Nissan Rogue Sport | Family Review

[@tooncesdcat6216]

Let's be real, most buyers of this car ain't going to be car nuts. That's why this family review makes more sense because Evie's input represents the majority of the consumer segment.

[@UniversalWorldx]

I can't be the only one that actually high fives Micah through the display. Don't leave him hanging!

[@shopwithaaron]

Your daughter is nearly all grown up...and with car review chops!! Thanks Muzio's!

[@MicahMuzio]

It's such a joy to see her grow and contribute to our videos. Makes my heart explode.

[@dygardion9130]

Your family is insanely adorable Also I think the updates outside have made this car much better looking

[@harrismi7]

Nissan went all in on the "Sport" with the very sporty wheels on this car.

[@asiffarooqui6789]

Aww Micah and his family are so cute What a lovely lovely family 😊

[@haze1123]

Nissan is going to sell a TON of these. The Nissan CVT has a terrible reputation (I think because of the old Altima), but I haven't heard anything bad about the Rogue.

[@copterkid6759]

Just went on a little road trip in my mates one yesterday, it was a warm day and the fan seats were nice to keep cool. 👍🏼

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video as always Micah! Y’all are seriously one of the cutest families out there! 😸😻😻

[@TalismanPHX]

Its a shame that CVT is trash, because the Rouge Sport is an attractive vehicle. Thanks for the LBC travelogue, Micah. Such a cute kid too!

[@jerellebullock8792]

Facts Straight trash 🗑 that cvt. N thats why they are giving out settlement checks to nissan customers smh 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@cassiocm]

Couldn't agree more. Anemic engine and trashy CVT. Nissan need to step up the power train

[@JoeE.]

Nissan should have made this the Nissan Leaf. It's more attractive and ride is higher like a CUV, then couple it with AWD. This setup could have been a hit.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I think if people were informed that you cannot hammer on a CVT like a regular transmission, and if people were told to have the CVT trans fluid changed every 30 thousand miles, we would not see so many failures.

[@ofcbob6391]

I've had my 2020 Sport since new, drive conservatively, get 30 mpg, have 85K miles and no issues. Just change out the transm fluid every 30K miles.

[@robertporter1984]

There are Comments about CVT trash/Lawsuits yet he is Reviewing the 2020 Rogue Sport and its newer vehicle and is NOT part of any Nissan CVT lawsuits. That lawsuit is for 2013- 2016 some 2017s cars... this is the YEAR 2020. How Do i know? I had a 2016 Nissan & they sent me info related to owners that want to join the suit... lol ... Thanx for the Review man. The Stuff people post bout older Nissan cars that should have been Traded in by now.

Great video as always, I’m glad you and your family are doing this together. 👍

CVT goes boom.

[@claudiatawil9030]

Micah and his family are adorable family ♥️

[@pfield39]

I've had the UK built version, the Qashqai, for over 5 years, 1.6ltr diesel with 6 speed manual box. Performs reasonably, comfortable and nicely put together. Only problems have been electrical niggles and needed a replacement aircon condenser this year which cost lots, not good enough on a 20k miles car. Not driven the US version, nearly did at Alamo in Phoenix, but was offered a Dodge Charger instead, so no contest. Micah is correct, bit of a vanilla car.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I am curious about Diesel petrol in the UK. Is it more expensive than regular petrol. Because in the USA diesel is much more than regular petrol?

[@juanda1995]

Here in South America, and specially in my country Colombia is called the Qashquai, is quite popular and family-friendly; we considered it as our new car in december but ended up choosing the Ford Escape because is waay more spacious, powerful and more comfortable.

Nissan needs to up their game.

[@jrock8233]

They did with the 2021 rogue that’s coming out. Micah did a review on that one already

[@chippercorgi2247]

I also enjoy activating seat heaters on unsuspecting passengers. The first time I did this was to a friend who'd just had her first child. She panicked 'cause she thought she 'wet' the seat... once I explained that seat heaters were a thing, she turned to her husband and demanded their next car have this feature. P.S. I actually forgot my car had seat heaters (shameful, I know), and 'rediscovered' them when the mechanic left them on after an oil change... so I too have experienced the joys of surprise butt warmers.

[@KevinBryanLong]

Great and Honest review, I have the 2020 SV and love it♥️

[@monicawilson896]

Do you still love in 2022? Any mechanical issues or recalls. I’m asking for my mom. I want her in something reliable.

