Changes from 2019
No hybrid is listed for 2020; the 2.0-litre four-cylinder is listed for 2019 but not for 2020; two recall campaigns name one of the two years and not the other (back over prevention and engine and engine cooling).

Fuel economy and running cost
Its most efficient version (2.5-litre 4-cylinder) is rated 29 mpg combined, better than most for the 2020 SUVs we cover (median 26 mpg across 44 other EPA listings); the thirstiest version is rated 27 mpg. At 15,000 miles a year and the national average regular gasoline price of $4.28 (EIA, week of Oct 19, 2026), fuel would cost about $2,220 a year in the most efficient version and about $2,380 in the thirstiest.

What owners told NHTSA
Short excerpts from owner reports submitted to NHTSA. They are unverified and describe one vehicle each.
“While trying to get into my vehicle my door wouldn't open. I had to open it manually with my key. Once inside, I noticed the door locks Also wouldn't lock or unlock my driver's side door.”
“while driving the car, sometimes the collision light will come on and the car will automatically stat braking even through there are no car in-front or around.”
“My front and back auto collision breaking sensor keeps going off as if something is in front of me. It’s not in the back as well.”

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023.
