2009 to 2013 was the first gen with the redesign coming in 2014 with the exception of some 2014 and 2015 special editions being first gen body's. I own a 2013 with 196k and having the tranny replaced at 192k. My wife.picked up a 2012 with 36k 4 months ago. Do not buy a new Nissan, resale is horrible. If you look you can buy a used one fully loaded SL model for 15k+ less than a new one only 2 yrs old with less than 30k. CVT in them is still garbage and I wont buy one, the only reason I let my wife is because she hardly drives and it had super low miles.
I consider myself a car enthusiast. I’ve always owned cars with RWD bias like an Infiniti G35 and Dodge Charger. However, with a stay at home wife and two children, I got my wife a top of the line pathfinder SL for the family and a Rogue for my commute across state for work. I am pleased with the flatness of the Rogue, the comfort, space, value, and excellent gas mileage. Yes, it does not accelerate like the 300 horsepower cars I’m used to but it’s smooth enough for my day to day commute. I was looking for value when I purchased this vehicle not necessarily fun. I will try to baby the CVT. I have a 2020 model so I am hoping they fixed most issues. The Pathfinder is heavier and feels more luxurious but it’s literally double in price. I am looking forward to getting as much value as I can out of this vehicle. It is larger and cheaper and better looking than a RAV4
Mi esposo me regalo uno y es lo máximo estoy feliz con mi auto 🚘 súper cómodo y práctico para el uso diario. Espacioso y económico en gas. Selos recomiendo 😁
A lot of people put the Rogue down, but we bought a 2017 and immediately camped coast to coast in it and back. In 77K miles the only casualties we had were a dead battery and needing a set of tires. Regular transmission fluid changes are they key to longevity of the CVT. Unfortunately, they can't handle a 12 point buck impact at 35 MPH.
While I agree with almost everything the reviewer states, he missed the back seat cupholders. He stated there were none, but mentioned the armrests. The cupholders are IN the armrests! Just fold the armrests down. My husband and I have noticed since we purchased my SLWD, in 2016, that the Rogue is by far more popular than the pricier Murano. We got an excellent deal with everything that is on the Murano, but for less money! The only thing I do not like is the V-4 engine. I previously had a V-6 and loved the get up and go. Everything else is an A+!!!! I think Nissan is making a mistake to discontinue the Rogue. Why would you discontinue your best seller???
@@occckid123 she's one of the few exceptions, my girlfriend has had 2 of them replaced both under 50k miles... Nissan is a mess right now. Buy Toyota, Honda or anything Korean.
I own a 2017 Nissan Rogue SV. It isn't a sports car but I think a nice v6 would fit under that hood as easy as the 4 cylinder does I think it is low on power. My mileage over the road interstate driving is about 30.5 not bad. The seats boy all seats should for the human body like these do I have never adjusted mine. The sound package was not real important but the Premium Bose is good to go. If I could only get around the personal property tax in Virginia I would buy the 2020 model.
I have a 2018 Rogue that is much more comfortable than my spouse's 2017 Rav4. The Rogue really shines on the highway and in a head to head cross country drive, got slightly better mileage than our Rav4, as well. Both vehicles have been 100% reliable.
We're on our third Rogue and have loved EACH one. They're GREAT cars! I don't understand "automotive professional's" issue with it. Like you said, they're overly critical and I feel they've lost the connection to the real world. The Rogue may be due for a redesign, but it's STILL a great car that has GREAT features, looks good, is spacious, very comfortable, nice ride, great on gas, great AWD system that's killer on snow (way better than CRV's AWD), it's reliable (we haven't had any issues with any of our 3 Rogues), and on top of it all they've all been priced cheaper than their competitors. Like, DUH! No wonder it's such a hot seller and why they're everywhere, much to the bewilderment of "professionals." Great review, BTW! (Our current Rogue is a 2017 SL AWD w/premium and platinum packages, coming off lease next month and we love it so much we're deciding to keep it!)
Great vid. I am currently in a 2017 Rogue SV lease about to expire. My 2017 model includes Nav, bird's eye cameras and heated seats. With a slightly bigger budget, I thought I would treat myself and went to Infiniti dealer to attempt to lease either a QX50 or QX60. To my shock, neither of these models had base options anywhere near the humble Rogue. To get navigation AND heated seats you had to go up several levels in packages with a huge price increase . I could not believe that Infiniti offers leather seats only in an upgrade package and does NOT automatically include heat option - you have to pay extra for heating leather seats? And yeah, Infiniti offers ventilated leather seats - but again, you gotta pay extra for this. In the end, even with incentives, Leasing either Infiniti model with Nav & Heated Leather seats ended up with a higher deposit requirement and a higher monthly payment compared to the well equipped Rogue. My biggest complaint about 2017 model is unimpressive seats. Yeah, engine is a bit noisy and not as powerful as Infiniti. But for me these minor issues not worth the extra money. Even though 2020 may represent end of a model series, with all them options AND Zero Gravity seats, it is probably gonna end up being my 2nd Rogue. Thanks for the great review!
