2018 Nissan Rogue SL AWD Platinum Reserve Package Detailed Walk Around and First Look

Hello ladies and gentlemen, it's Christopher from Cars Unlocked. Today I will be presenting to you Nissan's best-selling crossover, the 2018 Nissan Rogue. In 2017 there are some big changes to the front of the Nissan Rogue in regards to the headlight and the front grille. So nothing really to change when moving up to 2018 models. This one being the SL Platinum package, you do get the LED headlights and obviously they're the Nissan Smart on and off and down below you do get the LED fog lights. They kind of flattened out the Nissan symbol. It is a little bit larger than last year's model and it's right in the middle of the nice chrome v-motion grille here. These top model roads come with an around view monitor. So there is a camera right on the front and that's going to help with all the technology that I'm going to go through a little later. In the middle package you do get the rear privacy glass so that comes in our top models as well. Nice roof rails right on the top. They're going to protect when putting things on the roof because you do have that dual panoramic moonroof and you do get the chrome handles with the keyless entry there. Take a look at the mirror. One thing different in this top model packages between the other roads is there is a camera right here. That's going to help again with that around view monitor. You do get the LED turning accents right on the mirror here as well. So this Rogue is sitting on the 19 inch aluminum alloy ribs. The ribs go to this two-tone black and silver when you go up to this platinum package. And as you can see in behind it, it's sitting on the disc brakes there. Moving on to under the hood. Nissan has the 2.5 liter CVT transmission under the hood of this Rogue. Same as last year's model. No changes really. It's going to pump out about 170 horsepower. Here in Canada, it's going to come with the full warranty. Three-year, 60,000 comprehensive warranty. Five-year, 100,000 and Nissan's roadside assistance. The CVT transmission is going to make it very good on fuel. You're going to average about 9.6 liters per every 100 kilometers in the city and 7.4 liters per every 100 kilometers on the highway. So really puts the Rogue above its competitors as far as fuel economy. Moving on to the back. We do see that Nissan has blacked out these LED taillights a little bit. Our backup camera is right below our Nissan Simo. That's going to help you when parking. And then our trunk release is right down below in between our Rogue and our SL all-wheel drive badging. Nissan advertises these Rogues as conquering all conditions. So it's an intuitive all-wheel drive system. Going to be good for the Canadian winter, for the snow, for the sleet and for the ice. Some added technology that you get in this Platinum model is the motion activated tailgate. So I just need to click my foot below there and it's going to open up automatically. Makes it easy if I have groceries or things in my hand and I can close it as well. Taking a look at the key, okay. We do have our lock, unlock and our power liftgate button right on the key here with our panic button as well. These keys do come with the remote starter so you can start it up from a distance of 400 meters. I just need to have the vehicle locked and I click and hold it there and the vehicle starts up. It is an intelligent remote starter system so it's going to automatically adjust your temperature to get the car to 21 degrees. Perfect in the wintertime, perfect in the summertime if you want to cool the car down or heat it up in the wintertime. With the Nissan intelligent key I just need to push the button right on the door and I can unlock and lock the door. That way I can leave the key in my pocket and I never have to worry about losing or misplacing my keys. With that said let's unlock the 2018 Nissan Rogue and take a look at the interior. Right when I hop into this Platinum Reserve package I do notice the nice tanned leather interior. It's a gorgeous brown and it does have the quilted inserts throughout. It is a six-way power adjustable driver's seat with the lumbar support and it does have two memory positions for your driver and for your outside mirrors. So let's start up the Rogue and take a look at some of the features. As long as the intelligent key is in the car I just need to put my foot on the brake and push the start button. It didn't really change much as far as the wheel goes from the 2017 model. It does have the nice d-shaped wheel which is going to give you a lot of leg room. Our Bluetooth and our radio controls are on the wheel and it is a leather wrapped steering wheel. The intelligent cruise control does come in these SL models. So basically what that is is it's going to use the forward facing camera and the technology. You can set the car lengths of where you want to be behind the car in front of you and as you have the cruise control on it's going to automatically adjust your speed for you to keep that optimal distance from the car in front of you. And then of course my Bluetooth answer calls and make calls use the voice commands. Lots of different things you can do with the voice command buttons as well. Being the top model it does come with every safety feature that Nissan has to offer including the forward emergency braking, the blind spot monitoring system, the lane departure warning, as well as the moving object detection using your backup camera. Okay so not too many changes to the 8-inch screen here. I can see the display is a little bit more vivid. It seems to be a little quicker as I flow and navigate through the screens. The pixel ratio of the LED screen looks a little bit higher so it gives for a little clearer letters and photos as I cycle through here. But tons of things I can do with the infotainment system. Obviously I have a video going through all that but I can use the Sirius satellite radio. So I can sync my phone via Bluetooth. I can also connect to nearby Wi-Fi connections using the infotainment system here. I can do things with the Sirius XM like my sports, my weather, my stocks, different things with your Sirius XM subscription. Another cool feature I can use is the Nissan Connect app that's on my phone. So I can basically do things like remote start my car from a distance, GPS track my car right from my phone, and lock and unlock the doors. Which is all works in connection with the infotainment system. So it does come with the SL Platinum, this Nissan GPS navigation system. Very similar to the one in last year's model. One thing I do notice is they made these bottom menu buttons a little bit opaque. So I do get a wider viewing of my map and then of course I can zoom in and zoom out and move things around and see all my points of interest right on the map here. Really cool feature in this SL package they did add the around view monitor. So same as last year's model however the forward facing camera does have the moving object detection. So it's going to alert you if something is moving. And my guidance lines are a little bit easier on the around view monitor as well. The backup camera comes on automatically when I put it in reverse and then I do have the same with the rear cross traffic alert. It's a very nice same dual temperature control system that Nissan has in all their models. I just put it into automatic mode and the fans are going to automatically come on to get to the temperature that I set here. Perfect if you want to be hot and your girlfriend wants to be warm on the other side. So no changes really to the rear of the seat when going from the 17 to 18 models. You can see the gorgeous tan leather is predominant throughout. Everybody's favorite feature in these rogues is the divide and hide storage system. I can adjust this shelving unit to fit whatever I need. Very simple to use. There's a ton of different configurations and it's going to make it very versatile to stop your cargo and keep everything organized. I can take them right out. They're just tethered on here if I want the extra trunk space. And then our spare tire is right below. With the seats folded down I do have a ton of room for big items. If I'm shopping at Ikea or doing some renovations on my home I can fit whatever I need in the rear. So thank you very much for watching another video.
