2017 Nissan Rogue Sport (Qashqai) First Drive Review in 4K UHD!

- Looking for a smaller Rogue? This is it. The Rogue Sport (aka the Nissan Qashqai in Canada and Europe) is the smaller cousin of the three-row capable Rogue. Basically what Nissan did is shrink the Rogue, lower the ride height, swap in a different engine and shrink the price tag accordingly. Then they stiffened the suspension to justify the "Sport" logo and voila!

Thanks for the great review. Very accurate. I own this same vehicle, black with black interior but 2018.5 model. Nice vehicle but sorely underpowered. Nimble through a major city and easy to fit in parking spaces of all sorts. I put dealership installed Continental Extreme Contact DWS Ultra High Performance tires on and it improved the handling much better than the stock Bridgestone Ecopias, especially in the rain. Should have 175 HP and 2017, 2018 SL Premium package should have automatic dimming rear view mirror, electric passenger seat, Bose stereo, driver seat memory. These features are now added to the 2020 model. This is no cheap vehicle, fully loaded with some dealer added items like mud guards, rear bumper protector and door & hood film guards the vehicle is around $35K. I did have a Hyundai Tucson rental for 2 weeks and I liked the Rogue-sport much better overall. I now think I should have gotten a fully loaded CRV or larger Rogue for the money.
These are the best reviews on UA-cam,
Alex, I notice you mentioned a few specific details for Canadian consumers. I really appreciate that.
I'll keep my 2013 rouge special edition awd. It's been good here in the N.C. mountains . Handles the curves very well and with better ground clearance than the new rouges , it handles the trails as well as the snow. Stock continental 4x4 tires let go at 20000 miles. Put Goodyear SR-A tires on it and improved it across the board.
So I just got this car and really thought I’d have to go and buy a cover for the back cargo area but now I know where to look for it. Thank you 🙏🏾
I think this would be a good seller in the USA and a good competitor to the Jeep Compass, and the Subaru Crosstrek.
This is the only Nissan I wanna buy it Alex.
Thanks Alex for a good review I'm glad I didn't wait for this one and got the bigger Rogue instead.
One more thing to consider too, Alex...I have a 50 min. commute each morning and evening for work, and most is not on highway so gas mileage is very important. This is also leading me toward the HONDA HR-V. Ok. I believe that's all ☺️
Thanks!
another Nissan for the rental fleets!
When will you be able to get your hands on the 2017 CX5?
Tech Defender that's what I want to know too as well, hehe. Alex does a great job with his reviews and I have been looking for the new CX5 review. I'm guessing he hasn't had the chance to get hold of one
I'd like to see that new 2017 Mazda CX-5 reviewed as well here.
Tech Defender Same here!
This will sell well, but Nissan will be in no rush to add power. You want more performance, Nissan will want more money, and will direct you to the Nissan Rogue. This has similar power and performance to the Honda HRV or Toyota CHR. Looks like a good buy under $25k
Reminds me of the Rogue Select, which was based off first generation Rogue but not as old and in production during 2nd Gen.
Excellent Review. Thank you
CD player - how retro. Aside from that the Qashqai is an excellent vehicle, having been exposed to them in the UK over the years I think it will be an excellent addition to the Nissan Canada lineup. I'd cross shop it against other compact SUVs.
Engine is underpowered and cabin gets pretty loud when you're accelerating (not as refined as the Honda CVT). They should have used the engine from Nissan SR Turbo or the Juke. Great review as always Alex....When are you doing 2017 Mazda CX-5?
I would believe in a 150-160bhp engine for the Rogue Sport / US-spec Qashqai (which they don't have nowadays), the Juke's T-1.6L, which seems to work best with the CVT, rather than the 6-speed manual would work as a power option, but it's slighly too thirsty and expensive to work as base engine (the regular US-spec Rogue works with a NA-2.5L on almost similar output numbers to the Juke's, but more reliably and with better fuel compsumption.
