Pros & cons

Pros

Roomy, comfortable cabin with above-average cargo space and Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide adjustable load floor.
Strong real-world fuel economy for the class, with front-wheel-drive models EPA-rated around 26 city / 33 highway.
Inexpensive to maintain and repair: RepairPal rates it 4.0/5.0 with a low average annual repair cost.
Available driver-assistance features including forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking.

Cons

The soft suspension feels floaty over bumps and the Rogue trails class leaders for driving refinement.
The CVT drones under acceleration and remains a long-term reliability and longevity concern.
The automatic emergency braking system has been widely reported to brake for phantom obstacles.
The Rogue depreciates faster and holds its value less well than top-selling rivals like the CR-V and RAV4.

Depreciation

2017 entry trim from new typical floor (assumed, past curve data) same model bought new today

Move your cursor along the line to see the estimated value for any year.

Curve anchored at the entry-trim base MSRP ($23,820). Higher trims started higher (up to $31,310), and options added more.

The curve's data ends 10 years in, so the line levels off after that. Treat the tail as a floor, not a forecast: asking prices for older cars depend mostly on condition, mileage, and the current market, and often sit well above it.
