I go to school in a VERY snowy place, after my ‘03 Grand Cherokee failed me me for the last time I searched for the cheapest awd crossover I could find. This checked all the boxes and 6 months later I have to say it did its job through the snow, for the money (on a lease) this car is great if you live in a snowy place. It isn’t the most powerful or stylish car but I fully endorse it for anyone looking for a great value.

Might get one soon first car
Nissan salesman here, the door locking is a setting that can be adjusted to when the car is put into park, engine turned off or you can disable the function all together
Thanks for the heads-up!
RTFM... or just spend literally 10 seconds in the settings menu... also this is a customizable feature on dozens of car models from many different manufacturers... do you actually review cars for a living or not?
Right, I own ☝️
Hey quick question since you're a salesman.... If you forget to lock your doors with the factory alarm..does the car lock itself after sometime that's it's been parked ? I have a Nissan rogue sport 2019
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
I'm glad there's no auto start/stop system. It's annoying
No. Just a junk transmission that will “stop”.
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
I love my Rogue Sport. Especially during winter time. Lots of snow, no problem!
Here's why u need to sell it.
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
Nissan will always use a CVT no matter how much you complain about it...yet these will still sell because in general consumers don't know or care that it has a CVT. So if you are an enthusiasts complaining about Nissan's CVT transmissions you are wasting your breath.
AGREED!!!!!
plus those people complaining against cvt cant afford shit!
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
The reason CVT transmissions exist is because environmental regulation on gas mileage. The manufacturers have to come up with some way of improving mpg, and aside from making very tiny 700cc two piston engine, CVT is the only thing that they've come up with.
Most people who buy this vehicle are not going to be punching it to the floor very often. Take into account their ages. Maybe as car enthusiasts they drive that way.
I had a 2016 Altima and I'm pretty sure the locking and unlocking capability let's you program how the locks function. I had mine programmed to unlock when shifter is placed in "P" This 2018 will have the same features as well. Every Nissan is programmable nowadays🙄🙄 my mother's Maxima even does that
ALL CARS ARE OVER PRICED TODAY!!!!
If nissan just slaps a 7 or just a 6 speed auto to all their suv and crossovers, the world will be much better. Same for all manufactures.
xDinox or you buy it in manual like you can. Problem solved.
You can customize the lock feature. It can unlock after put in park or once the car is off. it’s in the settings.... it’s standard on most nissans
I own a Rogue Srpot, I like it so far. It has locking differential but I wonder if that's better than the Rav4 dynamic torque vectoring.
The comments on this video are incredible.
Wrong, misinformed, not accurate and just flat out useless.
Have any of you drove this car ?
Or just complaining about the cvt of ten years ago ?
TFL did a horrible job at this review.. they clearly did zero research on it and left a negative impression with potential buyers.
All of you seem to be forgetting this is a small city CUV, its NOT going to be fast, it's not going to corner like it's on rails, it's not meant to give you blazing fast shift times.
Theres a separation from facts and reality to ignorance and nonsense, specifically from people who probably didnt even see the car or even drive it.
Agreed, my 2018.5 SL is kinda gutless but with the CVT meant I had to change my driving habits. As long as I steadily apply the throttle it moves out just fine. Rear passenger legroom is lacking but I seldom (never) have rear passengers
I have 2014 Rogue SL AWD and after 6 years I still like it.
It's called the Qashqai in every other country, but they figured Americans are too boorish to buy something that's even slightly difficult to pronounce or foreign looking.
Nah. Everyone else just has shithole country names.
Correct jesse tinker lol
Fuking Idiots......lol
Only the Rogue Sport is the Qashqai, all the other Rogues actually share the same chassis and many other components from the X-trail. They are the same size as the X-Trail. The Rogue Sport is noticeably smaller. Trust me, I'm an Englishman who has driven a Rogue in California last year.
