Edmunds Rating
We like that the Rogue Sport comes with a lot of advanced safety features as standard equipment. The spacious cabin and generous cargo room are nice too. But on the downside, the Rogue Sport is one of the slowest vehicles in its class. It also has an uncomfortable ride on city streets and is generally underwhelming to drive.

What's new

- Part of the first Rogue Sport generation introduced for 2017
The 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport is a smaller version of the Rogue, not a sporty model of Nissan's popular SUV. Its looks are sporty, but its driving dynamics are standard. This extra-small SUV is larger than the more affordable Kicks, and if you're considering a sedan, it costs about the same as the midsize Nissan Altima. It's a good choice for someone who wants something smaller and more maneuverable than a Rogue, and it's easier on the wallet.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport SV 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.35 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.

Avg. Compact SUV
Considering its size, the Rogue Sport has plenty of passenger and cargo room. It also offers a long list of standard and optional advanced driver aids, some of which aren't found in rivals.
But the little Rogue Sport does have some drawbacks. Its acceleration is slow, fuel economy is average at best, and ride and seat comfort is subpar. If you're shopping around, you might want to take a look at the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Hyundai Kona and Subaru Crosstrek. Those higher-ranked rivals are similar in size and price.

Which Rogue Sport does Edmunds recommend?
The midlevel SV trim hits the sweet spot in the Rogue Sport lineup. For not much more than the base S trim, the SV trims adds keyless entry, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver's seat and a better audio system. Opting for the SV Technology package adds more driver aids including adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera.

Nissan Rogue Sport vs. the competition
2022 Nissan Rogue Sport
2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Nissan Rogue Sport vs. Chevrolet Trailblazer
The Trailblazer tops the Rogue Sport in most categories. It has more passenger and cargo space, has the advantage in tech, and offers a more comfortable ride. With the optional engine, the Trailblazer is more powerful, more fuel-efficient and a little quicker. But when it comes to driver aids, the Rogue Sport has more to offer. Neither SUV is particularly fun to drive, and both offer all-wheel drive.
Nissan Rogue Sport vs. Hyundai Kona
Besides having a smaller cargo area and fewer standard driver aids, the Kona is a superior SUV. Its infotainment system is more modern-looking and easier to use and comes with larger screens. The Kona is also more fun to drive and more fuel-efficient than the Rogue Sport, and the optional turbo engine is powerful and delivers quick acceleration. The Kona's lower starting price and additional trim levels only add to its appeal.
Nissan Rogue Sport vs. Nissan Kicks
If you don't need all-wheel drive, the Kicks is a great alternative to the Rogue Sport. It's smaller in size but surprisingly offers a bit more cargo space, and it has the same or slightly better head- and legroom in the front and rear seats. As in the Rogue Sport, acceleration is slow, but the Kicks makes up for it with better fuel economy. The Kicks is also more affordably priced, and it comes with much of the same tech and driver aids found in the Rogue Sport.
