I just drove a 2024 Nissan Rogue SV-AWD (with the panoramic moonroof) for the weekend. Initially, I was a bit unsure of it, but it really grew on me over the three days I drove it. I like the styling inside and out, and the quality was impressive. The engine was peppy, and the transmission was so good that I didn't think it was a CVT. The seats were very comfortable, and the turning radius seemed very tight. I haven't owned a car in over 25 years, but after driving the Rogue I now want one. I just have to win the lottery first 😢
Thanks for the excellent and very accurate review. After having this car for one year, I can affirm that the real fuel consumption in the city (Toronto) is 9.5 kms per litre (10.5 l per 100 km). In highway I have reached 17km per litre (5.9 Ltd per 100 km).
If they ever added a higher trim option with a 2.0 liter turbo and non-CVT transmission, I'd be on that in a heartbeat. I know, I know--a man can dream! Nice review as always, you two...

I have a 2023 Rogue and really like it, the only issues I’ve had is with the cruise control. The vehicle says camera obstructed but it isn’t. Great fuel economy and comfort though! Great review!
I have a 2019 Altima I leased new and bought out in western NY. It now has 94k miles and I’ve have had no issues other than a window alignment. Just had a newer rouge as a rental in Charlotte NC and I was impressed with the drivetrain, ride quality and cabin volume
last year I was struggle on the pick between CX-5 and Rogue. I chose CX-5 suna at the end, getting the better driving experience but gave up the cargo space and fuel economy. Once you test drive both, you'll see the difference of that impressive steering in Mazda. Both of them are really good product in this competitive market. I'm still looking forward to see CX-5 or Rogue going HEV or PHEV version in the future
Love your reviews as usual.. I lived with the pre facelift one for 2 months (in Canada), and if there is one word that I can describe it with.. it is "inconsistency" .. the CVT is inconsistent, sometimes it reacts quickly, sometimes it doesn't.. the infotainment... Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it keeps disconnecting and I have to turn the car off/on for 2 to 3 times for it to work.. the steering wheel heater, literally burns my hands in some areas, and is ice cold near the stitches !! Driver aid systems all of a sudden shut down and give me all the errors in the world (and the weather is clear so no rain, snow or anything) and sometimes work just fine.. the only thing that is consistent with that car is a dashboard rattle that makes me go nuts !
I rented a '24 SV model while in Florida recently. It was fine. Felt plenty responsive and powerful when I needed to accelerate, fairly smooth, comfortable inside, pretty easy to drive/steer, and decently organized. Automatic cruise worked great. It did feel a bit bumbly in the wind and took a lot of constant effort to correct. And it felt kinda small sitting in the driver's seat for the size. I felt like I had less room to move my legs around than in my X1. CVT was.. "fine". Did what it was supposed to do. Cabin noise levels felt good. Honestly I can't complain much. It's a great overall vehicle option though I am concerned with long term reliability of the CVT and that 3 cylinder. Nice comfy rental option though for sure.
In Europe and Australia, this is called the X-Trail and is a hybrid car. Same engine, just hybrid stuff added to it. Been like that for a few years now.
You can not go wrong with Tuxmat. We have these in our RAV4 hybrid limited Blueprint suv. After almost three years of use they look like new. Nice review. 🇨🇦👍👍
Yeah, you can. They screwed up on the front driver mat on my old Ioniq 5 EV. How did that happen when they are supposed to do laser measurements. The mat's attachment point was off. Didn't feel like returning them just to get another set with the same issue. Now I'm hesitating to get a set for my 2024 Tucson hybrid.
I got the Tuxmat for my Honda Pilot after seeing the ad on one of The Straight Pipes video. Been using them for 2 years here in the snowbelt Ontario weather, and they've been exceptional. Not the cheapest, but you do get what you pay for.
Great review. I like your “pack a lunch” acceleration comment Andrea. There are definitely things to like here for me. Flat bottom steering wheel, pano roof, quilted seats, lots of tech. I’d have to drive one to see if I can wrap my head around the CVT. Exterior aesthetics are nice as well. I’d like to see some head to head performance specs with some competitors(not necessarily from you guys). Hope it warms up for you two up north. Not great down here in Portland currently. Cheers!
Thank you for another excellent review. I've always been the go to car guy for family, relatives and friends so I truly appreciate your candid and thorough reviews. An added bonus is that you both have a great sense of humor and are entertaining as well. I watch all of your reviews to stay current on all of the various categories luxury, sporty, electric, economical and utility. The next family purchase will probably be my son who is all over the board and driving me nuts. ---- ---- The new Camry, CT4V Blackwing, Kia Sportage, Tesla model 3, Genesis G7O. See what I mean?!!! LOL😂 Thanks again🫶
The updated looks are awesome, I have one in rental car red, the whole family loves it. its very easy to get the kids in and out of and big enough for a Costco run. Engine and transmission are solid. My only one negative is that there was a smell coming from the engine bay that leaks into the cabin, this was fixed by the dealer, so fingers crossed it worked.
