The 2025 Nissan Rogue has a roomy interior, lots of cargo space, and good mpg. All-around comfort and driving precision are lacking, but overall this is an appealing small SUV.

2025 Nissan Rogue Review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

11/12/2024

With its comfortable seating and handy cargo and storage, the 2025 Nissan Rogue is a small SUV that goes big on utility. We also think its crisp lines and creases also make the Rogue one of the more elegant designs among its peers. Outdoor-inclined owners should find the new Rock Creek trim level an intriguing choice, while commuters and road-trippers will rejoice at the Rogue's new optional hands-free driving system and EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 33 mpg combined.

Edmunds spotlight: 2025 Rogue takes to the rocks and the highway

For 2025, the Rogue gets Nissan's off-road-oriented Rock Creek trim level, first seen on the larger Pathfinder SUV. The Rock Creek trim won't be displacing any Jeeps out on the trail, but standard all-wheel drive, 17-inch satin black wheels, all-terrain tires, and reinforced lower-body trim make the Rock Creek more robust than its streetwise counterparts. A tubular roof rack with crossbars offers a place for toys and accessories. For highway-heavy drivers, the Rogue offers Nissan's ProPilot Assist 2.1, a system that allows hands-free driving on premapped roads. Drivers still need to keep their eyes on the road, but this feature can help make long open stretches or grueling stop-and-go commutes less of a chore.

Competitors to consider

Shoppers looking for a small SUV are spoiled for choice, from established favorites like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 to more recent challengers like the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. The Mazda CX-50, a more rugged take on the long-serving CX-5, is one of our top-rated picks for its outstanding interior and athletic performance. The redesigned Chevrolet Equinox is another viable alternative, especially if you like buying from a domestic brand. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to help you decide if the Rogue is best for you.

Which Rogue does Edmunds recommend?

The new Rock Creek trim is worth a look for buyers who enjoy outdoor life, camping or just getting off the highway. It comes with many of the SV trim's standard and optional features, as well as handy off-road features. Its standard all-wheel drive and all-terrain tires take a toll on fuel economy, though, making it the least efficient of the Rogue lineup at 29 mpg combined. For buyers who'll stick to the streets, we'd suggest the SV. It comes with plenty of tech and conveniences including a power liftgate, a power-adjustable driver's seat and adaptive cruise control. The optional SV Premium package also adds nice-to-have touches such as a panoramic sunroof, synthetic leather and heated front seats.

Infotainment hell !

Lauren L. Eatontown NJ, 06/11/2024

2024 Nissan Rogue Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

Two days after I purchased my brand new 2024 platinum Rogue I brought it back to the dealer and showed my salesman the blank screen. He said he hadn’t seen that before and randomly pushed buttons, kept turning the vehicle on and off until the infotainment screen finally turned on. He thought it was just a fluke because it was brand new and needed time to finish its programming sequence. …

DO NOT BUY a 2024 Rogue SL or Platinum!!!

2024 Nissan Rogue SL 4dr SUV (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

We bought a brand new 2024 Nissan Rogue SL in May 2024. Almost immediately we had issues with the display/radio unit not coming on when you start the car. We called our local dealer and when we took it back in (driving an hour each way to the dealer) it, of course, worked fine. But about every 8 - 10 times you start the car it doesn’t work, meaning no back up camera, no radio, no …

2024 Nissan Rogue SL 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

We just purchased our first Nissan product. We chose a dark blue Nissan Rogue SL AWD with the premium package. Yes I did research and read the reviews, both good and bad and decided to roll the dice. I've been through the Lemon Law process in the past over a new Chevy truck so I'm not overly concerned. The bonus was that our local family owned dealer gives a lifetime warranty on the …

Expensive maintenance

Gene, 07/22/2024

2024 Nissan Rogue Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

Every 10,000 miles or 12 months it's required to check the CVT fluid, transfer case oil, differential oil. None are do it yourself checks. So every 10.000 miles you'll be paying the dealership a few hundred dollars. If any of those components fail during warranty period and you don't have record of the check, you may be paying for the repair.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Nissan Rogue, so we've included reviews for other years of the Rogue since its last redesign.
