2018 nissan rogue reviews10/29/2023 The converging vertical green lines mean the camera sees both left and right pavement markers. The green steering wheel means steering assist is active. ProPilot Assist functions are shown in the instrument panel: The blue icon means PPA is active. The front-driver is rated 29 mpg combined and the hybrids are rated at 33 mpg combined (AWD) and 34 mpg combined (front-drive). In almost 2,000 miles of mostly highway driving, I averaged 32 mpg (regular fuel) for my all-wheel-drive Rogue, which is rated at 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, 27 mpg combined. It takes just under 10 seconds to reach 60 mph, on the slower end for small SUVs. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) is pretty well tamed no one is putting more effort into CVTs than Nissan. Similarly, Nissan's 170-hp four-cylinder engine (no turbo) is pleasant unless ridden hard, at which point it sounds strained. The ride is decent for a car with a short wheelbase (this applies to all compact SUVs) except on rougher roads. Cargo capacity is very good (for a compact) and helped by Nissan's load-floor covers that can be placed at different heights. It's not bad in back and passengers sit up high with good legroom, if not best-in-class. (The 2019 Rogue will be essentially the same as the 2018 model I tested.) The Rogue no longer offers the third-row seat, which proffered false hope in a vehicle 184.5 inches long.įront seat passengers are coddled in Nissan's zero-gravity (their term) seats. This is the second-generation Rogue, which dates to the 2014 model year, with a 2017 refresh. While safety offerings are good, you need to buy the highest trim line to get everything. The infotainment system got a 2018 upgrade but not a bigger screen. Nor does it have the smoothest ride on rough roads and the engine gets noisy if you push hard on the throttle. The Rogue does not aspire to be a sporty SUV or a 0-60 champ. Just understand that you have to keep your hands lightly on the wheel and pay attention along with the car. Add the ProPilot Assist option to the high-end Rogue SL and you've got a car that more or less drives itself on interstates. The 2018 Nissan Rogue is one of the more desirable mainstream compact SUVs with a roomy interior, comfortable front seats, useful storage features, solid safety offerings, and excellent crash test results.