Thank you! Yes the Rogue offers a lot of options that even some luxury cars don't have. Its a very nice compact suv and there is a reason why so many people buy it.
i love this SUV. i have a 2019 and it's handling, economy and power is so much for the asking price. i have driven mine thousands of miles without any problems. it is just that good.
brian centi I work in a service department and I’ve seen 2014 models used as cabs and ubers with over 200,000 miles still going strong. Routine maintenance and these cars last a long time. Most customers are extremely happy with them. I’m excited to see the 3rd gen rumored for next year.
A RU-vid Channel with no name i have a 207 rogue as well and my CVT seems to be doing fine! Im trading it back in though because i’m sure it won’t last
A RU-vid Channel with no name I clicked this comment to ask the same thing. I know all cars can break no matter what, but the cvt scares me. I like some of Nissan designs but the cvt is just not working for me. I had a 2012 Sentra and that held up fine. Even did a cross country move from California to New Jersey just fine.
Gas tank is trash. Not big enough, same size as a sedan but burns twice as much gas. Super basic. Just got rid of a Sentra..Nissan is trash. Glad I bought an Outlander.
Only thing I don’t like is the engine, on ECO mode the engine “lugs” at slower speeds. It sort of groans or growls I guess. It’s like driving a stick shift sounds like your in too high of a gear for the speed.
BEAVIS I never use the Eco seeing on my 2017 Rogue. It has no throttle response at all, like 2 cylinders have disappeared. I didn’t get any better mileage than from the standard setting anyway.
This is my 3rd Rogue and I absolutely love it. I dont think I would be happy with any other car. It is good on gas, driving a Rogue is very comfortable. I also love its style. Very classy.
Beware: Airbag light turns *ON, for no apparent reason, after 100km, it cost $150 for diagnostic and then more $$ for repair. Mine was a 2015 rogue, and the airbag recall apparently covered upto 2014 and not 2015. There are many other frustrated Nissan-rogue customers that have this same issue.
My dealer sells a gillion of these. They have their own lot with probably over a hundred of them. Most don't care about the CVT I guess. Your right the CVT is best when driven normally. Once you push it the sound/feel is horrible. But honestly the real reason many people don't like the Jatco made CVT is they have had many years of reliability issues. Rogue being one the most affected models. Although I think for the most part, they have fixed allot of the issues. Just do the maintenance and change the fluid often. Like every 30K miles and make sure you have a Nissan dealer do it (it ain't cheap) . Another glaring fact about CVT's is they offer a cheaper upfront cost to the maker but will cost more to maintain and replace for the owner. I personally won't own another CVT.
The fact that you had to type all that babble to try and defend this gynormous shit box, is just more proof of why I'll never buy one. My girlfriend hates hers, and is going to trade it for a Hyundai. Better quality now than nissan and you get the 10 years warranty to boot. Nissan can lick my ass
At 250$ a pop for transmission fluid changes once a year the cost of ownership isn't worth the cost savings upfront. Add in horrible electric problems and poor gas mileage this car should be discontinued
@@MrDuceOwen people just buy these because they're cheap upfront. Probably has the lowest MSRP for a small unibody SUV type piece of s*** on the market. Plus Nissan will do a lot of discount just to move it.
There is a Dealer accessory option to add two USB charging ports to the center console for the rear seat passengers. My '19 Rogue SL came equipped with them.
Great review! I think reviewers are too harsh when reviewing CVT transmissions. When you get used to it, it can be a lot smoother that a traditional transmission; especially in city driving. I drive a 2018 Rogue and my lease is up in a few months.....so I've been test driving all of the competitors and their transmissions are jerky when hunting for gears. I love the rugged looks of the RAV4, but I was shocked at how bad that transmission was. The Escape just seemed to be searching for the right gear at lower speeds.....same with the Equinox. I drive 90/10 city/highway miles, so I think CVT's work great with the type of driving that I do. Any incline will highlight the shortcomings of the CVT by exuding a loud groan when you make it work a bit.....but I'll take that over the whiplash jerk that the RAV4 exhibits on the same incline or intersection. I know buying a Rogue or any SUV with the CVT can be risky because of the cost to replace them, but I think all of the competitors newer 8 and 9 speed transmissions will have as many problems as the CVT's in time.
I liked this review, just a comment. When you are saying things like “it gives you much more ...than it’s rivals “, you should try to give examples of what you mean. In regards to safety features, for example, a CRV will give you lane keep, adaptive cruise, so will the Rav, but they don’t offer 360 camera or rear braking. That’s the stuff you may want to expand upon. Otherwise great review and I like how you give your opinions-such as others overstating the negative attributes of CVTS. Keep up the good work!