I agree. Hopefully they reconsider to put the 1.6T on the next gen. That would make more fun to drive. But who knows, they may come up with a Nismo version.
I heard Nissan Kicks will be the new Juke
Surprised to see how similar are the interiors for the two Rogue
Can you review the 2017 Nissan Maxima Platinum... Love your reviews
thanks
in Europe there is 1.6 turbo engine and its fast especially with the 6 speed manual gearbox
Hi Alex. Great review. I like this and the redesigned Compass. Which one would you pick
In Canada this has replaced the Juke. It was discontinued for 2018.
How does this stack up compared to the new 2017.5 Jeep Compass? The new Compass also sits between subcompact and compact.
Be sure to Mute BEFORE playing any future videos.
We get a 1.2 turbo in the uk. Think it's about 120bhp
And a 1.6 turbo with 163bhp.
Your review is very good
How does it compare w/ the CrossTrek? I think that is a better more closer competitor.
i think sport is not refers to the engine, its more to it shape..i think this can be replace nissan juke
I'm disappointed to see you can't get a sunroof on the SV trim like you can in the Rogue. Otherwise this would be my next car to replace my Rogue Select.
which would you pick between: niissan rogue sport, rogue, hyundai tucson, vw tiguan and kia sportgage? :-)
So Alex, please advise. Rogue Sport or HONDA HR-V?
Thank you for your input.
Why do most company install anemic engine in this size of vehicle? Fuel economy? They should have put the 2.5!
Because Nissan is cheap and doesn't think that the public will notice or care. Horrible vehicles. Stay far far away from el cheapo Nissan!!!
Uh, do you know how anemic these vehicles get overseas?
How about a T-1.2L on the Qashqai and a TD-1.6L on the X-Trail. Yes, US-spec models tend to have higher output base engines, even if we don't obtain all variants.
I think you are being unfair to El Cheapo when you compare him to Nissan.
knowing that you're a Soul owner and all, Alex do you prefer this or the turbo 2017 Soul?
Qashqai is the most sold vehicle in many EU markets.
Hi Alex,
I'm in the market for vehicle. I have owned Nissan Sentra for over 20 years and am looking for this style. It sits higher and would provide more cargo room for my 1 medium and 1small size dogs. I do not want to have to put back seats down to allow enough room for them ( defeats purpose), and I want to keep rest of vehicle free from dog hair, etc. I also want the sunroof package, but Nissan does not offer at mid-level trim and SL is too pricey for me. Therefore, I'm stuck between this Rogue Sport and Honda HR-V. In looking at mid-level trim for both makes, it seems that Honda has more to offer and is more reasonably priced.
Are you no longer doing the post production edits anymore ?
Does this vehicle come equipped with bose audio?
Any chance of you reviewing the Audi A4?
So in the US Nissan wants this car to appeal to some younger audience by being more sporty while having old 1.8l engine mated with dreadful CVT instead of 1.6 turbo and 6-speed manual?
+sic22l
It is 2L engine. 1.8L would have netted better fuel economy judging by Sentra i think but 2L might be different story hence poor fuel economy.
It could be argued that the crossover is still too big for 2L under-powered engine which means the pressure on the engine will result burning the fuel twice in comparison to 2.5L or 1.6L Turbo engine.
sic22l as a young driver , I'm looking for 3.5 at least. not stupid 1.6 ponie
3.5 in a small crossover? That's why young drivers die so much.
+Ketosis mode
1.6-litre Turbo motor might be best option but for the young drivers, this 2-litre natural-aspirated-engine might be best learning curve for young and inexperienced drivers.
Next year other nations will have a face-lift model. It's a Qashqai in most countries.
Maybe the US will also get the face-lift?
UnseenSpirit the facelift came out in July 2017, I think the rogue sport gets the updated software and steering wheel from the facelift, it is a very minor facelift. Slightly changed front and rear bumpers, steering wheel and software update plus I think rear crosswalk sensors.
