2023 Nissan Rogue SL review

I rent a 2023 Nissan Rogue SL FWD for a week on a trip. Here is my review.

Good,

  • The engine is quiet even though it has only three cylinders. 
  • The engine has enough power to haul four adults.
  • It has good fuel economy. I averaged about 28 mpg.
  • Handling is agile among all SUV that I have driven.
  • It has features like,
    • powered lift gate
    • comfortable powered seats
    • wireless phone screen projection
    • three zone AC
    • four USB ports for charging
    • proximity key entry
    • adaptive cruise control with lane centering assist
    • parking sensors
    • 360 degree camera
  • The instrument cluster has two analogue gauges and a LCD display. The trip computer is easy to use.

Meh

  • The KR15DDT engine has complaints of reliability issues.
  • Only the driver's window supports "one touch" up and down.
  • I don't like the gear selector. I often shift into manual mode by accident. 
  • The lane centering feature does not work well on curvy roads.
  • The driver seat's lumbar support cannot be adjusted vertically.

Bad

  • Proximity locking and unlocking uses the same button on the door handle. So it is hard to tell if the door has been locked or unlocked.
  • Adaptive cruise control sometimes (once every other day) disengages on its own.
  • There is no audible alarm when the car is moving and a door is unlocked.
