Rogue SL AWD Doesn't Disappoint!!!

After test driving and researching the Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee, we decided on the our Jet Black Rogue with beige leather interior. It comes with a panoramic sun roof which fully extends back to the second row of seats. We love the electronics, GPS, LED lights and overall look of the interior and exterior. This vehicle has six camera's that allow for excellent views while your backing up. I also love the heated seats, dual AC/heat controls, heated exterior mirrors, blind spot warning lights and did anyone mention the lumbar spine control on the drivers seat? I will say this could have been added to the passenger seat for the price of this vehicle. If you want a vehicle with more zip I recommend a 6 cyclinder which we opted out of due higher gas costs. I noticed in the comments that no mentioned the sport and eco modes. Living in the mountains of Tennessee, I was concerned about the zip going up and down hills. No problem there. I switch to the OD/off or sport mode and have all the pep I want climbing the hills. I love that I can save gas on the highway with eco mode. Overall, my Rogue gets great mileage! I also enjoy the "keyless" ignition. Good bye to fumbling and digging in my purse for keys. Love, love, love this vehicle. A very satisfied customer.

We have had this vehicle for two months, and so far, more positive than negative. Exceptional gas mileage. Complaints on the car mostly concern its different transmission, the CVT. You just have to learn how to drive it. You won't win any drag racing from a stoplight, but normal driving, this transmission is really smooth. When starting from a standstill, accelerate as if an egg ere under your shoe. Gas mileage is about 26 around town. Very roomy especially back seat. Attractive interior, comfortable on long trips. Compared it to an Explorer which is 6 inches wider and 6 inches longer. Basically, it drives different and takes some getting used to.

We purchased the SL model with leather interior. Overall pretty happy, coming from owning 5 Lexus, it was a bit of a new experience not to have all the features of a Lexus. But we will adjust. The disappointing thing is the blind side warning. It only starts once you reach 20 miles and hour. Not good if you are pulling out of a parking spot or driveway.

I only had the car for about a month, but I am very pleased with what you get for the price, I look at other SUVs in the Rogue class, but none I found came with the Navigation system standard....it was always an option. I am also impressed with the ease of steering the vehicle and the safety features and the overall ride is wonderful! 8-9-17 Update: Almost two years and I still love this vehicle, my only complaint is that this car can be extremely loud especially at acceleration and I understand Nissan have made the 2017 model quieter. Outside of that I am extremely impressed with this car and would definitely buy another one.

Does it ever make you wonder when reading professional car reviews if the writer thinks he's testing a sports car instead of a CUV. You read things like" CVT drone" uninvolved driving characteristics, slow acceleration etc. I've got a lot of driving experience behind the wheel and I can tell you the Rouge doesn't disappoint. I didn't buy the vehicle to be able to hit 60 in 6 seconds or test its high speed cornering ability. The Rouge just feels good offering a pleasant controlled ride with little to no springboard effect, unlike some I tried while test driving others in this class. The steering weight is ideal adding to its car like feel. The interior is nicely finished and the cloth seats quite comfortable. The Rouge features an unusual adjustable shelf system in the rear that provides an array of choices to fit storage needs or privacy. Although there is a downside as the shelving may be too flimsy to support heavier items. Must admit I had some reservations over a CVT as opposed to the more flexible 6 speed auto/manual transmission I prefer. Happily those concerns were unfounded. Yes under full acceleration you'll notice increased engine noise but overall the vehicle interior is pretty quiet. And there is an allowance to use engine compression to slow vehicle speed when appropriate, a commendable option for an AWD equipped vehicle. The main purpose of the CVT is efficiency which pushes the Rouge up in the MPG ratings. There may be better choices if you plan on towing or carrying heavy loads. But the Rouge should satisfy most family needs, it even comes with a 3rd row seat if so desired. While I prefer my luxury vehicle for long trips, the Rouge is more enjoyable to drive on the windy hilly roads that prevail in this area. I feel better knowing my wife now drives a vehicle that can handle all types of weather and road conditions. Not to mention the utility value of today's CUV's. Followup: After a year of ownership haven't changed my mind about this vehicle. Despite some negative reviews we love the vehicle and the flexibility offered. Been trouble free, one call back handled promptly by the dealer who threw in a free car wash. Vehicle now has 17,000 miles (sept 2017). Despite owning a sport sedan, this remains our vehicle of choice, it's just plain enjoyable to drive. Not what I'd call a turnpike cruiser but can't be beat for all round use. Mar 2018 - We're still extremely pleased with this vehicle entering our 3rd year of ownership. The Rouge has become a family favorite despite the availability of a more luxurious vehicle.