I'm surprised you've not reviewed the Chevy Bolt -- are you afraid that if you do, you might want to buy one? :-)
In Europe u can get 1.6 turbo AWD
i cant see what kinda market wants this crossover... And i never looked twice at any of those other compaison vehicles. now if this kept the same engine as the rogue and the entertainment features id consider it. btw does the rear seat recline? im thinking no.
I think the market will be catering to people that don't necessarily need a big SUV. The same reason why people get the HRV or Nissan Juke.
IM always so concerned about how sluggish these cars are. My current 2.4 litre is so embarrassing on the highway, I can never overtake anyone without going to 4000 rpm.
DrKirstie well go to 4000 rpm then!
Hi Alex, we call that a Rogue in Canada as well
It's listed on the Nissan Canada website as Qashqai and due for release in june.
I just had a look and it's strange because we have a 2017 Rogue and then it shows a 2017 Qashqai as well separately? Are they separate, different vehicles? I guess they must be considering how much cheaper the Qashqai is than the Rogue. I'm thoroughly confused now, LOL
They're different vehicles - as shown in the video the Qashqai is a good deal smaller than the Rogue. The US is the only country that labels them as 'Rogue Sport'.
Can you please do Cadillac Escalade? Thanks
Volume knob and tuning knob, Honda take note.
I'm straight out of college and looking to buy a car around this price. I know nothing about cars, can anyone tell me if this would be a decent one? I don't do anything extravagant, just want a car that will last a long time and possibly handle some long road trips.
Hey Taylor,
I'm in the same boat as you. Honestly I test drove the Rogue and Rogue Sport yesterday and I there isn't a huge difference but I would prefer the Rogue over there sport. My best advise is to try and test drive both the cars and see what you like. I also drove the 2018 chevy equinox ( a lot more $$$) swell as the kia Sportage and I thought I would love the sportage but it's not worth the bang for the buck to me. Honestly it's all personal reference, just keep in mind that this is there first year making the Sport so little things may go wrong and of course they would have to fix it (They're learning alongside with you.) The Sport does seem great for someone who doesn't have kiddos yet though because the truck is pretty small and it would be hard to fit a jogger in there. Those are just my thoughts but you really won't know until sit in the drive and drive it. i would recommend test drive a hand full of relates cars and then make your choice after that. Just bring someone with you that isn't scared to tell the dealership "I'm not buying today" because they're sometimes pushy and will trick you into running your credit or "Taking it out to lunch" is another punch line that they catch you on because as soon as you drive off that parking lot they have you in their vehicle. Good Luck!
The Uk version is really popular, every other car seems to be a Qashqai ( rogue sport) so popular the are made in the Uk. My wife has one with a 1.6 turbo petrol and it’s pretty quick, handles well, looks good and so far very reliable. Ignore the haters who hate everything unless it’s got a massive v8 and does 0-60 in the blink of an eye.
Z S did you buy it without driving it, or seeing it? What engine do you have that has ‘slow response on acceleration ‘ whatever that means, were you expecting GTR acceleration? My wife has one with the 163bhp 1.6turbo petrol we get in Europe and whilst it’s no dragster it’s perfectly quick enough although you do need to make sure you are in the correct gear at low speeds otherwise you do suffer from the usual lag associated with turbocharged small capacity petrol engines. Whilst not outdated I agree it’s getting on a bit as this design is 3 years old Now.
Beary get a kia or Nissan it depends what u like I have the Nissan Rogue sport it does good on gas mileage
Hey young person, get yourself a Subaru Forrester as a good starter vehicle. It's great on gas.
Alex, Great review. Please check name in Canada.
Alex is correct - if you check the Nissan Canada website it's listed as a Qashqai....
Jeremy Clarkson called the first generation of this car the Nissan Kumquat. Lolol
So the Rogue Sport replaces the Juke?