All three cylinders. And the variable compression is a real gem (of unnecessary complexity). I rented a 2023 with 30k miles on it for a 8 days to drive around the south west US. It struggled up steep grades, with a distinct clunking noise as the engine+transmission struggled. It had an intermittent check engine light that appeared when I changed altitude. Then on day six it developed a severe misfire and I had to get on the phone with the rental company's road side support where we agreed I would try to limp it back to the LAX depot, which I did, barely, and only if I accellerated ever so gently and then drove it at high rpm using the paddle shifters. Check engine light flashing the whole time. Wife a nervous wreck, concerned that we'd stall out on the highway. So, needless to say, I wasn't impressed. And when I limped into the rental company depot to exchange it, the staff that received it had, literally, a good laugh and joked about how many Roques come back with problems. Just another broken Rogue for them.
I've been working for Enterprise for over 2 years now, and I've seen nothing but issues with the Rogues. Some of them had problems before even reaching 10k miles. some of our customers seem to like the Rogue because of the quiet and spacious interior, but I would not recommend getting one. Extremely poor build quality and an underwhelming driving experience
11:40 although it doesn't have a hybrid, its the highest EPA fuel economy rated in class for a non-hybrid, at 37mpg in FWD format. For comparison, the similar Kia Sportage Hybrid rates 38mpg highway, only one better.
This is a really nice looking vehicle, inside and out. The engine sound is actually quite good (likely the only vehicle in its class I can say that about). My only concerns would be reliability with the engine and CVT, however, I keep my vehicles a long time so I'd simply buy an extended warranty and enjoy my well equipped Rogue without worrying about any expensive issues down the road. Jatco has been doing improvements over the years to their CVTs, and I hear about fewer issues in more recent models. The key is doing your maintenance and don't tow with it. Do that and you'll likely have little issue with it.
I enjoy reviews and thank you for putting more time into discussing the transmission. I wish you would do this with all test reviews, especially CVT-type transmissions.
Hi Andrea 😊and Mr Andrea, nice review I was gonna start to say it’s a NISSAN! Former retired Mechanic 40 years plus. And many many Nissan with CVT Trans issues were sent away to Nissan dealerships not trained to repair a 300 piece metal band that rides on 2 cone shape Cylinders(CVT) all that can do is replace them now almost 1 year out of stock. That said I would hoped they could merge with another reputable Japanese manufacturer. They did help KIA in late 1990s with mix engine parts. In Sept My brother is renting a 2024 Rouge from Texas and taken vacation in Killinois and Wisconsin, 😵💫 if this works out he “might” buy one. I really like the ROCK CREEK PATHFINDER didnt seem it faired to well with you. But then again wait til 100,000 miles durability. at 14:00 min/sec on your video you didn’t use turn signal to pass car Lol. ✔Still on the Fence with 3 cylinder Troy-Bilt with Turbo DGI engines luckily I was gone before these existed. Not into EV at all. I’ll subscribe It’s good to have a woman and man’s views. Good Luck
This is the first time I seen you sponsor a product in the middle of your video. Nice review. I would like to hear your opinion on the auto stop-start on vehicles. Do you like it? Or do you always disconnect it when reviewing your vehicles?
Nissans look decent, but the 1.5 Variable geometry turbo motor is trash as are Nissan CVT's. I have a friend that is a Nissan tech all he does is replace CVT's and these 1.5T motors almost weekly! Nissans manual and traditional automotatic transmissions and naturally aspirated aspirated motors are far more reliable.
Nissans vehicles are decent but they lack identity and don’t do anything excellent like the other Asian OEM’s. You know what you’re getting from Honda, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, and Subaru. They all found some what to stand out in the market. Nissan has lacked that for a while now, which is probably why rental car companies love them, they’re not bad but they’re not great either.
201bhp from 1.5l on 87 octane means that the engine is leaning hard on the computer management. It would be a better and simpler car if they just used the 2.4l NA engines from a decade ago... real world fuel economy is not much worse. The reason for small turbos isn't consumer friendly, it's to game the EPA test cycle, but you have all of the added complexity and plumbing to do that.
I've had Tuxmats in 3 cars, longest set was 3 yrs. Coverage is great, price reasonable. The only minor negative is that they are a bit awkward to remove & wash (only do that occasionally).
VC (variable compression) is complicated. CVT has been unreliable in the past BUT as long as the buyer either only leases this vehicle or trades it in just before warranty ends, it should be OK
I’ve been told that with Nissan cvt that the problem is there if you don’t change the cvt fluid every 30,000 miles u.s. Something more than most people weren’t aware of or were doing.
I got one and I'm already thinking of trading it in! I have had cases where the car transmission wasn't switching gears as I gave it gas and the car kept screaming in the high way.. Went back to normal after I made a complete stop and turned engine off.
@@studio8601I rented one and I had this happen to me but in my case I was in manual mode which requires you to shift gears manually. I just moved the electronic gear shift knob down once more and it put the vehicle back to automatic mode. Problem solved.
This my third Rogue and it's an improvement from the previous models. I think the interior needs to be more practical, specially in the globe compartment and gear, bur so far an good vehicle. Good review
I learned on the "Driving 4 Answers" channell (which I highly recommend) that 3 cylinder engines have the best inherit balance of any ice configuration.
