2019 NISSAN ROGUE HYBRID

2019 ASG AWARDS: Best 5 All-Around Performance

NOTEWORTHY ASG FINDING: Among the Best 5 SUV in 2019, rising to the top of a competitive segment that includes 406 SUV variants that span across two classes.

ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE RATING: 98

  • ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE RATING: 75
  • ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE RATING: 93
  • SOCIAL PERFORMANCE RATING: 91


The 2019 Nissan Rogue also won the BEST ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE award in the Mid-size SUV segment, in a competitive field of 184 mid-size SUV variants. With the average MPG in the segment at 22 MPG (city/hwy combined), the Nissan Rogue's 29 MPG (combined) provides for big economic and environmental performance gains over the competition. The Nissan Rogue Hybrid, with 34 MPG (combined), is the best MPG in class, though due to its higher retail price, the best economic performance in the class tilts toward its conventional counterpart.

RELATIVE RATING METHOD

The Automotive Performance Index (API) applies statistical methods to demonstrate each vehicle rating in relative comparison. For example, the vehicle that performs highest in environment performance in a given class obtains a rating score of 100. Each vehicle in its class is then compared relative to the top-performing vehicle with a rating score reflecting the statistical difference in performance outcomes. A score of 91 translates to a 9% environmental performance deficit as compared to the top-performing vehicle.  

Due to the API’s relative vehicle rating method, vehicle class divisions were identified as a critical input - these class divisions are detailed here.

While the Automotive Performance Index is indeed an exhaustive list of vehicles to trim level detail, with each vehicle assessment reporting over 200 unique data outputs (the culmination of thousands of data inputs), ASG has taken additional measures to ease the burden of sorting through all data points and all vehicle assessments. We have developed key performance categories and sorted all vehicles in each class according to Environmental Performance, Social Performance, Economic Performance and All-Around Performance. The vehicle in each class with the best score in each unique category is named the performance award winner (i.e. Best Environmental Performance Award winner). The vehicle in each class that scores highest combined scores in Environmental Performance, Social Performance and Economic Performance is named the ASG Best All-Around Performance Award winner.

One step further, we also name the Best 5 All-Around Performance Award winners in each class to provide consumers with a concise product comparison guide.
