2026 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek

[Blizzard]

I don't really get the appeal of this car & this trim especially. Very blah. There's a ton of other options I'd rather have over this, like a CR-V Hybrid or RAV4. I guess one of the main selling points is that it's cheaper than most of its rivals and probably has better financing rates too.

The last-generation Rogue was really popular but this one was less so, hard to believe it's 5 years old already because I don't see that many.

I blame the engine. The base model offered the atmo four for a bit longer in Canada, and that one sold. It's much nicer inside than the RAV4, and looks more premium than the CR-V. The top trim has Infiniti vibes. The engine is really killing it.

I guess I'm just not a Nissan person, or Infiniti person for that matter. If I was shopping in the premium category Infiniti is the last brand I'd check out after Acura, Lexus, Genesis, Volvo, etc... The Q60 coupe looks cool in a retro kind of way but otherwise there's nothing there that catches my attention.

I'm surprised you find the Rogue looks more premium than the CR-V. We test drove a CR-V Touring last summer and I thought it was REALLY nice inside, I was not expecting it to be so nice. It was 98% as nice as my in-laws' 2022 RDX.

The Outlander is definitely way more popular. Although when I researched the PHEV version briefly, I remember being disappointed with the poor fuel economy once the battery is empty, around 9-10 L/100km. With that type of fuel economy, not sure you'd ever save money over a regular gas version. Whenever I see a PHEV model I think that the person just didn't want to wait for a RAV4 PHEV.
