Wow. Nissan has added new equipment to the Rouge for 2018. Really like it.

[@DenieceNikki]

I cannot stop watching you guys revews!! You guys are the best!!

[@CarConfections]

Thank ya!

[@greenoceansky]

I took my 2014 Rogue AWD with 79000 miles to NJ from OH and got the best fuel economy of 34.3 mpg. Insane!!! My Rogue normally gives me 30 some mpg.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

My second used SUV! Amazing video bro.

Hello I just got my 2017 nissan rogue..love it we have a 2015 ..so after a while I trade it my mazda 2012 was gonna get a conf but decided on The Rogue and do not regret it...my dog has more room and i am a happy driver..love the design and gizmos...our 2015 is the SL level and mine now is the midnight edition..very nice...

[@mrsc1742]

Great Review. I'm not a huge fan of the Rogue but must admit I think it is well worth the price tag and has loads of awesome standard features. I looked at a vehicle that was almost twice the cost of a Rogue and was surprised that navigation, around view camera, safety features etc. was an additional cost. I'm so glad I watched your video...Thanks!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you! :)

[@ranoeymaple9535]

Hi! I really love your videos and you're making SUV/Crossover shopping wayyy simpler for me! Are you guys going to review the Rogue Sport sometime soon?

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We will review one once a 2018 model arrives at our dealer. Glad to hear our videos are helpful for you! That's our goal!

[@Ann-ub4mf]

Very thorough review, Thank You. 🙂

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@Lita_213]

You guys did a great job!

[@CarConfections]

LitaL. Thanks! ☺️

[@jude526ify]

I love my 2018 SV Rogue. Midnight Pine.

[@TheMohawk102]

rented the rogue for 2 weeks and i loved it . but once i put 4 adults in it . WOW wish it came in 6 cylinders .

[@CarConfections]

We have another cool car from another new dealership coming up next, but until then enjoy the 2018 Rogue Review! And Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow) everyone :)

[@lookatmylawyerdawgplease]

Car Confections What cae is it?

[@nsdadanceacademy]

Also great camera skills :)

[@kevinbelton6130]

I am shopping for a vehicle now and I really enjoyed the test drive. Thanks to your video I like the vehicle more and will probably purchase one. Thanks for what you do. You gave a lot of information in short period of time.

[@CarConfections]

Glad we could help 😁

[@tatum635]

just got me a 2018 rogue and i love it, i dont really care for the rounder front the new ones have.

[@jonnysullivan4762]

The AWD isn’t on all the time only on hard turns or bad road conditions. So it really doesn’t effect fuel economy. I have a 16 sv and get 31-32 mpg

[@CRVgarage]

The car in context has the premium pkg - led headlights & panoramic roof. Thank you Nissan for sticking with the beautiful 18" wheels.

[@jennaduvall2060]

It’s about time Nissan finally updated the infotainment system. That older one was so dated

[@asiffarooqui6789]

Good honest review!

[@CarConfections]

+Asif Farooqui Thanks!

[@asiffarooqui6789]

Car Confections Aww you're welcome, from the UK. x

[@sharonodonnell6681]

Please include in your reviews if the visors extend or pull out to provide more shade when the sun hits those certain spots and the width of the second row. I'm particularly interested if three average-sized adults or two adults and a baby seat would be a comfortable ride.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you for the suggestions!

[@jonnysullivan4762]

You forgot the other little storage on the console. There’s two buttons. One for the big storage and also a small one

[@kevinchan4951]

is it worth to get the upgrade from the S to the SV ? Ive noticed that the alloy wheels, heated front mirrors and rear window defroster, and auto-matic front head lights,heated seats, auto start on the SV. i feel those features arent that much different.

[@mrs.pittman5422]

Me too I love it

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Still good used first Nissan Rogue I can buy.

[@boydguie8129]

Is it a GDI. Engine??? If so what year did they come out ??

[@martinarteaga1720]

Great review! Does it have a spare tire?

[@CarConfections]

+Martin Arteaga Yes, unless you have the third row seats. Those models come with run flat tires and no spare tire. Hope this helps!

[@tahminadina5505]

My dad has a 2017 version of that car

[@nath.9610]

So one the screen between the speed can u put the speed your going on there like some other models do?

[@Kmclemore]

Nathalia Da yes

[@waynewilliams1487]

All that tech and still no tsr traffic dign recognition found in the crv. Maybe if they made the car more slippery like he murano it might be less sluggish and look less like its about to deliver a bdby. Put the turbo un from the juke and then you will have competition for vtect turbo powered crv. Love he 360camera system! Review the murano.

[@CarConfections]

We already have reviewed the Murano so you should be able to find it on our channel. Thank for watching!

[@tazwarhossain5283]

Hi Compared to the crv, which interior do u think feels much more premium in terms of material quality and touch points,which feels better?

[@CarConfections]

Both are very nice crossovers, and in terms of quality both are really nice. Personally, I prefer the CR-V, but both offer soft touch plastic or leather stitching over most of the cabin which is definitely class-leading. Can't really go wrong with either! Hope that helps!

[@davoncci]

@@CarConfections Which has a better sound system?

[@gabrielleperez8513]

Trying to decide if I want to get the S or the SV Is the push start really worth it?

[@OffBeatMikeD]

I think it’s worth it, it’s my favorite feature…

[@nsdadanceacademy]

FIRST VIEW AND COMMENT!!and like……!!

[@GoodDesign0]

👍👍

[@tasbar7743]

Motion power lift gate???

