As a manager of a rental car office, it's one of my favorites. It seems to be just right; comfortable seats, nice size backup screen, user friendly. It's definitely on par with the Rav 4. It's one I would actually buy.
I hit the 'dislike' button because I'm sick of people badmouthing NISSAN's CVT, which works great! It's just about the best CVT out there & much better than traditional automatics.
Yeah its better when it comes to fuel economy. Other than that it sucks.
Nissan's CVT is the best out there? LOL no. Honda, Subaru and Toyota all make better CVTs. But Nissan's CVTs are still better than Mitsubishi's.
Watching Alex and Roman was like watching Sofyan and SaabKyle all over again. I love the dynamic clash!
Best value and best looking compact suv that is why America's best selling non pick up truck.
YES SIR 👍🏾
if you need more backseat space:;; The back row has a bar under the seats, it allows you to slide it back and forward. Also they recline.
Nissan knows what they are doing. The power output is adequate and the CVT suites it just fine. THIS IS NOT A SPORTS CAR so there is no need to ditch the CVT. You want sporty handling and a little more go, that's what the Mazda CX-5 is for. I own a 2014 and am a family of 5, outside of the recalls (which were promptly taken care of) this thing has delivered in every way. Wind noise, engine noise, none of that matters in family hauler. The kids are so loud they drown out the 9 speaker system on occasions. Get the CVT out of the Maxima - YES, but it suites the Rogue just fine.
Cagroetry Also, if the CVT is going to cost families money, then yes, there is reason ditch it. That actually happened when my friend had a Rogue and because it costed him and his family a lot of money, they had to get rid of that car.
Alex has a point on the uphill shift, I've got a CVT and hills are just not an issue anymore, while with my SO's car it will be a hassle upshifting and downshifting the car uphill ESPECIALLY if someone in front of you slows down and you lose all your momentum.
Muddyspartan dude right as I read this comment he started talking about 😂😂😂
I'm a guy and this is a car I would buy. It's a CUV and smaller one at it.
I really like the Nissan Rogue. It gets great mpg and is comfortable and easy to drive. It can even come with a 360 camera which makes it extremely easy to park.
When I had my Mercedes 300se I drove it like I had the Queen in the back seat It just felt better that way - When I had my BMW 318ic and latter my VW Jetta GLI (both with 6 speed manual) I drove them aggressively as sports cars - I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue with CVT and I don't drive it like it was a conventional automatic... I press the gas slowly and progressively, my acceleration more than keeps up with traffic and I get better mileage than the specs say I should - On hard acceleration like freeway merging the slow and progressive pedal minimizes the engine racing -- The point is drive a CVT as if it is a CVT.
No leather with a 3rd row is code for "we want to up sell you to a Pathfinder". - Nissan
No doubt!
I was thinking the same thing.. I would def. buy that SL with a third row, but not the Pathfinder. That's a loss sale Nissan.
In Europe they do Leather and 3rd Row.
raph84 this is 'murica. You think anyone gives a fuck bout Europe
Actually it's because the SL (the one with leather) has a Bose sound system. There's a Bose subwoofer in the back. It can't fit there with the third row.
I just bought a 2017.5 Nissan Rogue SV with the premium package and love it. It’s a city car and does great!
I was about to buy the 2017.5 Rogue SV, with the moonroof package, But I hear the 2018 Rogue is being released either the ending of October or early November. So I'll just wait , maybe the SV will have a bigger screen center console.
I have the same car as you do and i love it
@@recordgalaxy so what did you end up buying?
It’s not that the electric boot door is working 50% of the time but rather the fact that you should step back after signaling your presence so the proximity sensors sees that try w door will not hit you. #besmart
It's funny when car guys say they don't like CVTs, like I understand it's not as fun to drive or sounds as good, but so many vehicles now use CVTs. Some of the most reliable and high resale valued cars have CVTs in them.
they Break soon
Outdoor Enthusiast Channel Some CVTs just break down. For example, my friend actually had a Nissan Rogue and because the transmission was costing him and his family money, he had to get rid of it.
Expensive to fix .. less than 100 k and they go
This is better than the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4, I'll admit.
Look or engine? Engine wise the CRV, CX-5, rav4 is better.
stockjonebills
Looks. However, I think I posted this comment before the 2017 CR-V came.
The Mazda CX5 beats them all!
John Appleseed I feel the crv is better
Super Ninja cc zzz x😩😩😩😩😩😳
Nissan is struggling these days, but I have to say the Rogue is actually a really good car. If I was considering a Small SUV I would consider it.
God Speed 913
My friend Nissan just had best 2015-16-17 year. Who told you they are struggling? Do you know now they are too close to Toyota in sales in North America?
@@grumjpy facts! They sold over 400K last year and that was the number 2 SUV in America behind the RAV4.