Here in America we call them shite nowadays. Here's why
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
I have Rogue Sport SL fwd I lease through work. This thing could really use another 60 hp for weight of the vehicle, the other is you can't use all the bass in the audio system. Could use some upgraded speakers really bad. And I think they should call it Qashqai. Back seats are to upright they need to recline like the Rogue.
In other markets this is the Qashqai. In the U.K. it is among the top 2 or 3 best selling SUVs. And darn it, it is available nearly everywhere else with a manual transmission and a diesel engine.
The "regular" Rogue is not sold anywhere but in North America, I believe, tho I could be wrong.
Rogue? Built in North America?
Rogue Sport? Built in Japan (though other markets get U.K. built Qashqui).
I hate that the car doesn't have reclining rear seats what is with manufacturers not doing that anymore
Folks, I have a Nissan Rogue 2018. My only issue with it is the backup camera. It freezes for about 1 or 2 seconds after you start the engine. Thereafter, it works perfectly. I haven't noticed any issues with the transmission or the heating. 100K miles so far.
140hp SUV with a CVT? kill it with fire!!!! $30k is a ridiculous msrp for this thing.
Maui Chris don't watch the video then bitch
Rick James5678 seriously
Crosstrek is 150 hp and cvt but it takes k02 tires 3 inch lift and goes with jeeps to offroad...
I bought one of these because it fit my needs, especially the mileage. I've gotten over 33mpg highway but typically get about 27.9 according to the onboard computer. Anyway, the first thing I did was come to your channel to see you take it up Gold Mine Hill, to see how it could do vs. other small crossovers. It might not have done well but I definitely feel cheated that you didn't try.
So far, I am loving my rogue. Black with fully tinted windows, it looks badass. Yes, the engine lag is annoying but is a give and take> I used it well when entering the freeway on fast traffic and so far, no problems.
I own a 2018 Rogue. I don't have any "engine lag".
Some of the information in this video is not really accurate or in depth.
I have a 2018 qashqai (same thing).
If you go into the menu there is a very simple menu to follow to get your car to unlock the doors when you shift to park.
The default setting is ignition off which I'm sure was set during this video.
I set mine to open door locks when shifted to park and it's perfect that way.
The 2.0 and ctv is sluggish, but it's a city car in my option, not a sports car.
I've done 37 mpg highway on a 450km road trip, nothing to complain about.
I strongly agree it looks much much better then the rogue.
My SL AWD with leather and the 19 inch wheels and all the tech was 32 grand.
For what I got and how it works, yes it's alot of money for a compact SUV, but I'm not angry at the price for what I got.
My only complain so far and I'm about 5000 miles in to owning it, is it has some road noise, specifically coming from the rear of the vehicle.
It's very noticeable at highway speeds.
I LOVE the flat bottom wheel, adds a little character and is very comfortable in the hands.
No android auto is very very annoying, but "rumors" say there will be an update to the infotainment system coming late this year to incorporate it.
Would I recommend this car ? Absolutely.
Compared to its rivals and after test driving them all it was an easy choice to me.
and this is very honest. coming from an actual owner. others complain and don't even own a bicycle.
cliby25 I could have added another 3 pages.. but i got the simple points across.. my problem with this is how TFL didnt do simple research on how the door locks work.. they are supposed to be giving honest reviews but yet they dont know how to operate a menu to select the door lock feature. Its stuff like this that could turn people off from buying a car.
Again, I'm happy with mine. Zero regrets.. and if you just play around with the infotainment and menu settings in the cluster people would be amazed on what can be changed and how you can customize the vehicle settings for yourself.
Even something as simple as changing the steering feel to sport. I find it much more driver friendly then the comfort setting.
Shame on TFL for this horrible review and shame on the people for lashing out on a car they have probably never seen or drove.
Stephen Ferguson hello I have the same car 2018 rogue sport SL AwD you mentioned that in 2019 it will update the system to add car play. But how is that going to implement it in 2018 cars? Just cusrious
Might wanna sell it quick.