[@planet_next_to_mars2058]

Here in Australia they are called the Nissan Qashqai (cash kai) is how to prenounce it. Imported from the UK where they are manufactured. We have them our our car rental fleet here in Australia. I like them because the seats are fairly comfortable. This model shares it's chassis with the Renault Kadjar which is also available here in Australia. Cheers

[@spencerkooiman1542]

I think its a lot of vehicles in this class where they wander on the freeway. I drove my aunt's kia seltos and at over 70 mph and the handling seemed wobbly. I drive a 2016 jeep cherokee and I don't have that problem at over 80 mph

[@ryanfrisby7389]

[@shotgunz124]

Got my wife one she loves it and that’s all that matters If u have the cvt serviced at 25-30k like your supposed to do then u won’t have problems She had a older rogue it done good job They aren’t made to be sports cars It’s a cheap awd suv

[@stupid8911]

Y'all are just too damn cute...

[@igeekone]

13:00 I'd imagine the more powerful engine in the Rogue produces more power at the same engine RPM. So the bigger Rogue uses less power to get up to and maintain speed. The Sport's engine has to rev harder to do the same speed.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Rogue Sport weighs much less than regular Rouge so it works out to be a tossup.

[@isaacsworld9269]

I only watch to see your wifes smile! Love it.

[@whatever5922]

Your wife is a queen

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Lmao @cvt comments 🤣 82k miles on mine...I’ve only had Cvt serviced once @75k miles. Still drives the same as always. What y’all don’t realize is it’s the same Cvt as 2013 with second generation of D-Step (simulated gears) the 2019 + also has the same cvt as 2013 with third generation D-Step. They will last if maintained. Go look at Occckid123 300,000k + miles on his original Cvt. Also anything 2013 & 2014 had faulty programming. Any year after that I guarantee you failed about as often as any other brands transmission or cvt.

I rented one on 2 different occasions last year. I was not happy with either driving experience. One gave random gas cap loose warnings and the other had random tire air pressure warnings.

[@stevey500]

Until nissan provides at 180,000 mile warranty on the CVT, don't effing buy any of their vehicles with a CVT. Just don't. They might be super enjoyable and potentially very awesome, but that CVT can go at any moment.

[@whatever5922]

I wish their cvts were better because their new designs are incredible

[@dave3682]

@@whatever5922 Their newer cvts are much improved, we see fewer and fewer of them in the shop these days. Never going to beat an automatic in anything other than fuel economy, of course, but at least you don't have to worry about them shredding themselves at 60k miles anymore. There was a time when things like automatic transmissions and turbos were considered unreliable, nowadays the technology has been massaged, refined, and improved to the point where most folks no longer have any reservations about buying a turbocharged vehicle, never mind one with an automatic transmission.. The same is true for the CVT transmission, over time, they only improve, as with all mechanical technology.

[@whatever5922]

@@dave3682 you’re totally right! I’m glad they’re improving them

I'd buy this car for sure. Even the top trim level still seems base model though.

[@markhopkins459]

I had a rental Qashqai (what the Rogue is called everywhere else) in Italy, put a bunch of kilometers on it, and we liked it. It was comfortable, fun and easy to park. I’m sure the turbo-diesel and six-speed manual had a lot to do with how I liked it, not to mention the 40-plus US mpg I got while doing my best to drive like a Continental... but, alas, we don’t get diesels in the states. Love European driving!

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

No diesel or manual in the USA. Diesel vehicles as a whole are not sold in the USA. Diesel fuel is much more expensive, then regular petrol in the USA.

[@claudiatawil9030]

Loved your video thanks alot

[@keithbraddehmann320]

Another 40 horsepower would make this okay, but that CVT...ugh.

[@fastdevilqc806]

I agree and a least a regular automatic if no manual is offered.

[@keithbraddehmann320]

@@fastdevilqc806 Exactly. If Nissan is going to label this "Sport", please give it a proper transmission. My wife drives a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S and its 175 horsepower doesn't even pair well with a CVT. I miss my Altima 3.5 SE with a 5 speed manual from several years back...when Nissan actually cared about driving excitement.

[@johnsullivan5786]

[@Kingjay814]

Hey a review of a car that I own! I have the trim level below this (the SV trim). This thing rear passenger space is small imo, my Sentra felt like it had more space. I also keep the steering setting in sport because normal felt way to soft for me. Also I do really like the steering wheel (they should put that in the 370Z). This is a great car for just a basic means of transportation and kind of comfortable. I love my G8 GXP but manual transmissions and stop and go traffic are annoying. Even though I don't like CVTs like you said drive something long enough you kind of forget about it. All in all, it's not bad but not exceptional. Also I got mine super cheap because it was a 2019 model.

