The 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport is a good value, but it’s light on performance.
Pros Good safety tech Low price Pleasant styling
Cons Far from sporty Slow acceleration Cramped back seat
Nissan has elevated the styling of the 2020 Rogue Sport with a new front and rear design, LED daytime running lamps, and a redesigned grille and hood that contribute to a much more chiseled look. Nissan also has added two new colors to the Rogue Sport's palette: Nitro Lime Metallic and Monarch Orange Metallic. Additionally, the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of driver-assistance technologies that was previously offered on the SV and SL is now a standard feature on all trims. If you're looking to spice things up, Nissan also is offering a new 19-inch wheel design that takes its inspiration from its luxury cousin, the Infiniti QX50.
Pros Sleek exterior design, efficient powertrain, great standard safety features.
Cons Sluggish acceleration, coarse engine sounds, lower trims lack some commonly found features.

Cons Noisy engines Underwhelming power Mediocre fuel economy Lackluster quality
The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport packs a lot of features into a small and somewhat practical crossover body.

PROS Well-equipped for the price Excellent warranty coverage surpasses that of many rivals
CONS Ride quality is very rough over bumpy roads Many interior materials look and feel cheap to the touch Transmission is aggravating due to slow responses Raucous drone while accelerating, especially with 2.0-liter engine
