I love your reviews, but it seemed like you went into this with a negative bias towards small SUVs. I've driven this, and I actually thought it was pretty good for the price point. You can't expect $40,000 equipment on a low-mid $20k car.
I agree. I watched because I have a friend who just bought a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport so I wanted to get an idea of what it was like. It’s very similar to the Jeep renegade I used to own. I think he did come into this review a little negative but it is a review & he’s just being honest. I do agree that you cannot expect $40,000 on a small car that’s meant to be low in cost & more affordable.
I only came to the comments to see how many performance car enthusiasts somehow thought this car was marketed to them.. lol. If you care about performance and driving feel, you won’t like a cvt.. but at the same time, the people who buy these vehicles, with CVTs, don’t care about those things. They care about good gas mileage, smooth acceleration, and predictable acceleration; everything a CVT does
Connecticut Dashcam It’s funny you say predictable acceleration because every single Nissan I’ve driven with a CVT doesn’t accelerate smoothly or predictably.
KentB27 interesting you say that because I would say the exact opposite. You hit the gas and you get no shift shock, or downshift shock, it’s just smooth. If you want more power you push a little more.. no jerking around or any nonsense
Connecticut Dashcam shit acceleration, average gas mileage (no shit Sherlock, it’s paired to a severely underpowered in-line 4 cylinder that needs an update badly), and sounds like hot garbage. How do I know this? I owned one. A nice SL AWD from 2016, it was rubbish. Never again.
I'm shocked by this review and the comments. As a small person, I need a small car which allows me to sit higher than the average sedan or hatchback to see around corners. I don't want a monster "Compact" SUV. Think about someone else's point of view for a change, please.
I think as a reviewer you let your personal bias come into the review. I dont need to hear how you dont like small crossovers. I need to know how the vehicle is based on its merits as compared to like kind vehicles. You obviously have never had to park in areas where parking is so compact that you barely have any room to move your vehicle. People in those areas still need utility but at a smaller size. Imagine trying to drive and park an Traverse or even a Highlander in Key West. Sometimes a subcompact is the only option in certain areas where a CRV is still too big.
So, this is more of a general comment, but I really appreciate how Sofyan shows the car's interior and the road that he's driving on as if the viewer is driving, and not having the camera pointed at his face the ENTIRE TIME during the driving portion like some other TH-camrs (and you know who I'm talking about).
I bought one because I thought it looked sportier than the std Rogue. With the seats down, I can fit my whole bike. Plus, it being 4" lower makes it easier for roof access in the summer for water sports! Test drove a Mitsubishi OL Sport and it was way worse, only good thing was that it had 160hp.
Nissan needs to get it's shit together. Almost all of the cars in their lineup, excluding the 370Z and R35, has not, or will not age well. The R35 has aged well, but it's fallen flat compared to it's competition. Not much change was done to the R35, and it's starting to need a redesign. The 370Z was long due for a redesign, but unlike every other car in it's lineup, it's probably the best option to go with.
This car feels and looks like a car from 5 years ago because it is. We’re just barely getting it here. Nissan being their usual mediocre self but sadly fleets and credit challenged people keep eating them up.
We didn't buy our 18 SL for the price, we bought it because it is freaking loaded and sporty as hell. A co-worker bought a CRV and as far as looks, style and comfort there is no comparison. I would have expected to pay much more for this vehicle. It has GREAT pickup when you step on the pedal, unlike the Jeep Compass I bought a couple of years ago. I don't have anything bad to say about this vehicle after owning it for 7 months. Your review doesn't show the best that Nissan has to offer in this model. To show that I'm not totally biased, I do have one let down. The blue tooth is far more complicated than it needs to be. Even with Suri for Apple. Other than that it's an amazing value for the money.
A lot of stupid comments from “experts” . I and a female friend test drove this car and the Rogue. This car felt more nimble more sportive more pleasing to drive. She finally chose this one over the Rogue and bought a SL loaded very nice. She didn’t care that the Rogue is bigger or more powerful because she drives mostly alone and this car is cheaper. She didn’t even notice or know anything about the CVT. Now you know what kind of people buy this car, ordinary people. Not many people want big, fast cars then pay a fat monthly bill.
