All of them AWD as the Cleveland winters and my outside sales job requiring 20k miles per year will always have me needing AWD. I have been driving Nissan’s for the last 15 years. This vehicle has been nothing but problematic since purchasing, which is really too bad. If it wasn't for the quick instincts of the driver coming at me, I would have been in a horrific accident due to no acceleration coming out of a side street. CVT issues strike again! 2300 miles and the SUV buckles when merging onto the highway, RPMs shoot up to 5-7 when the vehicle is at 15 mph preventing it to accelerate. More than half the time it has been in the shop. So I said your telling me that I have safety features that are supposed to protect me and my family in the elements, but the elements prevent the safety features from working! And he said "that is exactly what I am telling you".) ORIGINAL POST: I have had my 2021 Nissan Rogue SV Premium Edition for 2 months now. So when water, mud, snow hit it, it disables. Took it down to Nissan, and the tech guy said that there is nothing they can do because Nissan developers are (his words) fucking morons for putting the sensors directly underneath the bumper. Safety features decided to disable themselves. (1/27/22 UPDATE: Living in the Northeast, we get all the wonderful elements. This engine is coupled to a CVT that is tuned to have the feel of a conventional automatic. Despite its efficiency, this engine feels very powerful and the vehicle accelerates rapidly when asked. Nissan achieves this with a three cylinder engine that varies its compression ratio based on throttle inputs. The Rogue has the best gas mileage of any non-hybrid SUV I looked at and its gas mileage is near that of the more expensive hybrid SUVs (I'm looking at you RAV4 hybrid). You could throw a mattress in there and sleep in there. This is also the only vehicle that has a flat cargo area once the rear seats are folded. ![]() All of the other vehicles have cargo area heights that are too short (less than 2.5 ft.). The Rogue is the only vehicle I found with a cargo area tall enough for me to carry bikes inside. Maybe they mistakenly reviewed the smaller Nissan Rogue Sport instead? Edmunds review says, "Smaller back seat". Much better than the highly praised Kia / Hyundai products. It's much quieter than the highly praised CX-5 and equally quiet to the Venza. I was looking for a vehicle that had comfortable seating, was quiet at freeway speeds, gets good gas mileage and had a cargo area with useful dimensions - tall enough and long enough to enable me to carry bikes standing up (with the bike's front wheel removed).Over about a year, I either rented or test drove a Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Venza, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Ford Escape, Ford Edge, Volkswagen Tiguan, Subaru Forester and BMW X-3.Įdmunds' review says "Elevated wind and road noise at highway speeds" so I skipped looking at this vehicle until the end and was surprised to find it to be among the quietest I'd driven. This vehicle is better than I expected based on the review I read here at Edmunds.
