2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid review

1. Thrifty engine choice 

As you slowly step into the world of electric-powered vehicles, the 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid gives a good introduction. Under the hood, you'll discover a 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an electric motor creating a combined output of 176 hp. This hybrid option comes as an option on the SV and SL trims of the 2018 Nissan Rogue and features front-wheel drive (standard) or all-wheel drive (optional). 

2. Impressive fuel usage 

Thanks to the hybrid engine, this ride sips fuel. The 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid with all-wheel drive gets an EPA-estimated 31 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway.

If you go for the front-wheel drive model, you'll enjoy an EPA-estimated 33 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. So, go ahead and plan that weekend drive in the country or a long-overdue visit to relatives a few hours' drive away. 

3. Awesome standard features 

If you're eyeing the 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid in the SV trim, you'll love the cozy driver comforts including heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. When it's time to unload your arms filled with shopping bags, the hands-free-opening liftgate will make you smile. There's also a six-speaker audio system to amplify your favorite tunes streamed from the Bluetooth® connectivity, as well as Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. 

4. Handy driver aids 

Whether you're handing your keys over to your newly licensed teen driver, or simply enjoy all the bells and whistles to make navigating city streets easier, the 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid delivers. On the SV trim you'll enjoy the rear parking sensors, reverse automatic braking, a blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alerts, lane departure warnings/assists, and automatic emergency braking when pedestrians get detected in your path. If you opt for an SL trim, you also gain stop-and-go adaptive cruise control and steering assist to keep the SUV in its lane. 

5. Room for cargo 

In addition to having room for up to five passengers (with ample leg and headroom) in the 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid, you'll also appreciate the large door pockets to store winter gloves or road trip snacks. Behind the second row of seating, you have 27.3 cu-ft of space to tuck away daily school backpacks, the weekly grocery haul, or weekend sports gear. If you don't have backseat passengers, the rear seats fold down opening up a total of 61.4 cu-ft of cargo for larger items, such as a dog kennel or multiple storage totes.