It's a great car! I have Nissan Rogue 2014 S and I've been using for 6 years now. And still runs smooth, super reliable car. I've installed Android head unit on it and I like it. If you want to check it out, watch here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qLD7OAtU1Ic.html
The 2020 Rogue drops the Platinum Reserve Interior Package which offered the tan leather seats with quilted leather inserts, which are more comfortable than the regular leather seats in the SL.
I got exact same model and same color as this one. I've driven 4500 miles so far and has gone on a 2 weeks road trip to canada.. There was one issue with the censor on front glass and had to replace it other than that, it's been very good. Good fuel economy and its safety features are awesome. Recommended.
The Rogue's suspension is kind of special. If you push it down from the trunk, it feels very soft and the vehicle sinks immediately with a slight push from your fingers. But when you drive it, you kind of feel it's relatively stiff and doesn't generate a lot of body roll when you make a turn. It's kind of a combination between softness and stiffness to handle different road conditions. Also I hate the usage of the word "droning" by the critics. It's just the engine noise when you rev it up, even from a non-CVT transmission. It happens to every non-EV vehicle when you push the accelerator to the floor.
Well, CVT's have a certain whirling sound when pushed and its not good IMO. My BMW X3 with 7 speed ZF is only a 2.0 liter but does not sound/feel like that. Not even remotely so. Also has 80 HP more. Yes I know it costs ALLOT more but my point is OEMS use CVT because the upfront costs are MUCH lower but the maintenance and repair cost of CVT cost significantly more for the owner. Performance wise the CVT is garbage compared to many of the newer multi geared transmissions. ZF being one of the best IMO. Also many of Nissan's Jatco transmissions have had years of reliability issues with extended warranties and lawsuits and class actions to prove it. Much of that has been fixed but even some of recent models were still having failures. This is why Nissan has a bad reputation with many buyers now. Also know you will need to pay more to service it. Fluid changes are expensive and you need to do it every 30K miles. IMO, its just not worth saving money on the upfront costs. You definitely don't want to be owning one outside a power train warranty. Make sure you get the extended warranty.
“line trace control” is a cool feature, i like how light and nimble it makes the power steering while driving. Makes for a great smooth cruise and it can minimize body roll when cornering using the electronic brake distribution system. With it off, it seems the power steering is stiffer and feels more in touch with the road. EBD is pretty sophisticated and instantly responsive. The EBD in combination with the AWD system makes a very effective and dynamic traction and chassis control formula. Been driving a ‘15 rogue for over a year on dirt roads and new england winters and its a great small SUV 👍
I like the Rogue, have rented them a few times. One of my issues with it for long road trips is, it's a little narrower than the CR-V and the Cherokee. For some reason, I am sensitive to that, and it feels like a smaller space to be confined in for a long time. That's the same reason I don't like the Forester, which is even narrower. The only other complaint is it has kind of a cheap feel to the interior, and the engine/performance seems a bit weak.
Going from a 2017 Rogue SL black to a 2020 SL white and I am happy as can be. Even with some of the cons, the pros totally outweigh them and I got the best deal saving me lots of money compared to the lease deals Subaru and Toyota were offering for their SUVs.
Anyway, I am not an American or Canadian, but to say that Nissan should merge with Honda so that Nissan would change its name back to Datsun at the same time Nissan/Datsun too would become great again. But, prior to that, Honda would forge a tieup with Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries (where the Kawasaki bike company is part of it), and even India's Mahindra & Mahindra (which makes cars in a cheaper method) as well, as India's cost of labour is inexpensive than the rest of Europe, UK and Ireland, US, Canada, Australia, and NZ. (especially both Honda and Nissan/Datsun deeply struggle in the Indian market as India preferred to overtake China as a workshop for the rest of the globe) Thus, when Honda already forged engineering deals with Kawasaki and Mahindra, therefore Honda, so do Kawasaki (unless when Honda buys Kawasaki Heavy Industries), would take over Nissan. And in the end, Acura and Infiniti would cease to exist. Mitsubishi Motors on the other hand, would merge with utility vehicle expert Isuzu instead... (sorry for the words)
I just got my 2020 Nissan Rogue sl awd yesterday. It looks really great. It has so many electronic things. Maybe too many. Certainly more than I'll ever use. I gave my 2013 Kia Sorento ER with a six cyl. I loved that car. My older son needed it for his growing family. The only really bad thing about the Rogue is that it's underpowered. Living in NYC doesnt allow me to go too fast so it won't be a problem. I expect to have many good auto years from my Nissan.
Did you buy it from a dealer who offers lifetime Powertrain warranty? Many dealers offer lifetime Powertrain warranty on Nissan Rogue. This means that you won’t never have to worry for your engine or cvt transmission.
