I'm 6'4" tall. After sitting in about 12 compact and subcompact SUVs, this has the best headroom and legroom of all of them, front and back seats (without sunroof for a few extra inches). Also has near the best highest gas mileage of them all too despite having incredible cargo volume. Was a clear winner for my needs when I got in.
Thanks for this comment. I'm also 6'4". I thought I wanted a RAV4, and I've been trying them out and can barely fit in one if it has a moonroof. It's a little better if it's a panoramic moonroof, like on an XSE, but those are few and far between. But if it has the regular moonroof I can not lower the seat enough to give me enough headroom. I don't really need a moonroof but it's annoying because they don't make very many RAV4 XLEs without it. I just got into a Rogue today rented while my car is being repaired, and wow, plenty of headroom. Now I just have to get my head around going with a non-hybrid and getting way less than 40mpg and I'm all in.
I'm glad someone else feels the same way. I'm a similar height and I ordered the Rogue myself. My head kept brushing against every other mid-size (or even full-size) SUV that I tried. Also, the rear view mirror was so low, it'd block my view of the road. Huge winner for me.
I like the Rogue but would love it if they redesigned the front facia I’m not a fan of the headlights being where they are placed everything else I love about it.
@@Psychogenicscc They followed the design of the horrendous Juke by separating those DRLs and headlights. The Pathfinder is a perfect example of how they could've went about it, the Pathfinder is also separated but touches at each end. All things considered, you'll get used to it after owning it for a few weeks. Blacking out the grille helps with the front facia in my opinion.
If you don't want to pay $4,000+ for the SL over the SV, the SV Premium Packages adds the following for $2,660: Roof rails Power liftgate Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof Rear door sunshades Prima-Tex™ leatherette seats Leather-wrapped steering wheel Heated front seats Heated steering wheel
@@GeneralHiro the fog lights do literally nothing, they are so small and useless that they act more like position or running lights than actual fog lights so you’re not really missing out
One big reason I chose Rogue over RAV4 and Forester and Equinox is that Rogue is the -only- vehicle I tested that did not make you push a button to turn off the "wonderful feature" where the engine dies at stop lights and stop signs! With Rogue there is no button to push every time you get in your car....because it doesn't have that nuisance feature. I drive in ECO mode and I've had it 11 months and get 30 mpg, so it doesn't need that stupid feature to save gas.
Great review but some incorrect information. You can still get 8 additional features in the SV premium package that is a bit more inexpensive than the SL.
I shopped the Rav4 n cr5 n Kia shortage. Toyota , Honda n even Kia would not sell to me for sticker. Honda wanted 7 K above Msrp. They all are similar. I bought the midnight edition 2023 Nissan Rogue. Just purchased a month ago and am very happy w it.
2023 Rogue-Do not recommend! Gas smell inside cabin and outside of car. The smell did not start right away but was noticeable after about 2000 miles. Took the Rogue to Nissan dealership, and they said Nissan is aware of the issue and that the Rogue is under Engineering Review. Nissan dealership said they checked for gas leaks to make sure there was no safety problem, but that there was nothing else to do until Nissan issues a recall or figures out a fix for wherever the gas is leaking. Dealership said I had to be able to visually see leak and not just smell gasoline for them to do more. I hope I can trust that my Rogue is actually safe while we wait on this fix. Another point is gas mileage is way below window sticker estimate. I stay in the mid 20s for gas mileage even though I drive on Eco. Disappointing to have a brand new Nissan with no fix. I would not recommend for anyone else to buy a 2023 Rogue until they have a fix unless you want to be stuck with no loaner car while yours is in the service department not getting fixed.
You probably have a problem with the gas tank itself. There is a recall out for it being susceptible to punctures. And their is a fix for it i'd check with your dealer because it can be a fire hazard risk.
On my third Rogue since I lease them. Moved up to the SL from the SV for my 23 since they no longer offer the 360 cameras on the SV. Absolutely love the Turbo 3 cylinder. It has great pickup and great gas mileage. Definitely recommend the Rogue!
I bought a 2023 SL AWD with Premium Package a few weeks ago and LOVE everything about it except the gas mileage. Driving 95% highway at normal speeds I can't get more than 23 MPG, vs. the EPA 28 city/34 highway and 31 combined. Regular mode vs. Eco mode doesn't make much of a difference.