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
There is an option in the settings to have the doors unlock when you shift into park.
Which do you like better this or the kicks?
It took me a moment to realize that here in Canada, the Rogue Sport is known as the Qashqai ( pronounce this as cash kai )
Not a bad little Rogue,...but I think Nissan needs to do something else with the CVT if they ever want to impress folks. It does get decent fuel mileage, but can't tow worth a damn. ( actually, neither can it's bigger brother the Rogue, and that's a real pity , in my humble opinion at least!)
Reg Sparkes yup.....
Maybe Nissans wondering if its gonna be a cash cow for them in vehicles.....id buy it if it didnt have a CVT
Have any of you drivin this vehicle?
The cvt is nothing like it was years ago.
It's more refined and very comfortable.
It's a city car ! It's not meant to give you blasting shifts like a Porsche PDK, You people have to be realistic.
It's a small city car designed for comfort and easy drivability.
Sometimes I flip mine over to the "manual mode" for a bit of fun.. it's no duel clutch but it's fun.. key word is fun..
It's like you want this car to be a GTR in a tiny CUV body.
Stephen Ferguson, no, I have not, but apparently I should, and will very soon.
I'll have to check out these points that you've made here.
Cheers!
Towing with the CVT on anything except the Titan will void the warranty as I was told when I bought my 2018.5 Rogue Sport SL. I learned that although it's kind of gutless on the acceleration if you romp on the pedal, it moves out better if you gradually apply throttle instead.
I bought mine because it has a CD player in it. True story
2005 Pontiac Vibe doors unlock when in park and you turn off the ignition. Also the car gets usually no less than 30mpg regardless of the highway/city drive mix. Because of the reliability it’s been easy to avoid car payments for ten years.
I sure hope you try and get on Facebook while you are driving. There are safety laws to not text while driving, however, it seems more unsafe with all the detractions on the dash!
There should be an menu setting to change the unlock feature. My mom's first gen Rogue it can be set to unlock when the car is put in Park or when it's turned off.
Was looking at possibly buying this car, but once I heard CVT I knew that was a big no no. Heard horror stories about those transmissions. No thanks. But thank you for the honest review.
I have a 2018 Rogue. I've had no issues so far. Emphasis on "so far". It's 100K miles right now. But if I had the money, I would maybe get an EV. EVs don't have transmissions at all.
Also noticed there’s no designated “sport” mode
Lol facts. Mines has an eco mode
My Rogue 2018 has "sport" mode. It just causes a lot of revving.
@@skywind007 I have the Rouge Sport, no sport mode button but i assume since its the sport model its always in "sport mode" idk lol
You do know you can program the auto park unlock on your steering wheel settings right? 😒
I have a 2009 Rogue I bought used with really low mileage and I love it. It has the cvt and at first it was freaky I actually thought there was something wrong with it but after reading the owners Manuel I understood it more. Room wise for me it's good I'm 5-6. I would buy another of I could afford the $30'000.
Here's why you need to sell it asap.
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
@@thegrouchyoldman6909 Same can be said any other manufacturer. I had a 19 Elantra, it broke down constantly
It’s a beautiful crossover. It handles well, nice interiors and exterior design but the engine used for this American version it’s so old. Next time let’s bring it with the 1.6 turbo, or at least with the 2.5 of the regular Rogue.
Piersandro Mannino you are correct, the Rogue Sport needs the 1.6T motor. I have a 2015 Juke 1.6T with a 6 speed manual. And it is a blast to drive. Very sporty. Hot Hatch territory. I was considering trading it in for the Rogue Sport. But after a test drive decided against it. Kept my Juke.
I notice the Rogue you review has cheap interior. Not sure about the step brake either Mine doesn't have that. My Rogue Sport is gorgeous black and leather. I do have three things that I will complain about. Two of which you didn't cover. I completely agree with you that the door unlock thing is a pain in the ass. It constantly gets in the way and they need to change it. The other thing is the manual liftgate. Seriously? You can't give me a power button? Last but not least, no heated mirrors. How 1988 of you. Charge me 400 more and give me all three. I'd have paid it. Other than that I couldn't be happier.
