PROS Ample passenger and cargo space Upscale cabin quality Above-average predicted reliability rating Good fuel economy and handling
CONS So-so acceleration Transmission can be loud High base price for the class
The 2021 Nissan Rogue nudges its way upstream with a more refined ride and more standard features but the powertrain doesn’t take any steps forward.
PROS Clever storage areas Platinum trim More potent powertrain Stronger presence Standard safety features
CONS Only one engine Some flimsy switchgear No hybrid...yet Odd headlight design
The 2021 model year will mark the start of a new generation for the Nissan Rogue. The compact SUV receives a ground-up redesign, and its new, boxier styling gives it a more handsome and truck-like appearance.The mid-level SV model offers the best mix of features for the money. It adds niceties such as 18-inch aluminum wheels, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a 360-degree exterior camera system, and Nissan's ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving mode. We'd spring for the SV Premium package too, which adds a panoramic sunroof, a power-operated rear liftgate, roof rails, and faux-leather upholstery. Front-wheel drive is standard but all-wheel drive is optional on all trims for an additional $1400.
The 2020 GMC Acadia comes with front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 9-speed shiftable automatic.New turbocharged four-cylinder engine option.Nine-speed transmission replaces former six-speed unit.Upgraded navigation and entertainment system.New outdoor-oriented AT4 trim level.
Pros Refined ride quality makes it comfortable in any driving situation Quick acceleration from the optional V6 engine Simple cabin layout means everything is usable at a glance Modern onboard technology keeps you connected
Cons Cabin isn't particularly luxurious, even in the priciest trim levels Some rival crossovers have more cargo and third-row space Lackluster base engine
The Acadia receives a facelift for 2020, with a new grille, newly standard LED headlights, and revisions to the rear end. There's also a new turbocharged 2.0-liter engine—standard on the SLT and Denali trims—which GMC estimates will have 230 horsepower when it goes on sale late in the model year. The trim lineup has expanded to include an AT4 model, which brings off-road-inspired design (including 17-inch wheels fitted with all-terrain tires) to the Acadia lineup.
Pros Attractive design, improved infotainment, plenty of in-cabin storage space.
Cons Quality doesn't match price, cramped third row, unimpressive fuel economy.
The 2020 GMC Acadia’s expanded lineup and new styling look worth the wait.
Pros Good looks Infotainment upgrades worthwhile Intriguing new turbo-4
Cons Active safety tech should be standard A little narrow inside Push-button shifters not our favorite
