PRICE : For 2014 Nissan Rogue $22,490
As little crossovers go, the Nissan Rogue is a relative newcomer. The master copy model debuted simply half dozen years ago, in addition to for 2014, Nissan has rolled out version 2.0 of the Rogue. In general, nosotros thought pretty highly of the first-generation Nissan Rogue, praising its style, driving dynamics in addition to cabin lineament relative to the competition. Nissan is, of course, hoping to proceed its upward momentum going on the fully redesigned model. In improver to offering amend fuel economy, an available third-row spot in addition to to a greater extent than technology features, the 2014 Nissan Rogue remedies some of the primal deficiencies on the master copy version.
One of our criticisms of concluding year's Rogue concerned its pocket-size 59.7-cubic-foot cargo capacity. The 2014 Rogue tin give the axe swallow a class-competitive lxx cubes, in addition to an innovative "Divide-N-Hide" configurable raise storage organisation is available. We also noted that the second-row spot didn't slide or recline inward before Nissan Rogues, but this twelvemonth it does both, amongst a useful 40/20/40-split configuration thrown inward for practiced measure. Even better, Nissan added an optional third-row seat, a especially sharp movement given that the Toyota RAV4 no longer offers one. Remarkably, all of this was accomplished without major increases to the Rogue's overall size or weight.
Under the hood of the 2014 Rogue, things are to a greater extent than familiar. Nissan's compact crossover carries on amongst a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (generating 170 horsepower) in addition to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This powertrain nevertheless leaves something to live desired inward the refinement department, every bit the CVT exacerbates the engine's noisy nature at high rpm. However, amongst a 28 mpg combined EPA gauge fifty-fifty amongst all-wheel drive, the Rogue is ane of the most frugal non-hybrid little crossovers you lot tin give the axe buy.
Despite the 2014 Nissan Rogue's improvements, in that location are competitor crossovers that outdo it inward specific areas. If you lot wishing to a greater extent than power, for example, the Rogue's got zip for you, but the 2014 Kia Sorento boasts a robust V6 every bit good every bit a third-row spot of its own. Another mild disappointment is the novel Rogue's softened suspension, which yields tepid treatment compared to the sporty in addition to similarly fuel-efficient 2014 Mazda CX-5. You mightiness also consider a trip to your Hyundai dealer, where the two-row 2014 Santa Fe Sport promises superior performance in addition to a unique sense of style.
Here's the genius of the redesigned Nissan Rogue, though: It may non live the best at everything, but its broader attain of talents seems destined to draw to a greater extent than involvement than always before. Most compact-crossover shoppers volition wishing to give the 2014 Rogue a look.
EXTERIOR
Premium surfacing is a overnice touching in addition to has a smoothen menses that barely seems similar it is made of metal. The most striking aspect is the novel nose, amongst a deep chrome V forming the primary grille that is straightaway much slimmer than before. The Rogue’s headlights are also shifted from their vertical orientation on the old model to a straightaway horizontal layout. Sharp edges the the lights demo off the LED accent that lines the inner in addition to bottom edges.
Running parallel amongst the glint of a reflection off the chrome grille, the white LED cheque marks inward each corner of the Rogue’s olfactory organ are a fantastic improver in addition to way to give the crossover some major route presence. LED headlights are optional, every bit are fog lights downwards below.
Some premium sill in addition to fender ribbing echoes the BMW X5 amidst others, in addition to the criterion 17-inch wheels brand this affordable crossover seem far to a greater extent than expensive than it is.
2014 Nissan Rogue - Standard Exterior Features :
► Emotive pattern amongst no functional compromise (interior roominess, visibility)
► Halogen headlights amongst auto off function, criterion LED daytime running lights
► Wide opening 2nd row doors for like shooting fish in a barrel ingress/egress

► Rear spoiler
► PURE DRIVE badge

► Eight available exterior colors: Midnight Jade, Saharan Sun, Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic, Super Black, Cayenne Red, Moonlight White in addition to Graphite Blue
INTERIOR
The forepart seats are also impressive. They're the same "zero gravity" seats used inward the Nissan Altima, in addition to they offering greater levels of back upwards in addition to long-distance comfort than the Rogue's competitors. That's especially of import because the seats conform alone half dozen ways.
The 2d row offers plenty of room for ii in addition to iii volition fit inward a pinch. The spot slides fore in addition to aft upwards to half dozen inches, thus occupants tin give the axe take away to maximize legroom or cargo room. Oddly, acre the competitors receive got dropped their 7-seat option, Nissan adds an available 3rd row for 2014. It's reasonably priced in addition to included inward the Family Package, but it's alone useful for kids. Plus, to allow plenty room for anyone to live comfortable dorsum there, the outset in addition to 2d rows receive got to live moved forward, limiting legroom for everyone.