The lock thing is cool I dont like auto locks. Keeps cops from opening your doors like they like to do . lol
Is there a way to open the trunk from inside the car or from the keys? Seems like the only way is to actually do it manually from the back of the car
I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe that does the same thing with the door locks, however it can be reprogrammed, without a computer, to unlock all doors when in park and I've changed mine to this. Nissan may as well have this option buried somewhere.
I have a 95 Pontiac Bonniville that gets 30mph, runs great, very smooth quiet ride and I bought it for $1500. Love it. My Dad has a Nissan unfortunately and...
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
I own a 2017. I like it.
Here's y u need 2 get rid of it asap
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
Thank you guys all the way from California
3 things. It only has 140 hp so it's not going to be quick. It's called sport so it's not going to have the smoothest ride. I dont see what's weird about the doors unlocking until the car is turned off. I really enjoy the reviews keep them coming.
Infotainment is the one thing that Nissan has been lacking by comparison with the competition. Everyone else has gone for Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I imagine it'll probably change for 2019 or 2020.
Josh Post the Nissan connect system was the best around when launched in 2013 but yes it badly needs updating. In saying that mines always worked well, never locked up and does all I need from it. Just looks dated and needs android auto.
Great video. Can you do a video about the best SUVs in 2018/2019. Thanks
Great video!!!👍
The "chassis control" feature is a complete nightmare. I can not turn it off either. On a steep driveway, it almost comes to a complete stop trying to "assist" you. It completely cuts the throttle and you crawl at 0.00001 kph. People behind me must be wondering WTF I'm doing :(
Nissan Rogue Sport 2018 - I like how I can maneuver like a sedan but load a lot of items like a larger SUV. Fuel Economy is much better than my last car. Would have liked more horsepower as I prefer to start fast and drive fast and I was told I'm only hurting the engine. Got the base model but some of the other models would have been nice too.Did about 35K miles in 18 months. I love it.
Here's y it's time to sell it.
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
So how much have you guys paid for the rogue sport?
I just bought bought one of these that looks exactly the one you reviewed. I have less that 300 miles on it. I did not realize it was not a turbo till I saw this video. It is a loaded up little car for 26k though.
Would have looked at it untill you said no stop start . Would be a deciding factor agains a car with it that has to be disabled everytime you get in . Hate it unless you have a hybrid system to get the car going to start the enigne.
WOULDN'T have looked at it
GREAT VIDEO I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND YOU GOT ALMOST 30 MILES ON GALLON I HAVE A 2017 SPORT WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN NEVER GOT 30 MILES THE RIDE SUCKS THE POWER IS BAD AND THE CVT SUCKS ALSO NO POWER LIFT GATE IF YOUR LOOKING AT THIS CAR LOOK SOME WHERE ELSE CANT WAIT TO GET RID OF MY ROGUE SPORT.
i find with the rogue . once you ad 4-5 people it drags . 4 cylinder is not good .
yea the strangest thing is no apple car play or android auto but i think its wired only.
What's the sport in these suv?
And that door lock actuator is how people get trapped inside their vehicles with a dead battery ..... where does the owner’s manual say the “bypass release” is at .... under the driver’s door sill, under the dash ... it’s odd that laws mandate the trunk should have a universally recognized system to escape from a locked trunk & even the Ram Cargo Boxes..... but manufacturers disguise emergency door lock releases so they don’t interfere with interior esthetics
Subaru crosstrek uses cvt as well and goes off roading easily... people add 3 inch lift, 235/75 k02s....
Why does America not get this car with a 1.5 diesel engine with 74 mpg the most common version of this car in Europe called the Qashqai, which by the way, is called after a tribe living in Iran.
