The Sport's mediocre handling, braking, and acceleration won't excite driving enthusiasts, but the its buttery ride quality and refined cruising nature will appeal to consumers looking for a subcompact crossover that feels grown up. While the engine could be more refined, it's still class-appropriate, and the CVT has predetermined "shift" points that at least interrupt the long periods of high engine revving that occurs during heavy acceleration. The CVT lets the engine slur up to the higher rpm at the slightest prod of the throttle and then holds it there as the car accelerates. The four-cylinder toiling away under the Rogue Sport's hood makes but 141 horsepower and is matched up with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Perky around town, the Sport quickly runs out of breath when accelerating to highway speeds-and it's not rated for towing. If the 2022 Rogue Sport were named for its performance, it would be called the Rogue Relaxed. While most will opt for the front-wheel-drive models, all-wheel drive is available for an upcharge if you find yourself traversing inclement weather often enough to justify the difference in price. The SV model is a great balance of value and features. We originally expected that it would be redesigned for the 2023 model year, likely based on the boldly-styled Qashqai that is sold in Europe, and Nissan's announcement has cast some doubt. Nissan has made no changes to the Rogue Sport for 2022, but it has said that this year will be its last. Likewise, it's becoming dated so buyers seeking the latest in infotainment and driver-assistance tech will be left wanting. Its ride is compliant but the Rogue Sport isn't going to offer much excitement for enthusiast drivers. The Rogue Sport's size puts it into the subcompact SUV class alongside other similarly-sized crossovers such as the Jeep Compass, Kia Seltos, and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Instead, it uses a lot of the same styling and features that were available on the last-generation Rogue SUV, and it comes only with an anemic 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport is the larger Rogue's little brother, but it doesn't benefit from its big sibling’s more modern equipment and design.