I really like the changes to this. It looks a lot more premium, of course this is the top tier trim too though. And as usual you two are entertaining 😀
Oddly... almost considering replacing my 2020 civic touring (what sane deal I got at 0.99% interest rate back in 2020) with a 2024 Nissan Rogue SL awd... if given the best possible deal this could be a first for buying a Nissan and first SuV in the family... my family household used to be a Toyota (and Lexus) family for the last 55 years and now switched to Honda...and might be switching to Nissan or something else... This video is helping the decision, even shared this w my father so he understands the pros and cons of the Rogue... Thank you Andrea and Zack for the helpful review! Awesome video as always - Saber Nawaz
Love the new features in this. I’m not sure how I feel about the 1.5 turbo engine though. The leather seats on my 2021 Platinum model are amazing. Just wish they were vented as well. The Mazda CX-5 is definitely more engaging and fun to drive but lack trunk space.
I got some rubberized tool box drawer liner. I cut it for the cup holders. Lined the door compartments, a cover for the wireless charger. It muffled all the hard plastic sounds.
Great review. All great improvements on the Rogue, waiting to see what improvements will come to the Mitsubishi Outlander. PS: We are expecting the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to be announced in Europe soon.
We have 11,000km on our ‘23 Platinum so far. The CVT does hunt around above 100km/hr and that’s really our only complaint. It’s perfect around town, a very comfy and quiet cruiser for long trips - especially with Pro Pilot - and it’s so well thought out. We easily get EPA ratings, and the drive modes actually do something which is nice. The paddle shifters also simulate gear changes quite well.
Have you tried running your rogue on 89octane or even 91/93octane? It may eliminate that cvt hunt you described and also boost your fuel economy. That engine as do most of nissans engines prefer midgrade fuel or better. If not give it a try and let me know what you think. I'd reference Shell fuel but you should only use a Top Tier Fuel supplier as your test fuel. Plzzzz dont use a cheap or bugdet fuel for testing. These fuels are cheap for a reason and don't come with the guarantees of a Top Tier Fuel. Again you maybe surprised as to how something as simple as fuel selection can impact not only the maintenance associated with that vehicle but also your relationship with that vehicle
Also the changes in performance and economy may take a day or two of driving to actually begin to notice the differences so I would say make your judgement call on one whole empty to full tank of whatever fuel you decide to use.
@@cleverdood well let us know what you think. Again I highly recommend the Shell V-power. I have 93octane available to me but I know some areas only offer up to 91octane. The extra that you pay at the pump will be recovered in increased mpg and reduced potential maintenance (carbon buildup and potential fueling issues later in the life of the vehicle)
Nice subtle update/refresh. I have a love/hate relationship with my ‘21 Platinum with the 2.5NA engine. Love the looks, comfort, utility, driving dynamics, and excellent fuel economy. The tech in mine is quite glitchy though, and drives me nuts. Touchscreen freezes regularly after about 45min when using CarPlay, and only a full shut off and restart of the vehicle will get it to work again. Nav in the drivers display freezes as well. Parking sensors go off at random. None of this can be duplicated by the dealer of course. Hopefully there’s been a software update as part of the refresh. The long term reliability of the 1.5 turbo 3cyl worries me…..too complicated for its own good?
We have a 2021 Rogue SL (first year of this new body style) and it's been great! My only complaint is that the seats are too narrow! I'm 5'11" and average build and the seats leave indentations along the sides of my back.
Though the towing capacity is higher now, it doesn't look like Nissan offers a towing package any more. You'll have to get the hitch and wiring kit from a different company. When you do, ask if the kick sensor for the power lift has to be replaced. That was the case in years past.
Just bought the SV, make sure you check if it has sunroof or seat memory; it's one or the other. I'd go for the SL if someone would've told me it had a few better upgrades. Good car so far, traded up from '20, Bought aftermarket trays for center console storage. Makes it able to handle so much more junk. ;)
Thanks for your review! The Rogue would have been a definite choice for us based on overall esthetics and attributes... but, 1.5 L with turbo? 3 cylinders? Our choice has to include an engine that is going to last... we have our doubts about this power train!😮
I agree. I specifically bought the Toyota 2.5L 203hp Dynamic Force engine. That Toyota engine with a Toyota transmission in this car would be a home run 😂
I like the exterior design, it’s much better than outgoing vehicle. Seats are nice? The rest is ok but the engine is very questionable. Great show Andrea! ☕️☕️
I always wonder how the longevity will be for the 1.5L Turbo engine's which are now being offered in new vehicles. Are they robust enough to last a couple of hundred thousand KM's?
3 Cylinder ??? hummm i had one on my smart , much smaller Veh pretty peppy but how long will that Turbo last, driving 108 km a day 5 days a week ... ??? and that CVT ... so many questions ...
The only things keeping me from getting one are these: high insurance, difficulty finding parts, and the unreliable CVT. How much of this is true, per owner experience?
