of funny to see these particular ones pitted up against each other. The CX-5 is literally the worst, and the Rogue is literally the best.
Hi, Which vehicle are you filming in? Looks spacious.
Cayenne
As a newbie in Canada, can one afford a 4 runner trd off road considering the monthly payments?
OR As ur 1st vehicle as an immigrant, which suvs (not sedans) u suggest considering monthly payments. I am not ok with leases.
THANKS 😊
The Rogue doesn't hold a candle to the mx-5 in terms of driving dynamics
90% or more of the car reviewers pick is Mazda CX-5 for years but, for the buyers it's RAV-4, Rogue, CRV, Escape and Equinox. Check the sells numbers the last 10 years at the end The buyers (customers) have the last say.
Not even a competition, cx5 is better in every measure aside from cargo space.
Rogue has a shitty cvt.
Cx5 thanks. 🇨🇦
There's nothing "rogue" about the Rogue. It may have started off life that way but now it is mainstream as can be. The interior of the Mazda is nicer IMO at least in terms of seeming more "premium." The Rogue looks generic by comparison. If the Rogue has more space, then that in itself makes more sense.
owning a Mazda CX5 is like owning an Audi Q5 without the Audi logo
Mazda? How about partner with Google (like Volvo) and have a native android system with a big vertical screen. Also, how about a 9 speed automatic?
Each has its strengths and weaknesses. But the cargo capacity difference, hardly mentioned in the video, is huge. The Rogue provides 73 cubic ft of total cargo space compared to the CX-5's 59 cubic ft. In fact, the CX-5 has significantly less overall cargo space than the KIA Seltos and the VW Taos, vehicles in the smaller subcompact category.
Yeah the CX5 might drive better but the Rogue practicality will outsell it. Rogue wins.
Rogue best
hard no to Nissan's JATCO CVT
Lease the Nissan Rogue and buy the Mazda for the long term
I mean cx5
CX-5 w/GT Turbo fer sure
None of the above . If it’s not hybrid I’ll pass …👍
...why
The Mazda is more of a drivers car, the Nissan is more utilitarian. I'll pick Mazda.
Mazda is definitely getting a bit long in the tooth. I always thought the front end of the current design looked like a dogs snout after being stung by a bee. Ill leave you with that visual :)
On gas, I was quite surprised at the difference going from regular to 91 premium made in the power band (in my Bronco Sport Badlands). Its really noticeable, and worth the extra 8-10 dollars. 94 octane might be even better but I think its half again more expensive (in Ontario).
Good review as always :)
