Interior looks nice for this segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70 Stang Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Looking very RAV4'ish to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Yeah, it seems the new trend for small CUVs is blocky a la RAV 4 (I see a lot Rav 4 in the rear quarter shot) Rav 4 rear for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I don't know why the show the top of the line model. We all know that 90% of what Nissan will sell of these will base rental model spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current generation 2020 Nissan Rogue sales mix is 25% S (base), 60% SV (midgrade), and 15% SL (high grade) Edited June 15, 2020 by rperez817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment is more directed that these even in SV guise, they were rental spec. Had one as a rental (last resort) and by god it was awful. Neighbor has one, and he'll freely admit he bought it used based on price and cargo capacity only. My anecdotal story, is I only see them with steelies and I see these everywhere. AWD being the only discernible option. It will be interesting to see how this new model sells, as the face looks better, in my opinion. Old face look like a first gen Murano at least to me.

rmc523 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I was also going to come say the rear 3/4 looks very RAV4, but it looks like y'all beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend and a family member each bought one of these. In both cases they bought the Rouge because it offered a very low monthly lease/purchase payment for a vehicle of that size.

T-dubz Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 I think this will sell well. The exterior profile and interior look nice. I’m not a huge fan of the front of Nissan vehicles in general, but if you liked the previous one, I’d say this one looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-Mo Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai/Kia all knocking each other off till you can't tell which is which at highway speed. Not sure how that is all going to work out for them. I know the Toyota and Honda buyers have unfailing loyalty, but others will just get something that looks cool and nobody will know the difference. Seeing the new Escape on the road - looks much better in person than in photos and stands away from the crowd. My 14yo daughter saw one at the traffic light next to us and said; "...I really like that car..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that is all going to work out for them. Compact crossover vehicles in general all have similarly boring styling inside and out. But consumers who buy these things don't care about style. This segment is all about practicality, value, safety, feature set, and quality. New Nissan Rogue seems to be pretty good in those areas, can't say for sure on the value measure until Nissan releases pricing. Anyway, new Rogue should remain among the best selling compact crossovers in the U.S. It's a refinement on a successful formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ford's March rental fleet sales and get back to me.......... From October https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/october-2019-fleet-sales/ Nissan was the top performing OEM last month with fleet sales increasing 34% year-over-year; fleet sales at Nissan are up 5% year to date through October. According to our analysis of the data, we are estimating that both GM and Toyota saw fleet sales drop more than 40% last month compared to October 2018. Ford, traditionally strong in commercial and government fleet sales, delivered lower fleet sales as well in October. Our team has been expecting fleet sales to slow in Q4 from a red-hot pace through the early part of the year. October seems to indicate slowing has begun. Ford always has sold to fleets, but they are of the non-rental type for most products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