Jonathan Washington "Sporty"? None of them are or were sporty. Both lack power, use aids CVT (unless you find that rare 6-speed manual model in the lot) and none of them were initially made for "sport" modes as you don't really race or speed with them like you would do with a Golf or a BRZ. You simply deliver your skinny family from point A to point B under minimal room conditions. That's why Sofyan and many others don't like CUVs. Plus, the Juke was the ugliest CUV ever made. Rather get an Accent hatch and still look nicer on the road.
Aki Lavni The juke was the "sportiest" and quickest is what i meant idk if the soul is in the same class if so thats the hot rocket currently with its 1.6 and 7 speed dual clutch
We have a fully loaded sl with tan leather Navi sunroof led headlights auto high beams and adaptive cruise. It’s great!! For a rental it’s really nice it sits lower and feels like it’s big brother. Overall very very very happy
Great review as usual Sofyan. Good to have you back at a 100%. Mazda USA just uploaded 3 videos of the Mazda 6 first look and Redland Reviews was the first one. I hope that means that they are sending you one to review and test drive soon.
I felt the same way about the Altima. It takes far too much planning to pass or merge due to a lack of power, although the average A to B driving is acceptable.
Great review! I'm flummoxed trying to figure out why these vehicles are so underpowered. Is it all for the sake of fuel efficiency? I'm not concerned with overall hp as I am with torque and the ability to get the vehicle on the freeway or having to pass someone going much slower than you. They look nice and all, but what good are looks when you can sprint faster on foot than some of these vehicles can accelerate??
Man I'd love to have a job like this. I'm sure it's not the only thing you do but test driving all sorts of different vehicles seems like a fun and a great job to me.
I bought the 2019 SV model for my wife in Canada last month. Nissan finally add Apple car play and bring the most of the important safety features to the SV trim. Exactly like the reviewer said about the power train performance, but that's not our biggest concern to choose this auto. We need a SUV to have a higher view and more ground clearance, but small SUV are so small make the whole segment way lake of comfortable both driver and passenger, i think SUV should't means Small useless vehicle. Compact segment are little bit too big in my wife's sight. Also, the trims with safety features are little bit expensive. Then the Qashqai (ROGUE SPORTS) comes to be the perfect size for us, and with 26k CAD we have all we need. we trade in our old cruze 2012 and the leasing price for 60 months cost us 310$per month. As another reviewer said, "its a perfect second car for a family"
@@paolo9425 for the space, its much more better than all the small suv segment, front and back. Front Chairs are very comfortable, feels quite when you drive it. nissan made this North America version more sporty, the engine are more responsive(even its not powerful,thats why the fuel efficiency are worse than regular rogue ) and suspension give back more road feeling .It give a perfect feeling driving in the city, good view, with a not too big size, engine are better than the small turbo one for me. Infotainment system are totally garbage, feels like you're using an old Nokia smart phone with Symbian system. But we got apple carplay on 2019 model (so whatever) cargo space are ok for regular use. things they didn't say is that the speakers are really good, even its not Bose. The safety features are really good and useful, back camera are clean and clear most of the time(my CRV have to wipe ass everytime). Most important thing is the price. it seems Canada market are little bit cheaper than US.
@@paolo9425 If you compare all the small and sub compact SUVS, the models with safety features. I only find hyundai kona at better price than qashqai sv.
I can't believe 27 mpg is all this thing could manage. My 2015 Mazda 6 gets 27 mpg in only city driving. It gets 35-37 on the highway easily. Sometimes even as high as 39.
I drive a 2015 Impreza sport and it’s a great car but there’s nothing sporty about it. Obviously that’s the WRKs strong suit but yeah i don’t know why they call these cars “sports”
My 2005 Altima is rated 23/29 (which is exactly what I get) and it has 175hp with a 4speed automatic. The CVT is supposed to get better mpg, but only gets 2 better (comparing to FWD Rogue Sport) and has less power. I don’t know too much about cars, but that just bamboozles me. Also, I have no idea how the Rogue is the best selling SUV when it has such a dated interior, an exterior that doesn’t impress me like competitors, and a CVT that people complain about all the time. I haven’t driven any new Nissan vehicles myself, but at this rate I don’t think I’ll ever be getting another.