I'm surprised the Subaru Forester was omitted from the 4 Alternate Choices... Consumer Reports has chosen the 2024 Forester as its Top Pick in the Compact Sport Utility category for 11 consecutive years.
I feel like Nissan is as underrated as Forester is overrated. My Forester was the worst car I ever had. The cvt was trash and gone by 55k miles, ate oil up and every AC component replaced. It’s also just slow and inefficient.
@@Michael-ur5qb JD Power ranks Subaru & Nissan 14th & 15th respectively in its 2024 Most Reliable Vehicles Report. Consumer Reports ranks Subaru 6th and Nissan 17th overall in its 2024 Brand Reliability Report.
Drilling down into the 2 specific models, Consumer Reports has the Predicted Reliability of the Nissan Rogue at 44/100 and the Subaru Forester at 82/100. Also, CR has the Owner Satisfaction (Would you Buy this Car Again) results at 78% for the Forester and 56% for the Rogue. CR Data is extracted from North American Owner Surveys from 2016 - 2023.
Nissan used to take the place of Hyundai and KIA when it comes to sales but now they seem to be under the radar of consumers. Compare the Korean brands to Nissan I would still choose Nissan even if I had a bad experience with 14 Pathfinder!! 😁
3 cylinders are some of my all time favorite engines from an engineering standpoint. I would prefer an i6, but for an everyday commuter I would consider giving the i3 a shot!
So far after 2 months our 2024 Rouge the radio doesn't work sometimes,the back trunk opens when you walk near it,no one at our dealer ship knows how to program our phones or how we can get internet data,once the shifter did not shift.our first Rouge we almost bought the drivers seat folded up on you when you turned off the key.I give them a D-
I recommend a video from "l do cars". He tears down a blown Nissan Rogue 3 cylinder that spun it's bearings (neglect?) He explains the complexity of the Nissan multi link piston rod design engine. He's not an engineer, he is a recycler. If you really want one of these, lease one, they won't live a long life.
Nissan's CVT has definitely improved a lot in the recent years, probably to the point where it's not as prevalent. Majority of people who says so otherwise most likely haven't driven a Nissan since way before COVID. I'm loving my 2023 Rogue which I purchased last September and my 2019 Sentra has not had any issues since I purchased it brand new.
my daughter got a rogue 2016 and i got the the outlander 2016. both no issues with engine and cvt. outlander is more comfort than rogue. planning to replace it and i think i will go for outlander 2024, 2.5L engine( made by nissan and cvt) rogue 2024 engine is small and turboed using VC engine tech which is needs some trust in there.
Nissan is underrated! Too bad their e-Power technology not coming till 2026 to N. America. If you guys look at their “Arc” business plan it will give you some insight as to what will happen in the next few years for Nissan. Looking forward to the new Xterra. PS: they need to bring back an off road version “X-Trail” vehicle.
I got the 23 Rogue SL trim and I was mightily regret getting it. First it is tiny and very uncomfortable also it is loud when accerlation. Wish it was wider the seats more comfortable
My Outlander GT had most of these features when I got it back in 2022 !!! Besides the “new” look still not even close to my GT. My question is , how silence is inside compared to Outlander ?
The 1.5 engine is highly rated by reviewers, including yourselves. Unfortunately, Nissan doesn't supply this to the UK. We get E Power, which is an electric motor with a petrol engine acting as a range extender. It is not so highly rated in reviews.
You’re much better off with power train you have. This engine is trash, with owners reporting engine failure before they’ve even had their first oil change.
I see lots of comments about the CVT. Why not just get a bumper to bumper warranty so theres nothing to stress about? It might be inconvenient if the car engine "breaks down" because of the CVT, but as long as you can safely pull over, is it really a big deal if its covered? And if it keeps breaking down, why not just trade it in?
Because it is really expensive. At least it was at the dealer near me. And then you don't really know if they will cover it anyway. It makes more sense just to have the money to replace the transmission if it goes after the original powertrain warranty is up or trade the car in before then.
@@Jan96106 I see your point. Mine was an extra 3 grand for 90,000 miles/7 years. Powertrain is covered which includes the CVT. They had cheaper ones for less time/miles. I figured the warranty was a better deal considering the fact that replacing a CVT can cost anywhere between 3,000 to 8,000 in US dollars.
That 3 Cylinder VCT Turbo (2022 & beyond) has issues. Check NHTSA or Carcomplaints. The CVT is generally not liked. Plastic oil pan. Multiple reports of a gas / exhaust smell, get it to the dealer.
I have a 21 SV with the old 4 banger, and my daughter has a 23 SV midnight with the turbo - really not that much difference of the line, and so far our gas mileage is the same! Oh, and the euro Nissan Xtrail, the rogues overseas brother, has a hybrid now…..believe it’s called eforce?
Idle Start Stop is not a selling point. Especially in this Rogue, where the button to disable it is in the most awkward spot ever. Or at least it is in the 2023 version.
