- Soon CX-5 2016
The Rogue does have some nice features, especially that sunroof. But the interior just does not compare to the CX-5. I have been in the CX-5 but not the Rogue so I'm just going off of pictures for the Rogue. I will have to test drive one but I think the CX-5 will still offer the better driving experience.
The Rogue is indeed very nice! If the local dealer had given me a better trade-in price and the delivery time was shorter I might have gone with it instead of the 2016 CX-5. I found the interior to be better than the 2015 CX-5, and about on par with the 2016. The sunroof is great (mostly for those riding in the back). No automatic transmission is is available up here though. I was somewhat impressed the parking assistant actually worked. I doubt I'd actually be using it that much since it takes a little while to tell it where you want to park (and you look like some jackass fiddling with his stereo while doing it, not nice when there are cars waiting to go past). The 4 way camera was pretty much useless during my test drives due to the weather. The cooled/heated cupholders were great, I wish the CX-5 had at least cooled cupholders.
It is different driving experience though, but I'd recommended a test drive anyway.
