Nissan Rogue 2010 SL Silver
Test drive of the new Nissan Rogue (American analogue of Nissan X-Trail)
Objectively good, subjectively deprived.
The compact crossover segment is overcrowded at the moment as it offers a near-ideal vehicle for both small families and single car enthusiasts. As more and more consumers discover the benefits of compact crossovers - a high seating position that is comfortable in city traffic, fuel economy of a 4-cylinder engine and reliable traction in all weather conditions - automakers are actively entering the game and offering an increasing range of products. ... Today the segment is represented by the following models without a special hierarchy: Honda CR-V, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Mini Countryman, Subaru Forester, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage, Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Escape, GMC Terrain, Mitsubishi Outlander , Toyota RAV4 and this Nissan Rogue. Almost all of them start at $ 22,000 in base configuration, and prices start to rise significantly as more options are added and higher trim levels are added Nissan Rogue 2010 SL Silver . If you spend more than $ 33,000 in this segment, you will get literally everything at once.
The newest entrant in this class from Nissan is the second generation Rogue, introduced late last year as a 2014 model. After a brief first test drive in October, we did a thorough week of testing the new Rogue. Our plan was to bring the compact SUV into a casual family weekend, where it could prove itself in everything from carrying five adult passengers with their purchases to delivering trays of homemade ham and pies to the party table. Nissan coped with the task very gracefully, but in the end everything turned out to be not as brilliant as its capacity.
By pure coincidence, in the driveway we found the same silver Rogue SL AWD with black leather interior that our senior editor Steve Ewing drove two months ago. In no way would we be able to tweak such a coincidence.
As a quick recap, the base Rogue S with front-wheel drive starts at $ 22,490 (plus a $ 860 shipping charge), while the top-of-the-line SL all-wheel drive starts at $ 30,280 including shipping costs to your dealership. The vehicle arrives comes equipped with a Premium package that includes a power panoramic sunroof, LED headlights, a collision warning system and a package of active safety systems Safety Shield Technologies, which adds another $ 1,990 to the cost. Finally, Nissan is asking for $ 125 for a set of floor mats, which eventually brings us to the amount of $ 32,395. The absence of a third row of seats (an additional option), which allows you to carry seven fastened passengers, which is quite unusual for a compact crossover, was quite noticeable. Inexplicable, but true: the third row of seats can only be ordered with the purchase of S and SV trim levels, which explains its absence in our rich SL options.
Common to all three trim levels is the familiar 2.5-liter QR25DE four-cylinder, which in this case develops 170 hp. at 6,000 rpm and 237 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Also, front- and all-wheel drive models received an Xtronic variator. To increase efficiency and comfort and make the car a little more dynamic, the Sport mode was introduced into this variator.
Other specifications include front and rear independent suspensions with anti-roll bars on both axles. The car has disc brakes in a circle and electric power steering. The base trim comes on 17-inch steel wheels, while the SL comes with 18-inch alloy wheels with 225 / 65R18 all-season tires. Nissan has equipped all Rogue trims with Active Trace Control (an electronic system that activates the brakes on the inner wheel for more stable cornering), Active Engine Braking (helps the engine and transmission when braking) and Active Ride Control (activates the braking system and regulates engine thrust for reduction of rolls and rocking of the car body when driving). Despite the variety of systems aimed at improving handling, it is extremely difficult to suspect the Rogue in sportiness: it is, first of all, a family car.
The five-seater interior of this crossover is best described by the phrase "monochrome gray". The only bright spot here is the red buttons in the seat belt buckle slots and the instrument panel. The carbon fiber and aluminum imitation softens the overall gloom of the interior somewhat, but not enough, and therefore the interior seems dull (we suggest opting for the Almond finish, almond, as this color solution offers a combination of two lighter and more pleasant tones)
