This new generation Rogue has pleasant styling which I also find to be better looking than the model it's replacing. I think Nissan did a good job on their bestseller.
I don’t like the interior is only black, which looks very inexpensive and cheap. I also don’t like the black that’s on the rear bumper. The rear exterior is attractive, but the front lights are not appealing. It looks like the previous Jeep Cherokee model, which I personally think is hideous. What I like about this car the most is how far the doors open, but it’s not a new thing for Nissans. 2002-2006 Altima’s doors opened wide also.
I think they got everything right on this one and it is a very competitive redesign. Compared to other manufacturers, RAV4, loud engine, and Escape, cheap interior. Nissan was able to keep the positives of the past generation Rogue and add to it. I like the style but, really, nothing in this category of vehicle wows me. The compact SUV is about practical functionality.
I do not want to even hear how everyone likes this car. I'm so mad at Nissan for putting out such crap products. I work at a used car dealer and all these altimas and sentras are complete unsalvageable turds... People still buy them. Why??? A transmission every 60k miles is not reliable
The new Nissan Rogue looked polarizing... until the new Hyundai Tucson was revealed! Compared to the new Tucson, the new Rogue is tame! Both will turn heads, but for different reasons, I think.
It is a very intresting vehicle, affordable, I liked the fact that it seems to have a smooth drive, maybe not as fun as cx5 but has a lot of features and a lot of value.
@@yupitsme112 Congratulations, Sherry. If you would indulge me, is your Altima a stick shift or an automatic transmission? How many miles does your Altima have on it?
@@yupitsme112 I'm sincerely happy for you, Sherry, and it sounds like you've dodged a bullet --- so far. I'm not here to judge your experience. Who knows? Maybe it's how you drive. Maybe it's the terrain where you are. Maybe most of that 140,000 miles is on the highway. Or, maybe you're just lucky. The truth is, most Nissan owners probably never have a problem with their CVT transmissions. But the other truth is, all CVTs are, on average, less durable than traditional automatic transmissions, and Nissan's CVTs have been particularly problematic compared to other brands. And although there is no toyotacvtfail.com, or hondacvtfail.com, or, for that matter, chevycvtfail.com, there is a website called www.nissancvtfail.com/?p=home that aggregates published complaints and developments around the web about the subject, and it's there for a reason. To be fair, Sherry, Nissan isn't the only car company with significant service issues regarding continuously variable transmissions. Subaru is another brand with a similar plague. And I'm not saying all Nissans are crap. I still love its trucks. Historically, pre-CVT, Nissan enjoyed a solid reputation for dependable transportation as the value leader among Japanese auto manufacturers. But the insane quest for every last drop of efficiency, combined with the shameful management influenced by Renault's part ownership of this once great Japanese auto manufacturer, has cost its fanbase and its reputation dearly. And its prospects for a comeback continue to diminish. I hope it can recover. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the struggle is real. At 140,000, you might be driving on borrowed miles at this point. Maybe you'll make it to 300,000, and I hope you do. But if I were you, Sherry, I'd be seriously looking to trade in while you can.
I had Nissan pick up for 20 yrs, never had any major issues. Got in an accident so when it was time to get a new vehicle, I went with the Rogue Sport. Feels smooth and haven't had any issues. My only complaint is the rear view mirror is directly in my line of sight when making right turns/getting on rounded freeway ramps so I have to look under to see clearly. Annoying, but my fault for test driving cars at night.
This is a decent synopsis of this vehicle however auto journalists need to start doing a better job of evaluating the ADAS systems. We are in the market for a compact SUV and the ADAS is one of the biggest factors for us so it would be nice to get more than the all too common "it kinda works okay...except when it doesn't". Is this a real value added system? How does it compare to market leaders Hyundai/Kia and Tesla?
That's a fair critique. It's tricky because the flaws in various ADAS systems don't always manifest during a short press loan but your point is well taken.
I’ve noticed that if you do some searching you’ll find that safety institutes post their videos of ADAS systems in action. Spoiler; I saw a Nissan kill several dummies. 😳
The thing that I don't get, is that, back in 2014, when the Jeep Cherokee came out, everyone HATED the front end design... but that similar design language has somehow made it to many others cars- like the new Santa Fe, and this new Rogue...
After owning a 2014 Nissan Altima SL and transmission going out at 40k miles. I will never buy a Nissan again. I don’t trust those CVTs. I never drove fast and rarely floored it.
