I've also purchased a 2015 SL AWD. The AWD system is a bit of a mystery to me, but other than that, I love the vehicle. The hill assist is great, the power hatch is extremely convenient, and the room/space is a huge plus. The aggressive front styling and attractive wheels were an aesthetic plus as well. Interior design comes together well and the Bose sound system is pretty darn good. I love the huge moonroof. The heated seats work very well and the plethora of safety features...another plus. My favorite feature is the backup camera with 360 view. I can press the camera button and see a front view and side view, very cool. My first thought when driving it was, it drives like a car and it had a good turning radius. Smooth brakes too. I was actually in the market for a pick up truck but decided there's plenty of room to accommodate my lifestyle with my brand new 2015 Nissan Rouge SL AWD. I would like to hear feedback on the AWD system....

I've watched your videos for years. They just keep getting better and better. Keep it up Sofyan!

This guy has the best reviews at least for me. I never buy a car without looking up his reviews. He notices the features that I do and ditto on peaves. I also appreciate that he reviews based on what he thinks the typical buyer for a particular vehicle will want. Obviously he has a bias for sportier cars but who doesn't! and he is honest about it! Most other reviewers are either rahrah types or clods with preformed opinions or who worry about an extra cupholder. Well done please keep it up!

Been waiting for this car review

Incredibly polished auto reviewer. Great--thank you!

I just bought a left over 2015 Rogue SL and I absolutely LOVE IT. I traded a scion TC and only have had 2 door cars in the past and I am so happy I went SUV and even more happier I went with the Nissan Rogue. Its a beautiful smooth ride, awesome features and looks great. I checked out every SUV and by far this was the BEST.

You FINALLY did this one!! Yay. I think my car got a passing score....awesome!

Thanks! You sold me on this SUV! Very informative and helpful!

Just got the 2016 SV and loving it.

Great review man.. great vehicle as well. Nissans are the best!

I've been researching and test driving compact SUVs for the past month. This vehicle tops my list with regard to aesthetics and safety features. I'm still torn between the CR-V and Rogue. (Love the Cherokee, but worried about reliability). Thank you for the detailed reviews, they are by far the most informative on youtube.

I recently bought a rogue and it's awesome! The cvt is really smooth, it's not suppose to propel you forward like a missile since it's an economy car but it has a nice smooth power delivery.

Really nice video, very helpful review. Thank you

Great review!

Just got the red SL 2015! I love it.

Great review as always. I'd like to see your review of 2015 370z Nismo!

I see so many of these on the road lately. I like the daytime running lights. Makes for great road presence. I'm an Audi fan, but this is nice.

My mom just brought the SL with all the bells and whistles and she loves it. She is baby boomer. I love it too, but I think I will get the altima coupe. I don't know much about the CTVs as I still drive a V6 04 seabring from college.

Hey you're from Maryland, that's wussup bro, im actually in the market for the new rogue, oh and im definitely subscribing

I like how you're starting to emphasize why the vehicle was built.

Damn, did he design this vehicle. He seems to have a lot of information about this car packed in his head and he's on point. I have the 2014 version of this car.

Nice video... Thanks so much for sharing...

My favorite part is all the quick hand gestures while he describes the center stack and hard touch and soft touch. lol

I just bought a 2015 Rogue SL last month and I absolutely love it. yes I wish the engine was a little more powerful but I came from a gas hungry 2005 ford escape so I love the fuel economy and the drive is very pleasant. I love the cargo option and the upscale feel of the car. the moon roof looks great. overall I give this car 4 out of 5 star only because a more powerful engine would be nice.

Very informative!

I've had my Rogue now for about 30 days. I am doing about 24 mpg, but I'm doing city driving mostly. Regarding the cvt (transmission) I drove a 2013 and it was much different. The 2015 is not nearly as bad as the 2013 but you can still tell that its a cvt. No complaints about the vehicle I'm happy with it and it provides me with enough room, good gas millage and is comfortable. Regarding the engine power I find that it is plenty for me, it might be sluggish with 4 passengers and luggage, but right now it is more than enough. Good vehicle, I highly recommend it.

