The advanced driver aids are simple to use due to advanced intuitive technology. The exterior is classy and distinctive and exhibits a sense of power and control. Navigation-linked adaptive cruise control automatically reduces speed when approaching imminent curves. While the new engine includes a completely retuned transmission and has more power, the 2021 Rogue itself feels lighter and easier to drive than its predecessors.
