Beautiful ride

This vehicle is so smooth and drives like a charm. This car was the best choice out of all it’s competitors. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Not pleased with this car

I traded in my 2 year old Jeep for a new 2019 Rogue Sport. Everything I’ve read made this vehicle seem like the perfect new SUV for me. Bought during the summer & didn’t have any issues until now that the weather has changed my inside windows keep getting a hazy film inside & the defrost or heater doesn’t even defrost them. I have to literally have a cloth in my vehicle to wipe my windows down every morning & when driving in the evening just to see out my windows. I’ve never owned a vehicle that this has happened in. Not sure what is causing this or what to do. I’m afraid I’m going to get in an accident as the weather will just continue to get colder & I’m afraid to drive my car anymore but of course I have to to get to work. Anyone else have this issue or any suggestions would be helpful. I even cleaned my windows with some defogger that was recommended & this didn’t help.

Easy to drive and fully customizable

The Rogue Sport has surpassed all of my expectations. I have the SL trim and there is very little that is not in this vehicle. Nissan has changed things up. The car is very customizable from light sensitivity for the auto headlights to even picking how the doors unlock. This is an easy, fun and extremely quiet vehicle to drive. It is highly responsive and has been doing better than the predicted mileage. The 2019 Rogue Sport has put to shame every other previous vehicle I have had.

Lacks basic features and snow tires hard to get

Known as Qashqia, purchased the high end SLmodel. Going up hills, it gasps for air. Brakes are mushy. No automatic rear hatch. No power passenger-side front seat. Navigation system doesn’t recognize addresses (thank goodness for googles maps on my iPhone!). Snow tires in P225/45R19 size are all special orders. Unimpressed and underwhelmed.

I am a consistent, satisfied Tom Peacock Nissan cu

I was not aware of the Rogue Sport. It was pointed out to me by the salesman. It fit my needs better than what I came in looking for.

First time owner of Nissan

Looks great, performs well. Smaller than cars we have owned in the past but still is roomy , comfortable, and more economical that what we have previously owned.

What did I do ??

I just Bought this Car. I mean today just drove it out of the show room. What did I do ??? I traded in my HONDA CVR. Now I have this UPPDATED CAR that i'm really Not comfortable Driving. Its too small I feel cramped in the front seat ,there's LITTLE or NO room in the CARGO area The steering feels not so tight . I wish they offered CARS with KEYS, When you say CARGO make it a cargo back. I wish they offered a RETURN policy.. I'm sick over my lack at looking at this car MUCH more closely. BUYER be ware .. ... PS im not an old person nor a large person 5'1" . so when I say cramped it means no elbow room oh and NO ARM rests !! I should've gone to HONDA..

SUV feel in a small package.

I acquired the Rogue Sport by trading in my Nissan Kicks as I felt the Sport gave me the feel of being in a SUV as opposed to the Kicks, which felt more like being in a car even though it's considered a crossover (see my separate review under the 2019 Kicks as to what I didn't like about it, even though it was a decent vehicle). Again I'm mainly comparing the Sport to the previous vehicle I owned (the Kicks) because it met my need to have a more refined interior, even though other SUVs in its class may have even more elaborate interiors the Sport looked and felt pretty posh, from the front and rear seats being more comfortable to a more refined dashboard and console than my previous Kicks. Despite being a SUV, the Sport's interior felt like it was hugging me or surrounding me but not in an uncomfortable, claustrophobic way, but rather just a really nice fit for me and my wife at 5'6" and 5'4' respectively. I certainly do not recommend it for people closer to 6 ft., otherwise go to the full-size Rogue. The ride of the Sport seemed a little softer and quieter as well. I do hear the engine noise but it's not as noisy as these other reviews make it sound like, and I do prefer to hear little engine rev as I'm driving along. I also like the fact it has rear climate controls so heat and AC can be blown to the passengers in the back through the rear vents in the back of the center console, which again my Kicks didn't have. Exterior wise I think the thinner slit of a grille up front is more attractive and aggressive looking than the new 2020 Rogue Sport which they enlarged the black area of the grille slightly to look more like the front of traditional Nissan vehicles. But yet overall the Rogue Sport has a subtle style and blends in more than standing out compared to the Kicks, whose exterior had more of an edge to it. So if you want to be noticed, drive a Kicks, if you want to blend in, drive a Rogue Sport. My SV has the 17-inch alloy wheels as opposed to the 19-inch premium wheels the higher trims (SL) have, because I heard the larger wheel actually provides less rubber and therefore a stiffer ride. I've only had the Rogue Sport for a few days and may provide a long-term update to this review after a few weeks, months, or even years, but for the time being it has certainly met my expectations and fulfilled the shortcomings my Kicks had which is the reason I decided to trade it in after owning the Kicks only a few short months. The only thing I probably wish I had on my Sport was the remote start which my Kicks had, but I'll take the AWD in lieu of the remote start, which I never really used. Costs a little more than the Kicks but unlike other reviews, including professional ones which say the Sport is not worth the added cost over the Kicks if you're looking for value, I disagree and I think the Rogue Sport is worth the added cost if you want more of an SUV feel than the feel of a raised car that the Kicks provided, which I think is basically a Nissan Versa Note with a facelift.

The price of car was within my budget.

I love my car. This is the second Rogue I've owned. I like the way it drives and overall comfort. I like the technology that comes with vehicle.