I am buying a used one, I got mine yesterday. One of my complaints is that the steering wheel feels like it’s made of plastic and can be a bit slippery. It needs a steering wheel cover to give some grip. I’m not crazy about the flat part of the steering wheel, wonder if the make a steering wheel cover with the flat part. And yes it’s a bit noisy and is a bit slow on the takeoff. Other than that I haven’t had the chance to discover anything else I might be disappointed with, but over all, I really like it. Mine didn’t come with the gps system, I’m going to have to add it in later, until then, I’ll just use my phone. I’m not sure I have remote start, my key fob only has 3 buttons, a lock, an unlock, and an emergency button. I don’t think it came with remote start. I hope it does though. That comes in handy on hot or cold days when you want to either heat or cool your car before you get in.
The 2018 rogue sport is designed to be a first car for a younger person. It’s something that a parent would buy for their child’s first car, something that’s dependable. It’s supposed to be something they don’t have to worry about. No it’s not the best but if you’re going to get something for a first time car owner, it’s perfect for that.
Using it as a rental for an out of state trip,For what it is--it is very good.The car can easily do 80 mph while getting above 30 mpg--which I was interested in.The seating position and ride height is very very good--you sit up pretty high and it has good room for the front passengers.It is also very very easy to drive.if you are going on a small vacation--like a weekender or a few days and you need a comfortable--easy to drive fuel efficient vehicle--this does it.BTW honda and KIA do not make a lot of basic models and their price climbs into the high 20 low 30k range--especially with AWD models.My DD is a KIA stinger GT with a twin turbo 6--so anything short of a sports car feels slow.I am using this because I will be going into light mountains and it sits up high and can handle light gravel roads with ease.My stinger is brand new and too low for mountain driving.BTW rentals on this are between 25 and 40 dollars a day which is very cheap for what you get.Only downfall is the performance--but to tell you the truth--I welcome it since it will not encourage very high speeding like my stinger does.If you are going on very long trips--or maybe thru someplace like texas where you can go 80 mph plus--spring for a better vehicle--but you will pay at the pump and at the rental place to upgrade.Also if you have a new driver--an AWD version of this as a base model is a great starter car.The AWD will be welcome to anyone when the weather gets bad--I also got AWD on my stinger and it is a fantastic option.I am also renting an AWD model of this and it was no charge.All CVTs in this segment need planning on the HWY--it is the tradeoff for fuel efficiency--which can get into the mid 30s if you stay near the speed limit.
It's a shame how much better the Quashqai is over this Non-sport! It's like a Nissan and some other Import brands just don't like or understand the U.S. market. We like fun, sporty, quick cars too! We spend millions voiding our warranties to get horsepower gains, lol, and maybe that's it!🤔
Warning! Pissed off distracted driver doing 50 mph in a densely populated 30 mph zone! I’m surprised your fuel economy is not worse. BTW the Crosstrek is a jacked up station wagon. This Rogue Sport is a very different creature, meant for city dwellers. Yes, I have test driven it and it is a glorious expression of mediocrity. Slow down bro.
Another reason to get this over the standard Rogue is that this is actually made in Japan. Call me a snob, but I think if you're buying a vehicle from a Japanese manufacturer, it might as well be made there too.
I had one for a rental for 8 days. I hated it. The ultra light steering, the cvt, no power. It's also a dumb size. What's the point of it? Just to be smaller than the Rogue?
Why would I want a car that goes from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds when is illegal or impractical to do what? Having a 4x4, or an 8 cylinder SUV that seats 10 people when I live alone and work 10 minutes from my house? I spend 35 dollars a week on gas and the drive is very nice and comfortable in my 2018 Nissan Rogue. This is my 7th Nissan and I love it. My 3 grandkids love it as well.
Nissan if y’all don’t get y’all shit all the way together your gonna mess around and be like Mitsubishi lol 😂 and trust me you don’t want to be almost extinct.
Hey guys let’s get one fact straight. Nissan is getting a little long in the tooth ,we all must admit it’s very stale and behind the times in styling all except it’s flagship the maxima. That’s what I meant by it’s going to be like Mitsubishi. When you let your models go a long while without a refresh they will become stale and loose it’s customer sales. And Honda and Toyota have always kicked Nissan and Volkswagen ASSES in sales ,quality and resale value ok #Thatsafactjack
I rented one and realized I wasn't a Nissan fan. You just know when a car is a match for you, and it wasn't for me. I went with a preowned Corolla XSE. A few extra features at an affordable price and reliability just to go to work or the store.
