Nothing special here. The front and sides looks flabby, saggy, and contrived. Gonna be another bad side-rear blind spot too. The rearend is pure 2RX.
Also sad of the continual trend of eliminating manual shifting for the automatic.

Good looking CUV. I think the Pathfinder is a great looking one, too bad the interior is cheap.

Heck, in some markets such as in Mexico, they sell ALL THREE (X-trail, Rouge USDM and Qashqai/Dualis)

It's just that now, the US-Market Rogue as well as the international X-trail ARE BEING MERGED INTO ONE. =)

yes, but European media says that this is new replacement for Qashqai+2 and that Qashqai 5 seat will look same, just smaller?

Nice update! I still struggle to see how anyone could even fit dogs into the third row of a vehicle this size, but if Nissan sees a need for it, then hey, go with it!

Finally, good riddance to the current Rogue which is as ugly as sin. Don't know how it became the 2nd best selling Nissan in the US. I guess people don't care about looks in this segment which explains why the ugly *** CR-V sells like nuts. This looks far better.

That looks great. I am loving what they did with it. As a previous owner of a Murano I have to say I am liking what Nissan is doing with their SUVs minus the CVT

The new Rogue is basically the Hi-Cross concept in production form. It really has changed very little. If that's how it goes with the next Murano we can expect it to look a lot like the Resonance Concept (below).

I like the new lines and features. The styling on the Nissan line up was not always the best. I think they are going for more a uniform and modern look. Less of the trying to be sporty look. Just clean and simple like KIAs SUVs
