The 2019 Nissan Rogue is one of Nissan’s best selling models. While competing SUVs offer more power and versatility, the Rogue is focused on a quality interior, competitive price point, and great gas mileage. Let’s take a look at exactly why the 2019 Nissan Rogue should be a consideration if you’re looking for a SUV.
Focusing on Its Unique Strengths
The 2019 Rogue is far from a powerhouse. It offers a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 170 horsepower. You do have the option to go with the hybrid engine for an upgrade to 176 horsepower, but that’s only if you want the better mileage. There’s nothing impressive with the engine as the Rogue is focusing on what its strengths – utility.
So How Does It Drive?
It’s obvious that the acceleration feels lacking compared to other SUVs, but you probably expected that anyway. With that said, the handling, braking, and steering are fairly above average. What is surprising is the fact that the Rogue does offer very good off-road performance in the all wheel drive versions.
An Interior that Drivers Rave About
It’s the interior where the 2019 Nissan Rogue shines. Most buyers rave about just how comfortable the seats are, how roomy it is, and how smooth the drive is. This is all available in a lower price point compared to its competitors. What’s more, the Rogue offers more standard features compared to the competition.
There are plenty of cubbies and small storage spaces in the vehicle. The cargo space is exceptional, offering a lot more space than its competition. The quality of the interior is well built and organized. It really doesn’t feel like there’s anything missing with the interior features.
Great Standard Tech Features
What’s great about the 2019 Nissan Rogue is the standard tech features it comes with. You get a 7-inch touch screen, rear camera, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alerts. What’s great is that all of these features come standard across the various trims.
This means you’re saving a lot of money by not having to add all these features as you customize your vehicle. From here on, it’s all what kind of premium features you want for your vehicle. So if you can do without the extras, you’ll be completely fine with the entry level S trim.
All in all, 2019 Nissan Rogue offers a great and affordable compact SUV package. While it’s not a powerhouse, the interior and tech features provide everything you’d expect from a quality SUV. Another big plus is the fact that the hybrid upgrades are available with a small price bump. If utility is what you’re looking for, you’ll be happy with the Rogue.
