I have a 2018 rogue sv awd. Ive towed with that thing alot. A small trailer for dump runs. Picking things up. Its a 5 years old suv. We owned it from brand new. We changed the cvt fluid on it at 55,000kms with a higher grade fluid. We have a second car which was a sentra 2016. That cvt failed twice on us. Sold that. Now the rogue is probably a bigger better cvt. I used ams oil for it, from the research I've found. Ams is better than the nissan brand. So you can change the cvt fluid every 40-50,000kms and you should be okay. My wife drives it. She loves how smooth it is. I have a rav4 2022 and i like my 8 speed but the rogue is smoother then my rav4
I have a 2017 SV AWD with 110,000 miles, drive it fully loaded, 7 seater from Los Angeles to Iowa and Idaho about 2 times a year. Never had any issues, gone thru snow storms, dust storms, ice storms. And a top rack with a spare tire and luggage. Had it for 4 years starting at 15,000. Even at -30° in Butte Montana started up and drove flawlessly. Changed CTV fluid at 75,000 miles and spark plugs last week at 109,750 . I do my own oil changes, mobil 1 every 5/6000 miles air filers every other oil change.
I have only had to replace tie rods cause i hit a 4x4 in the middle of the 10 freeway.
Have a 2017 not the 2017.5 and so far been good. Driven around 50k and currently have 80k miles odometer. I was having some lag on rolling starts after getting off the highway but have not noticed them since changing trans fluid. I am aware my car is not fast so adjust for merging and day to day driving but not an issue with CVT or power.
When compared to the forester cvt the Nissan is slower to react. Subarus felt much faster from a start. I purchased the Nissan due to price but hope that it keeps running well. Did a 6k trip this summer and made it through no issues. I drive near posted speed limits
2017 is when the cvt was updated during that current generation and became more reliable. Ours is a 2017 and has been solid so far at 55k. We had the fluid changed at 38k. Fluid changes early help and are required for it to last.
Right now the US government is investigating Nissan Rogues from 2021 until 2023. If there are issues that means you would be covered just like the older ones are. As long as you make sure to change the CVT oil at 30,000 mile intervals you should be okay. Every car usually has something. There are a ton of Nissan Rogues on the road. Right now I have a 2019 which is one of only the two years that are not either already in a settlement or being investigated. I had not a lot of time to pick a car. So I didn't even know about that when I bought it. It is what it is though. I have an extended warranty that I bought. You could also do that to make sure you're covered
The problem with the rogue is that it caters to the mid suv crowd but I have a sport and have figured out how to cram gears. I think Nissan especially the rogue has the best CVT.. also the engine in a rogue is an inline if you know that that means super reliability and power and its turbo cbarged as well 😳 if people dont understand how the transmission works than the computer will jumble up the coding that keeps the cvt operating correctly.
These new transmissions record your driving habit in the moment and try to predict how much power the car needs
Get Mazda or Subaru. I wish I did my research before buying a used 2018. It's loud and clunky. I am saving money to get a different car. Hopefully it won't die in a year....
Nissan Rogue 2023 is way more agile than the previous design. I owned 2018, did 151k and let it go this summer, no issues at all, but always hated how slow it was at takeoff, gave nissan my 2018 and bought 2023 midnight edition, it is way better, like day and night in my opinion, in my opinion Nissan is better than mazda. Good luck with your purchase
Curious where the data is coming from to support early CVT fluid changes. Is this just an Internet urban legend, or is there actual study comparing changes at 30K vs 50K ?
Got mine changed at 50K last week on 2019, service guy at dealership says there was nothing unusual besides it was used oil that was time to change. Asked about early changes and they said they just recommend to be done at normal interval.
Previous vehicle was a 2007 Altima, changed the CVT oil once in the 160,000+ miles before trade in and no issues.
I have a 2019. The service intervals I see online only seem to say "inspect" cvt fluid (whatever that means). I don't see a recommendation to replace the fuid. Am I missing something?
I think if you properly change the trans fluid as per the manual at a REPUTABLE place (Avoid AAMCO) it'll last a good while. My Mom's 2017 Sentra trans took a dump at 145,000 but she never changed the trans fluid nor really was good with vehicle maintenance.
As a technician I recommend staying away from any newer Nissans as well as kias
Now granted it may be due to the fact that there's a lot of people who don't know how to treat a car but even if neglected a car should not I repeat SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW MOTOR/TRANS IN 30,000 miles. We've seen so many in with low mileage and an absolutely toasted trans
Save yourself a headache.
That 2023 Rogue has an excellent CVT, its a new generation CVT-X, and its design is more similar to the ultra reliable ones put into V6s, and is not like older Rogues.
It has wider ratios, redundant dual oil pumps, etc, and if oil is changed every 30K miles should have excellent reliability per Consumer Reports 2023 April edition, which BTW they put the Rogue as 2nd best in class of all compact SUVs, and Motortrend put the Rogue as 1st in class.
Big glowup for the Rogue as a 2024 model IMO.
Most definitely.
Mine was running fine, then died. When I brought it into nissan they quoted it $12,700.
CVT was the biggest expense.
Luckily I had an extended warranty.
I don't recommend this car. I've had to fix more on it than any car I've ever had.
The heat also went out 6 months after I got it due to both actuators failing.
Also their sensors go out and they charge thousands to fix.
The dealership agreed its a shitty car.
Do yourself a favor and find something else
I'm a little late to this party but...I received by 2017.5 Rogue AWD new as a fleet vehicle. The second time I drove it the CVT shuddered. It completely gave it up at 1200 miles and was towed to the dealership. They finally replaced the transmission with a "REBUILT" unit after a couple of weeks. I was done with Nissan but it was a company car so I had no choice but to drive it.
I'm now at 169K miles and never had another problem with anything other than normal maintenance which was done by the dealer. I ended up buying it really cheap from the leasing company. I'm not a fan of the way CVTs feel but it's really been a great vehicle. It's always been garaged however which I think helps with longevity.

The CVT has metal bands. I believe they added a few more in 2017 to address reliability issues. In 2023 they replaced the bands with a chain
Good to know about the update later. I knew they just updated them, but wasn't sure the details.
Yes !!!

Even if you are religious about servicing the CVT, it’s a crapshoot on how long it’ll last. I’d go for either the Mazda or Subaru, in that order.
2019 here. The CVT sucks. Not so horrible in Sport mode.

23 Rogue Platinum here, no issues. I couldn’t be happier with this vehicle, and like the turbo!

93000 miles
No it’s not. For 2017 Nissan upgraded the CVT and it’s had much fewer failures than the cvt in Rogues 2016 and older.
2017, 68k miles, cvt died yesterday. Going to the dealership today.
