What the heck is up with 2017 rogue? best seller??

[slimsol]

2017 rogue has been best selling car since begining of the year.Nissan already sold more than 100k rogue this year. Highest selling car in march 2017 beating crv , rav4 and even camry by huge margins. why so many new 2017 rogues are being sold? Is there an incentive that dealers are offering? In march alone 40k rogues were sold. What has changed in 2017 rogue other than hybrid model and some cosmetic changes. All online reviews are bashing on rogue still highest selling car of 2017 so far

It is a pretty ridiculous sales pace. It's likely that Nissan and their dealers are pushing incentives like crazy in order to push volume and gain market share ahead of pure profits. They're trying the position the Rogue as the best bang for the buck to get all the hot features at a lower price point than the competition. It also doesn't help that Honda is usually terrible at inventory and Toyota has a love/hate design on their RAV4.

It'll only continue to grow once the Rogue Sport/Quasqai-clone comes to the US later this year. They'll just lump all sales under the Rogue brand and remain at the top of the pack.

Any idea what those incentives are? Nissan dealers always gave few thousand dollars discount for new rogues. What has changed for 2017 rogue? Any difference driving wise?

It's 0% APR for 72 months with $1k in cash here. Way better than back in 2014 when I bought my car. Lease deals are also keeping cars flying out the doors as well. Lots of dealers have a ridiculous inventory of Rogues around here so it's easier to get what you want sooner.

Driving dynamics are basically the same as the past model. It just looks a little sportier and edgier than the competition, despite the anemic motor that Nissan refuses to update to something more modern and dynamic.

Toyota rav4 offers 0 apr almost nationwide. No dealer in indiana offered 0 apr when i was in market for rogue. I heard someone got fully loaded sl rogue (mrsp 33k) for 27k. I am not sure which state he was in

Must be the Star Wars tie-in ;-)

Yeah that must be it. Honda and mazda pays youtube reviewers to promote new crv and cx5 but it's not helping their sales

Nissan is definitely being aggressive with selling their Rogues. I got an amazing deal on mine 2 weeks ago, especially since I was trading in a '16 Accord that I only had for 6 months and had about $2-$3k in negative equity. Plus the features and the ride comfort is much better than the Rav4. Only thing I wish this car had is the 3.5 or an updated 2.5 since the car feels pretty under powered compared to it's rivals. I really miss the 3.5 from the '02 Maxima I had.

I feel the same about 2.5 in rogue but i get 30mpg in city and 35 on highway so i can put up with the lack of power. It is faster and smoother than rav4 tho. I test drove cx5 because of all fake reviews and advertisement mazda is doing to make cx5 look like a sporty and fun to drive suv. it didnt feel much faster than rogue and was much smaller in size and harsh ride. How much did you pay for your rogue and what trim did you get if you dont mind

Yeah that's why I'm not complaining about the CVT since it results in much better fuel economy lol. I did notice that on a lot of reviews on Youtube for the Cx-5.

I got the Sl w/premium package for $33k and change. That includes all the taxes (philly), fees, negative equity and everything. Plus I got two free oils changes and two free tire rotations.

I'm only paying $37 extra a month for this car and my insurance premium dropped as well.

30 city and 35 highway mpg???? What city are you driving in and how are you getting this???

[slimsol]

Indianapolis. I use hypermilling whenever I can. I keep rpm below 1800 rpm. I avoid hard acceleration from stop. I get anywhere from 455 to 490 per tank. On highway I stay around 60 mph. rarely go above 70. Tire pressure little bit higher than recommended.

Just got my first statement and the payoff is actually $30k lol. So much lower than what I thought it was.
