Navigation system

Navigation system Is terrible I put in an address it takes me to the general area and says you I have arrived where the number that I put in of the place I want to go could be miles away They should be ashamed of the engine performance and that CVT transmission sucks otherwise it’s an OK vehicle I just don’t know why it’s so popular

I love this car, however, the housing/material flimsy. It’s not thick, but thin. The slightest ding can cause issues and/or replacements of parts. The front bumper has popped loose… I don’t know why. Service will be done this coming Tuesday and I’ll have to pay I’m sure. Year warranty out but the mileage is under 12,000 a year.

Great car, terrible tech

As a car, I really like it - decent acceleration, very comfortable ride, nice seats, lots of storage, not noisy, reasonable visibility. The adaptive 4WD is very nice. The driver assist features, though. I drove this as a rental for around 500 miles, primarily on highways, and by the end just stopped using cruise control entirely, as that opted you in to adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. Those features nearly caused 3 accidents just over 500 miles - the adaptive cruise control lost track of the car in front going around a (mild, 45 mph) turn, and gunned the engine into what would have been a rear-end accident if I hadn't been quick with the brake. The lane keeping tried to side-swipe two different semis that were drifting into my lane (one from very high winds, one presumably from a sleepy/inattentive driver). In addition to avoiding the semis and getting safely clear, I also had to wrestle with a steering wheel that kept trying to jerk sharply towards the trucks, plus the bonus shaking and flashing because I was partially on the shoulder in one case. Aside from the straight up dangerous aspects, the adaptive cruise control is miserable. I measured it, and any time the car in front of you is within a quarter mile, it will slowly (and with very little visual indication) start matching their speed. This means you have to constantly monitor the speedometer to see when you start to slow down, which defeats the entire point of cruise control. Once you notice this, you either switch to manually controlling the speed (defeating the point of the adaptive control), sit behind a slow semi for forever, or sit in the passing lane for an excessive amount of time (because the adaptive cruise control won't close up behind the car in front), which is rude and inconveniences other drivers. For added fun, the lane keeping makes it look like you're drunk - it pinballs around the lane. It's also super flaky - snow will mess it up, using the windshield wiper fluid messes it up, sometimes it just cuts out. So if you don't want to have to recover from one of its rounds of flinging itself from side to side when it cuts out mid-fling, or just prefer to drive in a straight line, you have to fight with it *the entire time*. After 2 hours of driving, my arms were literally sore. It's possible there are ways to disable these "features", but since the car was a rental and not mine, I didn't investigate to deeply. If you're ok not having cruise control, then this might be an ok car, but otherwise look elsewhere.

Even though I bought the base model, it is very roomy, excellent gas mileage, good sized data/entertainment screen, bluetooth, impressive safety monitoring, etc. Just found out how to use the auto hi/dim feature - love it!

I had 2 of this car and both had strut problems and you could hear snapping noise from the car while u are turning the wheels in low speed. Otherwise comfortable ride, even better than rav 4. Interior with good quality.

I bought my low mileage (23,000) 2020 Nissan Rogue SV second hand at the beginning of January, 2024, and have owned it for a bit more than a month. So far it is everything I had hoped for. Roomy, comfortable, a pleasure to drive - handles wonderfully. And it's getting great gas mileage. Love the Caspian Blue paint job.

Will never want another Rogue

We've had a Nissan Rogue now for over a month as our usual car is in the shop. I cannot say how unimpressed I am with it. Average performance - which is fine for us as we just want something that is reliable, not something to race - but the gas mileage is a complete joke. City driving it gets 18mpg and that is in Eco mode. How is it that any car these days can get such horrible gas mileage? Cars 40-50 years ago did better than this. Will also add that the lane departure warning is spotty and more annoying than helpful. There should be a way to turn it on and off so it doesn't go off while driving in typical sized lanes in cities.

When I bought my 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport (NEW) I loved it! But when winter hit I found out I was lied to by the dealership. I said I needed an all wheel drive and what they sold me is an automatic all wheel drive. And it doesn't work right and I have pulled my self out of 3 near crashes due to this!!

We bought the 2020 Rogue SV because it's a nice suv and had great rebates but now it's in arbritration because Nissan can't seem to fix the malfunctioning AEB system.It's in the shop again for the 4th time since i have to give them one more chance to solve the problem,I hope they do solve it because besides the AEB issues it's a nice vehicle and i don't really like the 2021 Rogue because of no xm radio

2020 Nissan Rogue SV

I’ve had my Rogue for 7 months now. I bought it used from a rental company. I’m not really satisfied with it. I do a lot of traveling and as the hours pass by it becomes uncomfortable to ride. Now my screen has gone out on my radio. My phone still works through it as well as my radio. The screen is just black. I do however get about 37 miles to the gallon on the Hwy so that’s a plus. I’m thinking about trading.
