Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! Amazing what a difference a new engine can make and while we liked the new Rogue when we first drove it a couple years ago, the 3-cylinder turbo VC-T in this model makes this a much quicker and slightly more efficient daily driver. Now if only, Nissan could bring back a hybrid version...

For those who are curious the CVT changes for 2022/23 is they are using a woven chain "Belt" Vs an all metal belt to drive the CVT which should help alot with longevity, it also has an additional Oil Pump in the Transmission. One for low speed operation, one for high speed operation

Got to experience one of these for a few weeks, it’s really impressive. Interior is one of the nicer ones in the segment surprisingly, that little 3 cylinder is peppy too! Hopefully the CVT is more reliable this time around, but overall I am very impressed with Nissan! Keep it up!

I own the 2021 Rogue with the 2.5L 4 cyl . No complaints so far . The most unnoticed aspect of this car is how brilliant and reliable is the pro pilot assist . Works well almost all times on all kinds of roads at any time of day . Picks the lane markings on the road and the vehicle ahead perfectly

So far 11k miles on our 22’. It’s been quite enjoyable because it’s peppy, comfortable, and fuel efficient.

I have the 22 SL premium in Boulder gray & I absolutely love it . Perfect car to get around the city of Chicago & technology is really good . I think nissan did a really great job making sure this car stays on top of their sales.

I bought one of these on 12/23. I've had it for just over a month now and absolutely love it!

There’s a reason why this vehicle sells so much. It’s good looking, has incredible gas mileage and has nice features. I don’t think the buyers care about 0-60 at all. I don’t think the majority of vehicle buyers are “enthusiasts” either. I would buy this over the boring Toyota RAV4 and underwhelming Honda CRV.

I just purchased the 2023 Platinum, and it is a great car with exquisite features for the price.

So far I've heard nothing but great things from people that own these. As a previous Nissan owner I was skeptical, but no one I know who has one has had a single issue. Good improvement Nissan!

That interior is EVERYTHING! Great job, Nissan! 👌🏽😍

Nissan design language is so gorgeous !! And their interiors ❤

That is definitely the color combination that I prefer. Looking at a 2023 for my wife. She wants a smaller vehicle than our Murano.

You said "Nissan is late to the party" But not everyone is so gung-ho about buying an EV,the VC 3 cylinder is a great way to transition into full electrification.

Test drove an SV Premium last month and I was thoroughly impressed with it. Thing is, you don’t really need to floor it to get maximum power and acceleration. From a dead stop, this will get up and go with just a little bit of put down from the gas pedal. I tested this in both Auto and Sport modes. Really quick off the line, so I’m betting anything that if you just accelerated normally, you probably would have gotten a slightly better 0-60 time. Just saying. If I could afford one, I would totally buy one, but even the base S trim is expensive as blazes. Still it would make a good addition to anyone’s driveway, I think. Just remember to take good care of the CVT and you’d be set.

We just bought a 24 SL AWD with the premium package. We are very pleased. It’s getting a combined 34mpg , the three cylinder is really smoother than I thought , and we haven’t noticed any vibrations at all. I was a little nervous about its reliability going forward. But the dealer gives a lifetime warranty on the power train as long as we own it. I’ll most likely let the dealer do the general maintenance to assure that they’ll honor the warranty. One other thought: I felt like the SL with the premium package was a solid deal. One gives up the heads up display and the rear heated seats along with the Diamond stitched tan leather. We took the lighter oyster colored grey so it’s much brighter inside than the charcoal imo. Great, informative video

I have a 22 SL with the premium package. The 1.5T 3 cylinder is pretty awesome but it does not like to go full out. You're right about the slight vibration. Also, the stated fuel economy is really hard to achieve even in eco mode. I love it though! It's quiet, comfortable and does what I expect from a crossover. It has more features than the CRV and Rav4 too. I dumped a CX-30 Turbo for this and don't regret it at all. That was a head scratcher after I had it for a couple months. It wasn't a hot hatch and failed as a crossover in duty. I had better storage in my Alfa Giulia with the seats down. I'd recommend the Rogue to anyone looking.

2014 Nissan Rogue here. Still running strong!

I have the 2023 SL trim. I've been able to hit 32 MPG on the highway! Near hybrid MPG without the worry about battery problems or resale value 10 years down the line. I've never had problems with Nissan Rogue CVTs, even at almost 95K on my old one. If you do your maintenance regularly, no problem.

Nissan is definitely on pace of regaining their reputation and building competitive products. Just need to see how their newer CVT’s hold up.

Checked out the Rogue. It was on sale with no markup, and shipping knocked off. I had been watching the inventory numbers, and they selling about 1 or 2 rogues a day. Looks like I will pick it up. Car payments will be between 160 to 200 a month with my trade in.

