Any 2016 owners here?

[Kim T]

Just picked up my 2016 last night. Excited to see what other 2016 owners are thinking of their new toy!

[followingnfront]

Its the same as the 14-15 minus some new colors and an "SOS" button... So all owners of second gens in general will be able to give you the feedback youre looking for.

Congrats on your 2016 Rogue. I have owned my 2015 Rogue for 3 months now and I'm very happy with the vehicle, and really have no complaints about it.

[colonelcasey]

Did they change the BSW feature to use radar instead of the camera for increased reliability?

[kapesports]

congrats on the new toy...

for the most part, the only major change are how they package the options.. there few adds such as the SOS button, some other small stuff..

in all its the same car as the 14-15..

I also had read BSW was using radar for 2016, but haven't been able to confirm it.

Most significant changes: Foot-activated power liftgate, additional Nissan Connect telematics services and Siri Eyes Free now standard on SL trim.

Automatic emergency front braking is added to the SL Premium Package, which includes forward collision warning, blind spot warning (now radar-based instead of camera-based).

Enhancements for 2016 include:

• Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) added to Rogue SL Premium Package
• NissanConnect℠ Services powered by SiriusXM® added to Rogue SL (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately)

• New Appearance Package for Rogue S models, with body-colored outside mirrors with integrated turn signals, chrome door handles roof rails and privacy glass

[*]Siri® Eyes Free added to Rogue SV Premium Package and Rogue SL

I wonder if this can be added to 14-15 rogue ?

Only with an update to the system from Nissan. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

People need to stop talking about the "foot activated lift gate" lol... Go to your local dealership and try it... Its nonexistent.

It never made it to production

Right - my 2016 is loaded with all the options. The lift gate is not foot activated.

Sorry, I got some bad info from two different websites. Funny thing, the official press release says the S model gets chrome handles now, yet the Nissan website says they're black. http://www.nissanusa.com/crossovers/rog ... ions-specs A quick check of a local dealership shows they are in fact chrome.

Was close to buying, but dealership told me they removed lane departure warning though for 2016? Sales rep didn't seem too knowledgeable about the changes, but I also can't find anything about it on Nissan's site. Can anyone confirm?

Is that really the deciding factor for you? Just a few years ago lane departure warning wasnt even a thing.

Just set your mirrors properly. Before I drove my 15 off the lot I turned all those nanny controls off, and in 10k miles havent turned them back on once. I wish it was never developed for cars, so the cost of the technology wouldnt drive up the price of the vehicle.

Yeah it looks like they're removed that from the Rogue. Odd choice for them to do so when every other car manufacturer is stuffing every automated safety feature they can think of in top of the line trims for each model.

Also weird Nissan isn't jumping onto the HD radio bandwagon like everyone else. Still not offered on the Rogue.

My 2016 has the Lane departure warning.

Nissan's implementation of LDW sucks (at least on the 2014 Rogue). Nissan does not offer LDW on the new Murano because it "annoyed drivers". Yea, when it sounds like an oven timer going off every time it rains / is dark / you are on a side road, it does get really annoying. They should look at how other manufacturers are doing it instead of giving up. A Ford Fusion for example will give you an alert to "Wake up" if you keep drifting out of your lane. Some manufacturers will vibrate the steering wheel. There are so many better ways for the system to operate than just going "beep beep beep __ beep beep beep" every time it thinks you are going over a line.

I haven't had any problems with LDW going off when it shouldn't on my 2015 Rogue. There have been a few cases where bright sun obscured lane markings and the system didn't warn when you drifted over the lines. I assume that's one of the reasons Nissan has changed it from camera based, to radar based, for the 2016 model. As far as the beeps being annoying, there's always the option of turning it off.

I turned off my LDW because there is a road I frequently travel that has tar repair lines all over the lanes and it was setting off the warning.
I was going to hold out for the radar based blind spot indicator but the 0% interest on a 2015 was too good to pass up. I have noticed that rain/road spray on the camera lens does cause the BSW lights to come on at times even with no cars around.

I could see where splatter on the lenses would give false warnings, and again that's a big reason Nissan went to radar based. The 2015 manual does remind you to keep the cameras clean for best operation, but that doesn't help much if you're driving in a heavy rain where water is collecting on the road and being splashed up. The bottom line is BSW, no matter how reliable is only an aid, and should not replace checking your mirrors before changing lanes. Same thing with LDW. If you're so tired you're nodding off behind the wheel get off the road. Don't rely on LDW to keep you safe...

[kapesports]

whats really weird, Rogue still didnt get the auto start option. . for sure i thought they would add it to 2016 model.. seems like all other nissan cars got them..

I have a black 2016 SL with the Premium Package with 35% tint added to the front windows and the LED ground light accessory. I really like it so far. I love the sunroof and LED headlights!

I'll admit, there's a big difference in the camera based blind spot and the radar based. I actually owned a 2015 for a couple of weeks before I got a 2016 (long story). The radar is much more accurate. Driving the 2015 in a downpour made me want to just turn the system off. Also, the alert lights seem brighter in the 2016.

As for the foot activated liftgate, it's listed in the owner's manual with instructions and all. It simply doesn't work though. I like the forward collision emergency braking safety feature but hope I never need to use it.

The other thing I've noticed is that the 35% ceramic tint (Xsun brand) that I had installed has a blue hue compared to the factory tint on the back windows. I'm guessing there's a slight green or blue color on the original intended windows that causes this.

Anyway, I think I'm going to add the illuminated kickplates and call it quits on the mods. I've averaged 27.5 mpg combined which is much better than the 15 mpg that I got in the Armada that I had prior to this.

Is there any way to get the doors to unlock when you put it in Park (without turning it off)

Also— does anyone know how to disable the Nissan connect information collection?

About a month ago, I bought a 2016 Rogue Sl with the premium package (pearl with almond leather seats). Only thing I've added is 20% tint on the Windows.

I really like this SUV. The sunroof is probably what gets the most comments from those who see it along with how "luxurious" it feels on the inside.

As others have said, there is no foot activated tailgate release. The sales associate looked like an idiot as she attempted to show me how it "worked". I do like the automatic release of it, though.

We bought the same exact one. Love the pearl white with almond interior!

There should be a prompt every 30 days that'll allow you to opt out. The page on the screen is about three pages long and has a decline button.

Just got my 2016 SV AWD w/Premium Package two days ago. LOVE IT! Looking forward to following the forum and learning what I can about it!

[selliott37]

I bought my 2016 Cayenne red AWD Rogue SL on Dec. 16 ("Merry Christmas to me"). I absolutely love it. I think I may be verging on being obsessed with it. When I acquired a new parking sticker for work I couldn't stand the thought of putting an adhesive sticker on the bumper or window. I ended up putting the sticker on clear window cling sized to have enough of a border to cling to the inside of the rear window (it worked & my "baby's" protected from adhesive).

[YB40]

2016 Cayenne Red SV owner here. liked the SL but preferred the simplicity of the SV. Has everything I want. They put winter tires on steel wheels and the rubber floor mats and roof rack cross bars in the deal for me. Great so far.
