Pros: In 2014, Nissan took it upon themselves to help the Rogue grow into the 21st century, and boy did it ever. With a brand new exterior look, much more interesting drive and better interior features, the new Rogue is a winner. Oh, and they made it possible to make the Rogue a three-rowed people hauler.
Cons: Finally it seems the Rogue has caught up with the modern competition it faces in CUVs like the CX-5 and new Cherokee. And while the third row seems like a super good idea, it’s pretty cramped back there and really eats into the trunk space.
