We were so excited when we bought this great looking

We were so excited when we bought this great looking Rogue, we thought we would save money on gas mileage being a Hybrid. What a disappointment, we spent a lot of money on this vehicle and within a year of purchasing the transmission is shot. It is a nightmare in stop and go traffic, bucking dangerously and the same starting and trying to stop. I call it my pig with lipstick. What was Nissan thinking...make money off of consumers?

Hybrid model is not reliable

Accelerating is not the best it hesitates from the beginning I bought it new 2017. Not great in back to back traffic, it shuts down overheats the hybrid battery? let it cool off for an hour and then it's up and running again. Service department does not find the issue? stuck until I can trade it in and it is now 2024 having a hard time doing so.

Bucking is getting bad

I loved the way the car rode until it started "bucking" when stuck in traffic or when starting off from a dead stop. Not trans is shot at 87,000 miles! Thats crazy...

Great car all around

It is rare to find a nice awd hybrid. This car is great in all weather and all terrain and is better for the environment than most alternatives.

Not fun average SUV with failed hybrid technology

We have decided based on looks and interior comfort (in comparison with Toyota RAV Hybrid) to give Nissan Rouge Hybrid a shot. Rouge is a second hybrid technology attempt by Nissan. They had Altima Hybrid model few years back - which was according to many car experts a complete failure. After owning this SUV for 2 years - I am sad to report that 2017 Nissan Rogue Hybrid SL AWD is also complete failure when if comes to performance. 2.0 4 cylinder engine is too weak for this SUV and additional electric motor is not providing sufficient support, so you constantly feel under-powered. Main point of getting a hybrid would be gas savings, but even in this department numbers are very disappointing. Average gas mileage since new (32,000 miles) 25 MPG !!! You can reach 30 miles per gallon only on absolute flat terrain, hypermiling... This is not a cheap vehicle. Do not waste your money - look somewhere else. I test drove Honda CRV AWD with 1.5 L turbo engine at the time and I regret not buying it. According to all review this SUV (less expensive with better reliability) is getting much better gas mileage and is actually fun to drive.

Reliable enough

It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! I recommend it to the hybrid lovers . I had 37 mpg gas mileage! Above average and I drive back and forth to work 70 miles a day

Most reliable car I have owned

They need to improve hybrid system. It has plenty of legroom in the front and back. This car met all of my needs.

Good mileage!

This SUV gets 45 miles per gallon and I am saving money! I love that I get a bigger car with better gas mileage.
