This channel should be named “Bucket of cold water if you’re not thinking about buying Toyota or Honda”.

I test drove 5 different similar size SUV's from all of the different manufacturers you mentioned in your review, and ended up buying the Rogue. And pretty much for the exact reason you mentioned. For me, it was the most comfortable, sporty, light on its feet, easiest to live with day to day driving SUV out of them all, with the Mazda coming in a very close 2nd. I was aware of the CVT issues, but after 2017 or so they seem to have figured it out. Speaking of the 1.5, it's an extremely enjoyable engine to get into. Yes, I've already noticed that the gas mileage will drop if you're having fun, but it's really hard not to have fun in that thing. It most definitely feels a lot quicker than your typical mid-suv, you certainly feel every bit of that torque. Easily just as responsive as the 4cyl competition.

My understanding is the CVT has been upgraded. It's the JF022E, instead of the JF016E. It has firmware updates, now has 2 oil pumps (electrical and mechanical), an extended gear ratio range and holds up to 330 Nm of torque, and jatco claims they've reduced friction by 30% as well.

My 2009 Murano had 123,000 miles on it with no problems at all, in fact that was the only car I ever owned that I went over 100,000 miles. I bought 2 2014 Murano's one for the wife and one for me, no problems with either. I just traded one 2014 with 80,000 miles on it for a 2022 Rogue sv with the 1.5 turbo and for the wife, we use it alot and love it. Plenty of power and comfort. I still have a 2014 Murano, just hit 80,000 miles on th at one. Still no problems at all. It pulls my boat just fine. Waiting for my hitch for the rogue. NISSAN has been very reliable for me.

Very well done and balanced. Thank you. Nice to see a real review and opinion, as opposed to the many influencers on KZfaq, disingenuously pretending to do car reviews. Keep up the good work!

Nissan stepped their game up in this rogue, it isn't the same as before. The amount of technology for the price and the modern look makes is superior than some of their competitors, rav 4 and crv dont seem to have that much technology and look outdated.

I am not happy with this reviewer. I only drive Nissan. I was driving Nissan when known as Datsun. The 2022 SL Rogue is my 4th Rogue. Love the Rogue. Am not a Toyota or Honda customer This ride gives me 41 on the freeway. I love how quiet it is. It’s gorgeous and so glad I purchased

I saw the Rogue at the NY autoshow and was very impressed with the interior, its come a long way

rav4 - noisy cabin, cheap interior cx-5 - cylinder deactivation, head crack crv - oil dilutuon outback - windshield crack rogue - cvt and new engine concern. choose your poison..But 2022 rogue now has chain belt on CVT with extra oil pump, so expecting similar reliability as subaru CVT. VC turbo has been out for few years so not really new design although first year production is always a concern..

My wife drives a 2021 Rogue with the 4 cylinder. She has almost 90,000 miles on it and it has driver her quite well. We've already decided to look for another one like it when the time comes to replace it.

Very nice review. Thank you.

Hi Shari, your review of this new Rogue is so accurate in capturing the essence of the vehicle for anyone in the market to buy a new vehicle. You were also so accurate from a mechanical reliability point of view of comparing other options like RAV4 and CX5 are better quality and long term reliability. Glad to see you didn’t include CRV as the alternative because of equally complex Turbo GDI engine. Loved the fact you mentioned that Rogue could be a good leasing vehicle.

I have always been a Nissan guy and just bought a beautiful new 2022 Infiniti QX-50!

i'm in a cusp of purchasing a new '22 SV with Premium Package and i have no doubt in my mind that any vehicle will last past 10-20 years as long as you follow the recommended maintenance that the manual tells you! It's not rocket science. and NO car is perfect by any means... its how you make the best out of it. But this review has been spot on in my opinion. The question of how reliable this new 3 cyl turbo engine has yet to be proved and THIS is gotta be a MAKE or BREAK for Nissan.

Loved everything about the 2022 Rogue but the engine...couldn't pull the trigger because of the unknown...went with the CX5 and very happy with my decision..