I have a 2015 Nissan rogue with 260,000 km on it and had no issue with CVT or engine! still running smoothly

CVTs are the way pretty much what all the manufacturers are heading towards sadly. Saying that there has been improvements
Where I'm from, the Xtrail has an epower system that does away with the CVT so it's pretty good now, and gets even better gas mileage

I’d have to drive one to see if I can wrap my head around the CVT. Exterior aesthetics are nice as well. I’d like to see some head to head performance specs with some competitors(not necessarily from you guys). Hope it warms up for you two up north. Not great down here in Portland currently. Cheers!
Thank you for another excellent review. I've always been the go to car guy for family, relatives and friends so I truly appreciate your candid and thorough reviews. An added bonus is that you both have a great sense of humor and are entertaining as well. I watch all of your reviews to stay current on all of the various categories luxury, sporty, electric, economical and utility.
The next family purchase will probably be my son who is all over the board and driving me nuts. ----
---- The new Camry, CT4V Blackwing, Kia Sportage, Tesla model 3, Genesis G7O. See what I mean?!!! LOL😂
Thanks again🫶
The updated looks are awesome, I have one in rental car red, the whole family loves it. its very easy to get the kids in and out of and big enough for a Costco run. Engine and transmission are solid. My only one negative is that there was a smell coming from the engine bay that leaks into the cabin, this was fixed by the dealer, so fingers crossed it worked.
All three cylinders. And the variable compression is a real gem (of unnecessary complexity). I rented a 2023 with 30k miles on it for a 8 days to drive around the south west US. It struggled up steep grades, with a distinct clunking noise as the engine+transmission struggled. It had an intermittent check engine light that appeared when I changed altitude. Then on day six it developed a severe misfire and I had to get on the phone with the rental company's road side support where we agreed I would try to limp it back to the LAX depot, which I did, barely, and only if I accellerated ever so gently and then drove it at high rpm using the paddle shifters. Check engine light flashing the whole time. Wife a nervous wreck, concerned that we'd stall out on the highway. So, needless to say, I wasn't impressed. And when I limped into the rental company depot to exchange it, the staff that received it had, literally, a good laugh and joked about how many Roques come back with problems. Just another broken Rogue for them.
I've been working for Enterprise for over 2 years now, and I've seen nothing but issues with the Rogues. Some of them had problems before even reaching 10k miles. some of our customers seem to like the Rogue because of the quiet and spacious interior, but I would not recommend getting one. Extremely poor build quality and an underwhelming driving experience
@@SF.Automotive The interior was indeed a very comfortable place from which to wait on hold for a Hertz's road side assistance agent.
Like this style of Rogue. Good cargo room. Thanks very much for mentioning the floor mats and will be looking in to them.
11:40 although it doesn't have a hybrid, its the highest EPA fuel economy rated in class for a non-hybrid, at 37mpg in FWD format. For comparison, the similar Kia Sportage Hybrid rates 38mpg highway, only one better.
This is a really nice looking vehicle, inside and out. The engine sound is actually quite good (likely the only vehicle in its class I can say that about). My only concerns would be reliability with the engine and CVT, however, I keep my vehicles a long time so I'd simply buy an extended warranty and enjoy my well equipped Rogue without worrying about any expensive issues down the road. Jatco has been doing improvements over the years to their CVTs, and I hear about fewer issues in more recent models. The key is doing your maintenance and don't tow with it. Do that and you'll likely have little issue with it.
I enjoy reviews and thank you for putting more time into discussing the transmission. I wish you would do this with all test reviews, especially CVT-type transmissions.
Hi Andrea 😊and Mr Andrea, nice review I was gonna start to say it’s a NISSAN!
Former retired Mechanic 40 years plus. And many many Nissan with CVT Trans issues were sent away to Nissan dealerships not trained to repair a 300 piece metal band that rides on 2 cone shape Cylinders(CVT) all that can do is replace them now almost 1 year out of stock. That said I would hoped they could merge with another reputable Japanese manufacturer. They did help KIA in late 1990s with mix engine parts. In Sept My brother is renting a 2024 Rouge from Texas and taken vacation in Killinois and Wisconsin, 😵💫 if this works out he “might” buy one. I really like the ROCK CREEK PATHFINDER didnt seem it faired to well with you. But then again wait til 100,000 miles durability. at 14:00 min/sec on your video you didn’t use turn signal to pass car Lol.
✔Still on the Fence with 3 cylinder Troy-Bilt with Turbo DGI engines luckily I was gone before these existed. Not into EV at all.
I’ll subscribe It’s good to have a woman and man’s views. Good Luck
I had 2017 rogue very comfortable seats
This is the first time I seen you sponsor a product in the middle of your video. Nice review. I would like to hear your opinion on the auto stop-start on vehicles. Do you like it? Or do you always disconnect it when reviewing your vehicles?
My favorite crossover. Nissans are underrated.
Nissans look decent, but the 1.5 Variable geometry turbo motor is trash as are Nissan CVT's. I have a friend that is a Nissan tech all he does is replace CVT's and these 1.5T motors almost weekly! Nissans manual and traditional automotatic transmissions and naturally aspirated aspirated motors are far more reliable.
