- 2019 CX-5 AWD
Motor Trend has always been a publication where ad dollars buy good reviews. Nissan Rogue 1st? Are you kidding. Look at the reasons they dinged the CX-5:
"
Versus the "Number 1" Nissan Rogue with worse resale and a Nissan CVT. (Nissan CVTs have a proven track record of being much less reliable than Toyota's CVTs).
"
Is engine response important?
Of course, they don't even really mention the fact that it uses a rough revving, worse sounding, and more complicated 3-cylinder engine in their "review" because it's not real automotive journalism.
My CX-5 has AEB which perform well in Euro NCAP test, see here:
It also has blind spot assist radar included.
And over the last 5 years of driving it, the radar cruise control and lane keep assist camera both work great day or night.
Motor Trend is low effort, low quality advertorial.

"With a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbo engine, the 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum is down one cylinder on every other SUV here. Even so, the new engine means the popular SUV has more power while simultaneously sipping less fuel, and its sophisticated styling and comfortable cabin are major plusses."
