2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

+360

The latest 2023 Nissan Rogue is the best version of itself yet. It's practical, fuel-efficient and big on standard features and driver aids. It's a solid all-rounder. But compared to other small SUVs, the Rogue has more cabin noise, a less refined ride and an increasingly dated infotainment system.

2023 Nissan Rogue Review

What is the Rogue?

The Nissan Rogue is not only Nissan's most popular vehicle, it's also one of the compact SUV segment's hottest crossovers. It's no mystery why the Rogue is flying off dealer lots. Redesigned just two years ago, the new(ish) Rogue is far more desirable than its predecessor.

The most obvious change is to this SUV's exterior, which features a bold grille and muscular haunches. The Rogue's interior is upgraded with a sharp new look that mixes familiar physical controls with high-tech additions that include a full digital instrument panel, wireless Apple CarPlay and the ProPilot Assist suite of advanced driving aids.

Following last year's additions — which primarily consisted of swapping out the 2021 model's naturally aspirated four-cylinder for a turbocharged inline-three — we don't expect any major changes for the 2023 Rogue. That said, Nissan is offering the Midnight Edition package on several of its other vehicles. We wouldn't be surprised if this package — which typically adds black-painted wheels and exterior trim pieces — makes its way to the 2023 Nissan Rogue. Otherwise, the 2022 Nissan Rogue should suit your needs nicely.

Edmunds says

Following a complete redesign in 2021 and engine swap last year, we don't expect any major changes for the 2023 Nissan Rogue.

Sold an unsafe and improper manufactured car

2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

I purchased a 2023 Platinum Rogue in April 2023, 13 days later my car immediately slowed down and stopped on a major highway in front of a tractor trailer. The dashboard lit up with Engine malfunction alert then Nissan Connect emailed me about an Engine emissions malfunction. My children and I could have died if they tractor trailer would have hit us. The dealership charged $250. for a …

Emission control problem

2023 Nissan Rogue S 4dr SUV (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

We just bought a Nissan rogue 2023. Less than 1500 miles on it and I get a message on my phone that there may be a problem with the emission control system. The engine light comes on so you can not use automatic start, cruise control, or several other features. We of course took it right away to be serviced at Nissan and they said it was a problem with the censor and there is not a …

Losing faith in the 3 cylinder Nissan Rogue!

Kim W., 06/13/2023

2023 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

In January with 2600 miles my check engine light came on and the code pulled was P0181 Fuel Temperature Sensor. So the dealership ordered a new fuel injector pump, which took almost 2 months to come in. Got that fixed in the middle of March and 3 weeks later I was driving on the highway, on my way to the dealership for a oil change and tire rotation when I went to pass a car in front of … me and as I accelerated, I heard a car misfire which I thought was someone else’s car bc I only have 7500 miles so that can’t be me, right?! But as I got a little further, my car started sounding louder and louder and as I gave it more gas It sounded like as if I was driving in 1st gear. No symbols or lights appeared on dashboard so I kept driving. As I got a little further, I could tell my car was not at the speed I should’ve been which would’ve been about 70-75. So I looked at my speedometer and it was climbing down from 65 then to 60. THEN….my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree!!! And the car told me to “Please move over safely!” Now mind you, I am in the fast lane and my car is slowing down and now I need to move over 3 lanes and in front of cars and semis. This was so stressful and dangerous bc I wasn’t sure if my car was just going to stop dead in front of a car and then someone would hit me! But I survived that and managed to get into the emergency lane and put it into park. But then my engine died! I tried to start it after a few minutes and nothing. So I had to call the dealership and have my car towed there. Once there they said they would give me a loaner and call me the next day and give me an update. The loaner they gave me was another 2023 Rogue, but Platinum Edition with only 1600 miles. This car has all the “bells & whistles”. Very nice! So the next day they call me and tell me that they have to replace my engine! Something about a broken rod bearing. They said they have no idea how long it will take for the new engine to come in. Could take 1 or 2 months. So! It’s been a little over a month and I’m enjoying the loaner and all it’s bells and whistles, when all of a sudden I look at my dashboard gauges yesterday and I see the “check engine” light is on! With only 3300 miles. Omg! So now I’m like wth is wrong with these 2023 Rogues?! So this morning I take it to Auto Zone so they could do a diagnostic and pull the code for this light and….WAIT FOR IT….it’s another P0181 code. Yep! It’s the Fuel temperature sensor! So now I get to call the dealership up and let them know that the loaner they gave me has the same problem I had with my Rogue back in January when it had 2600 miles and now I’ll have to bring in this loaner for a repair. SMH! So definitely, Nissan needs to send out some recalls or something. Because this is dangerous. Maybe they should’ve just kept the 4 cylinder engine? Because the way I see it, that is the common denominator. I previously owned a 2018 & 2021 Rogue Sv 4 cyl. and never experienced these issues.

Warm feet or defrosted windshield one or the other

Vince , 12/31/2022

2023 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

I have owned 2 Rogues previously to our new 2023 SV turbo. This model is very good with a couple exceptions. The heater selector had only 4 positions. In order to keep the windshield from frosting over fan must be on max and all air diverted to the windshield. This means that if you want to warm your feet and legs you have to switch the air flow down but then you must constantly scrape …
