Review and specifications
2019 Nissan Rogue Sport
Measuring a foot shorter than the familiar Rogue, the new Rogue Sport gives Nissan a smaller SUV to bridge the gap between the Juke and Rogue. All trims use the same pleasant, though not overly-powerful, 141-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. The Sport handles responsively and rides in a civilized manner, with cabin noise kept to reasonable levels. Connectivity features include the available NissanConnect navigation/app system with a 7.0-inch color touch screen and Siri Eyes Free. Plus, the Sport offers a 360-degree view camera, which is helpful for negotiating tight parking spaces. New for the 2018.5 model is that automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning are standard. These systems are only optional on earlier 2018 models. Nissan's Rear Door Alert system is now standard on all 2019 trim levels. An update to the 2019 audio system added standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 2022 was the Rogue Sport's final year.

Brand context
About Nissan
Nissan’s varied lineup of SUVs, pickup trucks, and EVs usually perform well in our road tests, but their Overall Scores suffer because of up-and-down reliability and average to below-average owner satisfaction. Inconsistent quality across the brand means some Nissans are a better choice than others. Many of its gasoline vehicles use small turbocharged engines and continuously variable transmissions to give owners both competitive fuel economy and sporty performance. Most new Nissans come standard with a full suite of active safety and driver assist systems. It’s also one of the few remaining brands that sells a sub-compact sedan, the Versa. The compact Sentra, a mainstay within Nissan’s lineup, earned a high score in our road test and is recommended. Nissan was an early EV trailblazer with the Leaf hatchback, and now sells larger five-passenger EV SUVs. Used Nissans have average reliability according to our surveys.
