2018 Nissan Rogue Sport S 4dr SUV w/Prod. End 04/18 (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
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

Which Rogue Sport does Edmunds recommend?
The SV sits in the middle of the Rogue Sport model range and it's the one we recommend. It comes with an upgraded sound system, dual-zone climate control and push-button start, but can also be equipped with extras such as a 7-inch touchscreen, a surround-view parking camera system, and navigation. Instead of the SL's larger 19-inch wheels, the SV comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, which improve ride quality.

Driving
6.5Don't expect a sporty driving experience with the incongruously named Rogue Sport. This is one of the slowest vehicles in its class. Around turns, it is stable but does little to inspire driver enthusiasm.
Comfort
6.5A mixed bag of good attributes and areas that could be better. Ride quality is decent until the pavement gets bumpy. Climate control is effective, but the midlevel SV seats don't distinguish themselves. Engine noise is more prominent than we'd like, though the cabin otherwise filters out noise well.
Interior
7.5The cabin is roomy and easy to get into and out of, and the fundamentals work well. Forward visibility is solid and the front seat spacious. Four adults can fit with surprising ease, though as with much of the competition, backseat legroom is limited.
Utility
7.5The Rogue Sport has above-average cargo space, especially when the back seat is folded. Cabin storage is about average, with the usual assortment of bins and cubbies. Car seats are accommodated at the outboard positions, though the front seats need to move forward for rearward-facing car seats.
Technology
7.0The Rogue Sport's available driver aids help it score high in this category. The 360-degree camera and rear cross-traffic alert systems are rare at this price point. But device integration, audio quality and center-screen resolution are weak links in the system.
