Saw this on AA (audioasylum, that is... not that other AA).

Fresh off a substantial redesign for 2021, the Nissan Rogue enters its sophomore year with a new engine option. On tap is a version of the brand’s variable compression technology, applied to a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-banger good for 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. And, as is Nissan’s apparent M.O., the CVT ‘box remains.

As someone quipped in the thread @ AA: "What could possibly go wrong?"

Looks like a 2013 Toyota Rav4 with a bolted on front end and rear.

One Japanese car maker imitating another one?
Perish the thought!

I hope the 1.5l engine doesn't suffer from no cabin heat like the CR-V.

Can't make heat with tiny aluminum foil like motor....

See that's why you need the Binford 8.9L triple overhead cams and dual 8bbl Holly carbureted motor.... Now it makes HEAT!!

Man, just think of revving up to 6000 RPM on that 1.5 liter powerhouse and doing a neutral drop at a stop light !! 😲
Think the chicks won't be impressed by that ?
Think again Padre !
The sound of those tires squeaking as the CVT inches that Rogue through the intersection......whew !
Putting the "Zoom Zoom" back into driving. 🇯🇵

3 cyl turbo engine.
My guess is the motor lifespan is going to be very short.