I had a 21 Rogue. Traded it in for the 23 Rogue Platinum. The exact one in the pic but w black interior. Beautiful inside and out. However, Only getting 23.4 gas mileage. You can drive in Eco. Standard or Sport. I try to keep it in Eco but it resets back to standard when you turn it off. In my opinion, the 21 was a smoother ride and a faster take off. The 23's engine is noisier. There are a couple more features in the 23. In my opinion, they should've kept the 4 cyl.

Would like to add the headlights are phenomenal I have trouble driving at night and the brights are amazing!

Drove one for 2 days as a loaner from my local dealership. Im a full-size truck guy, but I really liked the Rogue.

I rented this on a trip down south. Fun small SUV. The interior and the upgrades inside. Perfect. I’m strongly looking to trade my Subaru Crosstrek for this.

We have nine or ten of the 2022 Rogue SV in our fleet. The ride is so more comfortable than the older version. The OEM tires have a very short life. In the snowy season and you bump a curb, the tie rods break easily and you are looking at a repair over $3,000. This happened with a third of our Rogues so far this winter.

Props Nissan for not sticking piano black everywhere other car companies take notes.

I have driven the non turbo rouge almost 2 years ago and it was a really good drive. Other than the cvt and and not enough power, i liked it alot.

Love my 23 Platinum... The cruise control portion is rediculous and awesome.

Good morning Redline!! Awesome video...lots of Nissans here in Canada.. Thanks Redline

22 SL Premium FWD. I average 33mpg. I've seen up to 39-40 on hwy trips. 29-30mpg cold winter city.

Nissan tech here. You can still get this with the 2.5 liter. Actually, the turbo is less common and more expensive. Of all new the rogues I see, 9/10 of them are 2.5 liter. Anyway, these are excellent. They’ve come a long way. SERVICE YOUR CVT FLUID WITH NS3 AND A NEW FILTER. DO IT.

It's almost as if Nissan is afraid of making the perfect vehicle. The Rogue has a very handsome appearance, beautiful interior, adequate tech, ample cargo room..... and a 3 cylinder engine, WTF?

This interior blows its competitors away!!!

Semi-aniline leather on a regular compact SUV. An interior color other than gray or black. Respectable technology. GREAT styling(love the more masculine appearance over something like the Escape, Equinox, or Forester. Cavernous cabin. Decent refinement(not easy with a 3cyl engine and the harmonics associated with that). It is a great buy. I'd be torn between this and the equally attractive inside and out, Outlander(Mitsu's dealer network sucks, but at least you could get long term support from Nissan).

For that price cooled seats should have been included. Engine does sound good though! 👍🏼

The horn omg 😂😂😂

The 1.5T is decent, but the CVT remains, and is holding this back. Would like to see this 1.5T in something sportier, such as a Sentra Nismo with a manual. The Rogue remains rental grade, just a little better.

I would gladly give up the 3 zone climate to have cooled seats. And only one auto window is a shame in 2023.

Excellent review, although I wish you would have included the pro pilot assistant example. And displayed the ambiance lighting

It tries to sound like a VQ V6 so bad which I think is nice Great review as always

The video states that one can get a RAV4 or CRV for about the same price or cheaper. In California (Sacramento area), the asking price for a RAV4 is nearly $10K above MSRP, and the hard-to-find CRV not so steep but still many thousands above MSRP. I got a '23 Rogue SL AWD with Premium Package for just under MSRP + destination at $39.5K. It's a fantastic vehicle inside and out with amazing features and a great driving experience. My only complaint is that it doesn't get nearly the EPA estimated gas mileage of 31/34 MPG; I'm averaging about 23 MPG with 95% highway driving by my own miles/gallons calculations, not relying on the overly optimistic built-in mileage tracker.

Not putting the ZF 9HP was a missed opportunity in this otherwise rather well executed SUV.

My 2015 Rogue was just totaled by a red-light runner. Rear door and quarter panel demolished, but absolutely nothing entered the cabin of the car. I have two car seats back there, so safety is pretty high on my list. The window in the rear door even worked! (well, halfway until the window collides with the steel 😂) Between its apparent crashworthiness, and the fact that the car performed at 8 years as well as it did brand new, not a single mechanical issue, I see no reason not to buy another Rogue. I am the least brand loyal person on the planet, I've never owned the same make twice. But I don't see a more compelling compact crossover out there, and I absolutely was not ready to let my 2015 go. It's decided. I want it back. They even seemed to have fixed the one thing I didn't care for, the cabin air filter location! 🤣

daughter has a 22 SV Rogue w/Premium, she loves it.. the little turbo engine really gets up and goes. only drawback imo is the CVT. other than that, her Rogue is a really decent suv, comfy ride, sound system pretty amazing too!