I'm heavily considering the purchase of a 2015 Rogue SV. My intention is to use my new vehicle to travel across the United States -- especially through mountainous areas like the Appalachian Mountains and higher elevations out west. I've test driven the Rogue already and was impressed with the "get-up-and-go" factor. In your expert opinion, would the Rogue be sufficient for higher/steep elevation driving? I believe it would, but I am eager to hear your opinion. Thanks for a comprehensive video!

That key is Nissans standard proximity FOB. They're the only ones who use it. They might never replace it. Still in use today for any push button start vehicles XD

A 2.0 liter turbo engine will easily make the Rogue my favorite car in the class. Personally, I can deal with the CVT as long as it provides great fuel economy.

Thanks very informative.

Was I the only one who thought that Ford was about to hit him (11:35). Great video!!!

Although cvt's are beneficial to fuel economy, regular transmissions are much better performance wise. They also produce a sporty sound since Nissan wants this car to be fun to drive. The problem is that cvt's are just simply not fun to drive.

Thank you,Great Video and well Informed

awesome car

My mom is buying a rouge in a few months. Gotta show her this video

Try a cvt it will grow on you. Nice review

Are you able to do a full size Transit as you next review?

To get something straight, people who buy in these type of segments do not know the difference between an automatic and a cvt transmission. Why? Because they are not looking into that but into comfort, safety, and fuel econmy. They also look for nice exterior styling in which NIssan is providing. I have also done my fair shares with an accord 6 spd maual and auto. Not that pleasant. CVTs offer a faster acceleration because of its no gears. As well it inceases fuel econmy. Not only that but they are actally very reliable and easy to care for. so please, just regard your comments of it not being an automatic and not being faster because we as consumers who buy in this segement do not care for it.

I bought one, it's the best car

I love the unique looks and the nice interior, seems great but the cvt is stoping me

I would really appreciate if you made a 2016 maxima and or a 2016 altima video please thank you

I'm really wondering if I missed something ?? I've been researching most SUV's in the Nissan Rogue class for the past couple of months. Three vehicles would fit our needs, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Ford Escape Titanium and the Nissan Rogue SL Premium. There are certainly differences, the first one which is big is the longer warranty from Hyundai but we have excluded the Hyundai from our choices. So down to Ford or Nissan, I drove them both, the Escape had a bit more zoom than the Nissan. Technology wise both had excellent features especially safety features, comfort ,, I have a minor lower back issue and no question the Nissan was better by far in that area, nice job Nissan. Interior finish, the Nissan had a much nicer finish I thought it was very classy indeed. Driving needs, there is quite a bit of criticism regarding the CVT in the Nissan, didn't bother me in the slightest. Both the ford and Nissan would certainly full fill all our transportation needs. This is what makes me think I missed something, the price, allowing $ 15000 as a trade in allowance on both vehicles it's of course the price difference that is the only concern. 2015 Nissan Rogue SL Premium Package, bumper protector, wind deflector, hood protector, price difference $ 22,333.00 ( Can. ). Ford Escape Titanium with Technology Package price difference $ 31,748.00 ?? not a chance the Escape is worth almost $ 9500.00 more than the Rogue ,, not a chance at all. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth. My wife and I just ordered a 2015 Rogue SL Premium, red metallic, it's all loaded up and we shall pick it up next week.