If you’re looking for a non biased review, find Alex on Autos. This guy is totally biased when it comes to Honda. Go watch his review of the Honda HRV to see my point.
I don't get why so many cars don't have the one touch electric windows as a standard option. I mean, if a basic ass 04' Corolla has one touch windows (front and rear) why can't these cars have them too? Or is this just a US thing?
Why is it "good" that the CVT tries to mimic shifting? It seems ridiculous to me. I get that some people might not be accustomed to the way a CVT works, but trying to mimic shift points is as silly to me as sending V12 exhaust sounds through the car's speaker system to make it sound more "sporty".
Come on man, i like your channel and your content, and i don´t even like this car, but do yourself and your audience a favor, next time just don´t review a car that you know you hate even before you test it, i get that YOU think a bigger car is better and make more sense, that´s fine and i happen to agree with you on that, having said that you should review a car without this bias, the review became a rant on how the industry have no idea of what they are doing, and let me tell you something they do have a pretty good idea and they are generally right, you say a normal rogue fits more people, but it really doesn't, its 5 people for both (OK the rogue have the 7 passenger version but if you need that just get a freaking van it makes more sense) you say it lacks power, but anywhere in the world 140 hp is perfectly adequate for a car this size and the speed limits are really really close anywhere nowadays, the car is not amazing but its cheaper and if it's you your wife and 1 child what difference does it make a Rogue sport a regular Rogue or a freaking Escalade, let me tell you, it makes NO DIFFERENCE, of course the bigger the nicer the more expensive, the better will be the feeling of ownership, but it´s completely not necessary. I think you should just say no to cars you dislike from the get go, that will make your channel much more honest, if a car is bad don't pull your punches for sure, show the flaws and criticize as much as you want, but to start saying you dislike the hole sector makes your review pointless.
I know that my Mazda 3 hatchback 6MT is a completely different class of vehicle than this but honestly, it gets me nearly 15 mpg better than this car, and because it's a hatchback, still plenty of cargo storage, all while costing less to purchase and run than this AND it's fun to drive on top of all that.
Wow that gas mileage is absolutely awful. My Kia Soul gets 25 City and 30 Highway and I have a 6 speed Automatic. Plus I don’t even get 25 mpg I usually average 28 in the city. That’s ridiculous come on Nissan.
I guess. A coworker of mine switched her Outlander Sport for a Rogue Sport. I am with Sofyan. Buyers in this class want a cheap car that has ground clearance.
Double JJ It’s not really even ground clearance they want. People like the higher driving position. A lot of people dislike sitting low to the ground in cars.
KentB27 That's what meant. My brain is unplugged today. I understand the feeling. Felt that way on my first car. Got tired of sitting too low but after sitting in so many SUVs, I got too tired of sitting too high. The driving experience felt slow and top heavy. Realizing sitting too low isn't too bad. Compact and midsize sedans/hatchbacks will always be my choice just because of lower center of gravity and looks.
Dylan Wodrich That’s because it pretty much is. This car has been sold in other parts of the world as the Nissan Qashqai for at least several years. It’s like Nissan taking leftover pizza and reheating it for the Americans.
Sofyan, this segment is NOT filled w/useless vehicles: My NISSAN Rogue Sport gets 3 people and ALL our gear to the beach every sunny weekend! Plus I can park it downtown with a lot more ease than folks w/Ford Explorers & Chevy Traverses. Sofyan, get with it pal!
I agree with you. Subcompact crossovers/SUVs are pointless. Buyers who are looking for this type of class want a cheap car that has ground clearance. Otherwise useless. I hope Subaru lends you a Crosstrek. I think you'll like it.
Test drove one today. Yes,the car bitches at you when you punch it,and it won't go ! Very,very,slow! Steering not very responsive, brakes mushy. It was a no go for me. Shame cause I loved the looks and interior!
I love your reviews, but it seemed like you went into this with a negative bias towards small SUVs. I've driven this, and I actually thought it was pretty good for the price point. You can't expect $40,000 equipment on a low-mid $20k car.
I agree. I watched because I have a friend who just bought a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport so I wanted to get an idea of what it was like. It’s very similar to the Jeep renegade I used to own. I think he did come into this review a little negative but it is a review & he’s just being honest.

With that comment it's obvious you've never even sat down in one.
honestly nissan is a great brand with lots of great vehicles but they really need to start redesigning their vehicles more and more differently

Because Nissan gives huge discounts to make sales and probably has a lot of cash customers/low credit customers. Also they sell to rental fleets.