Im conflicted on if i should get a 2020 rogue or wait for the new design next yr... I absolutely love the 2020 and im scared I wouldn’t like the new design
@@pitbullmom213 I agree. Too boxy and rugged. Current Rogue is just a great car inside and out and what a bang for the buck, the best bang for the buck imo in that class. Acceleration is a bit slow, but that can be adjusted using the sport mode. I had a black model and now getting a white model and I am excited! Love the Rogue in white!
ARMundra im getting a caspian blue SL trim, i love the white, my current pathfinder is pearl white, my titan white, and my sentra 😂 but they don’t have a white one at my dealership in that trim
Aint even let the video load or watch it just wanted to say Nissan and the CVT transmission are fucking terrible and to stay away from them if your able to...to each they’re own though
This is verry nice but a lill under powered id think..that comming from a 2006 murano owner..once ur used to the awesome power or that 3.5 ltr v6 this would feel somewhat sloppy for me power wise..but would i buy one ?..hell yeah i would 👍😉
I have a Serra Nissan 2017 Rogue. bought it in 2018 brand new for a year and my first week of driving it the brake system gave me problems. Later the roof leaked. Steering wheel makes noises lol windows make noise when letting down or up. Smoke came out of gas entrance. Oil Leak in engine. Smoke comes from exhaustion pipe. Glad to hear about new and improved rogues.paid 27,000. So disappointed.
In comparison with my 2023 Subaru forester Premium, my wife's 2020 Nissan Rogue SLawd feels like in the escape pod. It is horrible! The seats were designed for very short people. If you adjust them higher they move forward to an amazing extreme, removing any legroom. I should add, in the interest of fairness, that I'm 6'1" tall, and I'm built like a spider (all legs). I'll concede the luggage arrangement is excellent, the flat-bottom steering wheel helps what ever legroom the car does have! The sunroof is better than my Subaru's sunroof. The window's are like the slits in a tank, adding to the claustrophobic feel of the car. Also, the car's forward-facing mirror is great for parking. I like the placement of the coolant temperature, which is directly in front of the driver, instead of in the information pod on top of the dash.
I went with the RAV4 haha But yes the Nissan Rogue was a really nice car all the Bells and whistles who knows mite drive this car for a while switch lol we will see great vid by the way thank you
Everytime I rent an SUV, I always make sure we get a rogue. That’s how much I like them! And I drove just about all models; S, SV, & SL. Even the redesign one the SV w/leather and sunroof. Great vehicles! That’s why you see so many of ‘em on the road. I’m thinking about getting a use 2020 SV w/sun & sound package. (If I find a orange one I’m in). Best SUV for us.😌👍🏾
@@joannfelters8198 Yeah, after I got my 2017 Rogue a few weeks ago, I'm noticing Nissans left and right. The front end is very distinctive, esp. the day time running lights shaped like an arrow. Smart thing to make the front the same across all the models.
Everywhere i go people say nissan makes checp, unreliable vehicles...plus their transmissions fail frequently. I keep wondering why the nissan rogue sells so cheap in my country and it only adds to my suspicions.
Nissan built nissan rogue like shits , I have one 2017 it so so bad , engine so weak, cvt transmission so bad it tear down after 30000 miles , nissan cars are junk cars, do not wast money for nissan cars.
I have a 2017 Rogue and love it. I did my homework on the CVT, most of those problems were before 2015. Since then the problems have seemed to be minimal. I love the hidden storage feature, thought that was genius. Also agree the interior is not outdated like some people think for some reason. Agree with the complaint on lack of power outlets, especially in the back, and also would point out that he power outlets do not stay on after the key is turned off, at least in mine. So, you can’t leave your phone in the car when you go in a restaurant or whatever and charge it. Biggest problem I have found is that the vehicle has terrible blind spots in the rear view mirrors, the worst I have ever seen in any vehicle I’ve owned. Blind spot assist is a very important option for the Rogue.
I bought a 2016 back in February. The dealer called me yesterday to let me know they may be able to get me into a newer one with a lower interest rate due to the pandemic.
Look at all the other SUV's in that class prior to Nissan introducing this model. Nothing stood out until Nissan brought the 2104 Rogue out. It set the styling bar very, very high and Toyota and Honda scrambled to find something to compete. It took Toyota over 6 years to figure out they needed to just change the entire look and try to push the design in a different direction. Honda still hasn't figured it out and continues to keep the same style they've had. In my opinion, Nissan seems to set the auto industry on it's ear when it introduces new models. (Maxima, Altima, and new Sentra) I'm pretty confident that the next gen of Rogue will once again set the standard for this class of SUV. If you just do not like CVT's then nothing Nissan does will make you like them so keep looking.
