The Rogue has been Nissan’s best-selling model since 2012, but it wasn’t until I looked deeper into the overall Canadian sales charts for the past few years that I realized just how popular the Rogue has become: outside of pickup trucks, the Rogue regularly lands amongst the 10 best-selling vehicles.

Most of this extra space was filled up with the large bag of recycling we packed in there for our return, and still with a clear view out, but with more strategic packing involved.Ī full week’s worth of gear likely would have either mastered one’s PhD-level Tetris packing skills, or hampered the view out the rear, especially without a rear camera mirror as offered on various similarly priced GM crossovers now.Īs we headed out in the Rogue, satellite stations set, onboard Wi-Fi inquired about from the rear seat and lamented for not being available even for the familiar 90 minute drive (teens remember), what soon hit me was the sheer number of Nissan Rogues we encountered on the drive – many of them black, like our tester. Packing a long weekend’s worth of food, gear and toiletries, there was still plenty of storage space left in the cargo area of the Rogue, while still being able to see out the rear window easily. Instead, Nissan’s best-selling vehicle and not-so-compact SUV ended up taking the four of us up north to a family cottage for a few days instead, kicking off three weeks of social distancing with three days of snowy cottage life with one full-blown teenager and one (barely) pre-teen.īoth of them very used to self-isolation, socializing on screens and heavy sleep patterns – they were seemingly born for this. Why thank you, 2020 Nissan Rogue…thank you for being there to replace the cancelled Air Canada flight that was supposed to be the vehicle that whisked the family and I down south for a few days of Florida sunshine and R&R.
