The Rogue Sport is the Qashqai in Canada, btw. It really runs out of breath on long mountain grades or steep hills. The low engine horsepower and CVT is fine for flat city/suburban cruising. Otherwise, upgrade to a regular Rogue or better yet, a Mazda CX-5 or even a Kia Soul....
I got a 2020! I drive Uber with it ! Smooth ride and customers love it !!! I drive like 5000mile a month and I do like 32 mile a gallon. It’s slow but I make money !!!
I just checked it out at a Nissan dealership. Just wanted to try out the seat, etc, didn't drive it. I found it quite comfortable, but the roof is squeezed down low on this model and I didn't have much headroom. I'm about 6' but a shorter person would have no complaints I'm sure.
I just bought a 2020 Rogue Sport and I have 2 major complaints that buyers should be aware of: It is grossly under powered and I have trouble accelerating when I suddenly need to, and second, it does't offer a dial pad on the touchscreen which I often need when in the middle of a phone call. If you are asked to select 1 for customer service, or 2 for the plumbing dept. etc, you can''t do it on your touchscreen because there is no dial pad. The dial pad is present on my 2018 Hyundai Kona but not on my 2020 Rogue Sport.
Cvt's do not last if you need to accelerate hard all the time. Stop putting yourself in those situations, or you will be replacing it. For best speed gains press the pedal moderately aggressive but not just instantly to the floor that does NOT give you the quickest speed gains. and have the CVT fluid and filters two by the way changed every thirty thousand miles Do not abuse that CVT and get it serviced or you will be replacing it.
Get off of the goddamn phone. There are motorcycle riders out there and many are sitting at traffic lights hoping you do not hit us because are playing with your goddamn screen.
Funny how you just came out of another compact SUV! I like these, they've also added more value for 2019 with more safety features, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, a touchscreen audio system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more... I'd pick this over the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport or Eclipse Cross. :)
Of all the design choices on Nissans my favorite is the little pocket in front of the center armrest for your phone. It's so easy to drop my phone in and it's only an inch away from your hand if you need to pick it up. My Altima has it and it's so much better than keeping my phone in the cup holder or storage bin under the radio. Anyway, a small detail but one more car manufacturers should do.
Agreed! Little design choices like that really make a difference (at least to me). Sometimes I think manufacturers forget to make cars useful/practical, because they're so focused on making a car look good.
So glad my ass is not hocked to a phone like most people these days. Wake up people when me and my fellow motorcycle riders are sitting at a redlight, we are praying you are not texting on your goddamn phone, because our life matters to us.
The Qashqai, huh? I like that better than "Rogue Sport". It always amazes me that manufacturers give their vehicles regional names. Just call it the R204 (or something similar) worldwide. Then we can all talk about it. 👍
my grandad owns a uk market 2017 qashqai which has the base engine for that year a 1.2 4 cyl turbo 115 hp which cannot get out of its own way at least its not stuck with an auto, so the us base engine is huge in comparison to the base one we got
I enjoyed driving both the Rogue Sport and the Rogue as rentals, but I wouldn't recommend buying them considering what else is available for roughly the same money.
Hmm, dang your rental car instrumental panel and rear interior seems to be dirtier than normal for a rental (?) I don't think you got the wheels correct on your review, don't know the size you have but I think you have plastic hub cabs and Steel wheels, also seems you didn't mention if you were reviewing the AWD version(?)
The camera is not kind to these cars. In reality, they don't seem that dirty, but the camera accentuates every little dust particle. And it's very possible I got the wheels wrong, I usually refer to the manufacturer's website to figure stuff like this out. But their sites are horribly unhelpful. Anyway, thanks for the comment. I'll try to be more accurate in the future.
I rented a Rogue Sport S before buying a Corolla XSE. It was just ok. I couldn't figure out how to have the interior lights on the center console screen illuminate at night but that's probably my fault lol.
I have the 2018 Rogue sport S; I traded in a 2016 malibu LT 1.5. I wish I kept the malibu. the Rouge sport S; I have is bare bone, cheap plastic interior all over. I didn't realize at the time this model "does not" have all the safety features and sensors the other rogue sports have. No lumbar support, eyes rolling hub caps(even chevy base 2016 malibu has rims) no keyless push-start or keyless entry, no adaptive cruise control, no 360 camera view, no power for rear passengers, no powered liftgate, no auto-on headlights, no way to turn off DRL lights(when I'm waiting to warm up my car, I don't want to shine light into my neighbors across the street windows at 5am), no exterior courtesy lights, no in-dash compass, boring, plain, none touch screen radio; that only uses your phone Bluetooth to play music and call function only!, no map app, Andriod auto or car play. Nissan is not giving much for this car for the price. My first Nissan I'm not impressed I will be trading this thing There is nothing sporty about this vehicle event tho it has sport mode steering setting.......it gets -2 stars....I'm going back to chevy.
Clearly you got the extreme base model and that sir is your fault. The other trims of rogue sport has everything yours is lacking. You should have done your research before buying.
Definitely not a fan of the "shelf" system in the back. Looks way to flimsy to support any serious hauling. I would bet that even just weekly grocery store runs would quickly ruin those thin things. Has decent enough tech though for a cheapo car. As always, love the quality of your videos. And if your job ever brings you down into GA, just let me know if you'd like to film a video with a luxury pickup. I've got a 2016 Ram 1500 Longhorn Limited and I'd be happy to lend it to you for an afternoon or two for a video.
Fantastic overview, I would take the Hyundai Kona, and the Soul (if you don't need AWD) in the Sub-Compact SUV category, or even spring for couple 1000s for a Hyundai Tucson, Toyota Rav4, or Kia Sportage over the Rogue Sport.
Disney Fan right because the hybrid is so ‘slow’ . lol come up with a valid argument besides engine noise because every single one of the competitors has a four cylinder too.
@@user-oq3lv6lv7x I don't mind the engine noises just as long it's responsive and smooth. My favorite 4-cylinders would be the Forester, Tucson, Sportage, CX-5 even the RaV4
How can they put sport on the name of this car! There's nothing sporty about it at all! The regular Rogue would be more sporty than this! I'm disappointed in Nissan for this. SMH