@@genzigzag I agree 100%
Nissans vehicles are decent but they lack identity and don’t do anything excellent like the other Asian OEM’s. You know what you’re getting from Honda, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, and Subaru. They all found some what to stand out in the market. Nissan has lacked that for a while now, which is probably why rental car companies love them, they’re not bad but they’re not great either.
@@genzigzag you need to drive Hyundai CVT... 😄😄
201bhp from 1.5l on 87 octane means that the engine is leaning hard on the computer management. It would be a better and simpler car if they just used the 2.4l NA engines from a decade ago... real world fuel economy is not much worse. The reason for small turbos isn't consumer friendly, it's to game the EPA test cycle, but you have all of the added complexity and plumbing to do that.
Tuxmats! Nice to see after the straight pipes and Savagegeese you guys are also sponsored by them
I've had Tuxmats in 3 cars, longest set was 3 yrs. Coverage is great, price reasonable. The only minor negative is that they are a bit awkward to remove & wash (only do that occasionally).
Thanks for the infos about rogue..I'm considering having this when I migrated to US
VC (variable compression) is complicated. CVT has been unreliable in the past BUT as long as the buyer either only leases this vehicle or trades it in just before warranty ends, it should be OK
I’ve been told that with Nissan cvt that the problem is there if you don’t change the cvt fluid every 30,000 miles u.s. Something more than most people weren’t aware of or were doing.
I've watched engine teardown videos of this Variable Compression engine. I'd lease this car but I wouldn't buy it.
It's a disaster. I wouldn't go near it.
I got one and I'm already thinking of trading it in! I have had cases where the car transmission wasn't switching gears as I gave it gas and the car kept screaming in the high way.. Went back to normal after I made a complete stop and turned engine off.
@@studio8601I rented one and I had this happen to me but in my case I was in manual mode which requires you to shift gears manually. I just moved the electronic gear shift knob down once more and it put the vehicle back to automatic mode. Problem solved.
This my third Rogue and it's an improvement from the previous models. I think the interior needs to be more practical, specially in the globe compartment and gear, bur so far an good vehicle. Good review
I learned on the "Driving 4 Answers" channell (which I highly recommend) that 3 cylinder engines have the best inherit balance of any ice configuration.
Love this review! Wish you all much success!
I really like the changes to this. It looks a lot more premium, of course this is the top tier trim too though. And as usual you two are entertaining 😀
Oddly... almost considering replacing my 2020 civic touring (what sane deal I got at 0.99% interest rate back in 2020) with a 2024 Nissan Rogue SL awd... if given the best possible deal this could be a first for buying a Nissan and first SuV in the family... my family household used to be a Toyota (and Lexus) family for the last 55 years and now switched to Honda...and might be switching to Nissan or something else...
This video is helping the decision, even shared this w my father so he understands the pros and cons of the Rogue...
Thank you Andrea and Zack for the helpful review! Awesome video as always
- Saber Nawaz
Love the new features in this. I’m not sure how I feel about the 1.5 turbo engine though. The leather seats on my 2021 Platinum model are amazing. Just wish they were vented as well. The Mazda CX-5 is definitely more engaging and fun to drive but lack trunk space.
I got some rubberized tool box drawer liner. I cut it for the cup holders. Lined the door compartments, a cover for the wireless charger. It muffled all the hard plastic sounds.
Tons of features. Good cargo space. Relatively attractive. Great value. Don’t care for the engine or transmission however.
Ur up early~ greetings from Las Vegas!
Great review. All great improvements on the Rogue, waiting to see what improvements will come to the Mitsubishi Outlander.
PS: We are expecting the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to be announced in Europe soon.
I loved Findway mats of Canada until they discontinued the all weather carpet ones. They only make the rubber ones now.
Congrats on the Tuxmats sponsorship. More impressive than the way they looked in the Civic was Andrea’s biceps! Look out Zack, don’t mess with her.
I have a 2015 Nissan that has been very reliable. Ready for a new vehicle. Wish Nissan had a hybrid.
We have 11,000km on our ‘23 Platinum so far. The CVT does hunt around above 100km/hr and that’s really our only complaint. It’s perfect around town, a very comfy and quiet cruiser for long trips - especially with Pro Pilot - and it’s so well thought out. We easily get EPA ratings, and the drive modes actually do something which is nice. The paddle shifters also simulate gear changes quite well.
Have you tried running your rogue on 89octane or even 91/93octane? It may eliminate that cvt hunt you described and also boost your fuel economy. That engine as do most of nissans engines prefer midgrade fuel or better. If not give it a try and let me know what you think. I'd reference Shell fuel but you should only use a Top Tier Fuel supplier as your test fuel. Plzzzz dont use a cheap or bugdet fuel for testing. These fuels are cheap for a reason and don't come with the guarantees of a Top Tier Fuel.
Again you maybe surprised as to how something as simple as fuel selection can impact not only the maintenance associated with that vehicle but also your relationship with that vehicle
Also the changes in performance and economy may take a day or two of driving to actually begin to notice the differences so I would say make your judgement call on one whole empty to full tank of whatever fuel you decide to use.
@@casob307 I haven’t, but I’ll give it a try.