And yes it’s a bit noisy and is a bit slow on the takeoff. Other than that I haven’t had the chance to discover anything else I might be disappointed with, but over all, I really like it. Mine didn’t come with the gps system, I’m going to have to add it in later, until then, I’ll just use my phone. I’m not sure I have remote start, my key fob only has 3 buttons, a lock, an unlock, and an emergency button. I don’t think it came with remote start. I hope it does though. That comes in handy on hot or cold days when you want to either heat or cool your car before you get in.
The 2018 rogue sport is designed to be a first car for a younger person. It’s something that a parent would buy for their child’s first car, something that’s dependable. It’s supposed to be something they don’t have to worry about. No it’s not the best but if you’re going to get something for a first time car owner, it’s perfect for that.
Have you fully recovered from Bell's Palsy Sofyan? I wish you all the best
Rithik Patel It looks like it. I'm glad he's better.
Glad you're feeling better man
Using it as a rental for an out of state trip,For what it is--it is very good.The car can easily do 80 mph while getting above 30 mpg--which I was interested in.The seating position and ride height is very very good--you sit up pretty high and it has good room for the front passengers.It is also very very easy to drive.if you are going on a small vacation--like a weekender or a few days and you need a comfortable--easy to drive fuel efficient vehicle--this does it.BTW honda and KIA do not make a lot of basic models and their price climbs into the high 20 low 30k range--especially with AWD models.My DD is a KIA stinger GT with a twin turbo 6--so anything short of a sports car feels slow.I am using this because I will be going into light mountains and it sits up high and can handle light gravel roads with ease.My stinger is brand new and too low for mountain driving.BTW rentals on this are between 25 and 40 dollars a day which is very cheap for what you get.Only downfall is the performance--but to tell you the truth--I welcome it since it will not encourage very high speeding like my stinger does.If you are going on very long trips--or maybe thru someplace like texas where you can go 80 mph plus--spring for a better vehicle--but you will pay at the pump and at the rental place to upgrade.Also if you have a new driver--an AWD version of this as a base model is a great starter car.The AWD will be welcome to anyone when the weather gets bad--I also got AWD on my stinger and it is a fantastic option.I am also renting an AWD model of this and it was no charge.All CVTs in this segment need planning on the HWY--it is the tradeoff for fuel efficiency--which can get into the mid 30s if you stay near the speed limit.
Our EU QASHQAI door when closing has a nice thud noise when closing it
When is the review coming for the 2018 Mitsubishi outlander Phev?
It's a shame how much better the Quashqai is over this Non-sport! It's like a Nissan and some other Import brands just don't like or understand the U.S. market. We like fun, sporty, quick cars too! We spend millions voiding our warranties to get horsepower gains, lol, and maybe that's it!🤔
Warning! Pissed off distracted driver doing 50 mph in a densely populated 30 mph zone! I’m surprised your fuel economy is not worse. BTW the Crosstrek is a jacked up station wagon. This Rogue Sport is a very different creature, meant for city dwellers. Yes, I have test driven it and it is a glorious expression of mediocrity. Slow down bro.
And many times going 60. Very unsafe on those back roads.
Why would you pay for this rogue when the larger one costs about the same.PLUS it gets better gas mileage. What was Nissan thinking?🤔🤔🤔
PLATINUM it’s a compact suv
PLATINUM Cost maybe?
I suppose lol
PLATINUM Nissan did good I think the Rogue sport is pretty good suv n mine does really good gas mileage
There’s something about nissans that I don’t trust? (Reliability)
Another reason to get this over the standard Rogue is that this is actually made in Japan. Call me a snob, but I think if you're buying a vehicle from a Japanese manufacturer, it might as well be made there too.
Are you going to do a Q&A?
Good review & great Nissan.
I see rental car written all over this thing
Rob S 😂😂😂💀
the new Altima rental car replacement
I had one for a rental for 8 days. I hated it. The ultra light steering, the cvt, no power. It's also a dumb size. What's the point of it? Just to be smaller than the Rogue?
"If you think this is a "sportier" Rogue, you are wrong"
Love the sass, and love your reviews
Not s sure about US but at least in Canada the Qashqai/Rogue Sport has a manual transmission in the base S trim
review way to emotional
*too
Completely agree.