We’ve got 60k on the clock now on our 2017 Nissan Rogue SL Platinum AWD. No problems, except when the battery went bad the dash threw all kinds of crazy codes and the lights (inside and out) stayed bright. I had no idea what was wrong and had it flat bedded in to dealer. This Rogue is quiet and more refined in every way than our 2012, but I still prefer the 2012 as a daily driver. Even though it’s the top trim-level seat, I can’t get comfortable in it like the 2012. Seat comfort tends to be subjective, so I would still recommend it to anyone needing a reliable used car. The next model is even better. Family member has a 2023. Great vehicles across all models.
I just got the 2017 Nissan Rogue SV. I absolutely adore it. Thank you for this review as I learned a couple of new things about My car
How is the car condition right now? Is still comfortable and reliable? What is the weakness point of this car?
The transmission busted! They asked me at the dealership if I went over snow. I had gone over the smallest bit and that completely broke the transmission. I have a 2020 Altima now and I hate it. He rogue is still my all time favorite
@@AddictionToAwareness Hmm... it seems that you like SUV rather than sedan... thanks for your respond, appreciated it.
@@AddictionToAwareness couls you tell me at how many milles you buy it and at how many milles the transmission stop working after? Please.. i just bought a rogue 2017 with 100k milles ...
@@kennyplayer7731 I bought it brand new. The transmission went out at about fifty thousand miles. So it seems like you are good to go. Honestly it was a really great vehicle
If they would loose the CVT and gain an extra 10 pony's under the hood I suspect it would sell even better. On a side note I recently got my wife an 08 KIA Rondo with a 2.7L and I was pleasantly surprised at how peppy it is. My wife who has some physical challenges says its also easy for her to drive. She likes the visibility and the controls and stuff are easy for her to reach. I would like it even better if it was AWD. Its got a surprising amount of cargo room for such a small car.
Traded in a 2008 murano which was a complete nightmare for a 2017 rogue. Was worried about going from the 260hp v6 to a 175hp 4 cylinder, but I prefer the rogue other than being smaller. With the murano cvt, I would either get no response or it would rocket. I has trouble finding the right spot to get it to take off smoother. The murano is more luxurious, but I prefer the rogue.
I have this rogue in the video just put a K&N performance air filter in it it will increase mpg and horsepower a bit better acceleration then a factory filter
That's funny I like your and Alex's reviews ,I don't watch much else for reviews. You guys are quite different but I like the way you both review .
I generally watch both as well. Two very different approaches.
rcr
Why did the led running lights get smaller on the new Rogue ? It was better looking before
I just got rid of my 2015 Pathfinder and got a 2017.5 Murano. Didn’t really consider the Rouge, but it seems like a pretty good vehicle that is worth looking into.
I am in the market for one of them new ones are just ugly in the front will be looking for this body style Rouge.
I have a 2005 Acura TSX. I love the car, but it’s time for something newer... and AWD. A few co workers have these. They love them. I’d read My share about the CVT... I’m sure it’s fine.
SV is the middle trim and comes with keyless entry and automatic headlights standard. With most of the competitors, you have to go to highest trim to get both options.
Loved the pairing of Roman with Alex!! from Cut and Shoot, Texas -
loved the guest appearance
Mother-in-Law suppose to go on Roof Rack not third row seat.
i have a 2015 SV AWD rogue and i love it. gets the job done
I've been waiting for the 2017 Rogue to come out due to some of the changes. Looking for a daily commuter that gets OK MPG. Hoping they will be available in the next month or so even though dealers have literally 100's of 2016's to sell that I'm sure you could get a decent price on now.
Like the new Blue color as well. The older Blue was OK but had more gray in it and was kinda dull looking.
So were you able to buy a 2017?
Love seeing Roman and Alex together, my two favorite car reviewers!
man my favorite reviewers on the same car, such a nice surprise
I like my Nissian Rouge. It's bigger than the Ford Escape and has way better gas mileage.
Interesting reflection... 10 years ago in 2007, the midsize sedan market was the hottest segment in the US. Nissan that year introduced the redesigned Altima (their best seller), along with an Altima Hybrid, to take on the also-then-new Toyota Camry Hybrid. Fast forward about ten years, the compact SUV is the top segment in the US, with RAV4 and Rogue now outselling Camry and Altima. Toyota introduces a RAV4 Hybrid and Nissan takes them on with the Rogue Hybrid.
I can feel the power of the rogue
I see this thing in every corner every day! Damnit
The headlights are blocked at night by lens surround. Drive on dark unlit road before you buy!
Wtf are you on about?
Are you going to have Motoman ride along next week?
Awesome video, learned so much.. Excited to show every person that walks into my store.
Thank you Fast Lane Car.
For your new and used car needs in the Greater Toronto Area.