What a picky video. I own the sport sl and it’s amazing. It handles amazing and rides so nice. Yes it’s slow but who buys a crossover for speed? And yes the trans is kinda poop but it’s a great car. It’s silly they complain about the parking break and the door locks like it’s so strange. I don’t want that big ole hand break up in my space keep it down there. And please lock my doors when I start driving.
Needs turbo or 6cyl
Then go for Porsche. This one is good when you need to drive from A to B. And it does it.
I hate that the doors do that, and I'm glad it doesn't have start/stop
I forget where I heard where a car company should just build a car that everyone would buy. Kind of like Henry Ford built the Model T. I believe it was Toyota that wants to get into the niche of being that kind. I do like the full-size wrong with the stadium seating in the back that you can see over the driver and passenger. I thought the ride was very pleasant in the full size I have yet to be in that vehicle that you're in. All in all for the price I don't think it's too bad. PS where is Roman?
I don't get it.. why Nissan are still selling us the old "Qashqai" model but in Europe and other parts of the world are getting the new facelift "Qashqai" Rogue Sport.
the rogue sport in canada is called the cashquide
QuashQai**
Have TFL sold out? Nathan the Power waggon guy loving the quasqui (name outside of North America)
For that amount of money I'd buy a wrangler (new or used) - personal choice!
You guys always say all these things about how it's cool and impressive for these cars to have all those safety features when it's standard on every Toyota including the Corolla for 18k and a lot of Hondas.
Ethan02135 so if people cared Ford would not be the best selling brand in America so stfu
So toyota and honda have had the 360 deg camera standard since 2014? Yeah, didn't think so. Educate yourself.
My only sad face on this car is the no Android Auto or Apple car Play.
WS P agreed. Rumor mill has it there will be a serious infotainment update to fix this coming early 2019
Great video, with alot of great information. That was everything I would have wanted to know about it.
It does look better than the Rouge but where are the tinted windows??
Too many electronic nannies.
They should have called it the Roguette.
My car broke and Nissan traded it with me for a demo version of the Nissan Rogue Sport and so the design is a little the same like y’all’s but some things are different but yeah that’s why it’s depressing why I can’t go to these videos for information that I didn’t know so yeah
Now I know the reason for the stupid name. Sales numbers. The power cut is probably some software TCU code to "extend the longevity of the CVT".
Dam thats a fast car 147 hp ..my neck hurts ...
Stop start is a pain and is not good for engines and other parts so if it had a choice of yes or no on stop start I will not have stop start.
Lol I got a 2008 SLawd...if you want you can test mine, haha and looks like Nissan kept most of the old stuff but I have to say the CVT behaves much better in the 2008 and maybe you guys can compare the Old n the New
CVTs tend to struggle offroad in AWD situations? Suburu would disagree with you!
Have you tried Subaru Outback AWD cvt? How is that like for mostly city driving? I am confused between Outback, Tucson, and Rogue.
*you mean gravel-driving.
@@v10moped Oh no. Look up Subaru offroading. They are no joke.
They are having trouble getting the electric fan for these
Beware of the Rogue's automatic braking system! My daughter's 2018 model is activating the brakes for no reason! Dealer cannot replicate the problem but it's now becoming a complaint by other owners. You can bypass the automatic braking system via the dash controls, but, you must do this each & every time the vehicle is turned off & started again. Can the actual radar sensor be disconnected to keep the automatic braking turned off without having to key this info in each time the car is started?
Nissan issued a recall for 2017 & 2018 models, will update software to resolve the problem at any Nissan dealership Service department. Got mine done. I have 2018.5 SL Platinum
The bad is reliability it is gonna last 50K miles without a transmission replacement ????🤔🤔🤔
Anderson Rodriguez or at least 60k. These Nissan CVT dont last as Toyota or honda CVT
Mitul Jariwala thts for sure Nissan selling junk to costumers no quality at all
My Altima cvt has 110k on it with no problems
I had 195 thousand kms on my nissan Murano before trading it in and the CVT gave me zero issues sense I first bought it.
