The front seats have dense bolstering that feels good after hours-long road trips. The Rogue offers plenty of seating space and comfort, though its third-row option is more for pride than for passengers. It's substantial and controlled on the road it just doesn't have the vivid feedback of an Escape or a CX-5. Nissan also uses stability control in clever ways, by applying brake to certain wheels to smooth over bumps and to cut cornering lines.