► THIRD ROW :
Nissan openly admits the cramped 3rd row is simply an "occasional seat" best suited for children, but this describes most third-row accommodations inward vehicles of this size. Of course, cargo room suffers amongst that 3rd row inward house every bit there's alone 9.4 cubic feet available. Fold both rows downwards in addition to the Rogue opens upwards to offering lxx cubic feet of total space.
Stick amongst the two-row Rogue in addition to you lot acquire the do goodness of Nissan's novel Divide-N-Hide cargo system. This rather ingenious two-piece cargo compartmentalization offers eighteen configurations. It allows you lot to separate out moisture in addition to muddied boots in addition to clothes, concord groceries inward house in addition to fifty-fifty offers a three-tiered shelving system, if you lot include the underfloor storage.

FEATURES
The base of operations Rogue south starts from a really reasonable $22,490, non including destination charges, in addition to comes amongst all the features most drivers postulate to plug in addition to play it into their garages. It gets powerfulness windows, locks, in addition to mirrors; an AM/FM/CD instrumentalist amongst a USB port; Bluetooth amongst sound streaming; in addition to a rearview camera. Add all-wheel drive, in addition to the cost rises to $23,840 before destination.
On five-seat models, the Rogue comes amongst the Divide-N-Hide cargo storage system. The third-row spot is offered alone on the Rogue south in addition to Rogue SV.
The $24,230 Rogue SV ($25,580 amongst AWD) gains 17-inch wheels; satellite radio; a powerfulness driver seat; automatic climate control; pushbutton start; in addition to NissanConnect, which enables occupation of smartphone apps similar Pandora. This connectivity kit is ane of the easier systems you'll discovery inward the class, amongst to a greater extent than express functionality but plainer functioning than the befuddled Ford setup, for example.
For $28,070 ($29,420 amongst AWD), the Rogue SL gets Bose audio; navigation; a powerfulness tailgate; surround-view cameras, ane of our must-have features straightaway that's it's spread exterior the Nissan/Infiniti empire; 18-inch wheels; heated forepart seats; in addition to leather upholstery.
Options on the 2014 Rogue include third-row seating on base of operations in addition to SV models; run-flat tires; a panoramic sunroof; those advanced-safety features; in addition to LED headlights.
TECHNOLOGY
But alone on the Rogue SL ($3800 over SV for leather, navigation, Bose audio, in addition to bigger wheels) in addition to its Premium Package ($2000) do you lot consummate the technology suite, amongst forwards collision alert in addition to self-leveling LED headlamps, summation a moonroof. Since the moonroof is $1300 on its ain in addition to LED headlamps aren’t cheap, that suggests the FCW constituent costs buyers $200-$300. At that price, it could receive got been offered on the mid-range Rogue SV.
ON THE ROAD
At its best, Nissan adds a sporty flair to mutual products. The Pathfinder is ane such vehicle, but the Rogue is not, which doesn't bode good for hereafter Nissan in addition to Renault products on the Common Module Family platform upon which the Rogue is based. The ride is to a greater extent than oft than non comfortable, but treatment is boring in addition to interior dissonance is problematic. While treatment is somewhat carlike, the Rogue has a style to understeer (push forwards rather than rotate when driven difficult into a turn). That doesn't brand the driving experience bad — it's simply non rewarding.
Nissan provides a organisation called active delineate command to assist the vehicle on its intended path during aggressive maneuvers, but it's alone mildly effective. It amounts to brake torque vectoring that applies the within brakes inward turns to assist the vehicle rotate, but it can't overcome the Rogue's inherent style to understeer in addition to it doesn't add together whatsoever fun factor. The steering doesn't help, either. It's artificially heavy but a chip slow in addition to it offers piddling route feel.
The dissonance issues are due to a combination of drivetrain choice in addition to non quite plenty sound deadener. The Rogue uses Nissan's 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. This provides adequate acceleration, but it's non peppy enough. Nissan isn't quoting zero-to-60 mph figures, but it's probable inward the 9.5- to 10-second range, which is a chip slow for the class. Some rivals offering turbocharged 4-cylinder engines that are considerably quicker.
The CVT responds speedily plenty to tap into the express powerfulness the Roque has, but amongst no fixed gear ratios it sends the revs upwards high in addition to keeps them in that location during acceleration. The final result is an engine moan that owners mightiness discovery annoying, especially when they've heard it for the umpteenth time. Ruts in addition to bumps also travail crashing sounds...SEE ALL PHOTOS
SUSPENSION & BRAKE
The powertrains of the Rogue are the most carryover characteristic versus the groundbreaking exterior style in addition to optional 3rd row of seats inside. This is a machine that appeals to the gist mass market, pregnant an automatic transmission driving the forepart wheels amongst a four-cylinder engine is the criterion setup.
