I've owned my 2018.5 Rogue Sport S for almost three years now and I have a lot of good things to say about it. First, I bought this car for it's overall value, and particularly because it came with safety features that cost much extra in most competitive brands - where else can you find front crash avoidance and true blind spot monitors in an entry level package (hint: the answer is "nowhere else")? Second, after driving several other vehicles in this segment, I came away feeling this was the most substantial of the bunch - I can't quantify that statement, but I can add that the car is reassuringly solid and extremely tight (as in no rattles). Lastly, and this gets to my review title, the driving performance is way better than professional reviews indicate. That is not to say this is a sports car, nor is it a luxury ride, but it is a competent small SUV that can easily merge with traffic in most any conditions. It also has no problems mustering up the energy to pass on the highway, or to cruise at 75 to 80 mph. All together, a very nice car at a great price. The only downside is a troubling A/C issue that my local Nissan dealer has not fully diagnosed. My car appears to have some faulty AC controls, or perhaps a bad evaporator thermostat. Other than that, the car has been great.* *Update 2022: the climate control situation is still there, and a quick check of the internet indicates it's fairly common in Rogues and Rougue Sports. Since I live where it is always hot, I tend to be able to just leave it on full A/C without too much trouble. But, if I switch to defrost, I run the risk of losing A/C for several hours. Wierd and annoying, but quite infrequent in my case. I wish Nissan would issue a recall, as not having reliable climate controls can be a driving hazard in some situations.

This is a good looking SUV inside and out. Love its responsiveness and maneuverability. Plenty of room for passengers in the back seat and a good sized cargo space that includes small storage areas within it to hold various items including the first aid kit that comes with the car!

We have only owned the 2018 Rogue Sport for 3 weeks. We have found everything as expected. It was purchased for a run around town suv as we have a larger suv for family time, trips and picking up large purchases. The Rouge can perform the same duties in a smaller package. Would have loved a power tailgate and power passenger seat but was not offered. Nice that it looks like a sleek suv than a square box.

Tires beware

We love this car overall. Until recently when we got a flat tire that could not be repaired, no issues. Try to find a replacement tire....next to impossible. Apparently, the tires (225/45R19 92W Bridgestone ecopia), are specific to this model according to the dealer, and are very hard to find replacements. We called around to other dealers and tire shops and found the same answer. We finally decided to replace both rear tires with another brand that was available. Why would Nissan allow a car to be sold without enough replacement parts(like tires) available. No help from the dealer at all, just drive around on the spare for two weeks until they can find a tire.

After 7500 miles on our 2018.5 SL AWD, we've found no significant deficiencies. We bought it for the tech features such as automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, various alerts, etc., but the comfort features, such as leather upholstery, adaptive cruise control, excellent sound system, and quiet cabin make it a very nice vehicle to drive. It's not a high-powered car, but has ample performance for normal urban/suburban driving and cruises easily at 75-80 mph. We'll have it for a long time unless something unexpected occurs. 2022 Update: 32000 miles. No mechanical or system problems and no OBD codes. I am not sure the engine thermostat is working properly since it seems to take longer to warm up on a cold morning. I think it would be better riding with larger tires vs. the low profile tires, but it's OK in that regard. Gas mileage is good, about 24 mpg around town. Overall, well satisfied with the car after over 3 years of use.

The CVT transmission I've been told is the reason why it doesn't immediately respond when I romp on the throttle. If I gradually press the pedal it tends to respond better but this isn't much help when I'm trying to merge onto freeway traffic. Got the Sun & Sound package that included a sunroof and premium sound system. The SL trim level included leather upholstery which is nice. Wished that the Midnight trim package was available for the Rogue Sport, alas it's only available for the larger Rogue. About six months after purchase I received a card from Nissan telling me that there's been a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) issued regarding a fault with the automatic braking system engaging for no reason. As it's still under warranty I took it in for service even though I hadn't had any problems (the loaner I used, however, did have this issue when mine was being prepped by the dealer). All that was required was a software update which took about 30 minutes.

Mechanical problems start early. Making this car worth less than half of what you pay. From day one back door doesn't close properly. Battery didn't last year and half and can only buy from dealer, within two years radiator fan went out and can not be bought after market ($320) ridiculous. Top it off 2 years 5 months in, 120k miles NEW MOTOR!!! Who would ever imagine? I'm sure I'll be replacing a transmission soon after if this vehicle follows normal Nissan maintenance. My previous Nissan Altima had a transmission replaced 105k and I've got two others with same issues with transmission. Nissan needs to go back to the drawing board with vehicles or warranty power train a bit longer. I've owed some vehicles that should have never outlived a Nissan but this one is the worst by far. I will never buy another.

I bought this car after having a 2015 Toyota Corolla stick shift, which I wrecked. I test drove several other cars in this class , Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi , Hyundai, Kia. Some outperformed the Rouge Sport , with power, others with comfort. It then came down to price. All cars in this class have same transmissions and engines , you pay more for the extra features , that later break/fail. I opted for the base model with alloy wheels. I drive 35 miles to work ( I have 35,000/bought new ), which involves mixed driving. On the interstate I cruise at 75-80 mph, no issues. Pass/merge with ease. Although "Sport" I think is play on words in looks only. In stop and go traffic it is able to keep up and move with ease,but it's not going to outrun too many cars, it only has 138-141hp. I drive alot in western NC mtns. Accelerates up steep mtns easily, it does get a little whinny but the rpms don't go past 5000. Its nimble around corners/curves . Brakes are above average, mixed traffic , curvy mtn roads .... Comfortable ride in the front . Back passengers tell different story, on trips longer than 20 miles . I rode in the back for about 50 miles and felt cramped , I'm 5'8'' and the seats were a little stiff. That's ok for me as I don't have alot of passengers riding in the back. Gas mileage is good not great, as my driving requires me to " put more pressure on the gas pedal". As I stated earlier, the price is what helped my decision, I got an amazing deal !!! I don't feel that I sacrificed anything, l enjoy my Rogue Sport !!!
Great in snow great on fuel

31000 miles/52000 kms The AWD makes a real difference in the snow and on ice. The fit and finish is holding up well with no rattles or leaks. The safety features are really nice to have with the audible alerts especially in parking lot areas. I am pleased with the gas mileage mid 30 mpg and up on long hauls. Would definitely buy another one. UPDATE: A nice reliable vehicle good on fuel and well appointed with safety features. Purchased new from dealer. 40,000 miles and no issues.

