Nissan Rogue Rock Creek | All The Same Thing?

We review the new 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek, the outdoor lifestyle variant of the regular SUV. We drive it, talk about the changes and question the purpose of all of these. Others to consider are the Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, Chevy Equinox, Mazda CX50, and Toyota RAV4.

Mark is a Nissan man first and foremost. Anyone who owns a Murano Cross Cabriolet is obviously deeply Nissan

I have seen fake vents and artificial aero, but this could be the first time I’ve ever seen what are essentially red paint-on fake tow hooks. I’m disgusted and impressed. they’ll say it’s just a fun styling cue, but that’s 100% them trying to simulate the look of red tow hooks without actually putting on tow hooks. Amazing

1.5 3 cylinder variable compression & CVT. What could go wrong

[colechapman]

I needed the rock creek model because Target installed a speed bump

I just bought one. Five thousand down and in 108 months this baby will be all mine.

So no underbody protection, additional ride height, or suspension changes. Got it.

Whomever is in charge of roof racks at Nissan is the one carrying that brand, and has been for years. Imagine an Xterra without a roof rack. Terrible, right? But now look at a 2011-ish Frontier vs a Frontier Pro-4X, the roof rack is what makes it look good. I'd argue the same goes for the current Pathfinder vs Pathfinder Rock Creek and now the Rogue vs the Rogue Rock Creek. Those beefy tubular roof racks are carrying a lot of the aesthetic weight for these vehicles. So once again; Mr./Mrs. Roof Rack Designer, we salute you as the true load-bearing hero that you are.

My salesman was great, and so honest. When I told him I could afford $999/month he talked me down to the SV model for $799 so I can afford to replace the VC turbo every three years! Talk about customer focused!

Salesperson: Welcome to the Nissan dealership, how can I help you.
Buyer: I have bad credit.
Salesperson: Altima or Rogue?

You guys are lucky you have a large and loyal fanbase. The amount of existing knowledge about your show and cars in general needed to understand this level of sarcasm would leave any rando shopping for a car scratching their heads.

Never change guys!

Wow, I loved the music at the end. I also love your outbursts in these videos. They catch me by surprise and make me laugh every time

The compression and gear ratios are variable, but the failure rate is consistent…

Back in the 1990’s we were really roughing it. We would go tent camping with the kids in a ’87 Chrysler 5th Avenue with anemic air conditioning. The 318 V8 and auto trans got us thru anything. I cannot image exploring the outdoors in a lifestyle vehicle with a three cylinder variable compression engine linked to a CVT made by Nissan.

Mark is head to toe in his Patagonia off road appearance package. 😂

Jack gives off the vibes of the guys I used to play Magic the Gathering with a decade back

Just picked one of these up and I'm ready to hit the trails. Traded in my restored 1998 TJ with a five-speed for something with, let's just say, A little more nut? 🥜

3:07 - Honda Rogue Trail Sport - I wish Acura made a version so I could go glamping in it.

Aren’t these trims mostly a response to most CUVs all looking like blobs. The “outdoor” thing is an attempt to get the cars to look a bit more brawny, and to help their owners forget their suburban cookie cutter existence. If anything, companies should just make their base models more square and save themselves the complexity of an extra trim line.

Incredible film my legends. I'm waiting for the Nissan Rogue ROCK LOBSTER PACKAGE 🪨🦞

[Azrael]

Is it tuff enough to handle Martha's Vineyard?