I wish they would make a 3.5 version nismo of this vehicle instead of the hybrid!
cant meet EPA cafe standards with that. gas prices will only go UP
Top trim needs a 3rd row option. That would make this perfect. Or, at least offer the driver aids in the SV trim.
That one reliable Motor good job Nissan 👍🔥🔥
just bought my 2017 SL today :)))
how do you like the 17 rogue I was thinking I getting it but I heard the power was weak! but I also heard they fixed that problem on the 2017? how do you feel about the horsepower
Jae Montage I cant complain. it is a beautiful car in and out. and the cvt transmission actually has a nice pull. plus you got the paddle shifters. I went with the all black SL model. worth it
Angels Visuals thank you I appreciate it
@@AngelLopez-rc3nd Is your car still fine until now?
Should have Bought a Rogue in
stead of an Accord,LOVE THE BLUE!!!!!!!!!
I just don't enjoy Roman anymore. Anytime he jas a cvt-equipped car he drills into are heads how much he doesn't like them. Dude shut up, we get it the last 39 times you said it. That being said, I love my cvt in my 2014 Maxima hehe.
I totally agree! I love a cvt!
A CVT with a V6 is better than a CVT with a grainy 170 hp 4 cylinder. The Rogue's powertrain is one of the worst engine/CVT combos I've ever driven.
nothing wrong with the cvt. i just wish they didnt try to mimic gears. does nothing for performance and if anything it wears it out faster.
Looks sleek, but I don't know why people would buy this over the CR-V which has more power and higher quality.
cheaper, right now in my area a base crv is like 25k while a rogue sv the second trim is like 23k, just no comparing what you get for your money.
Nearly all the workers at Nissans TN plant (where this thing is made) are long term temps with little benefits and pay.
A little too broad there. They brought in a lot of contract workers after the recession, but they have converted quite a few of those to Nissan's payroll. The contract workers are making $15-18 per hour, which is on par with entry level workers at GM and Volkswagen and compares well with other manufacturing in the region. They do have benefits, though not as good as what Nissan direct employees have. Unfortunately contract employees are here to stay in US manufacturing. Even UAW shops are farming out part of the operation to contractors and on-site vendor operations to hold costs down so they can compete with Mexico. Most of the folks in that $15/hr job were making $12 at their last one so they are happy to be there.
is Rogue going hot. the nissan will import it from korea or japan. and you know where is top rogue from.....
Jobs jobs jobs better than unemployment right?
Was gonna get the new crv but the fact that I can't get a panoramic roof ruined it for me
Never really considered rogue but hey maybe ill consider it because i heard its super reliable and plus now it looks so nice too thanks to you guys :). thank you for the review. As always great job, let me know if u like my content 🤔
OutOfThisWorldTV not at reliable as you'd think. The CVT on my 2013 Rogue went just after the warranty expired and Nissan did nothing, leaving me with a $4500 repair bill.
Alex don't be nervous
why does this guy always sound out of breath like he just got done doing sprints?
I got nissan altima with cvt before it never let me down i like cvt gear so now many germany American even korian put cvt gear in thr cars and still ppls complain hhh
More like a more SUV cuv compared to a rav 4 or crv. Love the rouge
Wait let me get this right; this is or could be a 3 row seater?
i do lack sleep...
I thought the 2nd row can move backwards. The 14s and 15s and be moved back to have more room.
I work at a Nissan dealership, and having a 3rd row in the Rogue is so useless.. you can only put babies back there lol
Yea I sat back there to see it’s for kids...but who cares I don’t have kids!
How would you compare / contrast the driving dynamics of the new Rogue with the Subaru Forester? Similar engine sizes, both with CVTs.
With all due respect, and by any means this is not a hate comment, I fail to understand how this car is more "female" because the technology is simpler to understand. Are you implying that woman aren't capable of operating a screen on a dashboard? Im sorry I loved the TMLC channel but after hearing such remarks, I have to give it a dislike. Also, only woman have mother in laws to throw on the back seat? this is ridiculous. I know the comments only relate to the cars, but I had to point this out. As a female car enthusiast, Im offended that woman are perceived in this way. Anyway ill be moving onto other channels.
I liked the Star Trek joke. Lol...
this guy leaves lots of questions unanswer.
Does the back have the same headroom in the second row? I have dogs so its a must have.
Ummm I have a 2017 Rogue and it gets 35 mpg+
I would have liked to see the 3rd seat
nice review
Like everything but the CVT makes it a no go. I expect to keep my new cars 10 years. Everything I research indicates the CVT won't last the distance.
xomthood mines 5 years old, goes off road and tows, used for work- no issues. Nissan has been doing CVTs a long time now. They know what they are doing
Why do people always think that these types of vehicles are for racing??? Go get a Fcking sports car!!!