ThunderUp09 it actually predates the juke.
Can you pls do nissan murano
Where does he get money to do these Reviews he doesn't have that many views
Nissan should put the turbo engine of the Juke into this car!
Johnson L very dumb not to have the 1.6 in it.
occckid123 especially as they do in Europe. My wife has one, 163bhp turbo petrol with 6speed manual.
So instead of coming out with a Rogue Sport, how about redesigning the Juke to make it a lil bigger? Honestly this vehicle is just pointless
Co$t, the Rogue Sport has been available already vs. designing a new body...
Baasil F. Because it already existed in other markets and predates the juke, why redesign a car when you already have a car available.
They came it with the Kicks
They should have renamed it the Cashcow
Winning comment. lol
future62 lol
So this is the mini, slower and cheaper version of the Rogue?
Why would Nissan called it "Rogue Sport"? There is not much about being sportier than the regular Rogue and seems a little misleading. I'm guessing Nissan was in a hurry to compete with the rest of the subcompact bunch (think HR-V, CH-R) and had to come up with a butchered version of its best selling CUV. I don't think this will work well for Nissan. The car looks too much like the regular Rogue and its design is not a game changer.
Why not redesign the Juke? Or even bring a lifted version of the Pulsar in the US? Seems a little rushed and lazy from Nissan...
Heu Thao in a hurry? It’s been on sale in Europe since 2007, you are getting the pre facelift mk2 just as Europe gets the facelift mk2, calling it the rogue sport is I agree a daft name, my wife has the fastest version available in Europe with a 163bhp turbo petrol engine which whilst a nice car I’d only describe as vaguely sporty.
They seem to be marketing it in the states as the sporty version of a proper suv, which it clearly isn’t, in Europe this car replaced a dire 5 door hatchback driven almost exclusively by old people waiting to die. When it launched it was bought by young people with new families and all but invented a new sector in the motor trade, the crossover suv, which didn’t really exist at the time.
Buick Regal aka Opel Insignia in Europe came to usa like a brand New model after was on sale in Europe for 3 years. 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting in Europe, the Rogue Sport is considered "large."
It is not ( I am from europe).
According to Alex, it is at 10:50.
He is wrong about that.
No it’s not considered large, most sold in Europe are 2wd and it’s considered a 5 door hatchback( like a focus)with a raised suspension, nothing more.
They did do a 7 seat version in the Mk1 but they haven’t bothered with the mk2
OK ; the Price Pleace
This kind of acceleration is simply unacceptable in 2017.
Nearly all other compact SUVs are faster!
In Canada it is called the Nissan Rogue as well. Always has been.
It's listed on the Nissan Canada website as a *Qashqai* and is due to be released in june.
gogo!
Should have just named it Select 2.0
Same vehicle as the Infiniti QX30, but without the turbo engine. I assume they planned it that way. If you want more power, they want you to buy the it premium brand.
that logo should be soundless or go to the bother of proper titles...
Everything looks good, except the woeful engine power!
and if Nissan is looking for fun to drive, then the power doesn't meet that objective.
Nissan gives me the car I want but gives it a weak engine and only a cvt. At least give it the juke motor with 6speed please!
Ty Evans that’s bizarre considering that’s the very combination available here in Europe.
Nice loooking !
Why Nissan are giving us this model that looks similar like the old 2015 - 16 Nissan Rogue facia and not the new 2018 Nissan Qashqai that has the same facia like 2017 Nissan Rogue facelift?
Here's the Link of the New Qashqai: ua-cam.com/video/DHzVOuvXeE8/v-deo.html
this and the Rogue (normal version?) need updated drivetrains horribly. Add to that 1990s infotainment system, just animal offerings by Nissan per usual. They will put a ton of cash on the hood of these and that's the only reason they would sell. I would even recommend the Mitsubishi SUV over this simply because that does have applecarplay, etc. Nissan is a joke.