AWD is optional on all trim levels, in addition to the Rogue straightaway puts out to a greater extent than powerfulness for a slightly quicker 7.8-second projected sixty mph sprint. The criterion 2.5-liter engine produces 170 horsepower in addition to 175 pound-feet of torque, which is upwards slightly versus concluding year.
The automatic is nevertheless a CVT, but Nissan is making large claims nearly its usability, performance in addition to efficiency. This "next-gen" Xtronic CVT promises a 40-percent reduction inward friction losses in addition to a 10-percent improvement inward fuel efficiency.
The friction losses stat is the most important, because it refers to a CVT automatic’s powerfulness to channel torque direct to the drive wheels without existence reduced or ‘overspun’ (that irritating drone every bit the CVT absorbs engine power, in addition to thus slow meters it out to the wheels.) The novel Xtronic box also promises a criterion sport style to become amongst the novel configurable dynamics settings.
Much every bit the CVT is non a favorite of die-hard automobile guys, it is a perfect jibe for the Rogue’s target market. It also delivers class-leading mpg scores, amongst Nissan projecting 26 mpg metropolis in addition to 33 mpg highway for the front-drive models.
COMFORT & QUALITY
With simply marginal growth inward wheelbase (up simply 0.6 inches), the 2014 Nissan Rogue hasn't gained a lot of interior room versus the one-time model, which is straightaway sold every bit the Rogue Select. That way it's nevertheless positioned at the smaller destination of the compact-crossover class, but the perception of infinite in addition to refinement has grown considerably. The Rogue's grown up--it's 1.2 inches taller in addition to the doors opened upwards to a greater extent than widely--and it feels to a greater extent than grown-up, too.
As it did amongst the Altima, Nissan has outfitted the Rogue amongst really comfortable forepart seats in addition to a practiced driving position, amongst simply a touching of the Italianate steering-wheel tilt. Super-dense foam in addition to neat sculpting brand the Rogue's chairs a house nosotros could sit down for a 12-hour route trip, no sweat. The manually adjustable seats add together powerfulness for the driver on the Rogue SV in addition to SL, but no rider powerfulness spot is available. Instead, the forepart rider spot folds downwards to extend interior cargo storage--you tin give the axe toss an eight-foot ladder inward through the tailgate in addition to it should fit, provided you're driving solo.
The forepart seats also borrow a page from the Leaf playbook, amongst optional heating controls that warm upwards outset inward to a greater extent than sensitive contact areas.
Adults acquire ample accommodations inward the 2d row, which slides on a 9-inch rails to expand its leg room, reclines for long-distance comfort, in addition to moves upwards in addition to away behind the forepart seats for maximum cargo stowage. It's the 3rd row they'll wishing to avoid: it's barely adequate for little children, in addition to thankfully is an choice unavailable on the top Rogue SL.
Both the 2d in addition to 3rd rows separate in addition to flexure for flexible cargo space. It's lxx cubic feet inward all behind the forepart seats amongst other rows folded down; 32 cubic feet behind the 2d row; in addition to a skimpy 9.4 cubic feet behind the 3rd row.
The third-row seat's such an occasional piece, we'd skip it inward favor of the Divide-N-Hide cargo setup that's criterion on five-seat models. With reconfigurable panels, you lot tin give the axe create stowage boxes in addition to bins inward the dorsum to suit whatever chore you lot have, from carrying dwelling theater H2O ice packs in addition to beverages, to hiding muddy boots until you lot tin give the axe hose them off afterwards a hike.
That active-lifestyle dreaming smacks into a to a greater extent than practical, soothing reality within the Rogue. The cabin's trimmed out inward to a greater extent than substantial, better-looking materials than the still-available Rogue Select, the one-time model carried over for a few to a greater extent than years. The contrast betwixt novel in addition to old is stark: one's to a greater extent than plasticky in addition to vaguely futuristic, one's tightly composed from low-gloss plastics in addition to metallic element trim.
The depression point? Excessive engine dissonance that's amplified yesteryear the way its CVT holds revs inward the to a greater extent than song component of its powerband.
DRIVETRAIN
From a driving enjoyment standpoint, we're non really fond of the 2014 Nissan Rogue's engine in addition to CVT combo. Stellar fuel economic scheme was the priority inward this redesign, in addition to it comes at the expense of rapid acceleration in addition to overall refinement. As such, the engine speed sometimes drops likewise depression for our tastes during gentle cruising, producing unwanted noise from the engine compartment that are audible inward the Rogue's cabin. Hit the gas for maximum acceleration in addition to the engine speed skyrockets, eliciting an intrusive drone from the 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Still, the 170-hp Rogue tin give the axe go out of its ain way when necessary, in addition to it's difficult to complain likewise much when you're earning 28 mpg combined.
