That’s something some of the competition does offer on higher trims. The only seating issue I have is that Nissan does not offer ventilated seats in the Rogue. Even my large ape-like booty was supremely comfortable, front and rear. Truly, the cushion technology on these seats is pretty good.
Other than the engine, it’s all about that interior.Įven the base and SV trims have nice looking interiors however, the Platinum gives you front and rear Zero Gravity seats that are heated. One more thing: you can get a base model Rogue with front-wheel drive and get about three MPG better mileage, which is impressive. The Rogue Sport (which isn’t all that sporty) would benefit from this powertrain as well. There still is a tad bit of turbo and transmission lag, but it’s better than many competitors. This pairs well with the turbo, and power is always available at just about any speed. This continuously variable transmission has a 17 percent higher gear ratio spread and reduced the internal friction by 32-percent. The 2022 Nissan Rogue not only benefits from that new mill, but it sees an updated Xtronic CVT. According to the EPA, the combined mileage on the AWD Rogue is 31 mpg, which is best in class. So, it’s like an economy powertrain with some punch when you need it, at least on paper. That means that it will use little energy to lug down the highway, but the burn will jump, giving you power when needed.
The compression ratio can jump from 8:1 all the way to 14:1, which is almost turbodiesel territory. New power makes the 2022 Nissan Rogue one of the “best in class” Unfortunately, it wasn’t as sporty as it looked, but the engine felt promising. It was one of the earlier vehicles I sampled with the VC-Turbo powertrain, and it moved well. Still, having a better powertrain crossed my mind several times.įast forward to about a year ago when I played with an Infiniti QX55. It’s overall driving character was mild at best, but it was never advertised as a sports car. It was comfortable, almost luxurious and handled quite well. When the all-new Nissan Rogue launched in 2020, I felt it was an excellent, if anemic crossover thanks to its old engine. Yes, I think this new powertrain makes the 2022 Nissan Rogue one of the best in its class, but with a caveat.