@@cleverdood well let us know what you think. Again I highly recommend the Shell V-power. I have 93octane available to me but I know some areas only offer up to 91octane. The extra that you pay at the pump will be recovered in increased mpg and reduced potential maintenance (carbon buildup and potential fueling issues later in the life of the vehicle)
@@casob307 I've run two 91 octane tanks through it. It does seem a little better but I don't know if I'm imagining it.
Waiting for your reviews on new chevy equinox
My company has a fleet of the SV trim and I can vouch for its power, comfort and fit and finish.
Nice subtle update/refresh. I have a love/hate relationship with my ‘21 Platinum with the 2.5NA engine. Love the looks, comfort, utility, driving dynamics, and excellent fuel economy. The tech in mine is quite glitchy though, and drives me nuts. Touchscreen freezes regularly after about 45min when using CarPlay, and only a full shut off and restart of the vehicle will get it to work again. Nav in the drivers display freezes as well. Parking sensors go off at random. None of this can be duplicated by the dealer of course. Hopefully there’s been a software update as part of the refresh. The long term reliability of the 1.5 turbo 3cyl worries me…..too complicated for its own good?
I’d really love to hear your thoughts on a turbo 3cyl vs normal 4cyl vs turbo 4cyl as far as reliability is concerned
We have a 2021 Rogue SL (first year of this new body style) and it's been great! My only complaint is that the seats are too narrow! I'm 5'11" and average build and the seats leave indentations along the sides of my back.
Though the towing capacity is higher now, it doesn't look like Nissan offers a towing package any more. You'll have to get the hitch and wiring kit from a different company. When you do, ask if the kick sensor for the power lift has to be replaced. That was the case in years past.
How about gas smell issue? Update on fix?
Just bought the SV, make sure you check if it has sunroof or seat memory; it's one or the other. I'd go for the SL if someone would've told me it had a few better upgrades. Good car so far, traded up from '20, Bought aftermarket trays for center console storage. Makes it able to handle so much more junk. ;)
Thanks for your review! The Rogue would have been a definite choice for us based on overall esthetics and attributes... but, 1.5 L with turbo? 3 cylinders? Our choice has to include an engine that is going to last... we have our doubts about this power train!😮
I agree. I specifically bought the Toyota 2.5L 203hp Dynamic Force engine. That Toyota engine with a Toyota transmission in this car would be a home run 😂
Awesome car! The zero gravity seat makes the Platinum trim feel a little floaty.
I like the exterior design, it’s much better than outgoing vehicle. Seats are nice? The rest is ok but the engine is very questionable. Great show Andrea! ☕️☕️
I always wonder how the longevity will be for the 1.5L Turbo engine's which are now being offered in new vehicles. Are they robust enough to last a couple of hundred thousand KM's?
3 Cylinder ??? hummm i had one on my smart , much smaller Veh pretty peppy but how long will that Turbo last, driving 108 km a day 5 days a week ... ??? and that CVT ... so many questions ...
The only things keeping me from getting one are these: high insurance, difficulty finding parts, and the unreliable CVT. How much of this is true, per owner experience?
I'm surprised the Subaru Forester was omitted from the 4 Alternate Choices... Consumer Reports has chosen the 2024 Forester as its Top Pick in the Compact Sport Utility category for 11 consecutive years.
I feel like Nissan is as underrated as Forester is overrated. My Forester was the worst car I ever had. The cvt was trash and gone by 55k miles, ate oil up and every AC component replaced. It’s also just slow and inefficient.
@@Michael-ur5qb JD Power ranks Subaru & Nissan 14th & 15th respectively in its 2024 Most Reliable Vehicles Report. Consumer Reports ranks Subaru 6th and Nissan 17th overall in its 2024 Brand Reliability Report.
Drilling down into the 2 specific models, Consumer Reports has the Predicted Reliability of the Nissan Rogue at 44/100 and the Subaru Forester at 82/100. Also, CR has the Owner Satisfaction (Would you Buy this Car Again) results at 78% for the Forester and 56% for the Rogue. CR Data is extracted from North American Owner Surveys from 2016 - 2023.
Nissan used to take the place of Hyundai and KIA when it comes to sales but now they seem to be under the radar of consumers. Compare the Korean brands to Nissan I would still choose Nissan even if I had a bad experience with 14 Pathfinder!! 😁
🏆Kudos to Zack and Andrea for all the hard work that goes into producing these stellar reviews vids!
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much, we appreciate the support!
3 cylinders are some of my all time favorite engines from an engineering standpoint. I would prefer an i6, but for an everyday commuter I would consider giving the i3 a shot!
Great video. Thanks 😊
So far after 2 months our 2024 Rouge the radio doesn't work sometimes,the back trunk opens when you walk near it,no one at our dealer ship knows how to program our phones or how we can get internet data,once the shifter did not shift.our first Rouge we almost bought the drivers seat folded up on you when you turned off the key.I give them a D-
@@phrotojoe the back trunk opens automatically when you put your foot near the trunk or rear bumper with your key in your pocket..
Looks good but only a three cylinder engine. There was new commentary (last week) that the vehicle lasted only 62,000 miles before blowing the engine.