Except for the front end which looks like a Hyundai with a Nissan grill, the rest of it looks like a Jeep Cherokee or Compass. Too derivative of other vehicles. At least the old Rogue was distinctive. And as Scotty teaches us, Nissan transmissions are crap. Lease, don't buy.
Nissan started with the divided headlamps! Please check the actual Patrol, and Juke, this Rogue follow those design elements. Nothing similar with JEEP, you’re blind bro.
Good point about wide opening doors. I cop mystery door dents and scratches on every new car I buy. Avoiding densely occupied car bays when I can. Gets expensive after a while.
Super fun review, Micah! I'm digging the conversations w/ Evie about various aspects of the car... A neighbor just bought a black one, and it immediately caught my eye. I think it's handsome (in a Nissan sort of way). Sounds like I need to drive one! Let's hope Nissan can get a handle on their reliability issues... I hope this new Rogue is a big hit for them!
I like the new look but that splash guard with 18 plastic clips and 2 bolts make oil changes a lot longer plastic clips wont last through to many oil changes also cvts need to go ☹️
I enjoyed watching this video and seriously considering this vehicle. Nice family review. Good job and wish you success for your channel :) Your daughter is adorable!
SUVs aren't my bag, not a fan of them, I used to want a explorer but found out real quick how "clunky" SUVs can get, I was raised in 4 door sedans(and a coupe but it was a hand me down p.o.s)and that is the only kind of car I want in my life
Retirement community beige isn't the best color but the problem with this car is that it's no fun. I like the styling and the interior are cool. I agree about the brown. Color in the interior really makes the car feel inviting, but only if you can tell it's not just more black. Needs a turbo and an 8 speed.
I think having the main headlight on the bumper and DRLs at a place where headlights used to be conventionally, is the new trend in automotive industry. And not many auto companies could justify with the newly evolved design language. Check out Tata Harrier and it looks so macho and powerful in the face with that form factor.
Nvm the rogue and I know this is a year old, but your daughter looks way too young and small for even a high back booster. I also noticed you didn’t have the front facing latch attached either. Just something i wanted to point out, especially if safety is important to you 🤍
Muzios...gone rouge?? Glad Nissan has finally done a little something about the ancient styling on this vehicle...but too little too late maybe? The markets flooded and the options are vast which makes this mode of trasport a bit bland for my taste. Salt Bae save me from the humdrummery! Nice vid Muzios, we do love your fam reviews. And Micah, how dare you flash so much gam in the family freindly segment. Tsk to you, sir. (obviously kidding, sarcasm online often doesn't translate) Keep 'em coming you guys!!
Numerous improvements over the last generation Rogue. But I hate, hate, HATE the trend of putting the headlights just above the front bumper. I live in the Pacific Northwest. With every spring thaw many tons of rocks and gravel come down from the mountains onto the highways below. Drivers soon learn they have a choice; stay far behind gigantic trucks or replace a windshield every couple of years. (If they're lucky.) Putting the headlights just above the front bumper makes the problem even worse. The Camry just ahead may well shoot a rock into your headlight. To be fair, the Rogue isn't the worst offender. That title probably goes to the Hyundai Palisade. But the Rogue isn't much better. Put the damn headlights where they belong at the top of the fenders!
@@MicahMuzio Well, if you and your family find yourselves moving to a mountainous locale with spring runoff such as the Pacific Northwest or Colorado, you'll learn about the issue. :)
I had a Ford Focus with the CVT Transmission. I had so many problems with that transmission I was eligible for a buyback from Ford. I don't know if the buyback would have happened if I had not complained nonstop, about the amount of downtime with that car being repaired. Even if all the problems with the CVT have been fixed, I never want another car with one. If all vehicles go to that transmission, then I guess I will have to move where I can get a bus or a train.
I will get the all black sport package all black affair then it will look a little better hiding its ugliness 🤣 but I love the new in interior came a long way 💪🏽
The CVT is fine until it fails while you're paying $450.00 a month for the privilege, and the only repair is a $4,000 bill. Then it's not okay no matter what your driving style is.
How bad is the steering on center? That's the one thing every reviewer has mentioned, and honestly every modern Nissan I've driven requires a lot of effort to keep the car going straight.
Im interested in this too. My t32 fwd had great on centre. Moved to a Subaru that has no centre and was hoping to trade for the new rogue. Now I’m nervous. Does it track straight or wander?