Wouldit be quicker if the CVT didn’t mimic shift and stay in the torque or power peak?
Does this replace the Juke?
It’s called a Qashqai in the UK
Why would I want a car that goes from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds when is illegal or impractical to do what? Having a 4x4, or an 8 cylinder SUV that seats 10 people when I live alone and work 10 minutes from my house? I spend 35 dollars a week on gas and the drive is very nice and comfortable in my 2018 Nissan Rogue. This is my 7th Nissan and I love it. My 3 grandkids love it as well.
What a lovely CVT drone!!
BryB I don’t mind cvt it’s good on gas so I don’t care
Anthony Molina would love for them to do a vehicle without a CVT like a NISMO Maxima.
BryB it would die need replacement before 50K miles anyways 😂😂😂
Anderson Rodriguez it’s fixed only the 13 model had problems
Anthony Molina still have the same problems people are still complaining bout it for more than a decade now same bs is all Renault fault
Nissan if y’all don’t get y’all shit all the way together your gonna mess around and be like Mitsubishi lol 😂 and trust me you don’t want to be almost extinct.
cordney hill extinct? Lol Nissan is the number 1 selling company in the world when you group it in with Renault and Mitsubishi
occckid123 right behind Volkswagen and Toyota get your facts straight
Hey guys let’s get one fact straight. Nissan is getting a little long in the tooth ,we all must admit it’s very stale and behind the times in styling all except it’s flagship the maxima. That’s what I meant by it’s going to be like Mitsubishi. When you let your models go a long while without a refresh they will become stale and loose it’s customer sales. And Honda and Toyota have always kicked Nissan and Volkswagen ASSES in sales ,quality and resale value ok #Thatsafactjack
Volkswagen sells much more than Honda and it switches between them and Toyota.
Brady Thatdude Nissan is ahead of both Volkswagen and Toyota b**** so get your facts straight
you complain a bit too much on this one
This is how yonge people now aday,,,only complain.
Also he dont rev CVT .
I’m just trying to figure out where the tinted windows are
Sofyan looks like your recovery is going well! Hope you're feeling better.
Great review Sofyan! Will you be reviewing the Hyundai Kona this year?
I rented one and realized I wasn't a Nissan fan. You just know when a car is a match for you, and it wasn't for me. I went with a preowned Corolla XSE. A few extra features at an affordable price and reliability just to go to work or the store.
so is the CVT transmission I've had friends tell me they are bad just want to know why I actually like this sport model for extra car not my main car.
Glad you are looking healthier.Good luck.
My sister has this car. I did a lot of work on it. I replaced the headlights to fully LED
I would to add that when the windshield wipers are on full speed the whole car shakes back and forth when at a standstill lol. That’s a first!
If you’re looking for a non biased review, find Alex on Autos. This guy is totally biased when it comes to Honda. Go watch his review of the Honda HRV to see my point.
Finally the headlight looks better
Very bery nice reviewer guy !!! Thanks a lot man.
What kind of watch do u wear? Thanks
You can get a compact, new or lightly used, for the price of this, which can top 30.
manual shift available in Canada on FWD version.
Love watching your reviews. Let me be honest I wouldnt drive this if I won it in a rafffle
Which is bigger..Rogue Sport or Juke?
Even in Canada we have the Qashqai, weird that the U.S. doesnt have the name
Is it MR20DE?
Love your videos! Hope to see a review on the Volvo xc40 soon! Beautiful SUV ❤️
I don't get why so many cars don't have the one touch electric windows as a standard option. I mean, if a basic ass 04' Corolla has one touch windows (front and rear) why can't these cars have them too? Or is this just a US thing?
Why is it "good" that the CVT tries to mimic shifting? It seems ridiculous to me. I get that some people might not be accustomed to the way a CVT works, but trying to mimic shift points is as silly to me as sending V12 exhaust sounds through the car's speaker system to make it sound more "sporty".
Anything he liked about the car?
Love the comments. No power, like any of you are daily driving anything with over 400 hp.
I like this design better then the old rouge design.
Review the new Hyundai Kona? They offer AWD and the 1.6T GDI.
Your reviews are always very in depth. Keep up the great work!
They should've added a turbo in it or bigger engine. I have a Rouge 17' great SUV
Looking good Soyfan....looks like you kicked Bells Palsy.
