The
first thing you'll notice with this current generation of Nissan Rogue is the
handsome styling. Gone are the wild grille treatments, replaced by something a
little more conservative and considerably more contemporary. View more details
and Photos after the cut…
The
front and rear of the crossover are both more interesting and modern, and the
overall look is one that feels less economical. The interior is better
organized and finished in attractive, higher-quality materials.
Interior
As
with the Altima, Nissan delivers better seating comfort with especially dense
seat foam, and finds a bit more room for back-seat passengers, thanks to a
sliding and reclining second-row seat. The front seats also borrow a page from
the Leaf playbook, with heating controls that warm up in more sensitive contact
areas.
Engine
Performance
The Rogue returns with the
2.5-liter four-cylinder and continuously variable transmission found in the
first-generation crossover. Power output's still fixed at 170 horsepower, and
acceleration is mediocre at best. It's not the CVT's fault entirely, but the
transmission does put the Rogue in a noisy stretch of its powerband pretty
often. The
Rogue's all-independent suspension and electric power steering gets some
assistance in controlling the Rogue's ride.
