For me it's the Kicks. I won't choose the Rogue untill they change that Variable Compression engine. I'm not a fan I would rather take the hit on the lower horse powered vehicle. Or skip the Rogue and go Pathfinder.
Many dealers have lifetime engine warranties or they also offer warranties over 100k miles. I always get an warranty with how much stuff cost 2 fix but never pay msrp for the warranty. Talk.them down. I would much rather the turbo than the 2.0. My coworker also has a vc turbo over 70k miles no issues and she loves the power.
The 2025 Nissan Kicks isn’t winning any beauty contests with its boxy front end-it looks more like a brick than a bold crossover. The uninspired wheel design doesn’t help either, making the overall look feel more functional than fashionable. Nissan missed a chance to draw inspiration from its retro Z or the sportty GTR siblings, which could’ve added some much-needed flair and style. Instead, the Kicks remains bland and forgettable, lacking the personality or presence to stand out in a competitive market.
I'm loving the Kicks For sure!!
The rougue next gen needs to be a bigger version of the Kicks.
Same engine? Or different. I was told rouge has bearing and link issue for engine.
Thank you
The kicks look way better than the Rogue!
I definitely don't like the Rogue screen.
Great review, sir! Informative and i liked the fact that they were side by side #jloonthetrack
rogue has a 3 cylinder motor and a historically problematic cvt transmission....kicks for me please.

You won't see that anytime soon. I've had 3 Nissans and NO issues with their cvts...they aren't racecars.
Kicks kills the rogue period
Too small for my needs..love my Rogue.😊
Thats you

Why compare the same manufacturer????