What is the opening song to this video?
Come on man, i like your channel and your content, and i don´t even like this car, but do yourself and your audience a favor, next time just don´t review a car that you know you hate even before you test it, i get that YOU think a bigger car is better and make more sense, that´s fine and i happen to agree with you on that, having said that you should review a car without this bias, the review became a rant on how the industry have no idea of what they are doing, and let me tell you something they do have a pretty good idea and they are generally right, you say a normal rogue fits more people, but it really doesn't, its 5 people for both (OK the rogue have the 7 passenger version but if you need that just get a freaking van it makes more sense) you say it lacks power, but anywhere in the world 140 hp is perfectly adequate for a car this size and the speed limits are really really close anywhere nowadays, the car is not amazing but its cheaper and if it's you your wife and 1 child what difference does it make a Rogue sport a regular Rogue or a freaking Escalade, let me tell you, it makes NO DIFFERENCE, of course the bigger the nicer the more expensive, the better will be the feeling of ownership, but it´s completely not necessary.
I think you should just say no to cars you dislike from the get go, that will make your channel much more honest, if a car is bad don't pull your punches for sure, show the flaws and criticize as much as you want, but to start saying you dislike the hole sector makes your review pointless.
I do not need to fill out the wheel wells I am thinking about the cost of replacing those tires so for me give me the 17 inch tire. To each their own.
Xtrail?
I have the 2017 SL version . Good solid car but wished they put the Juke engine in this. 😂😂
Steff67’ Ish trust me, you don’t want the Juke engine. The carbon build up is scary
I know that my Mazda 3 hatchback 6MT is a completely different class of vehicle than this but honestly, it gets me nearly 15 mpg better than this car, and because it's a hatchback, still plenty of cargo storage, all while costing less to purchase and run than this AND it's fun to drive on top of all that.
Wow that gas mileage is absolutely awful. My Kia Soul gets 25 City and 30 Highway and I have a 6 speed Automatic. Plus I don’t even get 25 mpg I usually average 28 in the city. That’s ridiculous come on Nissan.
These 'useless' subcompact SUVs are the same size as the Compact SUVs from 10 years ago.
DAVID Y And they are still useless.
Depends on whose point of view.
I guess. A coworker of mine switched her Outlander Sport for a Rogue Sport. I am with Sofyan. Buyers in this class want a cheap car that has ground clearance.
Double JJ It’s not really even ground clearance they want. People like the higher driving position. A lot of people dislike sitting low to the ground in cars.
KentB27
That's what meant. My brain is unplugged today. I understand the feeling. Felt that way on my first car. Got tired of sitting too low but after sitting in so many SUVs, I got too tired of sitting too high. The driving experience felt slow and top heavy. Realizing sitting too low isn't too bad. Compact and midsize sedans/hatchbacks will always be my choice just because of lower center of gravity and looks.
vs tucson vs sportage ??? non turbos 2.0 which better ?
I have a aunt that has a reg rouge her daughter just bought the sport as her first car.
This already looks like it's five years old
Dylan Wodrich That’s because it pretty much is. This car has been sold in other parts of the world as the Nissan Qashqai for at least several years. It’s like Nissan taking leftover pizza and reheating it for the Americans.
KentB27 Getting leftover poop in a diaper and calling it brownies
Dylan Wodrich Because it’s the 2014 Qashqai. Nissan just wanted to be retarded and not use the 2018 Qashqai which had a refresh
Sofyan, this segment is NOT filled w/useless vehicles: My NISSAN Rogue Sport gets 3 people and ALL our gear to the beach every sunny weekend! Plus I can park it downtown with a lot more ease than folks w/Ford Explorers & Chevy Traverses. Sofyan, get with it pal!
couldnt you just test an SL instead of keep mentioning what extras you get if buying an SL??
140hp outta of a 2.0ltr is this 2000?
I agree with you. Subcompact crossovers/SUVs are pointless. Buyers who are looking for this type of class want a cheap car that has ground clearance. Otherwise useless. I hope Subaru lends you a Crosstrek. I think you'll like it.
In Europe the is 1.6 turbo 190 bhp with 6 speed manual
Test drove one today. Yes,the car bitches at you when you punch it,and it won't go ! Very,very,slow!
Steering not very responsive, brakes mushy. It was a no go for me. Shame cause I loved the looks and interior!
