2020 Nissan Rogue review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Nissan Rogue?

The five-seat Nissan Rogue is a compact SUV with a standard 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available, and competitors include the Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4. Nissan also sells the smaller Rogue Sport SUV, which is covered separately in the Cars.com Research section.

What’s New on the 2020 Nissan Rogue?

There are no significant changes.

What Features in the 2020 Nissan Rogue Are Most Important?

Nissan packs a lot of standard safety and convenience features in the Rogue, its most popular model. With automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and other driver aids standard, you don’t have to buy a more expensive trim level to get desirable safety features. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is also standard.

2020 Nissan Rogue vs. 2020 Toyota RAV4: How Do They Compare?

The Rogue is one of the older designs in its category, but it is not without virtues. It offers a host of standard safety features and a roomy interior. Its handling, powertrain and interior quality, however, take a backseat to competitors. The RAV4 was redesigned last year, and it has a higher-quality interior and a strong, smooth powertrain. The redesign included a suite of safety features rivaling those in the Rogue.

Should I Buy the 2020 Nissan Rogue?

The Rogue is one of the industry’s top-selling models, so it obviously hits the right notes with many buyers. Our editors, though, rate the Rogue as noisier, slower and less enjoyable to drive than other compact SUVs. There’s some good stuff here, but check out the competition before deciding.

Nice crossover

October 24, 2023

By Cathy from Burbank , IL

Owns this car

I just picked up a 2020 Rogue basic model with AWD, they sure have changed since my last one, in a good way. I’ve had a 2010 and a 2012 SL models. That alone says something having owned 3 now. Great crossover, decent in the snow, I’ve only had AWD models really good on gas! Very dependable!

Great looking SUV w/comfort

June 12, 2023

By Fourbufs from Fairfax, VA

I'd been looking at SUV's and kept coming back to the Rogue. When I found this cobalt blue one, I knew it was meant for me. I love the safety features, especially the blind spot and the automatic trunk lift. The keyless entry takes getting used to when you've used keys for over 50 years, but I'm liking it. It rides very well. I don't understand Consumer Reports report on this where it got a 3 out of 5 stars from people who had bought the 2020 car. So far, I'm loving the smooth ride and the acoustics as well. No complaints so far.