I recommend a video from "l do cars". He tears down a blown Nissan Rogue 3 cylinder that spun it's bearings (neglect?) He explains the complexity of the Nissan multi link piston rod design engine. He's not an engineer, he is a recycler. If you really want one of these, lease one, they won't live a long life.
Nissan's CVT has definitely improved a lot in the recent years, probably to the point where it's not as prevalent. Majority of people who says so otherwise most likely haven't driven a Nissan since way before COVID. I'm loving my 2023 Rogue which I purchased last September and my 2019 Sentra has not had any issues since I purchased it brand new.
my daughter got a rogue 2016 and i got the the outlander 2016. both no issues with engine and cvt. outlander is more comfort than rogue. planning to replace it and i think i will go for outlander 2024, 2.5L engine( made by nissan and cvt) rogue 2024 engine is small and turboed using VC engine tech which is needs some trust in there.
Rogue is an extremely comfortable car. Enjoyed as a rental, but want a transmission.
Looks great 👍. Powertrain/engine too complicated for long term ownership
Yep, I agree.
Yes, I would lease a Nissan, or Kia or Hyundai and buy a Toyota or Honda
I’m not liking the plastic trims in the front bc it will be filthy and not shiny - also how’s the blue tooth?
Quite the looker… the rogue ain’t bad to look at either.
I use Tuxmat's on all my vehicle
How is the VC engine in comparison with the other 3 cyc. turbo?
Nissan is underrated! Too bad their e-Power technology not coming till 2026 to N. America. If you guys look at their “Arc” business plan it will give you some insight as to what will happen in the next few years for Nissan.
Looking forward to the new Xterra. PS: they need to bring back an off road version “X-Trail” vehicle.
I got the 23 Rogue SL trim and I was mightily regret getting it. First it is tiny and very uncomfortable also it is loud when accerlation. Wish it was wider the seats more comfortable
My Outlander GT had most of these features when I got it back in 2022 !!! Besides the “new” look still not even close to my GT.
My question is , how silence is inside compared to Outlander ?
I am seeing a lot of them on the roads lately. Must be selling very well. Great Japanese tech. SUV
You still didn’t touch on the transmission question that was asked earlier in the video. Has Nissan fixed the transmission issues in the newer rouges?
How come Sportage is not included in competition?
do all trims have a remote start system ?
I think a well-designed three cylinder engine could be acceptable if combined with a strong hybrid or plug-in hybrid assist.
Cant wait for the new 2025 nissan sentra
The 1.5 engine is highly rated by reviewers, including yourselves. Unfortunately, Nissan doesn't supply this to the UK. We get E Power, which is an electric motor with a petrol engine acting as a range extender. It is not so highly rated in reviews.
You’re much better off with power train you have. This engine is trash, with owners reporting engine failure before they’ve even had their first oil change.
Why there's no e-Power on your market? It is an absolutely different car in terms of driving
What they don't have hybrid for it?
There are UA-cam articles about that 1.5 cu.3 cylinder Turbo with Variable Compression engine, something about the engine self - Grenading!
Can you bring back the photos of the interior at night?
I see lots of comments about the CVT. Why not just get a bumper to bumper warranty so theres nothing to stress about? It might be inconvenient if the car engine "breaks down" because of the CVT, but as long as you can safely pull over, is it really a big deal if its covered? And if it keeps breaking down, why not just trade it in?
Because it is really expensive. At least it was at the dealer near me. And then you don't really know if they will cover it anyway. It makes more sense just to have the money to replace the transmission if it goes after the original powertrain warranty is up or trade the car in before then.
@@Jan96106 I see your point. Mine was an extra 3 grand for 90,000 miles/7 years. Powertrain is covered which includes the CVT. They had cheaper ones for less time/miles. I figured the warranty was a better deal considering the fact that replacing a CVT can cost anywhere between 3,000 to 8,000 in US dollars.
How does it compare with qx50?
Cant wait to trade in my 2015 rogue next year for a 2025 hyundai tuscon hybrid with a real automatic transmission.
Good luck
That 3 Cylinder VCT Turbo (2022 & beyond) has issues. Check NHTSA or Carcomplaints. The CVT is generally not liked. Plastic oil pan. Multiple reports of a gas / exhaust smell, get it to the dealer.
Rear turn signal is not LED yet
can't believe it
I have a 21 SV with the old 4 banger, and my daughter has a 23 SV midnight with the turbo - really not that much difference of the line, and so far our gas mileage is the same! Oh, and the euro Nissan Xtrail, the rogues overseas brother, has a hybrid now…..believe it’s called eforce?
Idle Start Stop is not a selling point.
Especially in this Rogue, where the button to disable it is in the most awkward spot ever. Or at least it is in the 2023 version.
With the exchange rate, most vehicles are much cheaper in Canada.
1.5 litre 3 cylinder doesn't need a hybrid.
It does have an awesome hybrid, it's called ePower e4ORCE, it's available in Europe.
@@nikolayrayanov2895 Probably coming to NA. Solves the CVT annoyance.