[@robertshaw7132]

I really enjoyed your review of The Rouge. I would have liked you to have test driven it for a little while. I hear that the Rogue has a weak engine-- that it doesn't have very much power for passing. I would have liked your opinion on that.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Test drives/driving impressions are something we are looking into doing in the near future!

[@jaedevrick6621]

I've heard and read the same thing and it worries me cause I have a Nissan Altima now! its the bottom model nothing special and it is more hosepower than the rouge! so now im thinking about the murano,

[@robertshaw7132]

Jae Montage I think the Murano would also be a good choice. I really do like the Rogue. it is very comfortable and I like the interior very much. my wife has an 08 Altima. that is the one we are thinking of replacing. most of the SUVs in this class aren't going to have very much power either. you could try the Subaru Forester with the 2.0 Turbo or the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with the 2.0 Turbo. or the regular Santa Fe might come with a 6 cylinder. the Toyota RAV4 is rated very highly for reliability but I think it doesn't look very good. the one SUV that consistently seems to get good reviews is the Honda CR-V. Consumer Reports is a good source for information. I'm in no hurry to buy so I haven't test-driven any of them yet. but the Rogue will probably be the first one I test drive so I can see what I think of that engine. I also want to test-drive the Santa Fe Sport and the CR-V. good luck in your search.

[@lilpeppa117G]

Robert Shaw it's enough it's a very smooth band it's not a sporty suv like. Escape by any means

[@jaedevrick6621]

ghd bfb In my opinion I was not looking for sporty I just wish the rouge acceleration was not so weak it was not very good on the highway when keeping up with traffic

[@Briguy1027]

Does the SV trim have the automatic braking as an option or is only the SL trim for 2018?

[@chuckhunt3324]

For 2018 the whole line up has automatic braking

[@Briguy1027]

That is good to know. Does that mean all Rogues or all Nissans in general?

[@chuckhunt3324]

Just seven models for 2018: Altima, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, Rogue, and Rogue Sport.

[@jude526ify]

My SV has leather steering column

[@feedyourfaith7392]

I love my 2018 I don’t noticed the speed so it doesn’t matter to me. But I did get a speeding ticket 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@tc2002able]

Do u know the difference between the Rogue Sport then just a Rogue that has a sport button option? Isn't it the same thing?

[@CarConfections]

Hi Tasha! The Rogue Sport is actually a totally different vehicle. It is a subcompact crossover, so it is substantially smaller and less expensive than the regular Rogue. It really should have been given a different name to avoid such confusion!

[@tc2002able]

Car Confections ohh ok I see and yes it should of been given a different name lol

[@ikrvd]

I think this is the X-trail in PH🇵🇭. I'm not sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@xensbeast5618]

Rhex Kimmer Davide yup it is like the rogue sport is named qashqai in Canada and rogue sport is only in U.S.A

[@zyjianklein5658]

Yeah. Parehas sila I got mine.

[@Ryasis12345]

The whole reason why I watched this video was to see the weird looking rear center console!

[@buckshot6481]

This would be so much better with a real six speed auto. Jatco = trouble.

[@DavidStanleymusic]

nissan should have the Vc turbo engine it the rogue then they will have the right recipe this is compelling bit not quite the right mix

[@MrJackato]

Does it have a compass?

[@CarConfections]

Gato Sierra Not in the mirror, if that's what you are referring to

[@MrJackato]

Car Confections So does not have any at all?

[@CarConfections]

You could still see a compass in the navigation

[@cliby25]

Car Confections you can set it in the middle display

[@beyankamara8720]

I have my 2016 rogue, and I Love it so much. I don't even need an upgrade yet cause it's still fresh only 25000 miles

[@jonathanjackson9208]

I'm truly disappointed that Nissan dropped the 3rd row for 2018.

[@CarConfections]

Jonathan Jackson It is still available, we just failed to mention it accidentally. Sorry about any confusion!

[@jonathanjackson9208]

Car Confections, actually Nissan isn't showing any 3rd row option on the website. So I believe they did discontinue it!

[@trevordoran2017]

I know it is a late response but the 3rd row is most definitely deleted in the 2018 Rogue.

[@paulinegouzang2880]

The tdjake

[@jefferyjin5551]

Third row is pretty useless most of the time.

[@alonefire3380]

Do you guys review Kias?

[@CarConfections]

Not yet, but we promise it's on the agenda!

[@Foster10ful]

I just bought the Nissan Rogue and I don’t really likes how it driver on the hwy it’s to slow no power I wish I had gotten the murano

[@jaedevrick6621]

Foster10ful right!!! I hope Nissan change this for the 2019 model!!

[@CarlosHernandez-nh8no]

Sport mode??

[@shellyplatt4048]

Get something else. I have the SL AWD with platinum package. $35k Propilot is all hype. Doesn’t work on most roads. Not at all on roads where lines are ridged. Not at all on 5 mile Annapolis Bay Bridge. Waste of money.

[@traci5905]

Gas tank is on the passenger side.

[@jaedevrick6621]

Traci D'Angelo that’s one of the things I hate! My Altima is on the driver side

[@TodayWithDustin]

Great review! Btw the S doesn’t have that key fob. It has a switchblade that uses a key. I can’t believe they’re adding all these safety features that not everyone wants. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ The Rouge is a great looking vehicle but Nissan has ruined it.

[@CarConfections]

Hey Dustin! Thanks for catching that!

[@TodayWithDustin]

Car Confections No problem!

[@CarConfections]

👍 Have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow!

[@TodayWithDustin]

Car Confections You guys as well!!

[@vlvlvlvl330]

rogue+uncomfortable seats+vibrations from CVT= bull shit
