This was a 2023 Rogue SV, non AWD. I drove it about 750 miles from NJ to MI in one day.
All in all, it was a decent drive.
Pros:
- Clean, well laid out interior with ample passenger and cargo space
- Well designed dashboard with high quality graphics
- Comfortable, well contoured front seats and lots of legroom in the back seat
- The 1.5 turbo engine was a bit sluggish off the line, but surprisingly peppy at speed. It felt notably quicker than a 1.5T Taos I test drove a while back. Engine noise was also well muted.
- Auto Stop/Start system was well implemented / non-intrusive - one of the best I've experienced.
Cons:
- steering seemed vague - not much on-center feel
- Android Auto was a bit buggy - my phone would randomly disconnect at times and I'd lose navigation
- some of the nanny features (lane assist/lane departure) are overly aggressive/annoying, but can be disabled
According to the on-board computer, I averaged around 32 MPG, most of it hwy driving at around 75-80 MPH.
Overall, it seemed like a well put together vehicle. I think the FWD SV trim stickers for around $30K, which sounds reasonable for what you get.
