2015 Nissan Rogue SUV Review a bit more conservative and extra elegant

The primary thing you'll see with this current generation of Nissan Rogue is the astonishing styling. Gone are the wild grille treatments, modified by something a lot more conservative and somewhat more trendy. The front and rear of the crossover are both more fantastic and modern, and the overall look is one that feels less economical. The interior is excellent organized and finished in trendy, higher-quality materials.

Certainly, the Rogue will be interesting if you're interested in comfort and available space. Interior surfaces are manufactured from good quality materials that look and feel particularly upscale, in particular on upper trim levels. And as a bit of a rarity in the compact crossover segment, there's optional seating for seven. The available third row is small, but overall, storage capacity is high. There are various cargo configurations, and with both rear rows folded down, the Rogue matches class leaders with 70 cubic feet of cargo space.

The 2015 Rogue is only obtainable with one engine: a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. That powerplant, in turn, only includes one transmission: a continuously variable automatic. Fuel economy stands at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 33 mpg on the highway for the front-wheel-drive base model or 25 mpg city/32 mpg hwy with all-wheel drive.

One of the things that was a little bit disappointing, however, was the driving range. With a mini gas tank, the Rogue is barely best for about 300 miles at a time. On a long road trip this results in being a real problem, as taking pleasure in your time on the road is really important.
