When the Nissan Rogue Sport SL AWD arrived in my driveway, I knew that I was in for a different Road Trip! This is why:
- The New Color: Monarch Orange
- The sleek, shorter body
- Front grill updates
- Streamlined comfort packaged in a more compact, efficient body line
Our drive to Mayflower Grace SPA in Connecticut wasn’t only pleasant but also comfortable and all the safety features packed in the Nissan Rogue helped us enjoy our beautiful Sunday drive, much needed change of scenery for me, since I had just gotten off of a plane to join the Nissan Group in Connecticut!
Beautiful roads, gorgeous mountain scenery, upscale neighborhoods, what’s not to like about it?
We stopped at the famous Dottie’s Diner, house of the most famous donuts in the area!
Such a fun ride!
A gorgeous property welcomed us to embrace luxury and comfort while learning all about the New Rogue Sport.
The Rogue Sport is the US version of the award-winning Qashqai (pronounced Cash-Kai) crossover — Nissan’s hottest selling model in Europe, the Rogue Sport is the answer to the millennial search for: sporty, city driven consumer, looking for comfort, space and a reliable vehicle packed with style and safety features, yet offering a shorter body, which gives the modern parking needs and city driving that extra advantage, without needing to compromise!
Here are some my favorites:
- Leather interior
- New front trim
- Two new colors
- The Rogue sport is also be equipped with Nissan’s connected services, surround view camera system, and intelligent cruise control.
- Power for the Rogue Sport comes from a 2.0 liter, 141 horsepower inline-four-cylinder engine
MSRP: $27,420
MPG: 24 city / 30 highway
Horsepower: 141 hp @ 6,000 rpm
Engine: 2.0 L 4-cylinder
Wheel size: 19″ diameter, 7″ width
We were able to get an average of 31 miles on the highway, which really surprised me!
We attended a vehicle presentation and a walk through captured on my Facebook Live #TrendyChat:
Nissan Rogue Walk Through
Loved being able to compare the Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport side by side:
Here is what you should consider:
- The vehicle works great for city drivers because of traffic and the nature of driving in the city, but when a short response or immediate power was needed, I found the engine could use some more power, to give a better response.
- My son is 6’5”, the shortened body which extended from the front, all the way to the back, reduced the space inside the vehicle, so his head hit the ceiling in the front passenger seat.
If you’re looking for a great ride and you live in the city, are starting a family or if you are an empty nester and style matters, while offering comfort to your soon to grow bundle, this vehicle will give you the sweetest ride this summer!!
I know the Nissan Rogue Sport will not leave you looking in the mirror, wishing you were driving the car behind you!!!
Can’t wait to hear what you think about it! As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!!
I have always loved the new design on the more recent Nissan Rogue’s. Brands have really stepped their game up when it comes to the interiors and technology! Also, the gas mileage is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
What a cool car! Most I love in a car are the amazing features and it’s uniqueness design!
The Nissan Rogue Sport SL AWD is indeed something I would love to own. I love the price and the style. It has great gas mileage for being a sports car. Thanks for sharing a great review.
Wow! I love that bright and cheerful orange shade of the car. I’ve never owned an SUV as all my cars are sedans. I’d like to give that a twirl.
The Nissan Rogue Sport looks not only sporty and sleek but seems to be a high performance car. Love It! Great review!
Looks a good car and I love the color too you had a great review and I’m sure my hubby would love this too. He’s planning to buy a new car
Ooo that place looks beautiful. Hot car, cold ice cream, sounds like you had an amazing time. Love that color!
My previous car was a Nissan Rogue and I loved it!! If I hadn’t needed more room I probably would have kept it or gotten another one!!
Honestly I have not much idea about cars. But I love that it is so big and the color (just my taste) is amazing. I´m going to buy a new car next year and i will definitely consider the nissan
This looks like an awesome car!!! I wish it was a bit bigger.
The Nissan Rogue has been on my radar for a few months now. In December, I was concerned that we were going to have to replace our 12 year old SUV. Thankfully at the moment and our current situation, I was relieved that my truck only needed a new sensor and spark plugs.
I love the Orange Color and it would be at the top of my list because it’s different. I am like you I like having power when I need it. Hopefully, they will improve it.