We are so tired of hearing what it is called in Canada we know.

Any reason you decided not to test drive it?
The flat bottomed steering wheel is supposed to be sporty. Also, it leaves more room for your legs

Maxima is a large sedan, it accelerates much faster. The Rogue Sport/Qashqai is a subcompact SUV.

Howdy, great review as always! In my opinion, this car is a great value.😸😸

Yeah I was going to say.
I have a 2019 qashqai SL which i believe is the highest trim. I love it!
I may not have heard him if he stated but does anyone know if the this vehicle has Apple car play?
the "Rogue sport S" don't nor does it have Android auto Bluetooth connection only.
Yes
It came out in 2017 in the US, but it's been called Qashqai in Europe since 2014
The Qashqai, huh? I like that better than "Rogue Sport". It always amazes me that manufacturers give their vehicles regional names. Just call it the R204 (or something similar) worldwide. Then we can all talk about it. 👍
@@100RentalCars You should try renting with Silvercar and do a review for them

I noticed it had rear vents. This is a nice feature for a base trim.
I like Nissan interiors. I don't like vehicles with no power though.
I was always wondering the difference between the Rogue and the Rogue Sport.. Looks like the Rogue is much better! Thanks for reviewing!
My console and shift driver lights are not lighting up.
Not sure what button I pushed to turn them off.
Can you assist?
Thank you!
perfect review, straight to the point! thank you!
These things are a little zippier with the 6 speed manual
Is there a hybrid option on the Rogue Sport. Really enjoy your reviews and the things people might leave in the rentals :-)
What's the mpg like?
I got to drive a 2018 Rouge SL last week and I couldn’t believe how slow it was. It was horrible to drive.
You are correct. They need a turbo.
I enjoyed driving both the Rogue Sport and the Rogue as rentals, but I wouldn't recommend buying them considering what else is available for roughly the same money.
What rental companies have this?
I got this one from Enterprise.
We got a fully loaded one from national
Nic e, how did you like it?
100 Rental Cars great car. Zippy and pretty efficient
Agreed. I think it makes for a great / fun rental, but I'm not sure I'd buy it.

CVT? No thanks, I'll pass. But I still enjoy your videos.

frankly the nissan rogue sport s without all the fluff sounds perfect.

Yes, a real key just what I want. If you are too damn lazy to turn a key, you should not exist.
I bought one but....wtf mines was 2020..
Gotdamn i got played
I’m missing the acceleration. The interior is ok for the price imo. National should bring back the Jeeps 😂💪🏻 good video as always. I agree with ⭐️⭐️
Gabriel National has a ton of Jeeps. This is Enterprise

Just a FYI, it's considered a compact, not sub. Subcompact would be that qasqui
Nick R the qashqai is the same as the rogue sport
@@trentonhull5972 kicks then
Nick R yep that’s what the kicks would be...never see people even driving those though
@@trentonhull5972 it's ugly and under powered and no AWD option
Nick R styling is ok, but it would sell a lot better if nissan offered a faster engine, AWD, and better build quality

@@100RentalCars 😩😩😩
The rogue sport is actually made in Japan. So reliability compared to the bigger rogue will be a lot more promising.
Lol! An Allen Park car review. Nissan makes the worst vehicles.