There is a little red light on the fob near the remote start button that shows you it has remote started when it has blinked

I just got mine and it was made in Japan.

Good to see 360 camera and HUD. This will force the competitors to step up. 😁

What's with all the blank buttons on the top trim?? Love the seats

I love that tan interior...thats why I'm getting one an I love the fact it's a 3 cylinder turbo.

I just mine brand New 2023 and the price worth it im so happy whit it

If they can do cooled seats💺 on the Murano they can easily do cooled seats 💺 on the Rogue. The higher trim Rogues should have cooled seats as a standard.

I got a 2022 Platinum about a month ago. I was very apprehensive concerning the new engine so, I got an extended warranty. CVT transmissions don't bother me at all. I'm an older man who drives conservatively. I've had 3 Jatco CVTs and I've not had a problem as of yet. I traded a fully loaded 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander for the new Rogue so, I had a NICE SUV. This Platinum Rogue is AMAZING! She rides and drives like a dream! 0-60, I could care less about but, where the variable compression shines is passing someone doing 50 MPH or so. It will sit you back in your seat! It is just tuned for real life driving conditions,, ( it will get you out of a problem situation). My sister has a new Lincoln Aviator. Of course this is a luxury SUV but my new Rogue is very comparable when it comes to the handling, safety options and most of all the interior design! Quilted leather seats are beautiful and the layout is intuitive. DOWNSIDES: There is no air conditioned seats! (WTH)? It didn't come with a tonto cover for the luggage area! $280 for that if you are interested. My biggest bitch is that I have to plug my Android the port for connectivity! What the hell Nissan? Half of the people on the planet have an Android! Now this is not a deal breaker but! Obviously you an Apple are banging each other on the side! Same way with my Frontier! Done with that part... One more thing. Since my Platinum was a 2022 and came in on the same truck as all of the SV 2023s ,,, the dealership had already knocked off $1,000 from the asking price. I went to the dealership 3 times and walked away all 3. When I got home the 3rd time my guy sent me a message that the GM would pay my taxes for the car if I bought it. That was $2,300. So, bought it the next morning. I'm very happy thus far. Good luck and if you are looking for a really cool SUV AWD that gets 34 MPG... You can't go wrong with this Rogue. Rev

Great effort by Nissan. I just wish it had automatic doorlock after walking away like the Honda CR-V does.

My 2023 nissan rogue has a Plastic oil Pan That is prone to break when you have oil changes done. If a car company is going to cheat out on oil pans, what else are they gonna cheat out on

Is the turbo standard on all 2023 Rogues?

Nice overview. I really disagree with the decision to put the drive mode selector where it is on the center console. It'll be rarely used and has the most premium spot on the console. I'd like to see Premium Plus wirh vented front seats, auto up/down on at least the passenger front window, if not all 4 windows, add power steering wheel adjustments, add power mirror folding, seat memory, full power front passenger seat, and wireless Android Auto

I must say, the rogue has been a decent car. I’ve had a 2021 Rogue SV Premium with the 2.5 for a good while now, and the safety assist is very nice to have, has saved me a couple of times…..ride is good, handling is decent, overall, a good car. Drives much better than a rav4, and despite it having a CVT, it’s very responsive, and smooth than a conventional auto. Overall, happy with my purchase. Somehow though, I feel my 2.5 is quicker as this takes more time for the boost to build.

I'd love to buy one, only problem there are only 3 Nissan dealers within 300 miles of me. Closest is a 100 mile drive, just to get a vehicle serviced.

I love all Nissan vehicles ❤

a 3 cylinder hybrid rogue, and bigger rectangular screen like they have in ither countries sign me up, nissan. build it now

Cooled seats is mainly a marketing slogan. There is no coolant or freon running through the seats to provide "cooling." Seats in almost all vehicles are ventilated (fans/forced air) to give a cooling feel from moisture evaporating from your body. So, the proper term is ventilated seats, even though you often hear otherwise... Good review though.

You need to learn how to modulate the gas pedal to get the best acceleration with the CVT. Just mashing it won't be the fastest

Taxi on call😮

Do you expect the ePower hybrid system to come to North America? The reviews from Australia and the UK describe the Rogue hybrid (X-trail there) as a near perfect driving SUV power plant that just doesn’t quite get the fuel economy expected from a hybrid, but the drive experience is a dream. I’d delay buying a Toyota, Lexus or Lincoln PHEV for a year or two if I believed AWD ePower Rogue were coming to our market.

Enjoy noise is ok ?

Anything other then a CVT…NEXXXTTTT. Thumbs up for the reviewer only.

What is the deal with the fog lights??? Are they no longer standard? Are they still available??

I want to buy either Rogue or a Maverick. Now with interests rates up people are not buying the Maverick they ordered. And I am wondering if waiting another month would bring out additional incentives from Nissan. But I definitely have to test drive that Rogue to experience that shudder you talked about.