Unquestionably, the 2014 Nissan Rogue's suspension is tuned for comfort. The ride gets a chip firmer amongst the SL's criterion 18-inch wheels, but smoothen in addition to supple remains the club of the day. Fun to drive? Not exactly. The Mazda CX-5 easily retains its championship on this front. But for daily driving, the Rogue's relaxed in addition to mostly tranquillity dynamics are probable to hitting the sweetness spot for the bulk of shoppers. This is a compact crossover that drives to a greater extent than similar a midsize one, every bit families on a budget volition live pleased to discover.
ENGINE
The alone powerplant offered is a tried in addition to truthful 2.5-liter four-banger. As before, it puts out 170 horsepower amongst 175 lb-ft of torque. These numbers are competitive, if unimpressive.
2014 Nissan Rogue Review04The engine may live essentially carryover but quite a few changes receive got been made to the transmission. If you lot were hoping for a stepped-gear unit of measurement opposed to the continuously variable trans installed inward today’s Rogue you’re going to live sorely disappointed; the ’14 vintage nevertheless has a CVT, but it’s been refined inward a number of ways.
The biggest intelligence has to do amongst efficiency. Frictional losses inward this gearless cog-box receive got been slashed yesteryear twoscore percent, which results inward 10 pct amend overall stone oil efficiency. Sixty pct of the fourth dimension it works every time!
PERFORMANCE
The Rogue returns amongst the 2.5-liter four-cylinder in addition to continuously variable transmission (CVT) found inward the first-generation crossover. Power output's nevertheless fixed at 170 horsepower, though Nissan says 175 pound-feet of torque set the Rogue at the top of the compact-crossover niche.
Dip deeply into the gas, in addition to the Rogue's CVT modulates the gaps betwixt its pulleys to copy an automatic amongst an infinite laid of gears. It's quicker in addition to smoother to do that, but the Rogue doesn't receive got fixed ratio points--"gears"--or shift paddles to attain them, similar our electrical current CVT favorite from the Subaru Forester. The final result is mediocre, 8-second acceleration to sixty mph, in addition to a noisy respite at the productive destination of the Rogue's powerband. It's genuinely to a greater extent than refined inward some ways than the prior Rogue, but compared to turbocharged four-cylinders in addition to automatics inward the Santa Fe, Escape, in addition to others, it's less satisfying.
Where the Rogue makes upwards serious solid set down is inward gas mileage in addition to handling. The EPA rates both front-drive in addition to all-wheel-drive Rogues at 28 mpg combined, amongst the front-drive model earning a 33-mpg highway rating.
Just every bit impressive is the Rogue's transformed route feel, to a greater extent than secure in addition to substantial than it had been. Electric powerfulness steering isn't the curse hither that it is inward some compact cars: it doesn't wander in addition to hunt on grooved concrete, in addition to takes to changes amongst smoothen responses. The suspension's independent all around, in addition to ride lineament is really controlled--bordering on firm.
It's augmented electronically amongst novel stability-control logic. In ane application, it damps the accelerator to smoothen out the ride over bumps (instead of surging over them). In another, it clamps the within forepart brake inward corners to draw the Rogue through them to a greater extent than nimbly. The effects can't genuinely live sensed without comparison the same Rogue, disabled, though.
Seventeen-inch wheels amongst all-season tires are standard; 18-inchers are an choice on the top Rogue SL
EQUIPMENTS

For 2014, the basic Nissan Rogue south includes a multi-information display, 60/40-split raise seatbacks, a handy under-floor storage compartment, in addition to a 4-speaker sound organisation amongst an auxiliary sound port.

The Around View photographic telly camera organisation gives you lot a top-down 360-degree sentiment of the Rogue's environment when parking, in addition to it tin give the axe live upgraded amongst a alert organisation that notifies you lot when moving objects go into the photographic telly camera system's view. Also optional are a blind-spot alert system, a lane-departure alert organisation in addition to a forwards collision alert system.

FUEL ECONOMY
The Nissan Rogue's gas mileage goes upwards significantly this year, nudging it from the ranks of the mediocre to the top tier of compact to mid-size crossover SUVs.
Last year, the front-wheel-drive Rogue was rated at 23/28 mpg; amongst all-wheel drive, its numbers savage to 22/26 mpg. That vehicle's nevertheless available every bit the Rogue Select, FYI, inward instance you're interested inward a really depression lease payment higher upwards fuel economic scheme in addition to crash-test scores.
This year, an optimized CVT in addition to to a greater extent than efficient tires give the Rogue splendid ratings, on either the metropolis or the highway cycles. The EPA certifies the front-drive Rogue at 26 miles per gallon city, 33 miles per gallon highway, or 28 mpg combined. With all-wheel drive, the combined number stays the same.
There's no computer programme for diesel fuel powerfulness for the Rogue, every bit far every bit nosotros know, in addition to Nissan's hybrid four-cylinder inward the novel Pathfinder doesn't seem likely, given the Rogue's already impressive fuel economy.