Actually the NISSAN ALTIMA is Nissans best selling car because based on sales number the ALTIMA outsells the ROGUE by 10:1
So this is just an X-Trail T32? So was the old Rogue model the same as the Exy T30/T31 underneath that naff styling you guys got?
2016 Rogue SV or a new 2017 Rogue? What do you all think?
Its official nissan rogue beat crv and rav4 in sales. (Feb - March 2017) Congrats! 😍🤤
this sport wont lol
Jae Montage it already did
But the sport didn't come out in march
Jae Montage ohh smaller rogue yea its not part of it. Im talking about regular
OutOfThisWorldTV I like the rogue but it's slower than my Altima. I might wait till the 2019 come out. Supposedly it will be different. And hopefully apple car play! it's weird that they didn't add CarPlay to the new rouge sport
How tall are you? I’m 6’3” and fit perfectly behing
Kristopher Soto Aquino It is good to find out that there are people on the earth with decent growth. Me too, 6'3". hehe
lol 6:20 Call Me Al music commences.
Hi, TFL Team,
I own two 2017 Nissan Rogues SV and SL. My only grievance with them is smaller fuel tank. I have to gas them up very often. Whereas my 2017 Maxima SR It takes 70L and gives me 800km. Whereas Rogue takes only 55L and it gives me about 500km. Which means more trips to gas station and I hate it. I wish Nissan would put bigger tank in it. Please pass this question to Nissan and I will wait to watch video where you could get me any answer from Nissan. Cheers!!!
Mogambo bizarre, we get bigger tanks in our XTrail which your Rogue is based on.
so any stranger can open the back door with the foot? i've seen that in all the new suvs.
Alex is awesome!
So poor that this day and age cars still don't have rear seats that slide back to allow more room. Alex reviews are excellent; he is quite a humble dude. I am hoping some day Roman will have comparo which all wheel drive is top dog in snow and ice. Your'e supposed to kick like a girl to open hatch on first try.
tiredrummertube the back seats do slide back, he just didn't.
Any news on Hybrid?
29mpg is good? I've considered anything under 40mpg to be poor the last 20 years. When looking these days, I look for north of 50mpg, my Qashqai returns around 60mpg.
They keep the mileage down to sell more gasoline for the oil companies. Damn shame when the EU gets much better mpg, but it is measured differently.
David Wright I get 17 mpg
60 with a diesel, right? One thing you have to keep in mind is that imperial gallons are quite a bit bigger than US gallons. This Rouge would get 35 mpg on the imperial scale. You also have to keep in mind that US drivers will not put up with the small engines that are generally used in European models and also that US models tend to be heavier in order to meet US crash standards (it usually takes an additional 150+ pounds just to meet the rear impact requirements).
That was with US Gallons - we measure in L/100KM over here, I used Google to convert the actual values I get into US gallons. My mileage in Imperial would be around 74mpg.
The Nissan/Renault 1.5L diesel is a very refined engine and will get the Qashqai up to about 110 - 120mph cruising speed on autobahn - although obviously it won't get decent mileage at that speed!
David Wright Unfortunately diesels are few and far between here. The diesels we do have end up not being all that great after they manage to choke them down with emissions equipment.
In Denmark it's called
Nissan x-trail
How about the fuel comsumption ? Eco ??
Lease or buy?
nissan rogue family ftw
That engineer is really beautiful
What the hell is he talking about. There's no camera on the roof. There's a camera mounted behind the windshield there's one on each exterior door mirror and your backup camera. There's no camera on the roof so if you have a whistle there something else wrong with your vehicle
where would you put a third row in this car?
I have one and the center console armrest is useless
Can you tell me about the break pedal on the car?. Why in the middle and why so damn hard to press?. Or did I get an older car? I really want to like it but my foot hurts only after 5 minutes
I will wait for the CRV 2017
did he mention the price?
where is the 2017 Mazda cx5?
what type of gasoline does it use?
I used to love CVT's, in theory. Then I drove a rental Corolla with one up a busy mountain pass. O, M, G...I hated that thing.
R3G3N3S1S try the Altima V6, CVT is much better
CVT's are all garbage no matter what car they are put in.
Depends on the type of driving you plan on doing. If you plan on doing a lot of spirited driving and highway driving, a CVT is probably not for you. If you do a lot of city driving and stop and start a lot, a CVT is perfect.
There are obvious benefits to a CVT. That's why many carmakers are fitting their vehicles with them. But carmakers like Subaru and Jeep shouldn't even consider them for their vehicles. My personal opinion is that they take away from the driving experience. I would rather have a V6 or V8 6 speed any day over the CVT no matter what type of driving I'm doing.
I want one
do these cars have the camera in the back
Add a turbo or dct then we will talk
It's ALEX!!!!
Does this have the star-stop engine feature?
