Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For the 2022 model year, the Kona receives its first major makeover since its 2018 debut. From the outside, it's sharper and sleeker than its predecessors, and a new N Line trim adds a distinctly sporty look.

Pros
Optional turbocharged engine provides quick acceleration
Nimble handling makes it enjoyable to drive
Lots of features for your money
Exciting performance from the Kona N

Cons
Weak base engine
Interior is trimmed with a lot of hard plastic panels

By:

2022 is the debut year for the Kona crossover that joins the N brand's ranks for the first time ever.

Pros
Engaging handling,
smile-inducing overboost function,
aggressive styling.

Cons
Looks meaner than it is,
loud on the highway,
ride verges on too stiff.

PROS
Fun to drive
Worthwhile feature inclusions over i30 N
Funky styling

CONS
Lacking in cabin and cargo room
Cabin can get noisy
i30 N is the smarter choice as a track car

The 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport's #11 ranking is based on its score within the Subcompact SUVs category. Currently the Nissan Rogue Sport has a score of 7.1 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 28 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Ample cargo room
Numerous standard driver assistance features

Cons
High base price for class
Weak and unrefined powertrain
Tight second-row legroom
Mixed interior quality

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. 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.

Pros
Compliant ride,
spacious cabin,
fuel efficient engine.

Cons
Poky acceleration,
low-tech infotainment system,
lacks towing capacity.

By: 
caranddriver.com

For 2021 Base S trim comes with 17-inch wheels, Heated front seats and steering wheel, foglights and more now standard on SV.

Pros
Cargo space is impressive for the class
Small size means good maneuverability in tight city spaces
Lots of available driving aids and tech

Cons
Engine is underpowered and noisy
Bumpy ride when equipped with optional 19-inch wheels
Front seats aren't comfortable on long trips