I always thought the Rogues were a cute crossover. And, although Im not a huge fan of orange, I really like the color on the one you have! Xx- Doran @HauteBeautyGuide
That was a lovely detailed review. I totally love the color of this Nissan Car!
Awesome cars!!! The color is great too!!! I really like it ^^
That seems good. I’ll keep that on my note. But before then, I’ll have to balance my finance 1st 😀
I love that orange burnt color on the Nissan Rogue Sports! They look like so much fun to drive and I love the fuel economy on it.
Love that color! The interior cabin looks really nice as well. I’ve never actually driven a Nissan, but two friends of mine have had several of them and love them.
Wow, cool! Nisan has awesome features to check out..Sound like it will be a great road trip in this car.
I love unusual colours on cars. It makes me feel safer since they stand out on the road and you’re impossible to be overlooked. The interior is also extremely pretty, what’s not to like? =D
wow now that sounds like a luxury <3 I love how Nissan always makes new inventions <3 I would love to drive this one day
This sounds like a lovely car especially for road trips! It’s reliable, spacious and has all the features that you need in a great car! Love the design too. It’s really nice that you shared your experience with us. I appreciate it very much.
Wow I am surprised it is 4 cylinders. I think my oldest son’s Nissan Altima is a 4-cylinder too, but it’s really roomy and nice. It has a lot of get up and go too, so I would consider the Rogue Sport, definitely!
Great pictures! I’m a die hard Honda fan so I don’t know very much about Nissan, but I enjoyed reading this post and learning more. I love the new orange color of the Nissan Rogue Sport SL, and the interior looks very modern and comfortable.
This car is really well priced and looks gorgeous! I am in love with the orange color too.
It does look amazing. inside and outside. I have always heard really positive things about nissan cars
The Rogue Sport is a nice looking vehicle! I wouldn’t mind driving around town in one of those. I like the fuel economy too. I don’t want to spend extra money on gas. 😉
This car is pretty! I have been hearing great things about the Rogue, and I want to check it out for myself! Not only is the design great, but also the inside– and that gas mileage?!!!
Sounds like a great drive. We have an old truck from Nissan. I love the drive and with regular maintenance and checkups, up until now it’s in great condition.
Love the look of the Rogue, especially that fun color. Just might have to test drive one to see how it feels.
The Nissan Rogue Sport does sound like a great job for road trips. I also really love that orange color!
This sounds like a great car! My mom has a Nissan and she really likes the brand.
That is a nice looking car. I’m going to keep,it in mind for the next time we’re in the market.
Nissan makes awesome cars. This looks like a really fun car to drive. The color is great too!
What an awesome set of wheels! I could definitely see this car as a great adventure vehicle, since my boyfriend and I love to take adventure drives and go exploring.
We are looking for a new vehicle and this really looks like it fits the bill. Love the orange and want AWD for sure. I would definitely go for the sporty model, the extra features are so worth it.
I have never tried the Nissan Rogue, but my husband and I are thinking of an SUV sporty type. I have always liked Nissans and may take one for a test drive in the future.
Wow the Nissan Rogue Sport SL AWD looks like an amazing vehicle. I love the new Monarch Orange color. I need to take one for a test drive. We are looking for a new car with these features.
This does look fabulous. I really like that color too. I’ll actually be needing a new car soon so I’ll keep this in mind.
We were able to use an Nissan Rogue over the weekend a few years ago. We just loved it! I would buy one in a minute.
That is definitely a sleek little ride! I love the more rounded look and those wheels are beyond beautiful.
We drove Rogue not that long ago and i absolutely loved it! So comfortable and roomy even with my small army of a family. I a glad you had some fun!
We are looking for a new car, so we have to check this Nissan Rogue out 😀
I just LOVE the color of it!! Such a bright and fun color. I will have to check out the Nissan Rogue. Looks like a great family car.
Nissan cars are up to date with technologies. Their safety features are always good. I love this color and interior amenities are so good.
This is the car my husband wants SO bad. He even wants this color. LOL I think he will be jealous that you got to test this car out and he didn’t!
I love the shape of that front end. Very sporty. I also tend to gravitate toward that color!
That’s a great looking car. I’ve been reading up on the Rogue lately because I’m looking to replace our current car.
Gorgeous color and the interior is BEYOND dreamy! I could definitely do with a sweet ride like this!!!
That’s such a cool car! I love the styling, and Nissan is a great company.
