Performance: | 6.9 |
The 2017 Nissan Rogue delivers a performance level that's typical of most in this class: Handling is smooth and carlike, and there's enough power for it to fare well as a daily driver. Few drivers will grumble about the Rogue's overall performance, though shoppers looking for a lively ride may find issue with a powertrain that can be somewhat noisy and sheepish.
The 2017 Rogue comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission, which operates similarly to an automatic. Flooring the pedal won't result in break-neck acceleration, but reviewers say the Rogue delivers enough power for most scenarios you'll encounter along your daily drive. It will, however, result in loud droning sounds from the transmission. It has excellent fuel economy in comparison to most compact SUVs and 3-row SUVs (excluding hybrids). With front-wheel drive, the Rogue gets 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. Both fuel economy ratings drop by 1 mpg with all-wheel drive.
Whether you are maneuvering through a packed parking lot or a twisty country road, reviewers say the Rogue's steering is easy and on-point. That doesn't mean you can push it hard through the corners as if it were a sports car. Instead, the Rogue's steering and suspension is set to provide a comfortable, composed ride, which it does well.
