![]() Overall, we think the "C" rated 2015 Nissan Rogue has enough positive qualities to satisfy your needs. For three rows of seating, the Kia Sorento is really the only worthwhile option outside of much larger crossover models. For similarly impressive cargo space and respectable real-world fuel economy, we recommend checking out the well-rounded 2015 Honda CR-V or Subaru Forester. The 2015 Mazda CX-5 is the Rogue's polar opposite when it comes to driving enjoyment, and it's still suitably refined and versatile. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to compact crossovers, each with their own strengths. Even if you were willing to pay the extra cost for an engine upgrade (such as the turbocharged four-cylinders or V6s offered by most competitors), the Rogue doesn't offer one. Basically, it's hard to get good fuel economy when you're struggling to get up to freeway speeds. During our long-term test of a Nissan Rogue, we've found the EPA fuel economy estimates to be very optimistic and difficult to reproduce in the real world. Its handling can feel ponderous, and the combination of a lackluster four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission ( CVT) result in noisy and uninspiring acceleration, especially when the Rogue is carrying passengers or cargo. But the downside to this soft suspension tuning is that the Rogue is not especially enjoyable to drive. You'll also like how this Nissan crossover's compliant suspension keeps the ruts and potholes at bay when driving over broken pavement. There are several cargo configurations, and with both rear rows folded down, the Rogue matches class leaders with 70 cubic feet of cargo space. ![]() The available third row is small, but overall, storage capacity is high. And as a bit of a rarity in the compact crossover segment, there's optional seating for seven. Interior surfaces are made from high-quality materials that look and feel particularly upscale, especially on upper trim levels. It has a lot to offer for families, but the compact-crossover market is full of excellent choices so it's become harder and harder for vehicles to stand out in the crowd.Ĭertainly, the Rogue will be appealing if you're interested in comfort and available space. The attractive and stylish 2015 Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover that offers seating for five or even seven passengers. ![]()