[@ofcbob6391]

SS, does the tranny have those imitation shift points, like so many of the latest CVT's?

[@1daful]

@@ofcbob6391 Why yes... Yes it does have "shift points" which make it feel like a traditional transmission, but with lots more gears.

Your CVT will die in no time. This is a perfect example why there are so many CVT failures. Hammering on them and no CVT fluid changes.

[@fastdevilqc806]

Sport but has a damn cvt . nothing sporty about a cvt! #nissanemployee

[@stevey500]

I do disagree... CVT transmissions can be incredible and spunky. Just because you can't feel it slammin through limiting sets of ratio'd gears doesn't mean it's not fun as hell to drive. I loved the attitude of my juke. That thing ripped through the canyon with very quick and nimble response and extremely consistent engine breaking is always cool too. Always being in the right gear with gobs of torque on demand is a brilliant thing. If F1 were allowed to CVT their drivetrains, they would (research it.) I will not vouch for the nissan CVT reliability, it's a scary gamble buying a nissan with a CVT, they have the absolute WORST backing of their products of all car companies and it needs to change.

34k? I think i would go with a Tucson instead, more power, space and pano roof. Also, whyyy don't they tint the rear windows on these even on the refresh? Evie's face as you floored it lmao.

[@MicahMuzio]

That's the challenge with smaller SUVs. Once you add options they start to overlap with lower-trim versions of larger, nicer SUVs.

[@ocnblu]

@@MicahMuzio the SV with upgrade package would be the one I'd get, still has things like heated seats/steering wheel, foglights, etc. Plus the smaller wheels should translate into a bit better ride and less expensive tire replacement. I hope the new version has the Rogue's new engine, should be rated around 35 MPG with it. Good looking vehicle now, new version is even sharper looking, imo.

Nissan should include a much watch with purchase how to drive a CVT equipped vehicle. I read all of the complaints on every Nissan review and they are always the same. You do not drive a CVT vehicle the same as you do a regular transmission vehicle, and that is the reason for all of these complaints. Makes you want to scream at people. Dam it educate yourselves before you complain.

[@elseptimosentido8004]

Nissan Rogué SPORT ❤️

[@KuangShengCheng]

Shameful! Did you turn on the ProPilot and set the cruise control to test this feature before claiming it's not working? Let me know if I were wrong.

[@MicahMuzio]

When active, ProPilot Assist works to keep the Rogue Sport in the center of its lane by controlling the steering system. ProPilot Assist is made for use on freeways and functions as a comfort feature to assist the driver. That system functions separately from the Nissan's Intelligent Lane Intervention, which alerts the driver if they've departed their lane and can apply the brakes to certain wheels to help pull the vehicle back into its lane. It's confusing because both systems help keep the vehicle in its lane but they use completely different approaches to achieve that goal (active steering versus differential braking). As a driver if you've used ProPilot Assist on the freeway and expect similar assistance in other situations, Intelligent Lane Intervention is going to disappoint. In my experience Intelligent Lane Intervention isn't up to the task of keeping a vehicle in its lane...as demonstrated in the video.

[@reneem6839]

This is the only review I've seen of yours. I own this car in the SL and I don't agree with your assessment of its mediocrity. My husband is a car guy, has owned BMW, Mercedes, etc. and he LOVES this car and prefers it to his S Class Mercedes, which he sold several months ago. But he just loves this car. I can spend an hour on the reasons why. So I think you are somewhat of a car snob, and I don't like how you condescend your wife in what comes off as a male/female dis on her sophistication in liking the car's pickup more than you do. Dude, I'm 62 and your attitude is even way out of date for someone MY age much less yours.

Too bad it uses a JATCO CVT.

[@acuras4ever]

Hey Micah, your family review series is great and very different than what other car reviewers on KZbin are doing, but here’s my 2 cents... our attention spans have gotten so bad with smart phones and it’s really hard to watch a whole 18 minute long video of a car as boring as the rogue.. I mean I watched the video because I like y’all not because I need to know anything about this car... if you want more viewers make your reviews shorter... this video would’ve been perfect if it ended after your wife drove it and gave her opinion about the driving experience... stay safe 😍
