basic warrantyThe 2019 Rogue is a true value-for-money package offered by Nissan, which is superior in terms of economy and utility. It sits below the Murano in Nissan's lineup. The 2019 Rogue comes in only one engine option and 2 drivetrain options. The engine produces adequate power figures, but it is quite sluggish and noisy. The regular gasoline variant offers excellent fuel economy, but if you need more, the 2019 Rogue also comes in a hybrid variant too, which will be reviewed separately.
Considering the fulfillment of family needs, the SV is the best trim option among the three. You get features like dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear parking sensors, and rear automatic emergency braking. And the best part is its pricing, which is only $1,000 costlier than the base trim. And if you go for its AWD variant, it costs you $1,350 more, which is again a better choice over the FWD.
The 2019 Nissan Rogue comes in three trim options, namely the S, SV, and SL. Yes, you don't get a lot of options as far as trims are concerned. Prices for the 2019 Nissan Rogue start from $25,000 for the base S trim and go all the way up to $33,000 for the top-of-the-line SL trim. It rivals the likes of the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2019 Honda CR-V, and 2019 Mazda CX-5.
The 2019 Nissan Rogue is offered in three trim levels, namely S, SV, and SL, and you have options for the FWD as well as AWD in each of the trims. Starting at a price of $25,000, the base trim packs decent features which are required in day-to-day life, whereas the SV and the SL have added some luxurious features like dual-zone climate control, heated ORVMs, NissanConnect with navigation, heated front seats, Bose premium audio system, and motion-activated liftgate.

Which trim should you buy?
Considering the fulfillment of family needs, the SV is the best trim option among the three. You get features like dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear parking sensors, and rear automatic emergency braking. And the best part is its pricing, which is only $1,000 costlier than the base trim. And if you go for its AWD variant, it costs you $1,350 more, which is again a better choice over the FWD.
The 2019 Rogue is powered by a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated inline-4 motor, which is being shared among all the trim levels. It produces 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft. of torque, which is being channeled through a CVT transmission that feels a little sluggish. It comes in a standard FWD drivetrain, while the AWD variant costs $1,350 more. Apart from that, the powertrain of the Rogue is a bit noisy, which can be a dealbreaker for many.
This car takes way more time to accelerate from 0-60 mph or to complete a quarter-mile drag than its rivals. It takes almost 9.3 seconds for its acceleration and more than 17 seconds to complete a quarter-mile, and one of the reasons is its sluggish CVT. Many previous-gen Nissan CVTs were caught in a class action lawsuit owing to their poor reliability. Nissan obviously made significant improvements to the transmission, but it isn’t sufficient enough.

Although the Rogue has a 2.5L motor, which is almost similar to that of CR-V and the CX-5, it is a little underpowered. The Tiguan with the smaller turbocharged engine competes quite well. The Rogue has a sluggish CVT unit which leads to slower acceleration. The 2019 Tiguan comes with an 8-speed automatic and is the fastest among all. It could have posted better performance figures if Volkswagen had dealt well with turbo lag.
The handling and driving experience is not a key aspect of the 2019 Nissan Rogue, but still, it won’t disappoint buyers. The car feels relaxed when you cruise it on a straight highway. The steering feels very light and has a crisp response. The suspension setup is well-tuned to provide a softer ride experience, and it absorbs bumps quite well. It is probably the USP of this SUV. However, on the flip side, the car doesn’t feel planted on the roads and its cornering performance takes a hit.
The 2019 Nissan Rogue has an all-disc brake setup with 11.7-inch and 11.5-inch rotors at the front and the rear, respectively. It also has all-wheel ABS, which further enhances its braking performance. You can expect a great response from it in an emergency braking situation. The vehicle stops from 60-0 MPH in just 137 feet when the brakes are slammed. Considering its weight, the braking performance is adequate, but there is scope for improvement.

The Rogue, CR-V, and the CX-5 have almost equal-sized brake rotors both at the front and the rear, while the Tiguan has the largest brake rotors. The CR-V is the lightest among all and has a superior braking performance. The Tiguan, despite being the heaviest, stops at 134 feet from 60 MPH, thanks to its large brake rotors. The crossover from Nissan performs the worst in the department.
The fuel economy of the 2019 Rogue is something that really grabs the attention of its buyers. Its 2.5L inline-4 motor delivers an economy of 26 mpg in the city and 33 on the highways in its FWD configuration, while the mpg figures lower down by 1 mile for its AWD variant. It is also equipped with a 14.5-gallon fuel tank, which easily extends your driving range to up to 400 miles in the city and 500 miles on the highways. The combined driving range is about 420 miles, which is very good, and you won’t have to fill up the tank often.

