How it scores for you10 scores
A crash-safe, roomy, comfortable family hauler undermined by worrying engine complaints against its 1.5L turbo triple and Nissan's lingering CVT reputation.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 6 of its 21 recalls were serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4).
About $2,050 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 73% of cars we track.
36.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 87% of other SUVs we track.
Roomy rear seat, 36.5 cu ft cargo (74.1 folded) is competitive. Rear doors open near 90 degrees for easy access. Solid five-seat compact SUV space.
181 hp 3-cyl turbo with CVT delivers adequate but uninspiring acceleration. Comfortable, easy to drive, but not engaging. Typical of the compact SUV segment, slightly below average dynamically.
Modern 3rd-gen Rogue offers available 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay, ProPILOT Assist, and solid driver aids on higher trims, placing it slightly above segment norms.
Well-regarded quiet ride, available quilted leather Platinum trim, comfortable Zero Gravity seats. Refined interior for the class, above segment-typical comfort.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 1,350 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
