Gen 2 • 2014-2020
The T32 generation saw the Rogue become one of the best-selling compact crossovers in the U.S. While it offers spaciousness and advanced features, it is sometimes plagued by CVT transmission issues.

The current T33 generation offers enhanced technology and safety features. Problems such as infotainment freezing have been reported, but it remains a top choice for families.
Rogue Sport • 2017-2022
While the Rogue Sport, or Qashqai, shares the Rogue name, it operates on a different platform, appealing to those who prefer a sportier, more compact ride.
Known issues by generation
Each generation of the Nissan Rogue has its share of known issues. The Gen 1 (2008-2013) models sometimes experienced AWD coupling overheating. The Gen 2 (2014-2020) is notably affected by CVT transmission failures, leading to class-action lawsuits and extended warranties. Other issues include oil consumption in the 2.5L engine and electronic hood latch failures. The latest Gen 3 (2021-present) has seen reports of infotainment system freezing. Understanding these issues can help donors gauge their vehicle's value accurately.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of your Nissan Rogue can vary significantly based on condition, mileage, and trim level. For example, AWD versions typically command a higher resale value than 2WD models. Models in higher trims like LE, SV, SL, and Platinum can fetch a premium, with good condition examples potentially exceeding $5,000. Always consider IRS Form 8283 Section B for appraisals on vehicles valued over $5,000 to ensure you maximize your tax deduction while donating.

Maryland regional notes
In Maryland, Nissan Rogues are popular vehicles, particularly in areas that experience snowy winters. Many owners appreciate the all-weather capabilities of the AWD models. However, with the aging Gen 2 fleet, many owners are looking to upgrade to newer models. Understanding local driving conditions can help you assess the value of your vehicle as you consider its donation, ensuring that it benefits local families effectively.