The Rogue is the most efficient of the lot with a combined mpg of 29, while the Tiguan is the least efficient of the lot despite sporting a turbocharger. However, VW has added a large fuel tank of 15.3-gallons to compensate for the lower fuel economy. The CR-V and CX-5 offer a combined fuel efficiency of 28 mpg, but CX-5 wins the range game owing to a slightly larger fuel tank. The Rogue wins the range game owing to a moderately sized fuel tank and better fuel efficiency figures.
The 2019 Rogue offers one of the best cabins in the segment. Either in terms of plushness, space on offer, or the usage of quality materials, it never lets you feel like you are in a mid-range car. The soft-touch material runs all over the cabin, while the same can be optioned with leatherette material in higher trims. The dashboard looks well-built and shows its ruggedness with the soft-touch elements on the top. However, the center console is finished in gloss black trim which looks a little cluttered with a lot of buttons and knobs. The flat-bottom steering wheel is also wrapped in black leather which feels nice to hold in your hand.
Coming to its seating comfort, the Rogue leads the segment in terms of the room on offer and comfort. Nissan’s zero-gravity seats are the ones you’ll enjoy the most. You’ll get 6-way manual adjustments for the front seats in S and SV variants, while the SL gets 8-way power-adjustable seats with heating functions as well. The rear seat comfort is quite appreciable, and you have ample room for three to sit comfortably. It also offers class-leading trunk volume as well at 39.3 cu-ft. This is enough to store some large-sized bags, while the cargo capacity can be increased to 70 cu-ft. by folding the second row.

All the cars have seating for five passengers, while the Tiguan can seat seven. Moreover, the front row space on offer by the Rogue is quite appreciable. You’ll get plenty of headroom and legroom here, while the others have a little less space. In the second row, the CR-V offers maximum legroom. Apart from that, the Rogue provides better utility than others with a cargo space of 39.3 cu-ft, which is a class-leading one. Some of the standout interior features of the 2019 Nissan Rogue are:
The infotainment on the 2019 Rogue feels a little dated compared to what rivals have on offer. It features a 7-inch touchscreen display right at the center of the dash. The panel is quite bright, but the resolution is poor. Nonetheless, it feels fairly easy to use with all the knobs and buttons surrounding it. The unit has all the generic features like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, and two USB ports. For your music needs, you get a standard 4-speaker stereo that can be upgraded to a six-speaker audio system or a nine-speaker Bose premium audio system as you go up the trim ladder. Some of the standout infotainment features of the 2019 Nissan Rogue are:
The 2019 Nissan Rogue looks elegant but does not really have attractive aesthetics. It is quite bigger than an average-sized crossover and stays a step ahead of its rivals. From the front fascia, one can easily predict that it is a Nissan from just a glance. It has a signature V-shaped grille in a thick chrome finish with a Nissan emblem at the center. It has a halogen headlamp set up with the LED DRLs, which merges perfectly with the grille.
From the side profile, the car stands high from the ground. Also, the window liner is surrounded with chrome, which highlights its dark tinted windows. A really attractive element of its side profile is the wheels. The SL features 19-inch aluminum machined alloys that look eye-catchy, while the S and SV get 17-inch wheels. Also, the roof-rails in the silver finish give it the SUVish look and rugged stance.

The Rogue is not too long a car, but still, it has quite a good cabin space on offer and better boot space as well. The Tiguan is the bulkiest in the segment, and this might be a reason for its lower fuel economy. The ground clearance of all the above crossovers is quite good at over 7-inches and can tackle many road undulations with ease. When comparing the curb weight, Honda comes out to be the lightest option in the competition. Major exterior highlights of the crossover include:
The 2019 Rogue is built on the Renault-Nissan CMF-CD platform, which is also being shared with a plethora of Renault cars. The car is quite robust, and the safety ratings by some reputed institutions are evidence of the same. The 2019 Rogue has been crash-tested by NHTSA where it received an overall rating of 4 stars out of 5, while the IIHS honored it with the ‘Top Safety Pick’ title. Moreover, the car is equipped with lots of active and passive safety features. For 2019 MY, Nissan Safety shield 360 is offered as standard, while ProPilot assist can be had with SL trim or as a separate package. Some of the standout safety features of the 2019 Nissan Rogue are:
The Rogue has a naturally aspirated motor, while the Tiguan is equipped with a turbo unit. It produces somewhat more power than the Rogue and is also quite faster. Also, the Rogue gets a CVT unit, while the Tiguan gets an 8-speed automatic transmission which is perfect for performance, while the CVT is better for fuel economy. Nissan offers quite a spacious cabin, otherwise, they are quite similar. Overall, the Tiguan is very elegant and looks modern, while the Rogue seems a little outdated.
The 2019 Honda CR-V offers more power, and it’s quite fast also. Both have CVT units, but the fuel economy delivered by the Rogue is maximum. Coming to the cabin space, the 2019 Rogue has a voluminous cabin as well as the trunk, while the CR-V lags behind in both departments. Coming from a Japanese brand, both the cars have great reliability on offer. All in all, the choice between the two remains with you and your preferences.
Performance-wise, the Mazda CX-5 is somewhat better than the Rogue. Both the cars have almost the same mpg figures which are quite appreciable, but due to the larger tank, Rogue has a greater driving range. The boot space offered by the Rogue is far better than the CX-5. However, from the outside, the CX-5 looks very elegant and eye-catching, whereas the Rogue fails to grab attention.
The 2019 Nissan Rogue comes out to be a better value for money package as compared to its rivals. The engine, however, is a little underpowered and feels noisy but delivers excellent fuel economy. Moreover, it comes packed with lots of tech features, which is quite appreciable at this price range. The car has plenty of cabin room as well as boot space, which is quite good for long weekend getaways. If you are searching for something like a family car with a better utility in the range of $25,000 to $30,000, then the Rogue fits in the conditions brilliantly.

This was the first time purchasing a Nissan and wished I had purchased one long ago. It is a fun road car and will try to take it on all my road trips. My daughter's car is a Roge Sport. We both needed another car and we both were so surprised we both got a Rogue in the same color!
