Which one do we recommend?

The SV model, which is priced midway, has the best set of characteristics for the price. Some of the highlights include 18-inch aluminum wheels, an eight-way power-adjustable 360-degree exterior camera system, and Nissan's ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving mode. The SV Premium option, which includes a panoramic sunroof, a power-operated rear liftgate, roof rails, and faux-leather upholstery, is also something we'd consider.

What about its availability?

The Nissan Rogue is currently available at all Nissan dealerships near you.

What about its performance and handling?

The only engine in the vehicle is a 1.5-liter three-cylinder with 201 horsepower, which is plenty for getting around the neighborhood. While it is more capable than the Rogue's previous four-cylinder engine, it can be difficult to accelerate to highway speeds or overtake other vehicles. The engine also drones during high acceleration. The continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) accurately replicates the shifts of a standard automatic transmission. It runs smoothly, though not necessarily evenly.

How utilitarian is it?

When properly equipped, this Nissan can carry up to 1,500 pounds.

How’s the interior?

Although there are some plastics in the basic trim, they have a high-quality look and feel. Higher trims offer opulent touches like wood embellishments. The cabin is posh in general.

Rich-looking design details such as thoughtful storage cubbies, a bi-level dashboard, and a squared-off shift knob boost practicality and give the interior a contemporary flare.

Cloth upholstery is normal, although the SV model may be ordered with optional faux-leather upholstery; the SL and Platinum Rogues come with real leather upholstery, the latter being a semi-aniline hide with quilted stitching.

The middle of the large instrument panel has the third of three Rogue digital screens. A 9.0-inch "floating" touch screen delivers bright, clear visuals for navigation, audio, temperature information, RearView Monitor, and optional Intelligent Around View® Monitor.
