Can 2021 Redesign Get Nissan Rogue Back in Line With Rivals?
Touting it as “more than a redesign,” Nissan said it would reveal the next generation of its popular Rogue SUV on Monday. Shown with the announcement was a front-quarter view of the 2021 Rogue that depicts some significant changes, among them a subtler take on Nissan’s V-Motion grille than the hood-to-ground design implemented on the redesigned Altima sedan.

Also notable are two levels of horizontal lighting, with a lower section — possibly the headlights — perched in an outboard bumper opening while a second band of lighting hugs the hood above. That’s a layout reminiscent of everything from the 2014-18 Jeep Cherokee to various current Hyundai models, though Nissan can claim its adoption preceded theirs (see: Juke).
The current-generation Rogue has been around since the 2014 model year, but competitors have surpassed it. Nissan’s popular SUV placed mid-pack among Cars.com’s classwide comparison of compact SUVs in 2015, but amid redesigns of major competitors from Honda, Toyota and Subaru, the Rogue fell to last place four years later.
What does Nissan have in store for the next generation? We’ll know more at 9 a.m. EDT on Monday, when the automaker reveals the redesigned 2021 Rogue.