Guess I was a lucky one ?
I know the early models had alot of issues, but I think they have made significant improvements.
Stephen Ferguson improvements ? Yea ok lmaoooo as long they with Renault they gonna b bad to buy a Nissa rather buy a Hyundai more reliable better quality
Nissan won't send another car/crossover ur way anytime soon. They do that when reviewers are critical to their lousy CVT. Lol.
The normal Rogue is much quicker and better than this rogue sport.
Normal rogue 2.5 engine
I've tried both
And that stupid unlock system that It has to be turned off to unlock is on many Nissans
Why call it the Rogue Sport? Around the world, it’s a Qashqai.
Yet another reviewer who does not know how to drive a CVT equipped car. When you smack it instantly to the floor, you actually slow your acceleration. You must not to aggressively but quicker than if you are just pulling away from a traffic light under normal circumstances. It is hard for me to explain what I mean. Just push the pedal progressevly to the floor, not instantly to the floor like these guys. Wish I could explain it to them to their faces.
I did come to TFLCar for this review. It's not there. It's only TFLNow. But that's the "vlogging" channel. But this video is not a vlog. Seriously, your distribution of videos across your channels is a dumpster fire; it only makes sense to you, not to your viewers.
Yeah cvt sucks I had one before and it sucks
The bad=CVT. There is nothing "Sport" about a Nissan Rogue Sport
I have a rogue sport and I'm trading it in for a VOLVO
Stiff and jiggle which one is it
No auto stop/start? Selling point! I personally don't want auto stop/start in a non-hybrid.
Nissan qashqai?
Damn Nissan smh but people will buy it I'm sure
i get over 30 in my rogue awd
Good. You can use the gas saving money to replace the transmission everytime it goes out.
th-cam.com/video/8h_r_OuJU-w/w-d-xo.html
Just AWD S no need of all tech, under 21K. 2500 Rebate... Best Deal Ever!!!!
How much did you pay for your rogue sport s awd?
The disappointing thing about this SUV is the fact that it gets worse fuel economy than the bigger regular Rogue.
mine got 38 on the highway last weekend in ECO mode with the cruise engaged. I don't think that's terrible
@@joetaylor2394 yeah that's actually really good.
I wouldn't buy anything painted in black , turbo or with a CVT . The car is perfect for me but that stupid CVT is a deal breaker . I rather have a 4 speed transmission than a CVT .
armando cardenas this isn't turbo. Although it could do with one. What's your reason for not liking turbos out of interest? Also in most places the Qashqai is sold as a 6spd manual.
Tall and wide
Definitely better looking than the rogue. That thing is probably the worst in class. Even compared to the abortions that Chevy puts out.
bgtx have you seen the new Chevy Blazer?
The Xtrail you are referring too looks better than most the other nonsense available, esp GM rubbish. But you have to at least spec it with 19inch wheels, tints and roof racks or they look mundane. Mine in black looks great on 19inch charcoal DTM rims with aggressive rubber. And unlike the rest it actually can go off road. That's a big seller.
Thank you for this review, guys! Because of this video, I will NOT be buying a Nissan Rogue Sport. Whew, that was close!
🐇
Well it's a sport I would hope it's stiff
The car is called something different, at least everywhere else in the world except the U.S. market. Its called the Qashqai, and the reason it's not called that in the U.S. is political and hilarious. Google it. 😄
Sarah is SO much more funny than Mike. Sorry mike.
I like how technical Nathan is. Haters can foxtrot Oscar with their trolly behavior
Save your Money wait for the 2019 Redesign and Hybrid to compete with 2019 Toyota’s RAV4
Mike, you're trying too hard to be funny. It has a foot brake. Why is that weird? It's an "economy" car.
Anther ok looking slushy suv dislike
