2020 Nissan Rogue Sport Review

from the Cars.com expert editorial team

By Fred Meier

Competes with: Chevrolet Trax, Ford EcoSport, Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, Jeep Renegade, Subaru Crosstrek

Looks like: The 2019 Rogue Sport with front and rear tweaks to make it more distinct

Drivetrain: 141-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission; front- or all-wheel drive

Hits dealerships: Fall

Nissan is giving the Rogue Sport — its entry in the hot subcompact SUV market — a light freshening for 2020 with styling tweaks that separate it a little more from the similarly styled Rogue compact SUV, as well as expanded availability of its best safety technology.

The 2020 will be on sale in the fall with pricing still to be announced, and it will continue to be offered in S, SV and SL trim levels. The features for each trim level and the options packages also have been revised.

Exterior

The most visible change is a new front end that is a bit more differentiated from its bigger sibling, the Rogue SUV. Changes include a new hood, a revised Nissan “V-Motion” grille, a more aggressive bumper and signature LED daytime running lights; in the rear, there’s a new taillight design. A new 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design is being offered, and the paint palette gets two new metallic colors, Nitro Lime and Monarch Orange.

Interior

Safety

The current offering on the SV and SL trim levels of Nissan’s full-featured Safety Shield 360 package of safety and driver-assistance technology is expanded for 2020 to make it available on the base S trim level. The package includes a front collision system with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.

Still optional for 2020 is Nissan’s ProPilot Assist system that assists drivers with acceleration, steering and braking to navigate traffic and stay in their lane under certain conditions, primarily during single-lane highway driving.

Best SUV I've owned

by Tammy from Boscawen on January 9, 2020

I absolutely love the space in my new Rogue. I also love the standard equipment that comes with it. The all wheel drive, the heated seats, and the little cubby in the trunk area for groceries. Read full review

Warranty FAQs

What is a Bumper-to-Bumper warranty?

Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties.

What is a Powertrain warranty?

Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

What is included in Roadside Assistance?

Some automakers include roadside assistance with their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties, while others have separate policies. These programs cover anything from flat-tire changes and locksmith services to jump-starts and towing. Few reimburse incidental costs like motel rooms (if you have to wait for repairs).

What other services could be included in a warranty?

Some automakers include free scheduled maintenance for items such as oil changes, air filters and tire rotations. Some include consumables including brake pads and windshield wipers; others do not. They are typically for the first couple of years of ownership of a new car.

What does CPO mean?

A certified pre-owned or CPO car has been inspected to meet minimum quality standards and typically includes some type of warranty. While dealers and third parties certify cars, the gold standard is an automaker-certified vehicle that provides a factory-backed warranty, often extending the original coverage. Vehicles must be in excellent condition and have low miles and wear to be certified, which is why off-lease vehicles feed many CPO programs.