We test drove this before buying the Pathfinder. We didn't want the CVT

I did own a 2021 Nissan Rogue SV with premium package AWD. The transmission was jerking at 28k miles already. At speeds over 65MPH I felt a little bit of jerking and when I drive slow and accelerate it jerked pretty bad. I traded it in for a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL premium package AWD since I own a 2017 Hyundai Sonata with over 130k miles on it already. The Santa Fe is great so far I love the wireless android auto, the full digital dash, and it shifts way smoother with the 8 speed than Nissans CVT. I guess the CVT's are still crap still after years of complaints. I wanted to give Nissan a chance but it was a let down.

I’m kinda sad that they got rid of the old front headlight design (2016 version) but glad they updated the rear stuff

Nissan did an excellent job with this Rogue, with the exception of the CVT. I don't mind CVTs but I'm not a big fan of them either.

I think these newer CVTs from Nissan are better but it may be to late for people who had to deal with them that last generation including myself. I will never buy a Nissan again after what I went through with my 2015 Sentra.

Nissan your game is rolling downhill as fast as a basketball.

A 3cylinder engine, I cant believe you’ve done this review with a straight face. What a hooptey.

I test drive thos one the other day. The engine is punchy and didnt feel slow, however steering was too sensitive and twitchy for me. I then sat in the back while mt wife drove and whenever it hit bumps the rear would get kind of squirrely.

I stopped liking Nissan in the early to mid 90s, with the 300ZX. Now, this Rogue is a pretty good looking CUV, I'd say. I still wouldn't buy one because Nissan and CVT are synonymous with "Not-so-great reliability." Having said that, Awesome of you to continue pounding out car reviews, Sofyan.

Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

Great review as usual, always appreciate your thoroughness. Wonder if Nissan isn't eager to invest in the hybrid thing cause their research shows Toyota and Honda customers won't switch to Nissan, regardless if they offer a hybrid option or not..

The previous engine was already new, the PR25DD was revealed in 2019 with the Altima.

Still my favorite Nissan SUV I wanted to buy.

Had the SV as a rental on a road trip and was quite impressed. It's quiet on the highway, the ride is very comfortable, the seats are excellent, the ACC and LKA work well. It had me questioning my recent purchase of a Tucson Hybrid, though the Hyundai has a MUCH better powertrain.

The horn sounded like puto or pandesal vendor every morning.

I always get annoyed with blank switches in top level trims. Feels lazy

I found out on the US Nissan website that this combinaison of color, exterior Two-tone Champagne Silver Metallic / Super Black and the interior Tan Semi-aniline Leather is not availlable even if the brochure said it is possible...

I'm actually driving it December and is a very unique vehicle and it's big it gets a lot of power and stuff like that I'm driving it through Georgia to Ohio is very interesting

Our Rogue has the 2.5 4 cyl. It is a 2015. I have always found it to be very zippy. I drive it in “eco” mode most of the time, though.

I have a 2021 with the 2.5 and it’s always had a noticeable shudder under hard acceleration, don’t care for it at all either.

Wife has the version right before this and she loves it. Probably get a new one next year. Comment for Nissan - Whoever thought it was a good idea for the shift to be in reverse when you push it all the way forward needs to be fired. If you have been driving for 38 years like I have, all the way forward HAS BEEN PARK FOR DECADES. Either make park all the way forward or go to completely push button or dial or something different. This hybrid of a shifter and push button is dangerous. I don't drive her car everyday, so I have put it in reverse thinking it should be in part probably 10 times. It's idiotic and needs fixed

Still the best looking car in the segment. Tons of features and amenities. But Platinum trim costs a lot. For that money you can get a hybrid competitor (Tucson perhaps). Sticking to a mid-level trim makes more sense.

I am planning on afford one of them also!

Looking forward to seeing this in my local Budget rental car parking lot.

All Nissan needs now is to add a large hybrid battery to this efficient 3 cylinders engine and it will be the best in the segment, maybe also update this front facia (I really hate the 2 tiers front lights on any car).

When is 2023 rav4 review coming ? I can't wait for u to complaint the $hit out of it !!

GREAT review! Thanks! Why on earth would Nissan make Apple Carplay Wireless but not Android Auto?!? That right there sealed the deal for me! Ugh!

Redline Reviews is quality

Great review as always. Thank you, Sofyan. I'm now satisfied after listening to you and Alex on the 3-cylinder turbo Rogue. Thumb up for you two.

Do you think Nissan will force this 1.5L VC 3 banger into its sister Mitsubishi variant?

Have the new rogue and the engine is super smooth.have had 22 new nissans never any reliability issues at all.if you know how to negotiate the dealers deal!
