Just ordered a 2015 arctic blue Rogue sv

[Johnnyjet]

I just ordered an arctic blue Rogue sv, it's a factory order and I should have it by Halloween .... I loaded it up with the premium package, accent lighting, exterior lighting, roof cross rails, splash guards and rear bumper protector. After 10 years of honda pilots I'm ready to downsize and save some gas money. I've got nothing bad to say about my pilot, but I'm anticipating the arrival of my new Rogue, cloth heated seats , and much more tech than the Honda. I'm a car enthusiast , and I'm thrilled I could actually order a factory SUV .

When you start calling it a ROGUE, I'll be happy for you ;-)

Ok I blame Siri, didn't realize this forum was also a spelling bee. SIRI you're fired.

I'm waiting for the cross bar myself; asked the dealer to give them to me at cost :-) will take a look at the flyer to see what the color looks like, don't think I've seen it in the wild yet. Lots of black ones, couple of midnight jades, and I think i saw a red one last weekend.

Let us know how you like it once you get it!

It's just a slight shade off the graphite blue. I saw the color on a 14 pathfinder.

[Johnnyjet]

By the way the changes for 2015 are an Eco mode, the new artic blue, heated cloth seats in the SV. That's all I got so far. No more graphite blue.

Yeah, looked at the Nissan press release for the 2015 lineup. Nice color!

Congratulations!

Wow the 2015 is already going to be out in Sept!

Seems like most of you 2014'ers just got them in May due to lack of inventory.

I don't see how they will have time by Sept. to fix any/all problems with the 2014 model (whatever they might be).

Honestly I don't see any big difference. If I was in the market for a Rogue I would wait until the 2015 model is out so I could get the 2014 cheaper.

Enhancements for 2015 include:

Eco mode added to powertrain package
Heated cloth seats added to SV Premium Package
Addition of one new exterior color: Artic Blue Metallic (Graphite Blue no longer available)
Offered in three well-equipped models: S, SV and SL (all models available in AWD and FWD)
Available in September 2014

Due to the amount of factory options I wanted I had no choice but to order. The 15s are being made now. Remember they are made here not Japan so you can factory order one. The dealers don't like you to but will.

So does anyone know what the Eco button does? Going to improve MPG's I guess but not EPA #'s, is that correct?

[Rogue One]

Eco-mode Function

The engine and CVT are constantly controlled in a coordinated way by a computer that normally switches automatically between high-performance and fuel-efficiency modes depending on driving conditions.

The Eco-mode Function incorporates a coordinated control program that makes maximum use of fuel efficiency mode to further improve the vehicle's efficiency. Drivers can easily switch to Eco-mode using either the car navigation system screen or the Eco-mode switch.

Cars driving in Eco-mode respond more gradually to accelerator input. However, in emergency avoidance and other situations when rapid acceleration is necessary, the computer immediately switches the system to enable quick acceleration.

In short it reduces available horsepower, and it also limits the AC unit so that it doesn't run as frequently, thereby reducing engine demand.

[therealroland]

From what I understand from some posts here is that the AC is on even if the AC indicator is off, and if the climate control is not set to 'auto'. In other words, the AC could be running in the background and you would not even know it?

The cynic in me would say that this eco mode is nothing more than a 'switch the AC off, for real this time' button... :-/

[tsumeone]

"Heated cloth seats added to SV Premium Package" should have been there from day 1, Nissan really annoyed a lot of people in the US by leaving that out.

As far as the AC thing, I find that if Auto is off and I turn the AC on and off, it actually stays off until I use Auto again or press the AC button. It's improved my MPG a lot so if the ECO button really reduces A/C usage that could be a very good thing for '15 owners wanting to use the auto climate control.

Thanks for the info....wish this had been on the 14.