What a good review

Thank you, very useful informations. What do you think about the 2023 rogue? Are there any improvements? I'm planning to buy a Rogue but still not familiar between the 2022 and the 2023

good review.

This is a great SUV. I bought the 2022 SV and it is fun to drive and gets 34-37mpg with mixed hwy/city driving. Very smooth and quiet. I dont understand why this reviewer is talking down turbos since just about every new car has one? Do you think Nissan would put an engine they weren't sure of in their best seller?

I just leased a 2023 Nissan Rogue SL Premium because not only is it a beautiful updated car, but because there are no new Toyota, Honda, Mazda or Suburu cars available spanning from 5 months to 2 years if wanting a hybrid in Ontario. I couldn’t even test drive most vehicles as there were none in the showrooms. Car buying is extremely difficult right now if you need to buy in a hurry. My car completely broke down and I needed something fast. Used cars have interest rates of 6.99-7.99 % currently and are 30% more expensive than other years. Also, dealerships are ordering in cars fully loaded and selling as is to make as much money as possible because they are selling less cars monthly as they wait for cars and parts to come in. It’s a bad market for a buyer who needs to buy quickly. And I also leased because now I can order what I want in two years if there is a two year wait list for a fully electric car - and by then there should be many more options. And honestly, Nissan was the only dealership that would pay me for my 15 year old car and had amazing customer service, and I can’t say that about other places. I am excited to lease it and yes, if worried about transmission problems, it’s the way to go.

Bought a red platinum 2022 & it’s awesome. The new engine is smart & robust. Practical test

I like and agree with your review. I'm in the market for a new vehicle. I love the new exterior and interior but I just dont want a turbo, much less a three cylinder turbo. I wish they offed more engine options. This engine may turn out to prove to be trouble free, I just would rather have a non turbo engine with adequate power. The less I have to worry about the better. Styling wise it would be the top of my list, but because of the engine, it's off the list.

Thanx for review, I really like it, and now I have to think again… however, today I was in Toyota Dealership in Canada in Bc near Vancouver, and ask them about Rav 4 hybrid and plug-in options, they told me for plug in I have to wait a year, for hybrid 5 years…. So, looks like one of the rivals can’t stand to supply enough cars…

myth about Nissan....i have owned 8 Nissans over the last 30 years....not one engine or transmission issue what so ever...i have test driven tons of different cars and i end up going back to Nissan....cheers from Canada ( wife had a 2018 Honda CRV we ended up not liking it ) like the 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum waaaaay more... never been a toyota fan either

The VC engine has been used in the Altima and Infinis, albeit in 4 cyl form, for years now without issue.

Hi I just leased a 22 NR this my third lease however I liked my 2019 better after I compared the pros and cons. I learned so much from your videos and will make my permanent car after this lease a hybrid Rave. This suv is $50.000 a lot of money but it will be my last car due to my age and the long payment amount. SInce I got my new car it's been sitting for 4 days I truly miss my 2019 fully loaded pearamic roof will not get a car without this feature. I hope I won't grieve too long for my 2019 metallic grey NR.

Newest Nissans have a great reliability and the CVT is totally new, also the direct injection and VC-Turbo are intelligent ideas that help this vehicle to have better performance and eficiency. How you can have eficiency and performance? Put more air into the cylinders, more precision to the injection of gasoline, also more cooling. Engineers do a lot of tests tontheir new vehicles, this vehicle was tested a lo grande time ago. You’re talking about problems related to vehicles from the past.

Yeah. I totally agree with you on reliability for long term ownership. The 2022 Rogue with the 3 cyl turbo and CVT is a hard pass. I keep my vehicles for a long time ( still have my 2007 Honda Fit bought new which will be 15 yrs old this June). I shopped for an SUV in Apr 2021 and settled for a RAV4 XLE Premium gas version. No turbo charging, no CVT and port/direct injection. This is a great recipe for long term ownership! I know there are others with nicer interiors, quieter rides etc etc, but I was willing to forgo that for long term reliability.