5:50 -5:58 anyone saw the mosquito
Honestly those a few inches difference won't make parking any easier or harder. If a car with 185 inches length can not fit in. The 175 inches car probably can not fit in either.
Kai Liu it's a foot shorter. there has been times I've parked my car in such a space that there is 2 inches of room in the front and 1 in the back. I've had 2 make turn the wheel about 15 time just 2 get it in. if my car was a foot shorter it would've been a piece of cake!
occckid123 It is crazy..must be living in city.
Hope you're okay, Alex! You sound super bummed out on this review. Maybe just disinterested? It is, after all, the most boring car company on the planet.
Jump-cuts.
Kia Soul Exclaim is much better.
And no android auto? Come on, Nissan, it's 2017.
No Qashqai in Canada, still Rogue
Nissan Qashqai will be available soon. Rogue is compact crossover. Nissan Qashqai is subcompact crossover. Check out Nissan to query more about Nissan Qashqai since AlexonAuto is only privy to US Nissan Model; Rogue Sport.
The Qashqai is now available in Canada. I was looking at one the other day at our local Nissan dealer here on the east coast of Canada in NL.
Americans get the leftovers from other markets. Good choice yanks
🖒🖒
A smaller suv that gets worst mpg....great recipe Nissan.
No wonder these are so cheap in 2020
Nissan, develop a smaller suv, not shortening the current model. In other words, don't try to save money but rather spend $ to create a smaller & better vehicle.
Sport? Lol joke engine
smurf131cr A sports car by definition is something that is engaging to drive, there is a reason why Mazda miata is such a loved car. Granted this fails on multiple points but there is more to a car than just its engine.
Sport is not about power. A Hellcat has 707 HP but I wouldn't call it sport. It's muscle. But a Miata is sport even at 150 HP.
smurf131cr couldn't agree more.
smurf131cr More anti-depressants would result in less negativity day in day out!
Thomas Loftus wha?
Another underpowered CVT.
bigdogpete43 didn't know CVTs were over or under powered.
You may not like CVTs at all, but I don't mind if they're reliable and are installed in a < 200 bhp engine. Above that it can be a dealbreaker against conventional or most dual-clutch auto trannies.
And knowing Nissan enough unfortunately they won't upgrade the engine (maybe to CX-3 or base CX-5 levels) early enough in the cycle to make a difference....
1st
stopped watching at the point where it mentions lack of Android Auto.
Muhammad Abbas wow how very narrow minded. Most Ferrari’s don’t have it either.
+Alex on Autos
Rogue "sport" ?!??!! Can't even get a 6 sp manual transmission in this model. LOL
Hilarious....talk about a conflict of terms.....same with the Santa Fe sport.
Ridiculous! Who else is sick of CUVs? Give me a practical wagon like Volvo V40
You can get manual in the base model
This is the most pitiful thing I have seen in a long time.. Almost as bad as the Toyota CHR. I absolutely HATE that rear end.
Yet it attracted you to come here and watch!
I always support Alex. No matter what vehicle. Especially in this hard time on youtube. Your comment is invalid :) +buildmorefarms100
Fact remains it attracted you to watch the video! :) If you dont like something dont whine about it, just dont watch and comment.
Then don't buy it then.
Besides the GT-R, what does Nissan do that's worth a shit anymore??!! This car is trash like most of the Nissan line up
Very ignorant thing to say.
Rather take a subaru crosstrek than this garbage
It looks so ugly, unacceptable for a 2017 car, who else agree?
It attracted you!
I just can't stand the look of it after seeing the cover pic of the video, so I need to leave this comment.
I'm curious then. If you consider this an ugly looking SUV, what do you consider a good looking SUV?
david sturge You can check out the new Mazda cx5, it's much worth buying than this.
Tri C Pham it’s not ugly and it’s a 2014 car
Haha! This video was posted the same minute that Consumer Reports posted a video about the Rogue Sport.
When you know the embargo lifts.