I've been researching compact SUV's aka CUV's for a good month and a half and I must sat your review was the most insightful. Your comparison of why and who would buy the Rogue (aka X-Trail) vs. the Ford Escape and Mazda CX5, making up my current delima of the three contenders, is right on the buzzer and really put matters into context. With all choices being good choices, safe, spacious and advance - technologically speaking (bells and whistles). But I have two questions; With Ford Escape we buy the car that tickles the driver | Mazda CX 5 we buy the car that meets both the driver and the passengers (aka family) half way | with Honda CRV we are clearly putting the passengers first and what I consider a Driver's suicide... But... Q1: Where does the Nissan XTrail fit? Q2: Which car interior deteriorates | falls apart | breaks down quicker? Most would answer it depends on you - but i believe there are cars that are tightly built (i.e Tiguan / German) and there are cars that frankly feel badly fit (i.e. Terrain / Hard plastic). Between CX5, XTrail and Escape I just can't point it out... Q3) CVT is like walking with numb legs - but sometimes walking with numb legs has its moments :) But how risky are CVT gears? We know 6 speed automatics. Almost all garages know standard automatic. DCG gears are well known... etc.. etc... What risks does a CVT engine add to the post buying mix of things? Thanks

Why are halogen headlamps even offered still? Just go standard xenon or led.

Sergio Lopez, I get 26 city and 35 hwy I do 8 hrs of city driving 5 days a week in San Francisco, I again get avg 26.7 car is great with gas also it depends if your wife is accelerating really hard. Overall I would give this car 10/10 I love my rogue mine is SV with 3rd row and premium package

It looks way bigger then the outgoing one. It is my favorite in the cute ute class's

You should do the 2015 ford Mustang 2.3 ecoboost

How is the cabin noise ?

Great car for families

Have you noticed the speed limit and you are driving over limit 12:09

pricing for this model?

What is that rattling throughout the test drive?

Went and test drove the 2015 Rouge SL awd, Engine/CVTran noise is loud. Test Drove the 2015 Murano SL AWD, The CVT/engine noise is waaay quiter.

Why should they appeal to the driving enthusiast when this and along with every other car in the class is not an enthusiast's car...? Making no sense. The fact that the HP is competive and ample and the best fuel economy in the class, at an incredible value, you're going to hardly have anybody that cares. I suggest you review cars strictly with the target consumer in mind. Other than that, great review.

The CVT is scary and worry some, lack of mid range acceleration, why Nissan does not bother to relocate the gas filler left side

i would like to see the review 2015 lexus nx 200 and nx 300 thanks

im OCD about the Dive N Hide i want a flat study trunk not divided into levels

chevy chase owns a nissan dealership?!? siiiiiick!

They replaced the base s model key with a switch blade key which has the same buttons off the intelligent key with a switch blade key

Deciding between this and cx 5. This had a marginal front passenger safety score but slightly more room and better fuel economy. Cx 5 suffers slightly worse fuel economy but all top safety scores, more speed and tighter suspension. I’d probably go with the rogue for my purposes but knowingly buying something with marginal safety scores is a problem for me, heaven forbid you’re in a crash and a family or friend dies and you knew from the moment you bought the car it had a safety flaw. Too hard on the conscience for me. Anyone else’s thoughts are welcome.

I wish it didn't have cvt. my dads 2010 rouge is rough.

Most buyers are going to have their kids with them, commute to work, and want good fuel economy not to be a harsh riding vehicle that jars your teeth out. NO a turbo engine is not what I want turbos eventually go out that's $2-4k out of pocket no thanks.

3rd row seating?

I rented a 14 Altima. I could NOT stand the CVT. Awful. The electric power steering was so numb it feels like driving a golf cart. Back to my 05 TSX it felt so much better.