Does it have a cd player?

I don’t care if Nissan modified their CVT. I’m still skeptical and will still stick with my 2013 Honda CR-V!!!

When the market has RAV4 - CRV - Mazda CX-5, then why would one buy, plus no option for hybrid model.

I think I'm going to stick to the Mazda, but great review nonetheless.

I really like the improvements, and would buy it over a RAV4 or CRV. I just don't see it competing with the CX-5 or CX-50, but I'l give it a drive.

Bought a new Pathfinder in 2017. Had Honda products up until then(odyssey and 2 CRVs ). I was amazed at how much more expensive it was for routine maintenance at Nissan. I couldn’t wait to trade it in for another Honda. I liked my Pathfinder but again, the servicing of it was much higher than I was use to. Something to consider when purchasing.

NISSAN ROGUE will go over 200k kms with no issues?

Absolutely yes I will buy it. And and it is better looking SUV out there.

Due to Nissan's JATCO CVT catastrophe, even if you absolutely LOVE it... LEASE IT!

Good for 3 year lease, not for buying long term, I agree

A guy I work with has had three Nissan vehicles all with cvts and he never had a problem with the first two. 2009 Altima with 250,000 kms, was totalled by a sixteen year old girl with no insurance. The second Altima a 2012 had 330,000 kms when he traded it in, he now has a 2017 murano with 90,000 kms. I am considering a rogue as my next vehicle as both of us are fastidious about maintenance and we never beat on our cars, so I could see a rogue lasting me a long time. Plus I have heard ads over the last two years for mr transmission advertising they now do rebuilds of cvts.

The VC turbo has been tested in the Altima for years and has been reliable. The current generation rogue has a high reliability and very low failure rate and Nissan as a brand is now back to top 10 above kia and Hyundai. No need to keep singing the same CVT song

This guy's been drinking the Nissan Haterade!

Man 3 cilinder 201 ph nice colors great price and the most safety sv of all, i recomended 100% 34 miles pero gallon.

I'm getting mine on Monday 2023 SV model

Quite frankly You came off as advertising other brands against the Rogue. You mentioned that the engine was new... I expected that your criticism would be centered on the performance when peered with the CVT..... I expected that you would discuss the process you used to establish your conclusions..... all I got was hyperbole.... did you really drive the Rogue and for how long, what were your findings and how do you project without discussing your empirical findings no matter how briefly. If yours is how consumer ratings are conducted then I've lost confidence in its impartiality.

I have had my Rogue SV for 8 months now. I understand some of your points but I think you also missed the mark on some. In regard to power, you can’t stomp on the gas pedal and get the power…I find if you lightly step on it, it ups the power quite quickly. And as to the gas mileage, I am getting significantly better mileage that with the Forester I had a few years ago. I got about 6.5L/100km travelling to Vernon, BC from Calgary, Alberta. I only used about 3/4 of the 55L tank. I got even better mileage with a slight tailwind from Calgary to Saskatoon, SK (5.5L/100km). I agree with the hesitancy about the reputation, but this feels like a significantly different vehicle that previous Rogues. It reminds me more of the X-Trail, but with more high-quality features.

Nissan Rogue looks awfully nice but after watching, I think I want Toyota SUV.

u r the sales representative for japanese cars in USA

Nissan says they will have a hybrid option, as soon as 2023. Let us see.

Because it offers more space!

Back in 2020, when Nissan was working on the new Rogue, do you think they knew back then that they were gonna replace the short lived PR25 engine with the 1.5T just one year later at the time? I question why Nissan redsigned the Rogue for 2021 with the PR25 when they could've just redesigned it for 2022 instead so that it could have the 1.5 right off the bat.

I am a Nissan owner and only Nissan. I am on my 2022 Nissan Rogue in the SL premium package. Boulder gray. I just got it a few days ago. I love Nissan and t his Rogue is amazing. Can’t be beat in my opinion.

rav4 or Mazda all day

YES I WOULD.