We upgraded from the 2013 Sentra SR to the 2016 Rouge SV for our college-age child. I honestly can't say enough about this vehicle. It looks great, and feels great. I upgraded to the Pearl White exterior with charcoal interior and it's a beautiful car. The ride is very smooth and it handles very nicely. The interior feels very roomy. I also especially like the flexibility in the storage area in the back, as several other reviews have mentioned. There are many safety upgrades with the 2016 that are well worth it. My daughter's favorite thing is the heated seats and mine is the auto lift gate. We highly recommend the 2016 Rogue SV.

Running Rogue

This is my third Nissan Rogue and each one is better than the last. The car is comfortable for a wide range of heights, I'm 5'2" and my friend is 6'4" and we both fit comfortably to drive with good visibility. The Rogue is the only car that I found that has the surround monitor where I can see 360 degrees around the car with the four cameras. The navigation system is very easy to use and the bluetooth quality has improved since my last Rogue. Acceleration is okay, but not great; we make jokes about the "roar of the four". All in all, I am happy with this car and the deal I got and when this lease is up, I will probably lease another Rogue.

I give this compact SUV a 4 1/2 star because nothing is perfect! It is a well constructed vehicle, solid with well thought out design for both comfort and convenience . I do wish the passenger seat had power controls, and both had the seat lift, but that's minor, it is comfortable enough without it, just would of completed my wish list. I love how it drives, and it handles the road well. I read the reviews about the larger side mirrors causing a blind spot, but I bought the package with the oncoming car warning light, and besides, I have always put the little mirrors from Walmart to stick on the side mirrors for better vision anyhow. ALL vehicles have a blind spot somewhere, so come on, invalid complaint! The other con I read was lack of strong acceleration, okay, but if better gas mileage is important to you, what would you expect? That's the trade off, but I haven't found that to be a problem with me, so it's an individual preference according to how you drive. I looked at & drove just about all the crossover SUVs within this price & size category, and to me, it had the best interior quality, options, and all around if not better, ride & comfort. Gas mileage is right on, if you drive it conservatively, which after owning a Prius for 5 years is simply a habit now for me. I shopped for 6 months, trying both the 15's and 16's , then narrowed it down to 3 makes, Nissan Rogue, Ford Escape, & Hyundai Tucson - (3 best for comfort, ride & amenities) and I chose the Nissan. Most all car manufacturers are pretty competitive with the overall vehicle performance and reliability apart from a few glitches now and again, if you get a lemon (and you are protected from that if you pursue it) their sales depend on it. The Nissan manufactures are as reliable as any out there, so for me it was the best QUALITY for the money.

CVT cables replaced at 24000 miles thought it was tires from vibration. At 32000 repeated . Transmission replaced. At 10000 miles front end clicking when turning wheel. Front end parts replaced . 64 years old when I bought this as a new car. I don't beat on it. I have owned a 1998 Nissan Altima, as well as a 2009 Altima loved them. Too many poor engineering decisions to list.Such as air conditioning dual climate doesn't offer max air. Things get trapped under front passenger seat almost impossible to get out. Seats fold down not level flat. Gaps in folded down seats. Emergency call button activated 3 times when not calling. Be careful when reaching for sun roof. I don't use it might as well not have it. Passengers get out of back seat belts dont retract properly causing drive you crazy rattle. Width of rear rail gate narrow not good for cargo. Hood moves like it isn't shut on high speed interstate driving over 60 mph . When checked its shut. Looking for mid size SUV run the other way!!

many positives on the 2016 nissan rogue ... size is perfect (184" long), descent ground clearance, excellent rear storage, sunroof is awesome on the SL trim. The styling of the 2016 rogue i prefer over all (toyota rav4, honda crv, kia sportage, ford escape) ... perf leather seats are very comfortable. usability of the roof rack is awesome! on the negative, here's the changes i'd like to see: 1. engine is a bit small ... still stay in the 2.5L but up the HP to 190 and TORQUE to 195 2. SL trim bring in ventilated front seats 3. flip rear glass on the rear hatch please (for us dog owners), and just plain old usability features for quick access to the rear 4. CVT ... internet is rampant nissan w/CVT failures ... i keep my vehicles for a LONG time (16+ years, 200k+ miles) ... there are too many internet posts w/regards to nissan CVT failures ... drop the CVT for the 7 speed transmission, or at least provide the option of a manual transmission