The car is the perfect smaller sized SUV with a roomy interior in front and back. I plan to take family on many trips with it. Nice safety features, however it does not have the automatic stop back up feature or the foot activated lift up feature for the back hatch like the regular Rogue. Nissan can't you add that to the Sport in the future!? The ride does seem more "bouncy" than I'd like, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

I love this car! I’ve had it for a year now, nearly 11,000 miles. It’s pretty solid. I drive mostly city miles so I needed something with great gas mileage. The safety features have saved me time and time again, especially the blind spot warning feature. It is great and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to drive a car that doesn’t have that feature. Great car, no problems, solid feel, super safe! 6/22/22 Still a great car! 12/23/22 Still a great car!! 12/28/23 I still have this car and it’s still a great car! I’ve passed it down to my teenager!

I have really tried to like this car. Yes, it is reliable and has not given me mechanical troubles. However, I just feel that for the price of this vehicle, I could have done better after shopping around recently. It just has not been what I wish for in a car. I have the 2018.5 SL which has a sticker price of about 32-33k. If you wish to purchase this vehicle, I would make sure you do so with significant incentives. For this price point, you could get get a bigger, higher quality Jeep Cherokee with more features if you shop right with incentives. It is very underpowered, extremely noisy, takes forever for the car to warm up in the winter and I am always freezing, Windshield Defroster might as well not even exist, Can barely feel the heated seats. I also cannot stand the trunk cover in the back. While it can be removed, I just feel that an SUV/Crossover should have an open trunk with tinted windows and I should not have to take my entire car apart just to haul a larger item. This car may be what some people are looking for, but I will be trading in this year for sure...for something bigger and built with higher quality (and likely for a similar price)

I bought my rogue sport brand new, after the 1st 6 months it started giving me trouble. After I fill up with gas the car cuts off, the air conditioner went out within 8 months. The engine fan went out causing it to run hot and the air to stop working! I’ve gotten nothing but the run around with Nissan and they will not resolve the issues due to they can’t duplicate the problem. I have it on video and my daughter has been with me every time these issues have occurred. I will never own another Nissan , the car and customer service are terrible

This vehicle has the loudest take off of any vehicle ( besides a truck ) I have ever owned. I am embarrassed at a stop light because I am the only one that can be heard leaving . It is smaller than the NISSAN ROGUE. so if you need extra cargo space , won't have as much as the ROGUE. If you can stand the noise , it does get good gas mileage but that is the only good quality of this vehicle .

Bought a Nissan Rouge Sport in 2018 with 11 miles on it. Ive driven it not even a year yet. I will admit that i did not have regular old changes BUT i cannot believe that ALREADY im being advised by a Nissan dealership in Texas that this car NEEDS A NEW MOTOR. WTH? I CANNOT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THAT THIS CAR WAS NOT BUILT TO LAST PAST A YEAR OF DRIVING.

Bought new and so far very pleased with the unit. Really good in the snow and gas mileage is impressive. Interior heater is slow to heat up. The vehicle has a slight surge or tug at 50 mph (80 km) which according to the dealer is characteristic of the cvt transmission. The safety sensors for blind spots and backing are excellent. Easy to get in and out of.

I have leased my Rogue Sport going on year 3 and still love the SUV. Just the right size. Very comfortable seating and plenty of room front and back. Deep storage area in the trunk and my dog enjoys the ride in the back seat. The first few months with the vehicle I had a scare with the Emerg. Braking system and had Nissan turn it off. Otherwise, no other issues and am thinking of buying it out at the end of the lease. It also has great pick up and exterior looks sporty also. Love the look of the headlights!

There are NO cooling fan parts anywhere to fix my car that is only 2 and 1/2 year old. Then the Extended warranty Nissan office don't care about, because when Nissan have you sign about that it's not under their Nissan company. Car has been in the shop since July 12, 2021 and now its July 27, 2021 Extended warranty is over and still not fixed yet. They want even give a loner car so I can go to work. Now I am going to be out of work, because I want have my car. A car that was paid off last year.

My windshield cracked for a reason that I totally don't know. My Nissan Rogue is only two months old. I took the car to the dealership and they said that something might have hit it. My thing is that for a car that is supposed to be so good it should take more that a pebble (the dealership said it could be that) to crack a window. Obviously it would not be cover by warranty . I am really unsatisfied with the Nissan and needless to say that this would be my last one . Lynnes Nissan in Bloomfield New Jersey offered to help with some of the charges and that has been the only positive thing in this whole ordeal . I guess I should have gotten another Toyota. If a windshield could crack just like that anything else could happen. Talk about safety!

I have 52,225 miles on my 2018 Nissan Rogue. My air conditioner only works if you are moving. If you have to idle for a few seconds it will only blow hot hair. Unfortunately @Nissan has no recalls for the A/C which is sad when there have been a lot of reviews and comments about this same problem.