CVT is awesome in my opinion. I hate feeling a car shift. If I'm taking a fast car out for a Saturday I like driving a manual transmission, but if I'm just trying to get somewhere asap I want a smooth, quiet and comfortable trip
All up to your preference these days it’s a tough choice. So far 7k miles on the 22’ and it’s been nothing but enjoyable! Smooth, 37-39mpg highway, quiet, good stereo, and it’s peppy!
@@jakeadams7229 I like tech. This offers lots of features for the money. Although I'm not in love with two tear headlight I am trading my Honda accord with one of these
How much should i pay for the 2023 rogue out the door? Please let me know i hate the buying process and dont want to get ripped off. Thanks, out the door means total plus tax and all fees.
I just cosigned a 2023 Rogue SV with 145 miles on it for my daughter. bargained down to $27,300. There seemed to be many that were "almost" new(less than 1000 miles) that were on the market for a couple grand less. $29,500 out the door with tax title and tag. All at major dealerships of course.
It has acoustech glass and better sound dampening but it’s not too loud on the highway as people say. Under 40mph and it’s virtually silent in the cabin. Anything after 65mph is going to be noisy, no matter what car or how good the sound dampening is. Would say it’s probably the same if not slightly better than the crv or forester
@@ofcbob6391 I think some car reviewers complain that they DON'T get shifts with CVT's. They want that traditional feel. Personally I don't like the traditional automatic transmission shifting feel, but everyone is different
@@jeffs70chevelle say Jeff, you have the 22 or 23...or the 2021? If you have the 22 with the 1.5T, do you hear a whirring from under the hood when your radio is off, mostly noticeable over 35-40 mph...and upon deceleration from 50 mph or so?
@@ofcbob6391 I don't own one. my mother bought an Altima years ago and I haven't noticed a noise from the CVT. But if I get in it again I'll listen for it. If it's there, I'm sure it's something annoying you can't un-hear once you hear it
@@lavarjohnson3200 If you've ever been through the Rockies you'd know Fog lights are pretty handy... was a pretty dumb decision on their part to remove them -_- 2022 Rogue has the new Engine AND Fog Lights would recommend that :)
I have a 22 Rogue, anyone having this issue: when AC control is on SYNC, the temp of the air coming out of the drivers side is slightly warmer than on the passenger side? It's peculiar, so I take it off SYNC and adjust my left temp number to be 2-3 degrees lower than the right temp number, only then are they putting out the same temp air. Weird, never owned a car that had that issue before.
so ya get a flat and you have to dump the contents of the cargo area on the side of the road to change the tire lol. whatever happened to underneath spares
Paddle shifters with a CVT is an oxymoron. This new 3 cyl is too good to only put in the Rogue. Would have been perfect for the Rogue Sport, or a nice upgrade for the Nismo Sentra.
@@im_sarge_bro4542 1. Slowing down the car without using the brakes 2. Having control of which rpm you would like 2 be at when exiting a corner so you're ahead at say 5k rpm when exiting for instant response. 3. Can use the tq of the engine for acceleration rather than using more rpm which you have control over. 4. Instant response/no lag when you've already chosen the correct ratio you want 2 be in.
I would really like to see someone do a proper review of a vehicle. Pointing out features is a sales tactic, not a review. If you want to review a vehicle, investigate the vehicles past issues/problems and tell potential buyers what the company has done to correct them. This is never done because these "Tiffany" reviewers wouldn't know how to change a tire let alone mechanical or electronic know how, but nice bling, bling review!!!
I don't like that tiny 1.3L three cylinder engine for such a big vehicle. Even though it feels like it has enough power right now, I fear that engine will burn out prematurel. Not for me.
It’s a 1.5 liter and it’s turbocharged, by that logic the 2.5L that was in the previous gen rogue is also too small because it made 21 horsepower less than the current 3 cylinder.
disagree with all of you...have had 8 different Nissans over the last 20 years......not one issue whatsoever....love driving a new car every 2 -3 years...have takin out dozens of others out for test drives and i always end up back with Nissan.... cheers all

One thing to keep in mind. Nissan also makes premium packages that are available.
For example, the "SV premium" actually has the panoramic sunroof.

i thought the major change would be getting rid of the jatco cvt... bummer
Part of the good mileage and smooth ride is from the CVT. Not having to rev up rpm's for every shift improves mpg and ride comfort
With this new improved CVT for 2022-23 (has chain now), it is very smooth, can't feel any simulated shifts at all unless you're really pushing it.
