![]() The steering is too light and there’s too much understeer when you push the Rogue Sport hard. Just like the engine, the Rogue Sport’s suspension and steering aren’t very sporty. Around town it has adequate power, but accelerating on the highway takes patience.Īccelerating the Rogue Sport isn’t entirely fun, since it takes longer than expected to get up to higher speeds and the CVT doesn’t really help either. That horsepower rating is on par with its Honda and Toyota rivals, but we do wish that the Rogue Sport had a bit more “sport” under the hood. The four-cylinder is mated to an Xtronic continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive is optional. Under the hood the Rogue Sport is only available with one engine, a naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 141 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. That helps the Rogue Sport feel more spacious inside than its rivals. What’s interesting is even if the Rogue Sport is shorter than the Rogue, it’s the same width as the 2020 Rogue at 72.3 inches. The Rogue Sport measures 172.8-inches long, which means that it’s about two inches longer than the HR-V, but basically the same length as the C-HR. At the rear the biggest update are new taillights and at the top of the range, the SL trim level gets stylish new 19-inch alloy wheels. Standard LED daytime running lights also top off the look. The more sculpted face not only grabs your attention more, but it also looks classier. We do like the Rogue Sport’s new face, which is now more aggressive, to help it stand out in the crowded subcompact crossover segment.
