The Nissan Rogue has it all, whether you want a car that is fuel efficient and safe or can haul heavy loads, there are many things to love about this car. This compact SUV can be spacious and offers many standard driver assistance technologies. But it can also have reliability problems.
The Nissan Rogue is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with 201 horsepower. The engine is paired with a continuously variable auto transmission, which helps to keep the engine's revs low for maximum fuel economy. The CVT delivers smooth shifts, though it does lag in response. In addition, the Rogue has a long list of driver assistance technologies, including rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and ProPilot Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with active lane-keeping technology.
The Nissan Rogue comes standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On the SL, Platinum models, a 9.0-inch touchscreen will be available. The platinum model also features a 10.8-inch head up display. It also includes a wireless phone charging pad, a 12.3" reconfigurable digital gauge cluster, and a 12.3" head-up display. There are also two USB ports. A Bose stereo system is optional.
The Rogue includes a variety of active safety features including DRLs and forward-collision warnings, blind-spot monitoring, and LED headlights with DRLs. You also get automatic emergency braking and rear cross-traffic alert. Nissan's ProPilot Assist, an active lane-keeping system, matches the speed of your car to the traffic ahead. It can also adjust your speed according to the speed limit. It also features semi-autonomous steering and adaptive cruise control.
The Nissan Rogue can accommodate four adults with its large cargo space. The front seats provide comfort and the rear seats allow for a child-sized seat. Nissan also offers a rear-seat tie anchor, which allows you attach a seatbelt around your rear middle seat. This makes it easy to install child seats in the back.
The Nissan Rogue's cabin looks sporty, with a sleek climate control vents and a docked-style touchscreen in the center console. You can also find metal accents and other durable materials. Many trims have dark-colored or black wheels. The Midnight Edition adds black trim, darker wheels, and black faux-leather upholstery. You also get a rear spoiler.
Nissan Rogue models have either front-wheel drive or an all-wheel-drive option. Front-wheel driving will increase fuel economy, while all-wheel driving will lower it. The Rogue still achieves 31 mpg when combined. The Rogue doesn't have a hybrid version that saves gas, so it will likely remain a popular model.
The Nissan Rogue's cabin feels quiet and comfortable. While it is a sporty looking SUV, it is not the most luxurious. The infotainment system in the vehicle is also somewhat outdated. Although it does offer Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and SiriusXM satellite radio on some models, these features are not available on all.
Rogue's striking design is a great choice for people who appreciate a stylish car. The Rogue's top trims offer premium options such as leather upholstery, dark metallic accents and aluminum trim. Platinum buyers have access to Amazon's Alexa voice assistance feature.
