Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Rogue Sport.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (AV-S7)

The 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport is a compact SUV built on the automaker's V platform, equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission (the AV-S7) and achieving EPA-rated fuel economy of 27 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined, while requiring 4.0 quarts of 0W-20 viscosity oil for service intervals. Within its model generation spanning 2017 to 2022, the 2019 model year stands as the least reliable iteration, recording the highest owner complaint count at 96 total complaints with forward collision avoidance as the most frequently cited concern and two recalls issued—contrasting sharply with the 2022 model, which logged the fewest complaints at just 11 during this same coverage period, indicating a notable improvement trajectory as the generation matured.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2019 Rogue Sport sits at the peak of the generation's complaint curve with 96 reports — higher than 2017's 72, 2018's 90, and far above the sharp declines to 54 in 2020 and 35 in 2021. Its two recalls match 2018 but exceed 2017 and 2020, while technical service bulletins hit a generation high of 130 before falling to 97 the following year. The leading complaint categories center on Forward Collision Avoidance (13), Engine (12), and combined Service Brakes/Forward Collision Avoidance (8), with Power Train adding seven; the data does not specify root causes for these patterns. Crash and fire complaints remain low at two and one respectively. Given that 2019 represents the highest complaint and TSB volume before a marked improvement in subsequent model years, buyers should weigh this elevated early-generation activity against the lower-risk profile of 2020 and later models.