I would need a good powertrain waranty to buy one 😕

They nailed it with this Rogue…they got the Tech (GTR/400z)..why not use it 👉

I bought Nissan Rougue in 2008 and it ran perfect till 2021 then I sold it. i bought Honda pilot in 2016 and i was surprised how bad the is quality, seats are bad quality, body is light like paper and every other parts pop out, ac duck, door rubber insulation, side bumper and etc.... i will never buy Honda in my life again. its not the same quality as it was in 2010.....

Do a cx 50

2023 rogue my second, 😃

I guess it would have been too easy to just put a turbo on the 2.5

Nissan has fallen far behind. Worst CVT

The 2.5l is better not 3 cylinder turbo I past on that one

I have been trying to find CVT reliability studies with hard number not anecdotal stories without success. My anecdotal stories are. I had a 2007 Mitsubishi Lanser for about 5 years no issues. Now I have the a 2015 Nissan Murano and my wife a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, no problem so far. A friend of mine get rid of a 2014 Pathfinder just a year after buying it allegedly because transmission problems, when I ask he told me that when the car accelerates sounds like a boat like the transmission is slipping. Difficult to know if it was a real problem or just perception.

I think the Platinum trim looks really good, but by that point, you are paying around $40k, which makes the it lose it's "value" niche. At $40k, I can think of plenty of vehicles I would rather have over a Nissan Rogue.

there are always better options than Nissan, people only buy them because theres always some promotion or lease deal that people always fall for

Just a few notes: Firstly, It'd be best to start off with positive attributes in a review. The beginning of your review is overwhelmingly negative about Nissan and this Rogue. With today's plague of short attention spans, anyone who doesn't finish your video, or even get midway, would completely write off the Rogue. They'd never get to the positives, which happen to be many. Secondly, your review is FULL of assumptions and skewed opinions, in addition to a preponderance of choosing what you deem "safe." Thirdly, have you checked out Honda's waning reliability and their efforts in hiding that information? Fourthly, I've had 3 Rogues, and NONE of them have given me ANY issues. The first one is a 2011 with well over 120k miles and, aside from regular maintenance and replacement of normal, wear-n-tear things like brake pads/rotors, nothing has gone wrong with it - same with my 2014 (90k+ mi.) and 2017 (50k+ mi.). So, it seems a lot of what you say in your review is just regurgitation of what we hear on other biased-against-Nissan yet pro-everything-Honda-and-Mazda-makes reviews, which has grown very tiresome. (As someone in the legal field, I can tell you a lot "pay-to-play" goes on within the automotive industry, which greatly affects professional and public opinion.) Lastly, your tone in giving your review is extremely monotonous and sounds like you're reading, and with no feeling at all - just very robotic. (Have you seen the movie "Up?" Your tone is like Russell, the boy scout character who monotonously says: "Hi, my name is Russell...") Keep things positive at first, and then review negatives, keep your information factual without obvious biases, broaden your experience and seek out actual customer feedback, and speak/read with more feeling, nuance and fluctuation and you'd be a lot better. 👍🏽

If I learned one thing from this video, it's how not to pronounce Mazda 🤣

RAV4 for me.

NO THANK YOU!!! TOYOTA IS ALWAYS THE BETTER DEAL & CHOICE!!! I’ ll ALWAYS CHOSE A TOYOTA OVER NISSAN… PERIOD!!!

This happened tome CVT engine failed and cost me $7000 out of my pocket...

I'll buy firs escape hybrid

For me, as soon as the salesman would inform me of the turbo engine, I would respectivly thank him for his time and leave. I wish more peopl would realize that is something else to go wrong that you do not need. Maybe if more people would reject them we could make manufactures realize we do not want them. A deal breaker.

We picked the Honda CRV, when we had to make this choice. The Mazda was 2nd on our list. We currently have 65K on our CRV, and the only thing I've had to do to it, was replace one battery and 2 head lights.

