The Rogue is a roomy and user-friendly compact SUV.
We got 25 mpg overall from the all-wheel-drive version with its 201-hp, 1.5-liter turbo three-cylinder.
It's more responsive than the 2.5-liter four-cylinder it replaced, albeit with some vibration at idle, but we found fuel economy and acceleration to be the same.
The Rogue feels solid and substantial, with a composed ride and nimble handling.
Interior space is generous for a small SUV and access is very easy, particularly for the rear seat, thanks to a 90-degree door opening.
Controls are simple to use, although the electronic gear selector may require some familiarity.
The top-shelf Platinum trim brings upscale touches, such as quilted leather seats, a head-up display, heated rear seats, and an upgraded infotainment system.
ProPilot Assist 2.1 is now available on top trims.
The third generation Rogue debuted in 2021, and was a major upgrade over its predecessor.
Originally powered by a 181-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine teamed with a CVT, the four-cylinder was replaced with a 201-hp turbo three-cylinder for the 2022 model year.
Interior space and quality of materials have improved but the third seat option is gone.
A new Platinum trim brings upscale touches, such as quilted leather seats, head-up display, heated rear seats, and upgraded infotainment system.
The new Rogue feels solid and substantial with a composed ride and nimble handling.
Controls are easy to use but it may take some getting used to the electronic gear selector.
Standard advanced safety and driver assist systems, include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning, lane departure warning, and more.
For 2025, a new Rock Creek trim was added, and ProPilot 2.1 is optional on top trims.
The 2014 redesign made the Rogue bigger, better, quieter and more refined overall.
It also produced a better ride than most other small SUVs.
A tiny third-row seat was optional, while a backup camera was standard.
A clever surround-view system was also available.
The SV trim level with the Premium package will get you blind-spot and lane-departure warnings, a power liftgate, a surround-view camera system, and navigation.
To get forward-collision warning, which has been shown to be effective in preventing crashes, get the SL with the Premium package.
One note: Don't confuse this Rogue with the previous model, which is outdated and was sold as the Rogue Select. Updates for 2018 included standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking.
Derived from the Sentra sedan, the first-generation Nissan Rogue ran from 2008 through 2013.
Though it has a handy and compact size, cargo capacity is pretty puny and the sleek styling impedes the view aft.
A rear-view camera is available; we suggest you find a Rogue fitted with the feature.
The 170-hp, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine sounded a bit raspy at high revs, but averaged a respectable 22 mpg.
The CVT worked well.
Rogue's ride quality is supple and its handling fairly nimble.
Convenience features include keyless entry and a removable, foldable cargo organizer for the rear storage area.
Most controls and buttons are large and simple to operate.
However, the climate controls are mounted low and there is no radio-tuning knob.
