Engine and Transmission

The 2019 Nissan Rogue SUV is powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine which produces 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. You also get an option of a hybrid powertrain using a smaller 2.0-liter engine and electric motor for a combined output of 176 horsepower. The engine is fine for city driving, but when pushed hard on the highway, it produces a loud droning noise.The off road capability is acceptable for this compact crossover.

The engine is matched with an advanced Xtronic transmission and power is routed to either the front (FWD) or all four wheels (AWD). The CVT features three modes: Normal, Sport and Eco. The Rogue Hybrid can actually run solely on electric power at low speeds and for limited distances, further improving its overall fuel-economy figures.

The Nissan Rogue produces 170 hp which is barely enough to stand in the comptetion. Both Honda CR-V and Mazda CX 5 provide much more horsepower and torque in a similar price .range.

Acceleration

The Nissan Rogue is somewhat similar in terms of 0 to 60 runs but there are surely some better options like the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5.

Ride and Handling

The Nissan Rogue is powered by a 2.0 liter engine which puts out 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available in all trims It is enough for city driving but don’t expect a sporty response out of it. The Xtronic CVT transmission is plagued with typical rubber band effect. Its handling, though is on the softer side and makes the driver confident in its abilities.

The ride is smooth and composed over most of the surfaces. Nissan Rougue is large enough to feel spacious on the inside but also maneuverable in tight spaces with clever dimensions. The hybrid model’s 176 horsepower isn't a significant boost over the non-hybrid's 170, but the immediate response supplied by the Hybrid's battery gives it crisper low-end performance from stoplights.

Braking

The braking feel in the Nissan Rogue is soft and pedal travel is long. It comes to a sudden stop form 60 mph in just 124 feet which is acceptable for this segment.

Model	Nissan Rogue S suv	Volkswagen   Tiguan S suv	Chevrolet Equinox L suv	Honda CR-V LX suv	Mazda CX-5 SPORT suv	Hyundai Santa Fe SE suv	Kia Sorento L suv	GMC Terrain SL suv	Subaru Forester suv
Brake Front (in.)	11.7	13.4	N/A	11.1	11.7	12.6	12.6	11.6	11.8

60-0 MPH (ft.)	124	N/A	N/A	115	136	130	N/A	130	129

Though 124 feet stopping distance is not impressive, it is much better than some rivals. The Honda CR-V takes just 115 feet to stop, thanks to its large brakes.

Seating and Comfort

Spacious and well made, the Nissan Rogue’s inside is appealing with soft touch surfaces and high quality material. The leather-wrapped, fully adjustable flat-bottom steering wheel feels good in your hands. Its NASA inspired “Zero Gravity” front seats are praised for their comfort and support. The rear seats also provide an ample amount of space. Legroom and headroom is great in the first and second row, with an EZ-Flex 40/20/40-split second line seat that tilts and slides to create additional space. However, the available panoramic sunroof limits back-row headroom.

We Recommend

It offers most of the desirable features from the top SL trim without the hefty price tag. The upscale SL includes a few too many features that aren't necessary, and with those features comes a big jump in price.

Nissan Rogue doesn’t prioritize acceleration instead it returns pretty decent fuel economy. It can manage 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway with the front wheel-drive. All-wheel-drive models get 1 less mpg in the city and on the highway. These are above-average estimates for the segment. It also comes with engine Idle Start/Stop technology that can shut the engine down when you’re at a stoplight and start instantaneously as you pull away.

Dimension and weight

The 2019 Rogue SUV follows the design language of a crossover with strong lines, tall body and aggressive wheel’s. It’s “V-motion” grille with boomerang-style headlights looks prominent. The side glass is fairly tall, that is, until you reach the rearmost column where an upturned beltline makes a blind spot. Unpainted fender flares is likely a demonstration endurance ability. Sharp highlights like motion-activated power rear lift gate give the Rogue an upscale feel, as do the optional 19-inch wheels and glass moon roof .

Honda CR-V

The CR-V tops the list for compact SUVs and offers more power than the Rogue, in addition to standard security features such as collision-mitigation braking. The CR-V is not so good with the infotainment system and doesn’t provide sunroof like the Rogue does.

The Rogue has long list of standard features still the CR-V is better on different fronts. Both of the SUV’s has got ample amount of interior space and cargo capacity. The Honda CR-V has an edge over Rogue because of its refined transmission and optional turbocharged engine.

Mazda CX- 5

The Mazda CX-5 is powered by an inline 4 mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission. Like all the Mazda's, the CX-5 is fun to drive and won’t overwhelm you with power. It feels composed and agile not like the Rogue.

The CX-5 feels short on cargo space but makes up for it with upscale and tech-driven inside and a more ground-breaking motor than the Rogue's.

The Nissan Rogue is terrific compact SUV, it offers tons of cargo room and long list of standard safety features. Add in decent fuel economy and a well laid cabin, and the Rogue will please most of shoppers.

The Boxer engine with rugged chassis makes it ready for climbing terrains but it will be noisy on highways. If all of the above suits your requirements for a new small crossover, you're likely to be pleased with what the Rogue has to offer.