Please test charger and challenger 2015

Do the 2015 GMC canyon or Chevy Colorado

Today I just went to the SD auto show and I saw all compact crossovers and test drove some of them. my top 5 are when it came for best bang for the buck was 1.)Mazda cx5 2.)Nissan Rogue 4.)Toyota Rav4 5.) hyundai tucson. The Tuson has the best exterior looks, period! best warranty, but inside even on limited did not feel premium. worst looking was the crv and rogue. best driving and fun was the mazda.

what's the point of being a driving ethusaist.. you're either gonna get pulled over or get into an accident. I just wanna know if this car will take me to and from work for the next 10 years

We are please with our 2015 Sl and find it a great buy. The economy is great (27-28) combined, along with the ride, handling and comfort of the car. There are a few problems we have experienced. The head restraints do not adjust forwards so if you like driving up and forward like my wife does, it hits her in the back of the head. We rotated it 180 degrees and it's fine for her but it will not protect me in the event of a accident. We were told by the dealer that "they are adjustable" and unlike our other car they DO NOT! We were also told that the car is equipped with remote start and that also was untrue. The controls and switches on the lower left side of the dash are awkward and could have been better located. It's too easy to open the hood when trying to open the fuel door (way below eyesight). Overall there is a lot of features included in this 2015 Nissan Rogue SL and we would buy it again.

Does the back not remind anyone of an RX350?

Contemplating between this or a cx5? Thoughts?

i have the 2014 model, the only thing i don't like is the gps navigation. It sucks...

Hows the reliability?

Just finished paint protction film installation on brand new Rogue! Check it out and learn how to do it by yourself! Thanks!

Test drove this. Felt HUGE and clunky compared to the CX5. Roomier however drove like a minivan

I'm in the market for a new car but after watching the review on the 2014 nissan rogue problems & issues on KZfaq any and all nissan's are off the table.

Cabin noise?

What's up with all these SUV with no glove box lock on them? That's so annoying

Most people are going to go "32 highway and third row seating? Where do I sign!?!?!?"

How would this handle at the beach with soft sand? I like to spend a lot of time there but don't want to get it stuck 😂

I recently bought a Nissan Rogue. This guys is slightly wrong about the availability of some of the options so do your own research.

my dad bought this car 1 month ago

He quotes "The base model is around $23K and my test car here the SL is just a little bit more at over $30K My math says thats over 33% more that's not a little bit more $$$. For the $8,000 difference I could take 8 vacations, I could buy a used car, I could put the money in a savings account I could Help people a lot less fortunate. Some people don't think that way I guess and that's because they don't care about others and lack Experience about REALITY.

"You look very old" - From the key fob.

everyone who has these seem to love them. I feel like 5-6k more and a murano is better overall.

didnt talke about the front camera!!! for parking help!

I think a car with all NERF interior would make him happy. Then everything will be "soft touch"

Wait how come auto manufacturers won't just make a CVT do the virtual gears automatically instead it just being a sport feature so people will still think they're driving an automatic?

Hi everybody. CVT is actually the way every car company is going for. My only concern with my model is in city driving, my wife drives this car to just drop of and pickup my son from school and do some grocery shopping I would say a total of 10 mile round-trip and I she is getting sometimes 16 mpg, that is awful, taking in consideration she doesn't drive over 30 mph. Highway I can get 28 to 30 mpg which is good we just recently did a trip to New Hampshire mostly highway and got mostly 28 mpg and an average of 400 miles full tank range. But in city a full tank will only do about 260 miles. This is awful. Any feedback from some drivers that do have the same issue?? Thanks.

rogue is just an altima with high suspension.

Have u done any Audi reviews yet?

The only difference between the Rogue and the QASHQAI is the exterior difference....

When he revs the suv 😂😂😂

I would like an Rogue SV AWD but I'm skeptical about the CVT. I don't know if It would last over 60,000 miles

You keep saying their CVTs are good...... they're not! Had issues on my 08 Altima SL 2.5 , needed a whole new transmission

You should mention that there is no option for 3rd row seat with the top of the line trim (SL). Which is terrible.

In the UK if you want this in AWD you have to put up with a manual transmission. Oh... and the only engine options are 1.6 petrol or 1.6 diesel. #facepalm

The problem is, the cutting edge styling on the big brother 2015 Murano with all its lines and curves makes the Rogue's styling look very plain.

Vann York's High Point Nissan

how is the sound system on the s model?