I owner Japanese car repair shop, Our shop daily maintenance, repair, most Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, We discovery consumers ran too long for an oil change, we also discovery some of quick lube does not change oil filter, using cheaper oil and does not follow the manufacture guide - recommended , We also does consumption tested to compared, if you are drive in city a lot, you should due for an oil change as lease three times a year, Drive in city the mileage it take long time to go up, even you are not drive, the engine oil has a life as long engine run oil breakdown. To protection your engine smoothly and last longer, find dealer or mechanic using good oil and oil filter, buy one kit of Black Stone Lap "Oil Report," To be sure the shop using a good oil for engine. Overall Japanese made a good cars, I am very impress Nissan Rogue 1.5 L VC for "fuel eco - efficiency"

How can one speak of long-term reliability (and issues) for the new tech without any real long-term data? There is no record of systematic failures, so why speculate?

I love the seats 😢

I just got one of these as a rental car. To be honest, it’s not a very smooth ride, you feel just about every bump in the road. In addition to that, the fuel economy has been pretty terrible so far, the user interface/electronics are buggy, and it was nearly impossible to set up my phone with Apple CarPlay. It still isn’t working correctly. Hard pass for me.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a midsized SUV

Yes I did it 😂❤

Absolutely not. The Rogue is horrible. Buyers can't even operate the cruise control which is the dumbest design ever.

The Rogue is cheaper than the rivals

The terrible CVT …

In middle east 2023 this car with come with 2.0 Normal breathing

Let me help you with 3 things that I’m sure you didn’t notice. Their air conditioning is much underpowered. I drove 3 different cars all the same. It was only 82* so not a heat wave for any excuses. #2 I did not try the best trim level with the quilted seats but the fake leather and regular leather both are poorly stitched and sweat on the skin oddly. They also seem to have gotten a deal on shit brown dashboards. I’m sure they have other colors but someone must be blind to even think it’s ok.

I highly recommend you don't Buy it. It would be great if it work properly but as an owner it's has so many bugs and noises. Wait !

I was really interested in getting one of these, but your review seems very biased, and only based on negative aspects

Toyota > Honda > Mazda > Nissan

38K ? 😆 nope

If all you care about is reliability, you'd never buy anything but Japanese. You'd never buy BMW, Audi or Mercedes or Land Rover.

The 3 cylinder turbo engine will fail, the CVT transmission will fail and the suspension is weak.

No difference in power??? Are you kidding me? My 2023 is quick and fun to drive. Perfect family vehicle with more room and performance than the rav 4.

I would not buy any vehicle with a CVT Transmission! They(Nissan) put a “normal” transmission in the Pathfinder!!!

Being totally sincere the Rogue is a better but than a RAV4, CX-5, CR-V. The Rogue offers more space, more comfort, more technology, better equipment and more value in general, also better performance and eficiency (not considering hybrids) also talking about reliability newest Nissans and newest Rogues have proven to be reliable. The VTEC of the CR-V suffered reliability issues in this gen, also their CVTs, Toyota suffered the same with their CVTs those 3 brands and talking particularly about Nissan have a lot of improvements with their reliability.

Honest question, does anyone actually give a $h*t about a vehicle having a hybrid option?

To answer your question. I will never buy a Nissan again. Their only chance at redemption is the Arya as they have a decent track record with the Leaf.

I can see that new engine being a nightmare out of warranty. Way too complicated.

Trash....get a Toyota Rav4 instead. They are now turbocharging small 3 cylinder engines 🙃

with such a low power engine it can't get out of it's own way! why they made that decision is beyond me.

Good review, but I have one comment: The CVT was actually heavily modified for 2022 to make it have less friction, etc. I completely agree about the reliability question. I owned a Nissan Maxima. It was great on the highway, but had terrible reliability. And Nissan dealership service departments sucked. I would never buy a Nissan without also buying an extended warranty, which would add $1,500 to $2,000 to the price.

It's all good until someone sees you driving it.

Once you said new 3 cylinder turbo direct injection and Variable this and that …. I was like nope 👎. Your just asking for future head aches
